Amalfi Coast, Italy
The summer crowds are gone, but the epic sunsets remain over the Amalfi Coast and Tyrrhenian Sea. During October and November, guests and families enjoy dry weather, empty beaches and impossibly beautiful views. Check-in with the family to Casa Angelina and enjoy full access to the beach below, La Gavitella.
Head down to the beach by an elevator and step combo and enjoy some of the only full sunset views along the coastline. With the Casa Angelina’s end-of-season deal, families and guests enjoy 20 percent off room rates, free breakfast and $58 credits to the spa.

Sitting along Lake Spenard’s shore, guests head off on glacier tours and wildlife expeditions all season long.
