Meet Antonio: The Core of Santa Maria dei Monti

Antonio doesn’t call himself a guide. He’s just a man from Scala who’s been walking the mountain trails since he was a kid, long before GPS or hiking apps made them trendy. He’s not loud, not showy. He speaks with purpose, walks at his own pace, and knows every tree, stone, and breeze on the way to Santa Maria dei Monti, a quiet old hermitage tucked into the hills above Scala. The place had always been there—locals knew it, but for years, no one really went. It was Antonio who, with sacrifice and strenght started giving the shelter a new life. A simple hike. A view that clears your mind. A place that doesn’t need many words. Now, those who come to Santa Maria dei Monti don’t just visit a forgotten spot, they get a piece of the mountain as Antonio sees it: raw, honest, and deeply beautiful.

Steps Through Time – From Maiori to the Castle, with a Taste of Novella

Some paths aren’t just trails they’re time machines. This experience begins in the heart of Maiori, you’ll hike gently upward through the old borgo, following stone steps and shaded terraces. At the top: the ruins of Thoroplano Castle, once a watchful guardian over these lands, last defense of the Amalfi Duchy. The view is breathtaking sea, sky, and silence. But the day doesn’t end at the top. After the descent, a private transfer brings you to Novella, a peaceful inland hamlet untouched by crowds. There, among lemon trees or under a chestnut grove, a locally-prepared picnic lunch awaits: homemade bread, garden vegetables, cheese, salumi, wine, and of course, limoncello. It’s a journey of taste, tradition, and tranquility.
