Language: Italian. English is widely spoken in tourism.
Timezone: CET (UTC+1, UTC+2 in summer)
Current trends: Positano and Ravello continue to anchor the Amalfi Coast's ultra-luxury identity, with Le Sirenuse's Michelin-starred, candlelit La Sponda and Belmond Hotel Caruso's cliff-pouring infinity pool remaining the coast's most photographed and sought-after experiences, while family-owned properties like Le Sirenuse (since 1951) continue to be valued for generational hospitality over larger chain-hotel service.
