Good to know
- Tipping: 5-10% is appreciated for exceptional service but not mandatory. Round up for taxis.
- Transport: For a group of 4 luxury travelers, hire a private chauffeured Mercedes van for coastal transfers to avoid the stress of narrow roads.
- Reservations: Michelin-starred restaurants and beach clubs (Da Adolfo) must be booked weeks in advance.
- Footwear: Amalfi is vertical. Even for 'full mobility' travelers, non-slip soles are essential for boat decks and stone steps.
