Best Maiori holiday apartments

People have been coming to Maiori for their holidays since Roman times – and looking at the town it is not hard to see what attracts them. Located on a bay cupped between the slopes of pine-clad mountains, this jewel on Italy’s Amalfi Coast is a cluster of brightly painted houses and villas that seem to tumble down to the sea. The beach is the longest on the Amalfi coastline, a beautiful arc of white sand beside a clear, turquoise sea. It is busy, especially in the summer, but that doesn’t mean you have to join the tourist throng to enjoy it. With 9flats you can rent a private holiday apartment in Maiori and experience life the way the locals do

Get the inside track from a holiday apartment in Maiori

It’s a similar arrangement to couchsurfing in Maiori in that you get an insider’s view of the places most tourists are unlikely to find. The difference, however, is your 9flats accommodation will be for your own exclusive use. 9flats makes it possible to travel the world independently and in comfort, whether it is in a holiday apartment in Toronto or a vacation home in Tokyo. From the personalised comfort of a holiday flat in Maiori the full range of sights and experiences offered by this beautiful seaside town are there for the taking – beach life, shopping, historic monuments and the great outdoors.

Your spot in the sun with a Maiori holiday flat

Most of Maiori’s main beach is zoned into private concessions where you pay for your spot in the sun. The plus side of this is it is less crowded than the free zones and you get the convenience of waiter service to your sunbed and parasol. For more secluded beaches the best bet is to take a boat trip to one of the coves along the coast such as Spiaggia del Cavallo Moroto (dead horse’s beach). When things cool down in the evenings take a walk from your Maiori holiday home through the maze of lanes in the old town, packed full of little shops and stalls selling everything from leather sandals to local liqueurs. The best sights in the town are provided by nature but there are some buildings worth visiting, particularly the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria a Mare with its dome of coloured tiles that sits like a crown above the town. The best views are to be had from the top of nearby Mount Falerzio, the highest peak on the Amalfi Coast.

Get a taste of Italy with a holiday home on the Amalfi Coast

One thing you are unlikely to do much of in a vacation home on the Amalfi Coast is cook. Food is very important here and there are many great restaurants offering fresh local seafood and produce. It is a tradition found throughout the region, whether you are staying in a holiday apartment in Naples or a vacation home in Salerno. With 9flats you’ll get the true taste of Italy.
