April is when the Amalfi Coast shakes off winter. 14–20°C, wisteria cascading down every pergola, most restaurants re-opening after winter closure, and hotel prices 40–60% below summer peaks.
Plan this trip →14–20°C daytime. Cool evenings (jacket needed). Rain possible (6–7 rainy days average). Sea 16–18°C — too cold for most swimmers. Clear days offer the sharpest coastal views of the year (no summer haze).
Most hotels and restaurants reopen by Easter (or early April). Ravello: Villa Rufolo gardens in bloom. Positano: the terraces re-open, cafes fill. Path of the Gods: ideal hiking temperature (in summer it’s brutally hot). Ferries from Salerno and Naples running but reduced frequency.
Some smaller hotels and restaurants stay closed until May. Beach clubs not yet set up. Capri ferries running but not at summer frequency.
Shoulder. Positano hotels €100–200/night (vs. €200–400 in July). Amalfi town €80–150. Book 4–6 weeks ahead. Best value month for the coast.
