The azure waters of Italy's remarkable Amalfi Coast. This week's featured auction is a three-night stay in Ravello's Palazzo Sasso (a $4,150 value) for an opening bid of $1,245.

From the Harper Collection: This refined 12th-century villa sits amid lush terraced gardens on a breathtaking ridge 1,100 feet above the sea in Ravello. Contemporary public areas include a variety of scenic terraces, a lounge/cafébar and Rossellinis gourmet restaurant for indoor/outdoor dining. Very few of the 43 well-equipped and antique-filled accommodations possess balconies, the exceptions being Room #309 and the five suites (corner Junior Suite #201 being especially nice). Marble baths have large whirlpool tubs. Amenities include a panoramic outdoor swimming pool, a solarium, a small spa/fitness salon and a rooftop terrace with plunge pool and Jacuzzi. Closed mid-October to March.
