The coastal area between Napoli and Salerno offers a spoiled choice of breath taking and romantic locations.

Everything of this landscape: the exotic gardens, the churches, the villas and the hotels and cafés, is full of charm. A perfect mix for a wonderful Italian wedding that will make you fall in love forever.
Amalfi, popular destination for British aristocrats at the beginning of last century, is now visited by horde of tourist every year and it is part of the UNESCO World Heritage sites. Thanks to its lemon cultivation, Amalfi is famous for its Limoncello production; moreover it is home of the thick hand-made paper called “bambagina” exported all around the world.
