That extends to the superb restaurant, also overlooking the sea, and specialising in the typical regional cuisine of Campania. Whether you're out for an intimate dinner, or want to enjoy a leisurely dinner alone or with friends, the Onda Verde provides the ambience you're after. Home-made pastas and speciality fish dishes are high on the menu, along with a variety of other Italian culinary delights. All pastas and sauces are prepared daily with the freshest and finest ingredients, and fine local wines complement your meal. Dinner here is a delight for both the eye and the palate.

The Onda Verde has a bar, private parking, and a lift from the car park to reception and all the rooms. There are beach facilities for Onda Verde guests and - just beneath the hotel - there is a landing-stage for boats to Positano, and daily excursions to the chic islands of Capri and Ischia.

The Amalfi Coast has some of the richest culture and history in all of Italy, and one of the advantages of staying at the Onda Verde is the number and variety of daily excursions. [Region map] [Local map]

Local buses (they stop right outside) take you to the centres of Amalfi, Positano, Ravello, Sorrento, Pompeii and many other towns on the Amalfi-Sorrento Coast. And for those who prefer English-language guided tours - choices include Capri/Anacapri, Pompeii & Vesuvius, Herculaneum & Sorrento, Naples, Paestum and Rome - there are travel agencies offering some excellent days out.

You can hire private boat trips with local sailors by day or night, shuttling you unspoiled little beaches bathed in sunshine. If you prefer to go under your own steam, you can rent rowing boats, motorboats, canoes, pedalos, rafts and speedboats. For more details on prices click on hotel on the Amalfi coast, Italy
