Our story

A lemon tree in New Jersey

Giulia grew up in Montclair under a lemon tree her nonna carried over from Campania as a cutting and kept alive through forty winters in a pot by the kitchen door. Ben met the tree before he met most of the family.

The wrong ferry

On their first trip to Italy, in 2023, they boarded the wrong ferry in Sorrento and got off in Positano by mistake. They stayed four days, mostly under one yellow umbrella at a beach club at the end of the bay.

The same umbrella

Two summers later Ben booked the same umbrella, the same two sunbeds and a bottle of limoncello, and asked before the ice had melted. Nonna Rosaria says she knew in Sorrento.

Wedding party

  • Chiara Romano

    Maid of Honor

    Giulia’s sister. Keeper of the family lemon tree.

  • Will Carter

    Best Man

    Ben’s brother. Has promised a toast under four minutes.

  • Francesca Bellini

    Bridesmaid

    Giulia’s cousin from Salerno, and our translator.

  • Sam Whitfield

    Groomsman

    Ben’s roommate from Boston. Was on the wrong ferry too.

Travel & stay

Where to stay

Airports

  • NAP Naples International Airport about 1 hour 30 minutes
  • QSR Salerno Costa d’Amalfi Airport about 1 hour 20 minutes
  • FCO Rome Fiumicino Airport about 3 hours 30 minutes

Getting around

Positano is built on a cliff: most of it is stairs. A boat shuttle runs between the main pier and the beach club every twenty minutes on Friday evening and all day Saturday. From Naples, a private transfer is the easiest way in; in summer, ferries also run from Naples, Sorrento and Salerno.

Good to know

Mid-June is warm and dry: around 80°F by day and 68°F after dark. US passports need six months of validity. Cards are accepted almost everywhere; bring a few euros in cash for the bus and the beach.

Things to do

  • The Path of the Gods A cliff-top walk from Bomerano down to Nocelle, about three hours, best started early.
  • A day in Capri Forty minutes by ferry from the main pier. Go on Thursday or Monday, not on our Saturday.
  • Ravello Two gardens on a hilltop above Amalfi, and the quietest lunch on the coast.

Questions

Yes, to everything. Saturday dinner runs late, and the beach club can arrange a sitter at the hotel from eight.

Your reply form shows how many seats we have saved for you.

Summer cocktail for Saturday, linen and sandals the rest of the time. The terrace is tiled and the deck is wooden, so flat or block heels.

The boat shuttle and the terrace are step-free, and there is a lift from the jetty. The town itself is steep: tell us in your reply and we will arrange a porter and a car to the pier.

June rain is rare and short. The terrace has a covered loggia that seats everyone, and the umbrellas are not only for show.

Coming all this way is the gift. If you would like to do more, the links are below.
