Maiori, on the Amalfi Coast in Campania, is one of the more relaxed and accessible bases along this famously beautiful stretch of Italian coastline. For UK couples and families it offers dramatic scenery, a long seafront and that unhurried southern Italian feel, without the squeeze of the smaller cliff-side towns.

The appeal is simple, gorgeous coastal views, warm summers and proper Italian food, with a setting that makes day trips along the Amalfi Coast easy to organise.

Where to stay in Maiori

Residence San Pietro Self Catering Apartments is a self-catering apartment residence in Maiori, on the Amalfi Coast, which suits families and couples who like the freedom of catering for themselves while staying close to the seafront.

Getting there and when to go

The Amalfi Coast is reached via airports in the wider Campania area, with onward transfers along the coast road. The warm season runs from late spring into autumn. Summer is hottest and busiest, while late spring and early autumn bring comfortable heat and thinner crowds, which makes exploring the coast more pleasant.

Beaches and the coast

Maiori has one of the longest beaches on the Amalfi Coast, a real advantage in an area where space by the sea is often tight. Expect a mix of sand and pebble backed by a seafront promenade, with calm swimming and easy access to the water, plus the soaring green cliffs that give this coastline its character.

Food and things to do

This is southern Italy, so the food is a highlight, with fresh pasta, seafood, lemons, pizza and local wine all on the menu. Days mix beach time with coastal walks, boat trips and visits to the neighbouring towns and villages along the Amalfi Coast, all within easy reach of Maiori.

Who it suits

Maiori suits couples after scenery and good food, and families who want a beach base with room to spread out and the freedom of self-catering. If the Amalfi Coast is the dream but you want a calmer foothold, it is a smart choice.
