Linda,<BR>I suggest you hotel Miramare in Maiori. It cannot be on the beach because there is the road but it is just on the opposite site of the road and has its related beach. As your period is September, it should be very good for your child and your budget.<BR>Have a nice trip.

Do you have to stay in Ravello? It is a pretty boring place and we looked at lots of hotels and found it hard to find a nice one when we got there. It seems to me that the Italian hotels are mostly stuck in a bit of a 60s time warp and most of the ones we stayed in needed a good makeover - France on the other hand was full of quaint and interesting little places to stay - I guess it all depends on how much you have to spend on accomodation. A word of warning when grabbing a cab in Italy - the flagfall is about $9US evcen if you travel one mile (it happened to me in Sorrento - I could see the hotel in the distance but my legs would carry me no further - It was nearly $20 AUS for that bit of laziness - enjoy your trip - Gabrielle

Last September I stayed at the Hotel Buca di Bacco in Positano (www.bucadibacco.it/welcomeing.htm). Very nice hotel, excellant breakfast and we liked the location because it was right on the beach. No need to take a bus or hike to the beach like so many other hotels (which I understand are quite nice) in the hills of the Amalfi coast. It cost approximately $180 USD per night at the time. We had a beautiful room with a terrace and a view of the sea (which we had to request).<BR><BR>It is a beautiful area--enjoy! <BR>CB

Hi Linda - we're looking into this place with our family. Looks lovely but I don't have personal experience with it.<BR><BR>http://www.initaly.com/agri/beach/beach.htm
