AMALFI COAST CULINARY MUSTS……. ALWAYSES!.(I know this is not a word, but I’m sure you know what I mean)
My fabulous Amalfi Coasts taught me so much. Here are just a few tips!
ALWAYS make sure your oil is nice and hot but not smoking or burning when you are about to fry. Peanut oil is a favourite in Southern Italy for its high heat capacity. This way less oil will penetrate the food and you will have a crisper lighter result. No soggy heavy stuff!
ALWAYS mix your salads with 10 clean fingers! This is infinitely better than a spoon or a folk…..except cake mix.
ALWAYS cook your risotto on a lively flame! That way the rice will absorb each spoonful of broth rapidly and not give you a soggy final product.
ALWAYS use plenty of salted water when cooking your pasta, and don’t overcrowd your pot with pasta. It should be boiling furiously when you drop the pasta in. Cover the pot immediately so the water doesn’t lose its heat and your cooking process will be as consistent as possible.
& BUON APPETITO!

BOOKING YOUR STAY IN POSITANO!
40 years ago I knew nothing about the Amalfi Coast! As you can see from this very very old shot of me, my life was all about Beauty and Fashion. Today I almost feel like I know too much about this stunning coastline!
What a fabulous ride it has been! I remember some of today’s owners when they were toddlers.
But time is not the only change. GONE are the days when you could book a villa one month before arrival. Here are my top booking tips for 2023 onwards.
Book as early as possible. Even one year prior to arrival is normal today. Be specific with dates, please.
Unfortunately there are many non-refundable deposits that are required for hotels, apartments and even some hotels, but many have flexible conditions. You may not get your money back, but many establishments will give you dates further down the track if you need to cancel.
Be prepared that prices have increased considerably since Covid, the Ukraine War, worldwide inflation and the ever-present Italian petrol and electricity prices have added to this headache. How many guests are in your travel part? And what are the sleeping arrangements? How many singles and doubles beds are required? Are any single guests happy to share a room?
The earlier you can give me this information, the quicker I can find the right property for you.
MOST villas in High Season (beginning May to end Sept) require 7-day bookings from Saturday to Saturday. I have a handful of apartments that will rent for 4 + days, but be prepared to pay a price penalty. IF you only want a few days, then it is usually a Guest House (which fill up very fast) OR a hotel.
If all this is overwhelming, just email me your wish list at [email protected] and I will walk you through it all.

I LOVE a bathroom with a window…….and better still, a window with a view! No matter the size, it could be a port hole or an entire wall! Just something that opens!
This is a rarity in big cities, but vertical towns on the Amalfi Coast are famous for this luxury……, especially Positano. From 5-star hotels to simple apartments and Guesthouses you will often find a bathroom with a window and hopefully a view! Doesn’t this just make so much sense?
All these gelato-coloured villas and buildings nestled in against a huge mountain range should have a view from every room!
Here is Mummy relaxing in her sunny bathroom…..now that is special.
Book your beautiful bathroom now for your 2023 Amalfi Coast holiday!

I am yet to meet a TORRE guest who has not totally & passionately fallen in love with this magnificently situated 13th-century tower in the heart of Positano.
It is discreetly tucked away below the roadside, the quietest side of the road and is perched above the main beach of Positano. What luxurious & romantic accommodation for a couple! There is even a fabulous garden annex, totally separate to the tower but a few metres away with room for one more with a full kitchen and ensuite bathroom…If you travel with your own chef this could be ideal.
Book now for 2023!
