Exploring from your holiday apartment in Minori

Like many resorts along the Amalfi coast, the town of Minori was founded by rich ancient Romans who prized the beauty and cooler temperatures of the coast and thought it the perfect getaway from searing Rome in the summer. They could not have chosen a more dramatic location. The town sits in its own cove on the river Rheginna, almost entirely enclosed by the surrounding hills. These steep hills are terraced to provide land to grow olives, vines and the lemons for which the area is famous. These days some villas also cling to the hillsides, providing a perfect view of Minori and the sea.

Choosing your accommodation in Minori

Staying in a holiday apartment in Minori town itself is perfect to enjoy this unspoiled local gem. Soak up the sun on the beach or sit at the seafront cafes and watch this little part of the world go by. Take time to explore the ruined Roman villa in the town and admire the fine architecture of the Basilica of Santa Trofimena and the local churches like Santa Lucia. Food lovers could visit in early September to enjoy the Gusta Minori food festival. In the bay just next door, a holiday apartment in Maiori will take you to Minori’s twin. This was once the most important town on the coast and its faded grandeur has left a beautiful and atmospheric seaside resort.

Moving on from Minori

Before you leave Italy, a holiday apartment in Venice will see you living in one of the world’s truly stunning cities. The Doge’s Palace, St Mark’s Square, the Rialto Bridge and Basilica San Marco await as you drink in the atmosphere of this unique city.
