Maiori Magic Unleashed!

So, Maiori – it's like this fairy-tale spot on the Amalfi Coast that's got everything. Imagine charming streets, quaint shops with stylish clothes, ceramic shops bursting with colors, killer Italian vibes, and the warm Mediterranean sun kissing your face. Our family totally LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the chill and the thrill of Maiori.

Cool Things to Do in Maiori

Discovering the charms of Maiori unfolded as a delightful blend of exploration and picturesque moments. Instead of delving into historical sites like the Maiori Cathedral, we opted for a more relaxed experience, indulging in the inviting ambiance of cute shops (We love shopping!) and savoring delectable gelato at charming cafes. The views of the ocean along the Amalfi Coast were nothing short of breathtaking. We also explored the town's walking trails, providing a perfect balance of adventure and tranquility. In Maiori, every corner seemed to offer something special – from enticing restaurants to sweet gelato shops, all against the backdrop of mesmerizing coastal views.

High-Speed Positano Day Trip

Guess what we did? Rented a speedboat for a wild day trip to Positano. It was like a scene from a movie – crystal-clear waters, wind in our hair, and the Amalfi Coast as our backdrop. Positano's colorful houses on the cliffs were straight out of a postcard. Trust me, renting a speedboat? Best decision ever.

The San Pietro Hotel.

We all stayed at the San Pietro Hotel, an ideal destination for a relaxed and luxurious experience. The hotel had charm, impeccably clean and comfortable rooms. and exceptional service that made our time truly memorable. The San Pietro was within walking distance to great restaurants, exquisite shops and the beach. The friendly staff were eager to help with anything including delicious cocktails in the fun lounge, a great way to end the day. Elevate your expectations of hospitality at San Pietro Hotel.

My Favorite Maiori Restaurants

Ristorante Pineta 1903: We felt like we were dining under a canopy of lemon trees, and actually we were! The fragrance from the lemons was amazing! In addition to the beautiful, fragrant atmosphere, the fish dinners were delicious. The fish tasted so fresh and if I describe how good everything was, I will not be able to do it justice, so please go there and see for yourself. You will not be disappointed!

Enjoy Bistrot: Experience the beauty of the Amalfi Coast in this relaxing, friendly restaurant with outdoor seating facing the clear blue water of the sea. My sister and I went to this restaurant and had one of the best happy hour meals ever. They were closed but accommodated us since we were starving- such incredibly nice people! After I got home to the US, I just recently got a big surprise! I found out that one of my relatives that I was searching for was a chef there! What could be better- great view, friendly and relaxing atmosphere, awesome food, and a cousin I’ve been searching for!

Conclusion: Our Maiori escapade was a blast, leaving us with epic memories and a serious case of wanderlust. So, whether you're into history, gelato, or just kicking back in cozy spots like San Pietro Hotel, Maiori is the bomb. Pack your bags, hit the road, and let Maiori's magic give you a slice of la dolce vita!

Arrivederci for now, Marguerite Tagliaferro Driscoll
