La terrazza sul mare, Vista Mare Sulla Costiera Amalfitana, Amalfi, Trekking
Casa fantastica con la vista sul mare e sulla montagna nella costiera amalfitana, lontano dalla confusione immersa tra le limonaie. Rilassatevi sul terrazzo dopo una giornata a visitare le bellezze della costiera.
Difficult to get to with luggage compared to the average American hotel, but every second lugging the suitcases to this beautiful property was worth it. Communication was made easy and they even coordinated parking in a nearby covered garage. I do not recommend driving here but the stay itself was lovely and very much the highlight of my trip. I recommend this location to those familiar with the coast and wanting to see it a bit more intimately.
Nice quaint property in Vettica, a short bus ride from Amalfi with beautiful beaches. The property is in a great location and has a great outdoor space with lovely ocean views. The bedroom is comfortable and comes with AC. The kitchen is quite small and beneath a slanted roof, so can be fairly claustrophobic. Otherwise, we had a great stay here! Patrizia was a great host.
The property looked exactly like the photos, but honestly the photos didnât do enough justice. This is a PRIME location and definitely an Italian gem. The owners were both extremely responsive and communicative. Their recommendations were great and they definitely were not over exaggerating about all the stairs ( lol ). Overall, an amazing property accompanied by amazing scenery. 10/10, I will be back to this exact spot!
The accomodation was very romantic and clean, and the owner are super helpfull. If you rent a scooter you can get anywhere pretty easily and there is a nice market on top of the stairs. We will definetley come back here!
Good deal - good to familiarize with location ahead of time
This is a great little spot to stay and quite economical. The view is so beautiful and relaxing. Communication with the hosts and instructions on how to check in are perfect and the complete video instructions provided were super helpful. The challenges with this spot are only around the location and the unique place that Amalfi is. Once you know how to use the local bus system, itâs pretty handy, but itâs not easy to get around if you donât know what youâre doing. And to choose this spot (as many spots in Amalfi) you need to be able to handle your share of stairs!Overall it was a great experience!
Great location, close to bus stop with lovely view.
Incredible balcony for an evening wine while watching the sunset
Kitchen bit too cramped to cook, but lots of nice restaurants close by.
If youâre staying at this property in Amalfi, youâre lucky!! Very clean, excellent communication with the host and excellent location. The porch and the view were wonderful - we spent most of our time enjoying the view and the large porch! The kitchen was great to cook in, bedroom very comfortable (AC was a nice benefit!), all the books and help from the host were wonderful. We will be staying here again on our next visit to Amalfi!
Great little spot that is well described. Amalfi has lots of steps and this place has them as well. Take you time and plan and you will be fine. Bus worked well for us and the market was great.
Such a beautiful property - very central to everything, clean, unreal views. Stairs kept us fit and helped offset the pizza and pasta. 10/10 recommend.
This was a cute space with everything you need for a short vacation. We would strongly recommend you rent a scooter if you want to explore other towns. There is a small market, but other than that not as much close by. There are buses, but they fill up quickly and there is a lot of traffic depending on when you go. It is not really walkable due to the narrow streets with cars and buses whizzing by. Once we got our scooter, we felt the location was a nice break from the chaotic, touristy amalfi. The apartment was great except for the mold in the bedroom and the bathroom.
The apt is quaint and equipped with all of the essentials. The air conditioner wasnât nearly powerful enough to cool the apt if this is important to you. Itâs very hot. The owners had someone bring over a large fan which helped circulate air a few days in. They were very accommodating in helping us secure a scooter (which we highly recommend) in order to get around the Amalfi Coast. The views are breathtakingly beautiful and the food is divine to say the least. The apt location is great and close to the market and shopping.
Great retreat from the hussel and bustle of life. Although as stated elsewhere, only for the those in good shape. Lots of steps for every where you go. If you don't like great vistas and great cardio, don't come here and don't complain if you do. Don't expect public transportation as it will take you forever to get around if you do. Walk at least 1000 steps to the beach straight down is nice stone beach with a couple of restaurants and umbrella chairs combos. Down and to the right is a fantastic restaurant called Cielo Mare Terra which will give you a ride back after dinner. The service and food outstanding but charge accordingly for that quality of restaurant.
We enjoyed our stay in this small vacation rental. The views from the outside Terrace are fantastic. Not really any views from the inside . Very convenient to have a little supermarket right at the top of the stairs, as well as the bus stop. I do recommend renting a car or scooter, it is so much easier to get around that way. We were here in July so it was really really hot. The apartment is equipped with everything, with a lot of attention to details. The owner helped us swiftly work out a snafu with the Wi-Fi, thank you again for that. We knew about the stairs, but underestimated it a little bit. So if you don't mind them, this is a great place to stay. Quiet and peaceful at night. The only thing, the beds are really hard. The owner is super nice and was available for any questions and even helped us get a transport on our leaving day to the harbor.
The property description was very accurate and the terrace really is a lovely place to sit and enjoy a leisurely breakfast , lunch or dinner with beautiful views along the coast. Patrizia was always very prompt replying to any queries and the information she provided covering everything from how to reach the apartment to the best beaches was all spot on and incredibly helpful. We used the telephone number she provided to book a private transfer from the airport as we were arriving after public transport had stopped. This was so easy to arrange and our driver was waiting exactly where they said they would be. Nunzia who looks after the apartment was waiting to meet us despite it being nearly midnight and even with the language barrier managed to convey all the essential information about market, buses, beaches and restaurants etc. She is lovely and had even provided us with some drinks, fruit and snacks. We traveled everywhere by bus, boat or foot which is very easy to do. People arenât kidding about the amount of steps, but all that exercise means you can enjoy more lovely Italian food and wine! Great place for exploring the fabulous Amalfi Coast.
The Authentic Amalfi Experience - For Better and Worse
The Pros: - spacious terrace with a beautiful view of the ocean and coastline.
-Beautiful and Quiet area
-Market Nearby
-Spacious apartment with a decent size bathroom
-Kitchen is functional if you choose to cook your own meals.
The Cons:
-It is a workout to get to the front door if you are accessing the apt from the lower road. Lots of steps! If you are not able-bodied enough for a decent hike to get to the unit, you will not have a good time.
-It does not seem safe to walk on the roads (narrow winding cliffside roads, no sidewalks, fast traffic), and there are no restaurants very close, so getting dinner nearby can be a challenge. Also many restaurants within 1km of the apt were inexplicably closed on a Tues/Wed night.
-There is no landline phone in the unit. We were hoping to call a restaurant for food delivery, but that was not an option.
-All the beaches nearby were closed for the season and we were not informed of this.
- Busses can be challenging to navigate from the apt.
- Kitchen ceilings are very low
- Microwave is broken
- There is a Drip Coffee machine, but filters are not available for purchase nearby (we ended up using the Moka)
-Getting a bus back to this area from Amalfi was a sh*t show. Long unorganized lines, packed busses etc.
Overall I'm glad we had the experience, but staying in this area of Amalfi is a logistical challenge. Walkability was really tough w/ narrow roads and lack of nearby restaurants.
