Lemon and olive groves cling to cliffs, pastel-hued villages seem to tumble gracefully to the sea which shimmers in a tapestry of brilliant blues, Capri beckons in the distance and majestic Mount Vesuvius dominates the horizon – a constant reminder that beauty here has always come with a little drama.
