What people love about Self-Guided Tours in Amalfi Coast
The accommodations in both locations was good and so was the breakfast, however, Domo21 the rooms were warm as the air conditioning was t getting to our bedroom and I was up late a couple of night due to noice from people and children talking after 11p. The tours were great, however, the amalfi coast tour could’ve been just Positano and Amalfi. We weren’t impressed with Ravella or the ceramic factory.
