We spent one week at this holiday apartment and were greeted by Matilda, the owner's daughter. Matilda's english was very good and we appreciated her help. Anna Maria and Roberto were gracious hosts, we were also treated to fresh vegtables from the garden by grandpa! The apartment inside was very spacious and clean! With the exception of the shower, which is very tiny about 2'X2', unfortunately there were no lounge chairs, as the listing states, which made sitting on plastic chairs in the afternoons not very comfortable.
We spent a lot of time on the terrace, which has a restricted view of the port of Amalfi by a Hydro tower, shed roof and grape vines. There is also a house in front of the building with a water tank and a turbine vent on top of the roof which you have a full view of. The pictures in the listing do not reflect the true view, I would recommed that they be updated, however it is still very nice.
There are 26 stairs to the "street" and 80 large scales, plus some incline without stairs, so it is a difficult climb up from the apartment. I would not recommend it for elderly people or families with small children, and you better not have a lot of luggage (as we did).
The parking that is "included" is on the street, which is fairly quiet, but there is opportunity for secure parking for 30 euros per week, which we prefered.
We found driving on the coast very "Italian", being from Canada we decided to take the bus. The bus stop is about 300 meters down the hill,(after all the stairs) and runs very sparsly, the last bus going down around 2:00pm and last coming up at 7:00pm.
There are no grocery stores near by, only a fruit warehouse where in the evening you can by fruits and vegetables for a great price.
If you drive, the location is good, close to all the Amalfi towns that you will want to visit.
Thank you for your hospitality in your beautiful country!
