Ticking off a clifftop setting, a thermal spa and famously large pizzas, Vico Equense holidays promise relaxation and traditional charm on Italy's Neapolitan Riviera.

Riviera romance

Lured by its mountain setting and coastal views, tourists have been falling in love with Vico Equense for centuries. For panoramic views, drive the 20-minute journey to Castellammare di Stabia. From there, a cable car will whisk you to the summit of Monte Faito. Next, head to the cliffs to see Vico's ancient cathedral.

Metre-long pizza

You won't go hungry here, as this town's home to famous places making enormous pizzas – topped with delicious ingredients – on a daily basis. Meanwhile, a couple of nearby upscale restaurants are perfect for date night.

Healing waters

Blanketed in sand and pebbles, the local beach is a pretty place to relax. But if you've had your fill of the seaside, the nearby thermal baths are ideal for a day of relaxation. Just a seven-minute drive away, Scrajo Terme boasts a mineral pool and an open-air terrace.
