The property is located 600 meters above the beach of Castiglione di Ravello and 800 meters from the small village of Atrani, which is along the coast. Atrani was founded by the ancient Roman aristocracy and was briefly a wealthy residence of some of the most powerful families of Amalfi before being overtaken. In the village center, there is a restaurant, supermarket, bank, and pharmacy as well as two ancient churches. Just outside the main square, near the pharmacy, is bus stop that makes trips to Positano, Sorrento, and Pompeii easy and convenient. For a livelier atmosphere, you'll want to visit Amalfi, which is just over a kilometer away. Dating back to the 6th century, Amalfi was once an important trading center and has historical and medieval architecture throughout the town. The main sites include the Duomo, in Amalfi's center, the cathedral of Sant' Andrea, which dates back to the 11th century, and the Cloister of Paradise. There is also a museum dedicated to the works of Morelli and a museum where you can view artifacts of Amalfi's long and interesting history. During the summer months, there are daily ferries leaving from Amalfi to Capri, Positano, Sorrento, and Naples, although there are always buses connecting the towns along the Amalfi Coast. There is a bus stop 30 meters away for quick trips into Atrani
Please Note: While the Amalfi Coast is beautiful and charming, it is also steep, with many uphill and downhill stairs and walkways. In general, it is an area that is not kind to those of us with knee or mobility issues. This should be considered before booking a property in this area.
