Maiori Pizzeria in Bury Street is owned by Sarah and Antonia Masella ..
“It was always our dream to open our own pizzeria”
A PIZZERIA tucked away in a Nambour side street is fast becoming known for its genuine Italian pizzas
Maiori Pizzeria in Bury Street is owned by Sarah and Antonia Masella
who are both originally from Sardinia and worked in hospitality there and in Germany before moving to Australia six years ago
“We came here on holidays and we fell in love with Australia – the lifestyle and the weather
They spent eight months in Sydney before moving to the Sunshine Coast and worked at other pizza businesses before they saw an opportunity to open their own in Nambour
“It was always our dream to open our own pizzeria
My husband wanted to be able to do what he wanted to do his way,” Sarah said
“One day we were driving through Nambour and saw this shop
My husband likes it because the customers can look down and see the pizzas being made,” she said
Maiori Pizzeria pizzas are made the Italian way
Everything is made from scratch and anyone expecting Aussie touches like barbecue sauce or pineapple will be disappointed.
which are gluten-free but not for coeliacs as we cook all of our pizzas in the same oven
“We have three different types of mozzarella: Fior di latte
Locals have gone mad for the pizzeria’s Maiori pizza since a customer posted about one on social media.
Although the Masellas’ family has now expanded to two children and a puppy
they manage to open for takeaway and dine-in customers for dinner Monday to Saturday and lunch Wednesday to Saturday.

Two-and-a-half kilometers of curves and narrow alleys at 150 meters above sea level
A coast dominated by the blue of the sky and dotted with arabesque domes
All around is the unmistakable perfume of the sfusato amalfitano – the Amalfi lemon
Backpack on shoulders and comfortable shoes on our feet
This ancient two-kilometer road connects the sister towns of Minori and Maiori on the Amalfi Coast
this coastline and its terraces suspended over the sea has a heritage of ancient art and architecture that make it one of the most famous places in the world
known for its characteristic tapered shape
low seed count and above-average acidity – making it perfect for pastry and cooking (and not just the endless glasses of lemonade we are offered while on the Sentiero dei Limoni)
environmental hiker and filmmaker Francesco Damiano
he’s also called the Neapolitan Indiana Jones
not just for his get-up but because of his commitment to raising awareness on the precarious condition of the Path of the Lemons
Frank used to work at an import and export company
but four years ago he quit his job to explore this corner of paradise
he heard the cry of alarm launched by the pro loco (grass-roots civic association) of Minori
They feared for the extinction of the sfusato on a particular patch of the Amalfi Coast
Frank has brought many through – both foreign tourists and Campania locals alike – to see
smell and hear about the role of Torre in the production of the Amalfi citrus
We ascend the staircase leading to the Sanctuary of Santa Maria
and from above we admire the Mezzacapo Palace
and at one point the Bay of Maiori stretches below us
It is the longest stretch of beach on the coast
A few more steps and Frank calls out to two friends
They are both porters by profession – Alfonso working his two legs and Gimondo
construction materials and other goods for locals and tourists
as there are no cars out here on the Sentiero dei Limoni
We see the first lemon groves ahead in the distance
and our nostrils are filled with the sweet and pungent fragrance
composed of low-roofed pergolas typical of the coast
lemons are cultivated atop these arching pergolas
the trees do not grow tall as they do elsewhere
because the flowers would be hostage to the sea wind
Since all of the plant is able to lap the sun’s rays – instead of those branches that would normally be highest on the tree
What may have previously been an ornamental plant is now
with the discovery of its organoleptic properties
an emblem of Campania as well as the nation’s fruit production
Lemon groves have been present on the Amalfi Coast since ancient times
In the course of their expansion and conquests
the Arabs introduced the lemon to Spain and Sicily
and eventually it made its way to Campania
But it was the discovery of the lemon’s use against scurvy
that bolstered the spread of its cultivation here
the Amalfi Republic – home to great seafarers – decreed that local ships must be stocked with the fruit
the demand for Amalfi lemons was very high
there are typically no more young people to pass on the baton
and it is up to those who have lived on the land for generations to continue rolling up their sleeves
who represents the fourth generation of small agricultural entrepreneurs in his family
“Sfusato doesn’t just produce juice,” Giovanni tells us
as he offers glasses of fresh lemonade to hikers passing by on the path “They can become limoncelli
Hikers exchange a couple of euro for his kilometer-zero produce and products – which includes a lemon salad aperitif
and here in the Torre village I am the only one of this age to take care of a lemon grove
but a large part of the Path of Lemons is in danger of extinction due to advanced age of the villagers and flight to the north and abroad
but you can’t live on just the lemon harvest
We are confident in the future tourism will have for this place,” he says
According to the official outlet of the Campania Region
many of the lemon crops in the area are slowly being abandoned
with those in the most difficult-to-reach places left unharvested
This is partly due to the small number of workers who can access the terraced groves
as well as the labor-intensive process of transporting the lemons
She and the women of her generation have given so much to this territory
they walked the path with a basket of lemons on their heads or hanging on their backs
transporting them from their gardens to the sea on journeys that lasted up to two hours
There are poems and paintings dedicated to their pilgrimage
“In this huge reserve of wonders,” Frank says
… She has had a life full of sacrifice and struggle
scents and colors that can only be experienced in the village of Torre
It’s no surprise that the sfusato is the main ingredient at all of the local pastry shops in Amalfi
and juicy and semi-sweet pulp have made the fruit
which has Protected Geographic Origin (PGI) status
Common in the region is its use as a condiment on fish
Some of the area’s best chefs have made it a gastronomical attraction at their restaurants
and even cafes serve drinks like lemon coffee and
the Pansa pastry shop in Piazza Duomo is home to the “Delizia,” which was created by the Sorrentine pastry chef Carmine Marzuillo in 1978
It is a cake stuffed and covered with lemon cream
and has a base of sponge cake soaked in a limoncello syrup
“Plunging your spoon into our delight is like leafing through the pages of a book that you have read many times and that you wish would never end,” the pastry shop writes on a recent Facebook post
The history of this company is intertwined with the vicissitudes of a family that has proudly guided it for five generations
the shop’s charm is in its unchanged appearance
full of 19th-century furniture and gilded mirrors
One of the oldest confectionaries in Amalfi
Pansa received prestigious recognition as a “Historical Place of Italy.”
the famous pastry chef Sal De Riso has invented another dessert inspired by the local lemon
The Sfusato della Costiera is a sponge cake filled with Italian Chantilly cream
and is best paired with Moscato d’Asti
Another good pairing is with an artisanal liquor made from carefully selected sfusato
the Sfusato Amalfitano ice cream cart hawks its citrus creams and sorbets
a sfusato mousse is stuffed into a shortcrust pastry
the well-known Casa Caldarelli bar serves a dessert with sfusato ganache
dubbed the “Positano” and topped with sfusato shavings
This local rind has made its way into other savory dishes
And championing the legacy of this legendary fruit is Frank
what we are looking for is at our feet and we do not realize it.” As we look out at the azure sea
the smell of nearby lemons drifts toward us
“My work is an excuse to shed light on and raise awareness of our forgotten – or worse
traditions and authentic characters of my land
It both satisfies my curiosity and fills me with gratitude

ShareSaveCommentReal EstateForbes Global PropertiesA Monument To Italy’s Historic Past Towers Over The Amalfi CoastByLauren Beale
The Tower of Cesare on the Amalfi Coast of Italy is a rare find even in a land filled with centuries-old properties.
Rising above the popular tourist town of Maiori in the Campania region of southern Italy, the stronghold was erected in 1532 to help defend the city. One of the largest towers built there for this purpose, it occupies a strategic position overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea.
enjoys a strategic position overlooking the water
The mountainside property reaches down to the water through more than a dozen terraces accessed by staircases cut into the stone. Among them is an ancient grotto that has been set up for massage, an amphitheater with seating for 80 that can be used for musical performances or lectures and one with a jetted spa that takes in sea views. Other terraces can be used for sunbathing or as a spot from which to swim.
There are two floors above and one below the main living level.
Four buildings make up the 10,057 square meters of living space and contain 11 bedrooms or apartments of various sizes. There is sleeping space to accommodate 22 and a total of seven bathrooms, many adorned in colorful tile.
But the most striking feature of the property is the four-floor tower itself. Natural light reflected off the sea floods the main floor, which features high ceilings and a fireplace. The space could function as the heart of a home or a hotel reception area.
The swimming pool features a retractable roof.
One floor below is a bedroom and bathroom while the two stories above contain two-room suites with private terraces.
The lush grounds are filled with massive old-growth trees, flowering plants, lemon trees and olive trees.
The 11 bedrooms or apartments can sleep up to 22 at any one time
Maiori is a well-preserved traditional village more than three hours south of Rome and about an hour from Naples by car.

Aug 27, 2024 1:55 PM EDTSouthern Italy’s Amalfi Coast seems to be on everyone’s bucket list
giving it something of an impossible dream quality
The common misconception is it’s a tough place to reach or afford (or both)
You can explore the Amalfi Coast modestly or in high style
spending anywhere from $200 to $2,000 a night
you'll have a magical time and no doubt have plans to return.

The Amalfi Coast is a 25-mile stretch of legendary shore in southern Italy along the Tyrrhenian Sea
It's a 1.5-hour drive south from Naples
Best Time to Visit the Amalfi CoastIt's no secret that the Amalfi Coast is heavily touristed with visitors of all kinds—from jetsetters to backpackers and everything in between—for nearly half the year
The old advice was to avoid July and August
early September and late spring can be packed with crowds too.
Our current recommendation is to visit in later September into October when the throngs thin and the sea temperature is still perfect for swimming
and Ravello—but off-the-beaten path options abound in this compact area that will help you make the place your own
While it’s almost inevitable that travelers will try and second guess which iconic coastal resort in this country is worth seeing first—the Amalfi Coast or the Italian Riviera—the easy answer is that you can’t go wrong either way
each is unique enough that you’ll just have to settle for experiencing both
the following four days down south might just tip the scale.
The latter will slightly overshoot the Amalfi Coast
but this way you’re avoiding traffic
walk to the ferry terminal (less than half a mile) for an unbeatable intro to the coast—and proof that there’s nothing like arriving by sea
Handmade ceramics from the Amalfi Coast are a popular souvenir
Begin in glamorous Positano and work your way east
you’ll recognize the town by the famed green- and yellow-tiled dome of the Church of Santa Maria Assunta
Positano is a magical mixture of refinement and casual authenticity
A delightful jumble of multicolored villas and hotels climbs up the hillside
which is like a half-bowl above the dark pebbles of the main beach
You can get happily lost among the narrow pedestrian walkways
peeking into high-style boutiques and art galleries
Vines and bougainvillea adorn the exterior walls and form shady canopies
Unlike most Italian towns, there’s no central piazza, which encourages wandering. Eventually you’ll make it down to the seafront, which is lined with open-air, scene-y restaurants like Chez Black
and kayak or swim from cove to cove in the dark
you’ll hear the church bells ring while local boys play soccer on the beach
and feel like you’re in a mid-century Italian film
which is lined with beach bars and offers an even more laid-back and natural vibe
breathtaking cove where a flight of stone stairs invites a private swim.
The magnificent Il San Pietro di Positano hotel melds into its cliff-carved cove.
A bit outside of town sits one of the world’s top resorts, the spectacularly situated Il San Pietro di Positano
the Relais & Chateaux hotel owned and managed by the legendary Vito Cinque boasts terraced gardens
and rooms and suites (no two alike) with panoramic views of the coast
brings guests to the private beach and sundeck
Day 2: Hidden Spots Around PositanoBy taxi or bus
it’s time to experience the serpentine Amalfi Drive
Score a seat on the right to enjoy the vertiginous seaside views
don’t head all the way to Amalfi (45 minutes away)
The typical experience is to watch the coast during the drive to Amalfi and wonder about the signs on the road in between the two towns
They offer a level of privacy and semi-remoteness that most visitors never experience
Compact beach enclaves like Marina di Praia are your little secret between Positano and Amalfi
On the edge of Praiano, make sure you spend time at Il Pirata
A flower-lined path leads to this lovely beach club—though the “beach” is a series of platforms (rent a lounge chair) where you can jump in the water and work up an appetite for its fine seafood
The life-changing pasta dish here is prepared with zucchini
a proper cliff-backed beach that’s accessed via a coastal walkway beneath a rock ceiling
There are only a handful of restaurants and bars
boatmen bringing in tourists and the day’s catch
It’s about 10 minutes down the coast to Fiordo di Furore
There’s no real town to mark the spot
but you can use your phone to hop off the bus before a bridge
Beneath that bridge (lots of stairs) is the much-photographed fjord—a narrow cove that snakes under the arches of the bridge to a small pebbly beach
La Locanda del Fiordo's scamorza cheese with grilled vegetables
End your day with dinner at La Locanda del Fiordo
The moderately priced hotel set on multiple lushly landscaped levels is a true cliffside find where you can dive in and explore caves at the bottom
the street-side restaurant at this little gem is so beloved that people book tables to enjoy the brilliant insalata di mare (seafood salad)
reflect on the fact that you’ve experienced treasures of the Amalfi Coast that few tourists here have even heard of
You’ll immediately notice that the iconic town of Amalfi has a different texture and layout than Positano. Once the bus or taxi drops you off on the waterfront, strolling under an arch leads to a vaguely symmetrical layout somewhat redolent of a Cinque Terre town at first
with a cute piazza and a fountain at its center
As you ascend past boutiques selling linen shirts
cut to the left or right to find a half-hidden staircase and explore how the locals live and grow their lemons on these steep hillsides
with its striped marble Byzantine façade
lords over the town square—and there’s nothing in Cinque Terre quite like that
Upscale Ravello is conveniently located on the mountain above Amalfi. About 30 minutes of precipitous, hairpin turns by taxi or bus, Ravello with its polished feel and storied history is worth the commute. Greta Garbo would holiday here. Author Gore Vidal made his home here. One of his favorite spots was the 11th-century Villa Cimbrone
the Terrazza dell’Infinito (Terrace of Infinity)
is one of the most iconic spots in all of Italy
Postcard views from Hotel Caruso in Ravello
In a coastal region blessed with unforgettable hotels, Hotel Caruso
which dates from the 11th century and is managed under the Belmond luxury brand
“The infinity pool looks like a ship heading to the line of the horizon where sea and sky can't be distinguished one from the other,” says managing director Alfonso Pacifico
If you’re able to tear yourself away from this palace where even the fitness center enjoys an incredible view and the signature Caruso suite offers a private garden suspended over the Amalfi Coast
the hotel offers a complimentary daily boat tour
the Amalfi Coast remains a place of fabulous hiking
head toward the multiple stairways that will bring you from the rarefied heights of Ravello to the edge of the sea
If you’re flying out of Rome in the afternoon
you’ll have time in the morning to hike down to the paired towns of Minori and Maiori
Take a swim off the sandy beach of either or both
Minori's popular Pasticceria Sal De Riso opens at 7 a.m.—so fill up a bag of tortes and other pastries while you’re down on the seafront. Just know that the taste of the Amalfi Coast will linger even longer than the limoncello cream in the panettone.

Discover all the events scheduled for this fantastic Carnival of Maiori 2024.
During the days of celebration it was permissible to let go, free oneself from obligations and commitments and devote oneself entirely to joking and playing. Furthermore, masking made the rich and the poor unrecognizable and thus any type of social difference disappeared. Once the holidays were over, rigor and order returned to dominate society.
If you decide to participate in the Maiori Carnival, you can benefit from an efficient car rental service to get around at your own pace.
• Carnevale di Caiazzo: municipality in the province of Caserta which hosts a somewhat unconventional carnival every year. In fact, famous for its parade with wheelbarrows, the participants in the carnival dress up in typical costumes and masks, then parading along the streets of the city center inside wheelbarrows throwing confetti in the air!
Explore the sumptuous royal flats of the Royal Palace of Caserta, the Throne Room, and the enchanting park sprinkled with lush vegetation benefiting from a ticket by Visit Italy.

A Pflugerville family is shedding light on the struggles experienced by same-sex couples having a child
They say current legislation forced one of them to adopt the child birthed by her partner
Chantelle and Courtney Graham are both legal parents to 8-month-old Maiori Graham
But they say getting there wasn't easy
"We just thought we're a normal married couple
We're choosing to have a child within our marriage."
The two used in vitro fertilization to have Maiori
but biologically Maiori is Courtney's child
Elizabeth Brenner is an LGBT attorney of law
same sex marriages are new," she said
Brenner says under state law only the birth mother has legal rights to the child. She says in same-sex marriages there is no clarity within the law stating the second parent's legal rights would be honored
Which is why she says they encourage a second adoption
"The law is not 100 percent clear on whether the non-birth parent in a same sex relationship
will be treated as a legal parent," Brenner said
a judge declared Courtney to be a legal parent to Maiori last Tuesday
"Although our marriage is federally recognized
our family is not federally protected," Chantelle told CBS Austin
The two say they hope sharing their story will spark change
"I would much rather be spending five or six grand on a college fund for Maiori
than I would want to have to spend for protecting her," Courtney said
Courtney and Chantelle Graham have been married since 2016
a process allowing Courtney to provide the egg and Chantelle to carry the baby
The option made the Pflugerville couple excited to share a special bond with their child
But after the first few visits with their doctor
they found that being a same-sex couple meant a certain vulnerability as parents in Texas
signing a birth certificate does not ensure every Texas court views both women of a same-sex couple as equal parents
Although parentage is not always challenged
the safest way for a non-birth mom to be seen as an equal parent is through second-parent adoption
“What’s really hard about that is that she’s my genetics
and in our marriage it should be supported
it shouldn’t be something we have to go fight for,” Courtney said
said Texas courts are less likely to challenge the parentage of different-sex couples than same-sex couples
and that second-parent adoptions are a way for same-sex couples to have 100% proof of their parentage across all states
courts are struggling with providing that parental presumption to the (non-birthing) spouse
even though the way the Texas Family Code is written
Knowing the adoption would only occur after Maiori’s birth made for a clouded pregnancy
which the couple said consisted of phases of denial and fear
Chantelle said a main source of stress came from the required $900 home study
in which a social worker came to their house to ask questions and view their living space
This was to judge whether Courtney was fit to become the parent of their newborn
it was almost like an out-of-body experience,” Chantelle said
why am I with someone who is assessing whether my wife is going to be an appropriate parent when I’m carrying her child?”
It took eight months after Maiori was born — and $7,000 in expenses — for Courtney to adopt her daughter on Sept
The Grahams chose to go to a Bexar County court in San Antonio
which is historically known for its more liberal rulings
for a better chance of receiving a favorable ruling
Skeen said the inequality regarding parental presumption in Texas is due to courts providing different rulings in cases like the Grahams’
because you have some courts saying yes and some saying no in our state,” she said
“There is not a definitive answer in our courts yet
If you would go into the northeastern part of the country which is historically liberal
She said that in other states it’s often easier for courts to rule that whoever is married to the birth mom is the second parent
Courtney said while they are thankful for the ruling
it’s hard to be excited over an adoption they never expected would be necessary
it wasn’t a celebratory thing,” Courtney said
“It was something that should have been granted when Maiori was born.”
Apart from the financial burden they expect to face with adopting each of their future children
they worry that Maiori will grow up among court dates and home studies
This is why they are contemplating a lawsuit against Texas to prevent themselves and other same-sex couples from having to adopt their biological children
“I never want Maiori to feel less than because she has two moms
and I feel that this process might have that impact on her,” Chantelle said
“Our biggest motivation is making sure that she doesn’t have to go through this.”
John Steinbeck drew back the curtain on Positano
most likely changing the course of history for the most picturesque town on the Amalfi Coast
This romanticized 30-mile stretch of Italian coast on the southern edge of the Sorrentine Peninsula still impresses with cliffs towering above pebbled coves and villages hugging improbably steep slopes
continues to monopolize the attention of most travelers
But seek out less-heralded towns — from neighboring Praiano
to the central coast’s twin beach towns of Maiori and Minori
to the hilltop hamlet of Ravello and the eastern fishing village of Cetara — to discover the untrammeled charm and enduring beauty that exist all along the Amalfi Coast
Reaching the Amalfi Coast is typically an arduous journey involving multiple modes of transport — ferry, train, bus — or a precarious drive on the narrow, winding coastal road. To refresh, head straight to the central village of Conca dei Marini, which has relaxation options for every budget. For the high-end, ascend to Monastero Santa Rosa
an exclusive cliff-top resort in a former monastery with a new bliss-inducing spa
Book a massage featuring aromatic Santa Maria Novella oils
and a session of thermal bathing in the sauna
steam room and restorative hydrotherapy pool (from 90 euros
descend hundreds of steps leading from the main road to Marina di Conca
a small cove with a pebble beach from which you can freely soak up the sun or wade into the emerald Tyrrhenian Sea
West of Conca dei Marini, the town of Praiano boasts captivating coastal views anchored by a colorful tiled cupola. But its most interesting attraction is down by the sea: Torre a Mare, an 800-year-old limestone watchtower built on a rocky outcropping that is now home to the gallery and studio of the artist Paolo Sandulli
pay a visit and climb the rickety spiral staircase to admire terra-cotta busts with wild tufts of hair made from dyed sea sponges
follow the walkway toward the waterfront for an aperitivo at Il Pirata
a lounge and restaurant in an unbeatable location with tables on a stone terrace beside the sea
for live music (bands play everything from jazz to classic Canzone Napoletana) and a nightcap
On a coast dominated by rocky and pebbly beaches, the town of Maiori is an outlier, with a wide swath of sand and a palm-lined promenade perfect for peaceful morning strolls. After a walk, turn away from the water for a cappuccino at Pasticceria Napoli
a cafe that also serves exemplary sfogliatelle
ricotta-filled pastries native to the Campania region
a lemon-colored church with panoramic views and a hidden basement museum filled with religious curios (hours vary but polite requests for entry are often accommodated)
From Maiori, it’s a pleasant 20-minute walk west along the coastal road to Minori, a pint-size village that hosts a surprising archaeological gem: Villa Romana, the excavated ruins of a Roman residence from the first century
Begin a visit in the site’s museum (free) before exploring the ancient mosaics
now patrolled by gangs of neighborhood cats
On the spectrum of Italian food specialties, most revered are products named after their place of origin, like prosciutto di Parma and aceto balsamico di Modena. Add to that list alici di Cetara, anchovies from the fishing village of Cetara on the eastern side of the coast (easily reached by bus). After meandering around the harbor, filled with fishing boats, settle in for a seafood feast on the terrace of Ristorante San Pietro
regarding specials like bluefish carpaccio and bottarga risotto
but don’t miss the pasta with colatura di alici di Cetara
an umami-rich sauce made from barrel-aged local anchovies
A series of switchbacks leads high above the sea to Ravello, a town whose sublime views can stir emotions like a work of art. For the most unforgettable tableau, follow the stone footpaths to Villa Cimbrone
a historic residence turned hotel with enchanting gardens (admission
the property has been masterfully landscaped with wisteria-covered pergolas
beds of English roses and blooming hydrangeas
a long walkway leads to the Terrazzo dell’Infinito
so called because of the endless views spanning the dramatic coastline
But beware: a peek over the railing will reveal a stomach-churning drop of more than a thousand feet to the sea below
Many foreign tongues can be heard in tourist-friendly Ravello
and they can all be satisfied at Babel Wine Bar Deli & Art
This bright space has only a handful of tables
and it doubles as a gallery with colorful ceramics and paintings from area artists
The wine list also highlights local producers
so try a fruity Tramonti rosato from Ravello’s A.Sammarco winery
the bruschetta with burrata and confit tomatoes recently paired well with a bowl of refreshing gazpacho mixed with creamy mozzarella and crisp prosciutto
Finish the meal with delicious ricotta-and-pear cake and a chilled shot of local limoncello
Stick around after dinner for an evening sonata or symphony. For decades, the Ravello Concert Society and the annual Ravello Festival have lured the world’s most talented musicians to the self-described “City of Music.” Despite its remote location and small population
Ravello hosts performances most weekend nights in various locations: the spectacular outdoor stage overlooking the sea at Villa Rufolo
the futuristic curved-dome auditorium designed by Oscar Niemeyer
and more intimate venues like the Annunziata Historic Building and the new Ravello Art Center
so verify the evening’s program in advance
a classic cafe in the shadow of the cathedral that is popular among Amalfitani as much for the prime people-watching as for the delizie al limone
Then pop across the piazza to Mirkò Fine Art Gallery
colorful works by the mononymous area artist Mirkò
which sails past coves carved into the cliffs and the impressive fjord at Furore
climb aboard a dinghy headed to one of the secluded spots you spied while cruising this cinematic coastline
Base yourself in Amalfi for easy access to transport (bus and boat) and a central location on the coast
The newly renovated bed-and-breakfast DieciSedici (Piazza Municipio 10
Amalfi; diecisedici.com; from 100 euros about $113) opened last year with six stylish rooms featuring mosaic floors
chandeliers and modish furnishings on a quiet piazza in the historic center
Those intent on following in Steinbeck’s footsteps can check in to one of the 58 rooms and suites at Le Sirenuse (Via Cristoforo Colombo 30
Positano’s premier luxury hotel retains the feel of a private home
albeit one whose swimming pool boasts a postcard-perfect view and whose terrace transforms into the romantic
rose-scented Champagne and Oyster Bar at sunset

Chantelle and Courtney Graham expanded their family from two to three
Through a process called reciprocal in vitro fertilization (IVF)
Courtney’s fertilized egg was placed in Chantelle
and Maiori has my genetics," said Courtney Graham
"So that's what reciprocal IVF does is it allows you to
kind of where we have the best of both worlds for sure.”
Courtney’s parental rights were not guaranteed
“Same sex couples have to do more to protect their rights
especially LGBTQ couples in Texas have to do more to protect their rights than opposite sex couples," said Christine Henry Andresen
"A heterosexual couple that went through IVF
even if they didn't use the father's sperm and it was donor sperm
they're still granted their parental rights
So that's what's really frustrating and really unequal about the law today," said Courtney
Both Courtney and Chantelle are on Maiori’s birth certificate
but there are cases where Texas judges only granted parental rights to the woman who gave birth to the baby
having gay marriage legalized federally would eliminate all of these issues
It does nothing for the rest of our family," said Chantelle
“It was really painful to hear that in our marriage
and the fact that we are like lovingly bringing a child into the world that we're suddenly second class citizens for something that seems so normal for us,” said Courtney
"We're having a baby in our marriage."
Courtney had to formally adopt her own biological daughter
"I think what really doesn't make sense to me is that our marriage is federally recognized as equal
but if we were in a heterosexual relationship
then she wouldn't have to adopt her own child
It just felt really unfair," said Chantelle
"You can find plenty of room in the Texas Family Code to make the argument that they shouldn't even need to do it
that these people are already parents under the family code for this reason or this reason
and because of sometimes even prejudice in the appellate courts and some court decisions
So in order to have the maximum protection
[LGBTQ] people go get the court orders to protect their families," said Andresen
where adoptions don't get granted to LGBT families
I think what's so infuriating and kind of humiliating in this process is like that there's no protection underneath our marriage," said Courtney
we can use these older structures and explain to the court how this kind of family fits into these and get them the orders they need to protect their family but it's you know
The Grahams said they had to pay $900 for the home inspection
"There's a financial burden," said Courtney
"It also increases the inequality for families who can't afford a lawyer and can't afford to do this."
“We came out of that kind of bittersweet because we were thankful that Courtney's rights as a parent
But we're also just frustrated that we had to go through this and knew that we'd be going through it again in a couple of years," said Chantelle
Courtney and Chantelle plan on having more children
they'll have to go through the entire adoption process again
or my outcome of this would be can we change the laws to get it so that we're recognized in our marriage
And maybe that will change with getting the word out there that this is how the laws are today
in the future we won’t have to go through this process again," said Courtney

As for the Garden Show and Spring Festival in Beirut
The focus was exclusive to La Lampe collection
which was introduced for the first time to the Lebanese market

We would not have asked for more especially for a first exhibition of Maiori’s products.”
Although the purpose of the Garden show wasn’t to gather professionals
Simexa managed to meet some architects who showed interest in the products due to their uniqueness
“Our main objective during this participation was brand awareness in a new market
we were surprised and proud to have met with designers and prospects
and we hope to remain in contact for future collaborations”
Another attraction created by Maiori’s stand was the brand’s meticulously designed display with the shade that drew visitors curiosity in checking the stand

There are so many beautiful Amalfi Coast towns
This guide will cover the best places to visit along the Amalfi Coast
You don’t even need to follow our Amalfi Coast map – these incredible spots are listed in east-to-west order
Vietri Sul Mare is a beautiful coastal town and the only town on the coast with its own train station
with burned orange rooftops and bright white buildings
Vietri Sul Mare is the closest town to the major city of Salerno
Vietri Sul Mare is a brilliant place to experience ‘larger than life’ Amalfi
Vietri Sul Mare isn’t all sandy beaches and beach clubs
despite being one of the more modernized Amalfi coast towns
including the Museo della Ceramica Vietrense – a museum dedicated to colorful ceramics
The vineyard Le Vigne di Raito is another must-visit
Vietri Sul Mare has a definite slow pace and an extroverted personality
Cetara is classy to its heart and easily one of the best Amalfi Coast towns
Typical of the region’s smallest towns
Cetara doesn’t have many attractions and instead offers more of a traditional all-around aesthetic
The small town has the Torre di Cetara – a massive tower on the east end of the beach that dates back to the 14th century – and a large
extravagantly decorated Catholic church in the town center
Cetara definitely gives off more of a fishing village vibe than a town
So if you want somewhere compact and cultural (without appearing as ‘try hard’ by museum cramming)
Cetara is one of the most natural towns on the Amalfi Coast
The Amalfi town is where to visit for a beach day amid beautiful architecture and family-run cafes and restaurants
pay close attention to a left-hand turndown Via Provinciale – the only road that takes you in and out of little Erchie
The village has a lovely beach on a dramatically rocky coastline
only reachable by regular paddle boats and canoes from a neighboring beach
an exclusive wedding venue atop a sheer cliff with a traditional watchtower and terrace
Erchie doesn’t have much else apart from a handful of bar restaurants
it is great fun for a day trip spent on the beach
And the hidden aspect of the village’s second beach
gives it an adventurous vibe if you want to spice things up
Maiori has been a popular holiday destination since the Roman times
and you can still visit the Roman villas and historical sites left in the town and its almost directly adjacent town
with town centers just a 20-minute walk apart
While we will treat them as different destinations for this guide
it is good to remember that you can complete both towns (and their respective attractions) in a single excursion
This Amalfi Coast town is packed with history – from the medieval period and beyond – and is somewhere to visit if you want historical attractions and sightseeing
Maiori itineraries are full of more than local food and a small beach
So this town is best suited to go-getter types of tourists
Tramoniti is one of the most mountainous collections of Amalfi Coast villages you can visit
you’ll need to drive or catch a bus (or otherwise brave an hour and 20 minutes on foot just one way from Maoiri)
Tramonti is much more agricultural than the touristy towns and villages along the shoreline
It is where you’ll find olive groves
many believe Tramonti to have been founded by Romans
The area isn’t actually just one village or town
but a collection of hamlets – aka very small villages
a significant bonus of heading up into the mountains for a better vantage point
Heading to Tramonti is one of the best ways to get a scenic panorama of the coast below
Minori is Maiori’s little historical counterpart
this Amalfi town is one of the most historically significant
You can expect far more than just a sandy beach
Minori has Roman attractions and lots of culture on offer – plus fantastic access to the path of the lemons and the scenic hike that links Maiori and Minori
be prepared for steep staircase after steep staircase; there are almost 400 steps along the way
A day trip to Minori is spent at its Roman Villa and Museum
and checking out fantastic architecture like the Santa Trofimena church
It is impossible not to love little Minori
it has a huge character and offers a packed full-day itinerary
It is also amazingly combined with a visit to Maiori or Tramonti
Ravello is one of the prettiest Amalfi coast towns
set slightly in the mountains with a stunning vantage point over the coastline below
This Amalfi Coast town is most famous for the luxury hotel Villa Cimbrone
and you can visit to see its infinity terrace overlooking the ocean
Ravello is very much a resort town on the Amalfi Coast
there’s even a grand auditorium in the little town
Oscar Niemeyer Auditorium is a bizarrely curved concert hall hosting regular events
Ravello is somewhere to stay for a definite culture fix
Scala is another gem amongst the mountainous towns on the Amalfi Coast
Despite being one of the main 13 towns on the Amalfi Coast
Scala doesn’t attract anywhere near the crowds that major hubs like Positano see
Scala is still a brilliant candidate if you are looking for lesser-visited day trips along the Amalfi Coast
but Scala is actually the oldest town on the Amalfi Coast
It is said to have been founded after a shipwreck in the 4th Century AD
Scala is one of the most beautiful towns and one of the most historically significant in the Campania region
The perfect day in Scala is spent wandering between different historical churches and enjoying the dramatic views down to the ocean
Atrani is the Amalfi Coast town that would arrive overdressed to any party
with extra details like green rooftop domes and blue-painted shutters
The town screams authenticity with cobbled streets and a road propped up by archways that jut up from the beach and are illuminated at night
Atrani is a peacock against the rocky cliffs of the Amalfi coastline
Atrani is somewhere along the coast that you should consider basing yourself for a few days
and you need more than a day to appreciate its vibrant scenes
it is an excellent base to explore other Amalfi Coast towns while visiting
Next up is the namesake of all the Amalfi Coast towns
you’d see that Amalfi is centrally located right in the heart of the coastline
and it’s one of the main hubs of all the towns on the Amalfi Coast
Amalfi sees some gorgeous sunsets from its beautiful beach
And it also has plenty of attractions to justify it as one of the coast’s top day trips
a grand medieval cathedral with architecture that would fit in a Game of Thrones scene
Or you can visit the Diocesan Museum of Amalfi or Antico Arsenale della Repubblica di Amalfi – a museum dedicated to a rich history of local maritime
like a little microcosm of the Amalfi Coast towns and the wider region
It is full of beautiful architecture and exciting attractions
This town is set on such a dramatic section of cliff that it is almost built on a vertical cliff face
Conca dei Marini juts up from rocky swim spots with brightly colored buildings ranging from light pinks to intense yellows
Once little more than a fishing village terrorized regularly by pirates
Conca dei Marini is now one of the most exclusive places on the Amalfi Coast
The town has breathtaking views and is an absolute guarantee on any boat tour worth its salt
This bright green sea cave is created from refracted light and is 30 meters high
It was discovered by local fishermen and can be reached by boat or a steep staircase from the Amalfitana highway
If you want a town with a statement aesthetic
Only a few Amalfi Coast towns have ‘feature’ style bridges (the sort of bridges that become attractions in themselves)
So crossing the narrow gorge of Fiordo di Furore to enter the town becomes a double novelty thanks to its dramatic arched bridge
This popular destination has a real sense of individuality
since the Amalfi Coast is famed for its beautiful beaches
it’s only fitting to visit one of its smallest beaches – a tiny beach unnamed by Google at the end of Fiordo di Furore
Furore is somewhere to stop and admire the unique town layout before kicking back on the beach
but it certainly packs a punch with its striking gray stone buildings and dramatic bridge
Pianillo is the best town if you want to get up to the mountain trails in this section of the Amalfi Coast
You drive up from the main highway (or enjoy a bus ride if you’d prefer)
curving up some dizzying switchbacks as you pass through other towns like San Michele on your way
you are absolutely spoiled by some of the best hiking trails on the coastline
Pianillo is very much a hiking destination
Path of the Gods is one of the most famous routes in Pianillo
alongside the slightly trickier Tre Callii Mountain
which offers 360-degree views of the Amalfi Coast
You can admire views more sedately from the viewing platform at Parco Corona – Bomerano
Or just enjoy fresh local cuisine at the numerous restaurants and cafes in the town
Praiano is one of the Amalfi Coast towns right on the oceanfront and the best place to visit for an intense aesthetic
The shoreline of Praiano is dramatic and full of character
with the squeezed sunbathers on the alcove beach
and historical ruins of the Torre Asciola to the east
Praiano’s coast is rocky and unhospitable looking in sections
with alcoves and sea caves scooped out of the cliffs randomly
And a rocky outcrop sits offshore as a tiny jagged island
its rather wild first impression is rescued by much more hospitably colored buildings and a maze of pastel-painted private residences
with access to the Path of the Gods from Praiano
which snakes up into the mountains above the town
Praiano is now visited as one of the most aesthetic spots along the Amalfi Coast
you can almost guarantee it will stop at Praiano
It is one of the most iconic towns on the Amalfi Coast
we suggest squeezing Praiano onto your itinerary
Nocelle is the definition of a small-town hidden gem
Frequently described as an ‘ancient hamlet,’ Nocelle sits above the organized chaos of Positano in a comfy little perch overlooking the ocean and coastline below
It is accessible on foot from Positano by a 1,700-step staircase or
if you aren’t feeling the attack on your quads
when pirate raids were rampant along the Amalfi Coast towns
the high-ground vantage point was not only less accessible but a useful watch tower
Nocelle is an amazing day trip from Positano
with direct access to the beautiful Path of the Gods
If you want to get out of the primary tourist radar
Nocelle is an incredible place on the Amalfi Coast
It sees much fewer tourists than elsewhere on the coast
This scenic hiking area is a stunning network of trails from which you spot waterfalls and enjoy beautiful scenery
you can journey to Nocelle easily from Arienzo to start the Path of the Gods trail
Or you can take a day trip to the busier Positano
when actually it makes the perfect base for day trips to other places
You are definitely already familiar with Positano – or at least will realize you’ve seen it before once you check out some Positano pictures
Countless movies have been filmed in this central Amalfi town
If you want somewhere that is equal parts electric and equal parts a beautiful
Positano has an undeniably luxurious undercurrent thanks to its Hollywood paychecks and plethora of luxury hotels
indulgent pace that literally forces you into relaxation
Nerano is the most western of all these Amalfi Coast towns and villages
Most people tick off the significant towns between Positano and Salerno and call it a day
you are really treating yourself to an off-the-beaten-path experience
The town is overlooked by the ruins of the castle Torre di Montalto atop a rocky hill
and Nerano feels almost entirely cut off from the modern world thanks to its surrounding nature reserves and dense undergrowth
What more could you want when trying to escape the crowds of other camera-happy tourists
what does Nerano actually offer as a destination
The village itself has been around for centuries and was actually a favorite spot of the emperor Tiberius Nerone (the village namesake)
The emperor chose the quiet fishing village as his summer residence
The village sits in the vast Punta Campanella Natural Marine Reserve
surrounded by beautiful beaches and wildlife
You can kick back on Spiaggia La Perla beach
the local seafood is sublime – with the freshest catch and shortest food-to-plate journey
It is a top place to visit on the coast for great food
It is an amazing place to enjoy incredible food and a tiny but historic center
Ticking off any of these Amalfi Coast towns is bucket list worthy
but don’t fear getting off the beaten track either
The Amalfi Coast has the best of both worlds
pay attention to these commonly asked FAQs
the Amalfi Coast towns run from Vietri sul Mare
and Furore are all between Amalfi and Positano
and all the towns and villages in this guide are worth visiting- even for a day trip

The Amalfi Coast is a renowned stretch of coastline in southern Italy
beautiful beaches and picture-perfect towns that belong on a postcard
Each town and city of the Amalfi Coast is vibrant and unique in character
making all of them absolutely worth visiting
Here’s your ultimate guide to the best cities
If it’s your first time on the Amalfi Coast and you’re not sure where to begin, be sure to check out our guide on how to spend the perfect week on the Amalfi Coast
The most famous town on the Amalfi Coast is undoubtedly Positano. A splash of colourful pastel hued houses painted across the jagged coastline, Positano is abundant with things to do. Nestled between an enclave of the mountainous hills
this enchanting little town has served as inspiration to artists
including the likes of American writer John Steinback
A place to wander along the quaint cobbled streets and shop for the famous ‘Positano Fashion’ (moda positano)
or feast at a local restaurant and dine with a view
Positano is also situated along the most popular hiking route of the Amalfi Coast
the town makes for a great base to stay while venturing out further and exploring the wider region of the Amalfi Coast
“It is a dream place that isn’t quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone.” – extract from ‘Positano Bites Deep’
Feeling inspired to go? We’ve made a one day in Positano itinerary so you can make the most out of your trip
A small village situated between that of Positano and Amalfi
and home to the popular Arienzo Beach Club
It’s a hidden gem for those seeking a quieter scene
and its pebble beach makes for a great spot to dip into the crystal clear waters and spend an afternoon relaxing
The little lesser known village of Nocelle is situated above Positano
as well as captivating views over the coastline
Offering a serene and peaceful respite away from its busier neighbour
Many people don’t realise this, but there’s actually a town in which the famous coastline was named after, the beautiful and historic Amalfi
the Roman god Hercules fell in love with a nymph called Amalfi
Hercules wanted to bury her in the most beautiful place on earth
and thus decided on this gorgeous spot tucked away in the cliffs of the coastline
Easy to fall in love with, Amalfi is a winding maze of narrow lanes and captivating views. You can lounge on the beach with an Aperol spritz in hand or walk the Path of Lemons to the nearby town Maiori and marvel at the endless lemon trees of the Amalfi Coast.
There’s also a small museum detailing the history and production of paper
This tiny village is attached to that of Amalfi
so many people often think of it as the same place
Situated just a ten minute walk away from the bustling centre of Amalfi
if you walk through the pedestrian tunnel (as if walking through a secret passageway) you’ll find the charming fishing village
this quaint destination offers a quieter more authentic feel of Italy
narrow cobbled lanes and a beautiful beach
offering picturesque views of the Mediterranean
A highlight and must-see when visiting Atrani is Grotta di Masaniello
the cave and home of the Italian fisherman Masaniello
it is surrounded by myths and legends and reveals a glimpse into the history of life in the coastal villages of the Amalfi Coast
the town of Conca dei Marini is a quaint little village that hugs the legendary cliffs of the Emerald Grotto
this natural cave is a highlight when visiting the picturesque village
the small cave is partly inundated by the sea and when the sun’s rays filter through a beautiful and unusual emerald green light effect occurs
Conca dei Marini is known to be a more tranquil pocket of the coastline
a destination where visitors can relax and take in the mesmerising scenery

MENU.page-69730771{--metaColor:#000d06;--navColor:#000d06}LifestyleThese 5 Locations From Harry Styles’ New Music Video Are *Golden*
By now, you've likely watched Harry Styles' "Golden" music video at least 10 times. The video features Styles running throughout the Amalfi Coast, and it truly lives up to its "golden" name. The vibes are immaculate and make you travel to Italy to check out the Harry Styles' "Golden" music video filming locations on a future getaway
The only thing that would make a European vacation even better is having Styles by your side
A teaser of Styles running through a dark tunnel dropped on Oct. 25, 2020, and he was spotted back in September filming in Italy
and it equals this feel-good music video that gives you a glimpse into what it might be like chilling with Styles on this gorgeous coastline
Prep for a future wanderlust-filled vacay by noting some spots that are in Styles' music video
Pack your cutest swimsuit for a cliffside beach trip and swimming in the Tyrrhenian Sea
Don't forget a button-down shirt for taking a hike in the hills and going for a jog through the tunnels
You can even opt for a scenic drive along the coast
any of these five locations will have you feeling "so golden."
YouTubeAccording to this TikTok video, Styles was apparently spotted driving a vintage Alfa Romeo car in Maiori, Italy. He drives right pass the Casa Vacanze
Go for a scenic drive along the same Amalfi Drive road in some matching white driving gloves
YouTubeAs the teaser shows
Styles can be seen running through tunnels in his music video
make sure to cruise through a few of the tunnels along Amalfi Drive as well
and time your drive with the sunset so you really get that golden hour glow
Go for a stroll (or dance like Harry) along some walkable streets in the neighborhoods
Make sure to capture an epic sunset picture overlooking the water
YouTubeAt one point in the video, Styles can be seen standing on some rocks in the sea. Sporting a yellow fisherman's hat, he's having a totally carefree time, checking out some tide pools. While you're on the Amalfi Coast, consider checking out the Faraglioni in Capri
which are rock formations in the water and an epic sight to sea
YouTubeAlong with running through tunnels, Styles can also be seen running along a trail in the hills. If you love to hike, there are plenty of trails to check out on the Amalfi Coast. One that resembles the one in the "Golden" video is the Valle dei Mulini hike
It's a forest hike with waterfalls that would make for such a romantic date idea with your partner
YouTubeTo cool off after all that running, Harry Styles can be found swimming in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Visit a cliffside beach like Cavallo Morto Beach in Maiori
Get yourself an underwater camera to capture some action shots swimming — just like in the music video — that you can post on the 'gram with your fave "Golden" lyrics

if you’re wondering where the Golden music video was filmed
so that you can book a flight and go and recreate it all for yourself
get ready to see some of the most beautiful settings in the world
the Golden music video was filmed around the Amalfi Coast in Italy
which you might be surprised is actually one of the most stunning places in the world – even when it’s not being graced by Harry
Here are the filming locations for Harry Styles new video

The Amalfi Coast tunnels are a very popular tourist attraction there. Some say it can be really scary to walk through them
but I’m sure running with Harry around there wouldn’t be scary at all
this tunnel gives you some of the best views of the mountainous coastline and Mediterranean Sea
According to a TikTok video
Harry was spotted filming the Golden video cruising through Maiori in a vintage Alfa Romeo
which runs along the entire coastline and passes through Maiori
Maiori is home to the largest stretch of beach across the Amalfi Coast
One of the best bits of the video is Harry basking on those rocks in his lil yellow fisherman’s hat
These shots were filmed at the rocks down by the sea
There are loads of rock formations around the Amalfi Coast which are great spots to visit and give you amazing sea views
The paths which are set further back from the coast of Amalfi are lined with hills. There are lots of different hiking routes across these paths which you can get lost on. Out of TripAdvisor’s list of the top 10 trails in the area
Harry’s looks most similar to the Sentiero dei Limoni path along the hills and Valle dei Mulini trek which takes you past a bubbling river
Harry takes a dip in the Tyrrhenian Sea during the video
which is the water off the coast of western Italy
P.S. Here’s a link to the video on YouTube
