 What would I do in Naples and Amalfi without it!! July 5, 2009

We followed most of the recommendations and guides and spent wonderful 10 days. We stayed in Hotel Amalfi in Amalfi which was recommended in the book and we loved it!!We chose amongst the restaurants and everone was fine!! We loved Emilia in Sorrento, Pasticceria Scaturchio,del Presidente in Naples,Grotele in Capri. We could't find them without the book.
In La Rondinella in Anacapri there was no pizza for lunch and we were dissapointed because we came all the way to have lunch there.
I have one complaint! My husband and I are 65 years old and we took the trail from Ravello to Minori which was mentioned as 1/2 hours. It was a very long steps..steps..and steps trail that it took us 2 hours.
Also for Villa Jovis in Capri you CANNOT take a taxi. You have to walk a steep long walk.
 A page turner. August 10, 2010

On flipping through the book I was initially put off by the standard of hotel labeled as "budget". 100 to 150 euros per night was regarded as "inexpensive". I'm used to paying half that for comfortable accommodation in minor Italian cities. The Michelin green guides are full of such places. I thought, this is a bit hoity toity, ritzy glitzy for me. I pressed on and was pleasantly surprised. The book was a joy to read. It is beautifully written. I have never read a guide book written with such flair. It was a page turner. It is far more than a collection of practical information. The writers display a great feel and sensitivity for the subject matter, from historical sights to restaurants, to hiking and yes, to the moderately priced hotel in Ravello at a mere 290 euros per night. The title of the book should be Campania, rather than its posh Amalfi Coast rubric. Campania has much to offer the tourist and this book will both inspire and inform. Highly recommended. (What the heck! You can find the real budget rooms online easily enough.)

I bought this book because I have faith in Frommer and it is very current, only published in the last few months. after having look at all the picture books I want some hard facts and that is what Frommer gives me.
