Visiting the Amalfi Coast in autumn or winter might seem like an “unusual” choice. Well, it's actually a great idea!

A couple in Positano

1. Where to stay: intimate and romantic accommodations

Couples can choose from many different accommodation options on the coast.
- If you have a special occasion to celebrate, or if you want your weekend to be romantic, a boutique hotel with a sea view is the ideal choice! These accommodations are small luxury hotels that offer personalized experiences to their guests: they are very well-kept and usually have a unique design and an intimate atmosphere. There are many of them on the Amalfi Coast, both in the more popular villages, such as Positano and Amalfi (with a higher price range), and in the quieter ones, such as Praiano and Ravello.
- If you are looking for a more familiar and welcoming place, I suggest you choose a B&B tucked away in the narrow streets of the villages. Atrani, Vietri, Cetara, and Maiori are some of the best choices: staying there will add a touch of authenticity to your weekend!
- Finally, if relaxation and silence are essential, I recommend looking for accommodation surrounded by nature, perhaps an agriturismo among the lemon groves! In this case, choose villages such as Scala and Agerola.

2. Where to eat: the perfect restaurants for couples

It's practically impossible to visit the Amalfi Coast without sampling the local cuisine! From spaghetti with anchovy sauce to desserts such as sfogliatelle Santa Rosa and lemon delights... every dish will win you over! You'll be spoiled for choice when it comes to restaurants: here are a few suggestions for couples traveling together.

- Restaurants with a view are always a great idea for those looking for a romantic and impressive location: many coastal restaurants offer this opportunity. If you want to impress your loved one, I recommend choosing a restaurant with a view of the colorful houses of Positano, or one from which you can admire the sea. It's a timeless classic!
- Of course, dining by candlelight by the sea has its charm, but choosing an intimate trattoria in the narrow streets of the villages can also be a super romantic experience! Tasting the local cuisine in one of these places will make you appreciate the familiar and authentic atmosphere, and the number of delicacies to choose from will make your head spin! At this link, you will find all the typical dishes of the Amalfi Coast that you should try at least once in your life.

3. Experiences for couples

Want to spend a weekend outside the box? Take inspiration from these ideas!

- If you are a sporty couple, you might consider embarking on one of the trekking trails on the Amalfi Coast! I'm not just talking about the famous Path of the Gods, but also some less popular, yet equally fascinating trails, such as the one leading to the mysterious Ziro Tower or the one leading to the ancient Sanctuary of the Avvocata.
- If you want to combine good food with learning about local traditions and culture, taking part in a cooking class could be a great idea. You will cook alongside real chefs and, of course, taste the dishes you prepare. It is an unusual activity that you are sure to enjoy tremendously! You will find lots to choose from in this article.
- Staying on the theme of “taste and tradition,” not everyone knows that some of Italy's finest wines are produced on the Amalfi Coast! One of the most popular experiences for couples is a visit to the wineries, complete with wine tasting: you can taste the wines paired with other typical products and listen to a guide who will explain all the details of this rich and varied production.

- Is it cold or rainy outside? Then treat yourselves to some pampering at one of the spas on the coast! Couples' massages or a dip in a heated infinity pool are always among the most popular ideas. You can't go wrong!
