COOKING CLASS ON THE AMALFI COAST
Our cooking class on the Amalfi Coast is in the hands of a unique and passionate woman: grandma Margherita! The charm of this event dates back to the 1960s, when Margherita, returning from New York after a few years of immigration, managed to pass on her culinary secrets with her first restaurant: the Beach Bar, located on Positano’s beach.

Her verve, mixed with a contagious sympathy, always discreet and elegant, makes her a smiling presence that interacts with the guests by showing off her English and transmitting her love for the food creation, inside the ancient family tower.

Even if Margherita’s role at the Beach Bar was taking care of customers and hospitality, she often ended up cooking, because she didn’t lack the skills and, taking advantage of the advice of her mother Anna, she prepared traditional Mediterranean dishes and delicacies such as the homemade tagliatelle.

The Hotel Margherita was founded in 1971. The year is the one that marks also the birth of Margherita’s second daughter, Suela, that today welcomes all the guests with a smile, at the front desk of the hotel.

Today, in our hotel in Praiano, the cooking class of grandma Margherita is a tale of the soul, in which thoughts and words merge with different cultures and with the precious suggestions to recreate the experience of the dishes of the Amalfi Coast.

AMALFI COAST LEMON TOUR
One of the most beautiful experiences on the Amalfi Coast is born under the sign of citrus fruit, in particular, of lemon. During your stay in our hotel in Praiano, you will be able to take part to one of the most exciting food and wine experiences on the Amalfi Coast: the Lemon Tour in the properties of Salvatore Aceto.

What we offer is to start your journey from Piazza del Duomo of Amalfi, walk through the historic centre and pass by the ancient walls of the city, arriving to the Museum of Paper, continuing till the Valle dei Mulini.

In a relaxing and suggestive atmosphere, step by step you will earn your access to the lemon grove of the Aceto Family, through a stone path that will show you the magnificent land terracing hosting old gardens of ancient trees.

Here, thanks to the peculiar climate and weather that invariably benefit the hills of the Coast, grows the “Sfusato Amalfitano”, the lemon of the Amalfi Coast, protected by the PGI mark, real jewel of our land.

In a shaded area, you will be able to refresh with lemon desserts, citrus fruit salads and thirst-quenching drinks, directly produced by the Aceto Family, whose past and present generations have secured with passion the secret for this kind of cultivation.

After stopping by the interesting Museum of the Civiltà Contadina (farmer civilization), our Lemon Tour ends with a look into what the production of Limoncello is like- liqueur famous all over the world, which Amalfi Coast flavours have no rivals – and with a delicious tasting of typical products, that you can of course decide to buy at the end of your experience.

PRAIANO & THE AMALFI COAST
Hotel Margherita is the ideal hotel on the Amalfi Coast for an evocative and romantic holiday of pleasure, where all the wonders of our prestigious coast are at your fingertips. Our hotel is located in an enchanting position: in the heart of Praiano, on the Amalfi Coast, overlooking the sea and with a spectacular view that goes from Capri to Positano and Amalfi.

The ideal place for a vacation filled with relaxation, sea, good cooking but also with excursions discovering the lands and the seas of mythical Mermaids, of Positano fashion, art and history of Amalfi.

Those wishing to go to the beach or discover the green hills filled with Mediterranean vegetation, citrus and olive trees, characteristic trails, picturesque votive aedicules of Praiano and breathtaking landscapes from the viewpoint of Vettica Maggiore, may set out towards the trails that take to the most striking places in the surrounding areas.

THE ITINERARIES OF PRAIANO NATURARTE
A holiday in Praiano combining art, nature and history. Part of the beauty of the Amalfi Coast lies in the itineraries that it provides to its visitors, paths and streets along the sea, which from the beach stretch out up to the coast, offering you a holiday in Praiano made of images and sensations that are difficult to describe with words.

From spring 2016 these itineraries have been enhanced even further by the project Praiano NaturArte, that has made them even more evocative by placing works of the major local artists along the way.

Located in the context and landscape of the town in such a way to evoke traditions, values and local legends, these potteries, paintings and sculptures form a real open air exhibition where nature and art meet to be enjoyed by everyone, out of the restricted space of a museum.

Walking around Praiano, enjoying her natural beauties, becomes even more appealing and it is not a coincidence that the eight itineraries involved in this project recall the amazing Park Güell by Antonio Gaudí.

Paolo Sandulli, Francesco Mao Mangieri, Patrizia Marchi and many others will guide you through a journey to discover Praiano, enhancing it and revealing the very soul of the place that you chose for your holidays!

FROM OUR HOTEL TO CAPRI’S BOAT TOUR!
To the guests of Hotel Margherita, we give the possibility to live a unique experience: Capri’s boat tour, on a traditional “gozzo” of the Coast, complete with private toilet, shower and changing room.

From our hotel in Praiano, leaves the boat tour of Capri, a dreamy trip during your vacation on the Amalfi Coast, that mixes the deep blue of the sea and the amazing view of the Coast, from a fascinating and unusual perspective.

During the journey you will dive into the same panorama that everyday makes the hearts of Praiano’s fishermen sing, protagonist of this sea area facing Capri and its cliffs, the “Faraglioni”.

Destination of all the free spirit – open minded people, Capri has always had an incredible charm, like in the past, when it was often elected summer residence by the Roman Emperors – it is not by chance that it is called “Tiberius’ Island”- that enjoyed its unspoiled nature and the perfumes of a surprising vegetation.

The perfect combination of rock, sea and the warm welcome of its inhabitants, is what made of Capri such an important stop for the wealthy families of the XIX century, that were used to include Capri in their Grand Tour.

For scholars, poets or musicians looking for inspiration, the Island of Capri was the perfect muse, rich of history and culture and of the mythological image of Ulysses, that here encountered the famous siren song, without falling for it, like many others in the nearby archipelago of Li Galli.

Our tour starts in Marina di Praia at 9 am, going to Punta Campanella, stepping by Li Galli to reach Capri; then from here, you will visit the Grotta Bianca, the natural arc of Villa di Malaparte, one of the most seducing and mysterious places of the island, that precedes the arrival to the awesome Faraglioni.

After admiring the magnificence of the Faraglioni, you will go to Marina Piccola, where as well as bathing, you will discover the marvels of the Grotta Verde, and of the more famous Grotta Azzurra, a fairy-tale cave in the rock, characterized by incredible colours and nuances.

From here you can take the famous funicular to reach the main square and decide if to go shopping or visit Villa Tiberio, or just keep on going and visit the Borgo di Anacapri.

The tour then involves a relaxing stop of a couple of hours in Marina Grande, the port of Capri, to visit the Island: from here it is possible to take the funicular and reach the main square, deciding if to go shopping, see Villa Tiberio or visit Anacapri.

Then you will go back to Praiano, but will still be able to go again swimming in the clean water of the Coast, go snorkelling, and relax before the evening. You will be back at 5.30 pm, right on time to enjoy a delicious aperitif looking at the sunset.
