Pontone, a district of the municipality of Scala, is a medieval village perched between the sky and the sea, surrounded by a landscape of exceptional beauty. Its cobblestone streets, stairways, and flower-filled squares lead to scenic viewpoints that overlook the Amalfi Coast, providing breathtaking views of Amalfi, Ravello, and the Gulf of Salerno. The village retains an authentic and serene atmosphere, away from mass tourism, making it an ideal starting point for those who enjoy exploring the history and nature of the area.
Just a few minutes away is Amalfi, an ancient maritime republic, known for its famous Cathedral of St. Andrew, cloisters, and lively streets filled with shops and historic cafés. Close by is Ravello, an elegant destination renowned for the gardens of Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone, which offer stunning vistas and host internationally acclaimed cultural events.
Pontone also serves as a gateway to the Valle delle Ferriere Nature Reserve, a protected area featuring waterfalls, streams, and lush vegetation, home to the extremely rare Woodwardia Radicans fern, which survived the ice age. Hiking enthusiasts can traverse trails that wind through ancient paper mills, watermills, and terraced lemon groves, enveloped in an atmosphere of timeless charm.
Its strategic location allows for day trips to other highly interesting destinations such as Positano, Conca dei Marini, Cetara, and Vietri sul Mare, as well as historical and archaeological sites like Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Paestum. During the summer, ferry connections from the nearby port of Amalfi provide access to Capri, Ischia, and Sorrento, offering even more opportunities for exploration.
