Our Vehicles
The drive from Sorrento to Amalfi follows the entire length of the SS163 Amalfi Coast road, widely regarded as one of the most beautiful drives in the world. This remarkable road was carved into the cliff face in the 19th century and hugs the coastline for approximately 40 kilometres, offering continuous views of the turquoise Mediterranean Sea, terraced lemon groves, and dramatic limestone cliffs. In a private transfer, you can fully appreciate this extraordinary scenery without the stress of driving yourself along the narrow, winding road.
The route from Sorrento to Amalfi takes you through two of the coast's most beautiful villages. First, you pass Positano, where pastel-coloured buildings cascade down the cliff face toward the sea in what is arguably Italy's most photographed village. Your driver can stop briefly for photos at the famous panoramic viewpoint above Positano. Continuing along the coast road, you pass through Praiano, a quieter village known for its stunning sunset views and authentic Italian atmosphere. The stretch between Praiano and Amalfi is particularly dramatic, with the road winding through a series of tight curves along exposed cliff faces high above the sea.
Amalfi is the historic heart of the Amalfi Coast and was once a powerful maritime republic that rivalled Venice, Genoa, and Pisa. Today, the town retains much of its medieval character, centred around the magnificent Cathedral of Sant'Andrea with its striking striped facade and grand staircase. The town sits in a natural ravine surrounded by dramatic cliffs, with a charming network of narrow streets, artisan shops, and excellent restaurants. The nearby Valle delle Ferriere nature reserve offers beautiful hiking, while the Paper Museum tells the story of Amalfi's centuries-old paper-making tradition. From Amalfi, you can also take boats to Capri, the Emerald Grotto, or easily visit nearby Ravello.
Your driver will pick you up from your hotel, B&B, or any address in Sorrento. The journey begins through the town of Sorrento before joining the coast road at the western end of the peninsula. From here, the road winds along the cliff face, through tunnels carved from the rock, and past terraced hillsides planted with lemon and olive trees. Your driver will point out notable sights along the way and can stop at viewpoints for photos if you wish. The entire journey takes approximately one hour, arriving in the centre of Amalfi where your driver will drop you as close as possible to your accommodation.
The SITA public bus connects Sorrento and Amalfi along the same coast road. While affordable, the bus experience has significant drawbacks during peak season: overcrowding, limited luggage space, infrequent departures, and no guarantee of a seat with a view. A private transfer offers a fundamentally better experience:
