A small but wonderful book that covers the towns perched over the sea including Ravello with its ancient past of nobility, it's caves, famous artists and musicians who stayed there and enchanted gardens, Furore, where Greta Garbo and Anna Magnani had affairs, Positana with the Galli Islands offshore, Sorrento where the mermaids sang to tempt sailors, and Naples - not far from the volcanic Mount Vesuvius and it's magnificent churches. (Be sure to cover your shoulders and knees out of respect while visiting churches.)
You may just want to indulge your mermaid fantasy here.
You may also enjoy Amanda Tabberer's "My Amalfi Coast." Amanda is an Australian who once fell in love and married an Amalfi Coast local.
Both books have some recommendations about best restaurants and in Amanda's case places to stay; she has a business offering rentals. Both books had me ready to go!
