Considering the Hotel La Pergola in Amalfi?

The hills....astonishing! by Pawtuxet
Astonishing isn't the word for it. The architecture here is incomparable to anything I've ever seen before. How did they get equipment INTO the hillsides to build these buildings? Everything is literally clutching the mountain side...hanging on to the rock for dear life. I clasped the car door as we rounded the corners and looked over the edge.....totally awestruck by the way these houses are stacked against the cliffs...end to end. I guess they all love the views so much they are willing to forfeit having any land around their house. Some of the houses appear to be little clay blocks clustered together in groups which viewed at a distance could be mistaken for the mountain itself. Unbelievable.
