Buying on the Amalfi Coast, with your eyes open.
Positano, Ravello, Amalfi: among the most beautiful and most expensive coastlines in the world. It is also one of the hardest places to buy well, vertical access, tiny footprints, a long history of abusi and some of the strictest landscape planning in Italy.
The Amalfi-specific risks
- Vertical access: hundreds of steps, no car access and porterage are normal. It changes daily life and resale.
- Abusi edilizi: unpermitted building is widespread on the coast, and unwinding it is the buyer's problem.
- Protected-landscape planning: heavy vincoli that restrict what you can build or change.
- Tiny footprints at huge prices, where every square metre and terrace claim must be verified.
- Overtourism in summer, near-shutdown in winter: very different lives across the year.
Amalfi, or Campania value?
If the famous coast is out of reach or too compromised, the Cilento, the Sorrentine peninsula and inland Campania offer a fraction of the price. We help you weigh prestige against what you'd actually use.
