Minori Holidays

Tucked along south-west Italy's Amalfi Coast, Minori's full of authentic charm and jaw-dropping mountain views. With a real Roman feel to it, this relaxed place has plenty of snap-worthy historical spots, including Villa Romana – ruins from the 1st century – and the Basilica of Santa Trofimena – a canary-yellow church in the heart of town. Grab an espresso and a biscotti by the turquoise shore and soak it all up.

To jump from popular, pebbly beaches to lively nightlife joints, head to the cliff-hugging village of Positano, which is just under an hour's drive away. The island of Capri, bobbing off the end of the Sorrentine peninsula, is also well worth a visit. With golden sands and candlelit restaurants, it's built up quite the romantic reputation – making it a real hit with famous couples.

Minori's lined with restaurants that'll draw you in with their sizzling smells alone. From creamy lasagnas and ravioli to classic margheritas and cheesy calzones – that's a saucy, folded-over pizza baked in an oven – foodies will be in seventh heaven here. Try a traditional tiramisu coffee-flavoured dessert with a dollop of mascarpone on the side for the ultimate indulgent treat.
