Atrani is a medieval village close to Amalfi which is a 4 minutes stroll along the corniche overlooking the sea. In times gone by Atrani was the residence of the aristocratic families of Amalfi and home of the Republic of Amalfi's nobility.

The secret of this little town lies in its characteristic Piazza Umberto I, rendez-vous for people of different cultures that have chosen the Amalfi Coast for a relaxing and pleasant holiday.

The stone-paved paths between Atrani's houses ascend from the "Piazza" towards Monte Aureo and Monte Civita where the village was built and carve themselves a niche among the two rocky hills, the Dragone river and its quiet beach; much to be preferred to that of overcrowded Amalfi.

Atrani is located in the heart of Amalfi Coast: 4 minutes walk from Amalfi, 20 minutes by bus from Ravello, 40 minutes from Positano, one hour and half from Pompeii, Herculaneum and Paestum and 2 hours from Naples.

Atrani has got a quiet beach. At only 10 minutes walk there is another beautiful beach accessible by 100 steps. Moreover in Amalfi you can board small boats and reach in ten minutes romantic beaches with access only from the sea or you can choose to board ferries to Positano, Capri, Ischia, Sorrento, Salerno and Naples.

The villagers are friendly and will give you a warm welcome. Join them in celebrating their many festas throughout the summer.

Worthy of mention is the presence in Atrani of six ancient churches: S. Maria Maddalena built in 1274, S. Salvatore de Birecto founded in 940 with its bronze doors created in Constantinople during 1087, S. Maria del Bando erected before the twelfth century, S. Carmine built in 1601, S. Michele Arcangelo founded in 1040 and S. Rosalia.

In Atrani there are five restaurants where you can enjoy being served fresh fish directly from the sea to the dining table. The menu of exquisite gourmet which are available from each restaurant include: mussels au gratin, fish au gratin, seafood Scialatielli (fat spaghetti), S. Andrea style spaghetti, penne pasta with crab meat, Sorrentina style gnocchi, fish soup, "Crazy Water" style fish, assorted grilled fish, Scialatielli (fat spaghetti) with clams and zucchini, reef paccheri (shellfish pasta), "Baracca" style ravioli, assorted fried fish, seafood appetizers, fish baked in salt crust and tenderloin filet with green peppercorns.
