Fabulous Vacation? Amalfi e Sorrento Coast - Mount Faito

Do you dream about a fabulous vacation? Look at this place on a mountain over Amalfi and Sorrento Coast. The mount Monte Faito is very popular and beloved for it's very interesting position that dominates all the Coast from Naples to Amalfi and it's possible to see both gulfs, of Naples and of Salerno from there. And the magic does not finished here because you can see the big islands, too, Capri and Ischia.

You can book a hotel in nearby Castellammare di Stabia and visit Monte Faito with funicular railway in summer or with a bus from Vico Equense all year round.

You will find bars and place to take sunbathe there. You can walk here and there and take some shorts. And you will surely enjoy incredible for it's beauty nature of the place the God choose for Paradise.

You probably know this legend that Jesus Christ went down in Campania, saw the splendid landscapes, and tears droped from His eyes from the strong emotion He felt. This is Paradise, He said. And from His tears grew grapes and was born the most famous local wine "Lacrima Cristi" (Teat of the Christ).

By the way, don't forget the local wines. I advice you Aglianico, but there are Falanghina, Greco di Tufo and the best of the best - Taurasi. For MY taste the white wines are not so nice as red Aglianico, but everybody can find here something for himself. And, the local wines are very rich on minerals, they aare natural bioadditives.

Castellammare is one of the most interesting places not only for it's "strategical position" and interesting museums and excavations. Infact, you have to visit enormous beautiful roman villas S.Marco and Arianna, the biggest open for the visits in Campania, and the archeological museum of Quisisana, royal residence, named so (Here You'll Heal) for it's pure air. This town has about 28 different sources of thermal water. Some of them are open and free, and persons from all the region come to fill infinite bottles with this water that can heal a list of deseases.

So, if you stay in Castellammare during your vacation, you can drink this water different times a day (1 or 2 at least) and this will surely benefit your health.

The excellent strategical position of Castellammare is, as you see on my photos, that it is situated near Vesuvius, Pompei, Herculaneum and near the federal railway line which you can use to go to Salerno, Paestum or other towns.
