I have been to Italy only once, and that was in 1999, so I am desperate to get back and see the South, including the famed Amalfi coast. I imagine it might be like scenes from The Talented Mr. Ripley with sun-filled days by the sea and warm evenings dining al fresco (and without the sinister plot, of course!). It would be amazing to see the coastline by sailboat, explore the Amalfi Drive in a convertible, and walk the surrounding towns.

Staying at Capo La Gala on the Sorrento Coast would be my hotel pick. Perched on the hilltops above the Bay of Naples, this would be the perfect spot for sunbathing and staring out toward the sea with a Limoncello in hand.
