Jennifer Lopez filled her solo Italy vacation with delicious bites, dreamy vistas and enviable, luxury accommodations.
Before heading to Paris on Saturday for fashion week, the Atlas star, 54, enjoyed a getaway around Italy’s Amalfi Coast. The trip included days spent lounging on boats off the coast of Positano and Sorrento with friends, enjoying dinner out on the town, and shopping in the popular summer destination’s picturesque villages.
She even chose a stunning home base for the stay, the former villa of a famed Italian director.
Ben Affleck did not join her on the vacation amid what sources have descried as a strain in their marriage. The actor instead remained in L.A. where he recently wrapped filming on The Accountant 2.

STAY: Villa TreVille, Positano
This stunning five-star hotel, whose rooms regularly go for upwards of $2,000 per night, was once the private estate of the renowned Italian director Franco Zeffirelli, and was Lopez’s accommodation of choice for her stay on the Amalfi Coast.
“It’s one of the most luxurious facilities in the world, but at the same time very quiet and private,” local resident and editor of Positano News, Michele Cinque, tells PEOPLE of the all-suite property overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. He adds that Lopez’s stay has been “a quiet vacation, in essence” including strolls through the nearby towns and boat rides between them.
“She seemed really happy, really serene to be where she was,” he adds.

The singer and actress visited La Gavitella, a restaurant and beach club with views over Positano and Capri. She arrived at the restaurant via boat with two friends in the late afternoon, a source tells PEOPLE.
The Delola founder ordered the “chef’s specialty,” linguine with lobster, along with a ginger ale. “She was relaxed. She ordered, spoke and laughed with her friends,” says the source.

SHOP: Antica Sartoria, Sorrento
The star did some clothes shopping at this local spot, whose name means “antique tailoring” in Italian, and “bought a traditional local dress,” an employee said.
After the purchase, the shopkeeper renamed the dress in her honor, calling it “the Jennifer Lopez.” “It’s already becoming a summer trend,” the employee said. “People are constantly asking for it.”
Lopez didn’t just shop in the store, she also busted a move or two. “When she heard music by Geolier [an Italian rapper] being played, she started dancing,” the employee said. “You could tell she was happy as she was all smiles.”
Lopez was spotted dining out at this Amalfi Coast institution, which sits on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Marina del Cantone and serves fresh local seafood, like octopus and sautéed clams, and traditional antipasti.In photos published by Daily Mail, she’s seen seated at an outdoor table with a friend.
The This Is Me . . . Now star is far from the only celebrity to have stopped by the eatery. David Beckham, Oprah and Rihanna all reportedly count it among their favorites in the region.
Lopez has previously visited as well. She dined with Affleck at the restaurant in 2021, when the couple were spotted cuddled up with the singer in her then-boyfriend’s lap and showing PDA.

EXPLORE: The Mediterranean by Boat
It’s not an Amalfi Coast vacation without a little time at sea, and Lopez enjoyed at least two boat days during her trip. She was spotted boarding a motor boat with friends in Sorrento on June 18, sporting a cream-colored bandeau top, coordinating multicolored shorts and gold peep-toe heels.
On a separate excursion in Positano, the star was snapped navigating a rocky seaside path to board a dinghy that brought her to a larger vessel, where she and her companions laid in the sun, snapped photos and sipped champagne.
