No idea about the details, and never been there, but Sapri has nothing
to do with Amalfi. The Amalfi Coast is the southern shore of the
Penisola Sorrentina, a small peninsula between Naples and Salerno.
Sapri (renowned in Italy for a poem about the expedition of Carlo
Pisacane in our XIX century "Risorgimento" "they were 300, young and
strong ... and are dead") is located at the extreme south of Campania,
towards the border with Calabria (and Basilicata, there is a very short
stretch of the coast belonging to Basilicata).
So the nearest airports may be Naples or Lamezia.
You should get at least a road map with Google maps asking for Sapri (it
used to have also a satellite map, but what I get now with my Firefox
browser is just a road map, and a notice "browser partially supported",
I hate these microsoftish things).

Tropical definitely no, and never nowhere in Italy. I do not know the
area, but I expect it to be relatively warm (warmer than the north),
although with current seasons one can never know ... if it gets cold
(and there are mountains nearby) in the south it can be annoying because
houses are under-heated there.
