The 50 kilometre stretch of coastline south of Naples is often regarded as one of the most beautiful regions of Italy, with many people choosing to visit for its white-knuckle drives around the cliffs. The rugged shoreline is peppered with pretty beaches and colourful fishing villages, while the steeply terraced hills are fragrant with orange and lemon groves that shield grand palazzos from prying eyes, many of them luxury hotels.
