Italy
A fine youth hostel. The dorms are well airconditioned, close to the city centre and transport links to places such as Pompeii. The staff are exceptionally helpful and friendly and there's internet facilities, a laundry service and common room for meeting fellow travellers.
The Amalfi coast is stunning... So are the prices of the hotels... If you walk up the steps towards the village on the mountain you will pass a number of farms... With permission you can pitch your tent under the olive groves and have priceless views for a few Euros a night - if you don't mind showering with a hose pipe. There is a piece of 'free land' with a spring that you do not need permission for somewhere up the mountain... good luck!
