Amalfi
You can catch a lemon on your breakfast plate at this hillside B&B on the road to Agerola, with a rustic terrace sheltered by trellises and fanned by sea breezes. Three stylish rooms feature vaulted ceilings, locally made tiles and swish modern bathrooms. It's a good spot for mountain strolls or peaceful contemplation.
Note: there's a two-night minimum stay, but room rates drop significantly in quieter months (as low as €70).
