About the Experience
The charming accommodation villais near the Amalfi Coast town of Maiori, famous for having one of the largest and most beautiful sandy beaches along the famed coast. This spacious, stylish, stone-built villa accommodation near Amalfi sits in a sunny position, tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, with breathtaking views of the sea and the coastline. This Amalfi Coast villa is secluded, yet still within easy reach of the many nearby villages, and so it makes a perfect hideaway for those who seek both privacy and proximity to the local activities.
Location
The villa is located outside of the small town of Maiori on the Amalfi Coast. Maiori offers all basic facilities, including restaurants, shops, banks, bars, and a post office. There is bus stop (SITA BUS) 100 meters from the gate of the villa that provides service to Maiori, Amalfi, Positano, and Sorrento. Ferries and hydrofoils offer daily service (in April - October) from Minori to Amalfi (10 minutes), Capri (1½ hours), Positano (20 minutes), Ischia (2½ hours), and Salerno (1 hour). Blue SITA busses cost about 1-2 euros, depending on destination. Stops are marked with a blue and white SITA sign. The small internal bus (orange mini-bus) of Positano is marked by a brown FERMATA sign. Driving times are: Ravello to Amalfi, 15 minutes; Amalfi to Positano, 30 minutes; Positano to Sorrento, 35 minutes.

From the parking area, guests enter the paved terrace, which has an attractive, completely private, sea-water swimming pool.
