LA VITA VERA
A Homecoming on the
Amalfi Coast
September 28th - 5th October 2026
Seven women. One table.
Seven nights in Ravello, welcomed into the Amalfi Coast through my family.
“Bentornata. Il mare ti ha tenuto il posto”
Welcome back. The sea has kept a place for you
An Invitation
Vita Vera is a week of quiet arrival.
Echoes of bells in the morning.
Warm stone underfoot.
Lemon terraces lifting their perfume on the air.
A table where time loosens, plates keep coming, conversation deepens, and nothing is hurried.You arrive, and you are met.
Names are remembered.
Doors open as though you were expected.You take the old steps into Ravello, letting the views meet you slowly.
You spend a morning in Minori among lemon trees with friends, then linger over a long lunch beneath pergolas.
You see the coast by sea with my cousin as captain, slipping between hidden coves as the day unfolds.
You sit at family tables where food is only the beginning.And between everything, there is room.
For beauty to land.
For your own story to surface, in its own time.A private Ravello villa, held with return transfers from Naples, daily breakfast, and a small rhythm of hosted tables throughout the week. Hosted in English, with Italian moments translated.
Everything is held: logistics, pacing, translation. You can simply arrive.
“Questa costa non ti fa visita. Ti riconosce, ti prende per mano e non ti lascia più”
This coast doesn’t just visit you. It recognises you, takes you by the hand, and never lets you go
My Story
My name is Mariangela.
I grew up between England and Minori, two languages, two lives, one heart, shaped by the coast.
Vita Vera comes from my family’s life here: the lemon terraces we return to, the tables that still make space, and the quiet recognitions that turn a beautiful place into a place that holds you.
I created this week so seven women can feel what I felt when the coast opens its arms: light on stone, salt in the air, laughter at the table, and a sense of belonging.
Some places stay with you.
This one does.
She wouldn’t leave me alone on the Cathedral steps. That’s when the Coast whispered:
“Welcome home.”
The Homecoming, gently unfolded
September 28th - 5th October 2026
Monday
Arrive, settle into the villa, and share our first dinner together.
Tuesday
Ravello in the morning: gardens, ancient stone, and air that feels impossibly clear. An afternoon at the villa to let it all land. In the evening, a long local dinner in the hills.
Wednesday
Down to Minori. A morning on lemon terraces with friends, followed by a long lunch under pergolas. Later, we create a small tradition which we enjoy together on the final night.
Thursday
A full day at sea with my cousin as captain: hidden coves, the fjord, salt on skin, and the ease of being carried by the day.
Friday
A morning in Minori, where the coast becomes everyday life.
You wander, you pause, and you’re gathered later at a table locals return to.
Saturday
A villa day, softly held. Swim, rest, wander, or do nothing at all. Olive oil in the garden. In the evening, candlelight, stories, and songs from someone the coast knows by name.
Sunday
Up into the Tramonti hills for old vines, rare local wines, and a slow lunch with the people who make them. Back to Ravello for a final dinner and music beneath the stars.
Monday
Breakfast, farewells, and private transfers back to Naples.
Seven days. One table.
