A salted breeze pushes inland as the van eases along the Amalfi Drive, cliffs sliding by in layered stone and citrus groves. By late afternoon the sea takes on a slow burn; the terrace in Praiano faces west, a natural stage where the sun lowers behind Positano’s stacked houses and the Mediterranean reflects it back in quicksilver.
