Villa San Michele

The Amalfi Coast may be known for luxury, but there’s a secret side where style and setting don’t have to cost the earth. In Amalfi town, characterful B&Bs sit just behind the cathedral, with tiled bathrooms, arty accents and rooftop terraces made for lingering breakfasts. Along Positano’s steep lanes, romantic hideaways and sea-facing balconies give you those Instagrammable views — minus the designer price tags. Ravello offers garden breakfasts and cliffside stays with private sea ladders, while Praiano is a quieter gem, home to stylish little hotels where the sunsets are as dazzling as the décor. Even the coastal road west hides retro boltholes with old-school charm and knockout views. Whether you’re after ceramic-tiled rooms, a peaceful poolside perch or a bite of freshly grilled fish by the water, there’s a treasure trove of great value hotels on the Amalfi Coast waiting to be discovered — each one proof that you don’t need to splash out to soak up la dolce vita.
