About this experience

Welcome to my home!

Discover the authentic heart of Amalfi and Atrani, away from the tourist crowds, with a tour that will take you through hidden secrets and perfect spots for unforgettable photographs.

We’ll walk through the ups and downs that will truly get you into the soul of Amalfi and the enchanting labyrinth of Atrani, the smallest village in Italy.

This tour will allow you to understand our coastal civilization, with its stairs and great adaptability. During the walk, you’ll also have the chance to meet the people who are part of my life — family, friends, and locals — making every step a personal and authentic experience.

It’ll feel like a walk with friends, through the alleys where the village life is still alive. We’ll stop for a coffee or an aperitif in Atrani’s piazzetta, our outdoor living room, where time seems to slow down.  

I’ll tell you stories of my two families, my mother’s and father’s sides, and let you experience the Amalfi Coast like a true local.

The tour starts from Amalfi: we will walk through the historic center and explore some hidden, vertical corners of Amalfi.
