Monte Faito

Above Castellammare to the southeast is the beautiful park of the Villa Quisisana ("Here you recover your health"); the house is at the southeast end of the park. From here there is an attractive drive (12km/7mi; also cableway) up Monte Faito (1,131m/3,732ft; view), to the south. Beyond Castellammare the Amalfi road runs close to the coast again, affording magnificent views of the Bay of Naples, Vesuvius and the steep rock coast of the Sorrento peninsula.
