Nerano
A picturesque, sleepy fishing village, Nerano is far from the glamour resorts, but is the ideal place to stay to explore the Massa Lubrense national park. This is a paradise for nature lovers, who can choose from more than 100 kilometres of marked pathways. One unforgettable walk is from the village of Torca, down to the coastline of the Marina di Crapolla and the ancient San Pietro church, looking out over Li Galli islands, once the hideaway home of Rudolf Nureyev. |

. Dalle sue stradine all’inizio del Novecento partì Norrnan Douglas per il suo erudito viaggio in Siren Land. Di qui, nel 1968, partì per Londra il giovanissimo Francesco per seguire i corsi di pittura all’Institute of Contemporary Art. Durante gli anni londinesi incontrò artisti come John Latharn, Howard Hodgkin, Roland Penrose e Andy Warhol. In uno scantinato di Eton Avenue visitò lo studio di Kenneth imprigionate in cornici rovesciate e sbilenche dove, ingabbiate sotto vetro, associa a conchiglie raccolte sulla battigia e a ciottoli levigati dalla risacca nelle rotondita tanto care a Henry Moore, altra sua conoscenza londinese.

Baia di Ieranto
Prince Charles arrived in a helicopter; mere mortals prefer to walk down to this wild and rugged bay at the Capri end of the Amalfi Coast. Another FAI property, the breathtakingly beautiful bay of Ieranto has a small beach and plenty of rocks for sunbathing and swallow-diving. Bring everything you need, as there are no facilities.
Get there by boat from Marina di Cantone, or via a pretty footpath (45 minutes) from the village of Nerano, where you can stay in a backstreet at the Casale Villarena (081 808 1779; www.casalevillarena.com; apartments from £435 per week), an 18th-century property belonging to the Marchese of Villarena. Designed for weekly stays, it has conventionally furnished rooms, but the small pool, surrounded by olive and citrus trees, is delightful.
