Minori



A wonderful seaside resort on the Amalfi coast, crisscrossed by narrow paths and steps that make Minori is simply enchanting. A little charming town which keeps the marks of its antique civilisation with its splendid Villa Romana, famous for its beauty and art.
The Maritime Villa is a precious archeological site of the first century AD and is full of luxury rooms with mosaics, frescoes and stucco. From 987 to 1818 Minori was an episcopal see for the veneration of Saint Trofimena that is the Patron Saint of Minori.
In the past centuries the cultivation of lemons (on the typical terraces built with dry stone walls), paper processing mills and the production of pasta gave birth to a flourishing trade with foreign countries. Today, the handicraft, the handmade pasta, the lemon liqueur, the pastry related made with the “sfusato of Amalfi” enrich the touristic attractions of Minori.

For the last 13 years, Minori has been developing, not only for its wonderful scenery and its evocative monuments, but also because of the media attention about an event which directly involves one of the most important aspects of life in this community: food. It is a spectacular event, which is held every year and lasts a whole week. It relives the flavours of the very foundations of the food culture in this town. The event is called Gusta Minori (A Taste of Minori) and is a real blend of art, culture, theatre, and cuisine. It promotes local the products using music and several shows. The “City of Taste“, asit was defined on the 9th of June 2002 in the presence of Nobel prize winner Dereck Walcott, is about art, folklore, scenery and a series of events, that can be a true theme for any vacation in this town. Visitors can feed their eyes and mind, they can discover mind blowing foods, wine, provided by people who really understand how to spoil their guests. Minori is a little diamond of the Amalfi Coast. It is a must.
