LA VITA VERA

A Homecoming on the

Amalfi Coast

September 28th - 5th October 2026

Seven women. One table.

Seven nights in the place that my family still calls home.

A Homecoming.

An outdoor dining setup with a long table covered with a white tablecloth, set for a meal with dishes, glasses, and fruit. Large umbrellas provide shade, and there are cozy cabana-style structures draped with white curtains in the background. The area is surrounded by lush greenery and flowering plants.
A woman with long dark hair in a ponytail, seen from behind, gazes at the amalfi coast landscape with tall cypress trees, hillside buildings, mountains, and a calm blue sea on a clear day. this is Minori.

«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’re welcomed properly.
Introduced gently.
Brought into a coastline where people are welcoming.

You’ll take the old steps into Ravello, letting the views meet you slowly.
You’ll spend a morning in Minori among lemon trees with friends, then linger over a long lunch beneath pergolas.
You’ll see the coast by sea with my cousin as captain, slipping between hidden coves and quiet beauty as the day unfolds.
You’ll sit at family tables where the food is only half of what’s being offered.

And between everything, space.
For the beauty to land.
And,
For your own story to surface, in its own time.


Join the Table
The Amalfi Coast from Ravello nestled on green hills with terraced farmland, a church with a bell tower, and a view of the sea with waves and rocky cliffs, under a partly cloudy sky.

«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 people who greet you as one of their own.

I composed 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 will.

A coastal scene showing a beach with dark sand, turquoise waters, and waves. Behind the beach, there are colorful buildings along the shoreline, and a hillside with houses and greenery rising in the background under cloudy skies.
A woman wearing large sunglasses, a striped shirt, and a patterned scarf, smiling, with a white cat with some brown markings resting against her chest, outdoors in front of a white building with a decorative window.
Scenic view of the rolling hills of Lancaster and the Lake District mountains in the distance with a lush green field in the foreground, partly cloudy sky.

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 of mine, followed by a long lunch under pergolas. Later, we begin something together that we open on the final night.

Thursday

A full day at sea with my cousin as captain. Hidden coves, the fjord, salt on skin, and the kind of timing you can’t buy

Friday

A morning at a legendary family table, hosted the way the coast hosts its own. You watch, taste, listen. You leave changed.

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.

Ravello/Minori base · 7 women · private villa · breakfasts included · key hosted lunches and dinners · private transfers from Naples included · gentle walking/steps · English-hosted with Italian moments translated · full details shared privately after enquiry · hosted by Mariangela (UK/Italian roots).

Seven days. One table.

A week that stays.

The circle is small.

Seven places only.
