Beach week in Italy in high season

Keeping the original request for posterity, we've changed our location preferences. Recognizing that the first half of August is one of the worst times to go to Italy, we are a bit pressed for choice, so would like to make the most of it. So now we are looking for the best available and least crowded option within, let's say, a five-hour drive from Milan.

Related to this thread, my wife and I (both thirtysomethings) are looking for a good place in the Amalfi region to spend a week. My wife has been to Naples before, but a very long time ago and on a shoestring budget, so we are pretty much total newbies to the area, though we've been to Italy before, numerous times. As we've had a really busy year, we are not looking for much by way of sightseeing, but do want to find a nice, relatively quiet (we aren't the night life types) place to enjoy a week on the beach without going broke. Nice beaches and nature walks, a drive on S163 (iir the number c) and good food are all we're really after. Our budget is around 150 euro/night (ideally less) and we've got a bunch of points accumulated at all the major chains (though I don't think they will help us much). Any and all ideas will be heartily appreciated!
