Netflix’s thrilling new series, Ripley, starring Andrew Scott, has captured the heart of the nation and is earning high praise amongst critics too. The eight-part miniseries lures fans in with a gripping plot and dramatic film-noir aesthetic, but it is the breathtaking backdrop that leaves a lasting impression.
Ripley offers a peek into some of the lesser-known cliffside spots on Italy’s iconic coastline, including the small city of Atrani. The cobbled Atrani streets and quaint trattorias as seen on the show are helping to inspire a rise in travellers looking to experience the beautiful scenery for themselves, while avoiding the crowds of more popular Amalfi Coast hotspots.
Since Ripley aired, Airbnb saw a 93 percent* increase in bookings in Ravello, a city less than 15 minutes away from Atrani. Minori, another lesser known spot on the Italian coast, just 8 minutes away from Atrani, has seen a similar effect – with bookings increasing YoY by 62 percent** on the weekend of Ripley’s release.
To provide ultimate inspiration for a Ripley-inspired getaway, Airbnb has compiled a selection of Guest Favourite stays in hidden spots along the Amalfi Coastline, including the filming location of Atrani itself. From a picturesque ancient monastery to a tranquil lemon grove, stays are all available to book on Airbnb.
Amanda Cupples, General Manager for the UK and Northern Europe at Airbnb, said: “It’s no surprise that a show as visually spectacular as Ripley is inspiring viewers to explore the Amalfi Coast for their next getaway. As it spotlights a lesser known Italian city of Atrani, this is showing travellers that they can avoid the crowds, while simultaneously quenching their Ripley wanderlust. Our list of awe-inspiring Ripley-inspired Airbnbs provide guests with unforgettable travel experiences, where they can mirror the sleepy-summer approach to holidaying that’s seen in the show.”
