About the Experience
You will adore the original features of this traditional Amalfi Coast vacation villa, 500 meters from the village square of Montepertuso. You'll enjoy the quiet local flavor, very laid back and friendly. Easily accessed public transport will take you anywhere else you want to go on the Amalfi Coast in Italy-- Positano, Sorrento, Amalfi, and beyond. You will also love dining "al fresco" on a terrace with wonderful sea views.
Exterior Description
Typical house newly and tastefully furnished. It has been recently and lovingly renovated with great attention to details and respect for the original structures of the building and materials such as terra-cotta tiles on the floor and solid wooden wardrobes. To access town you must first walk to Montepertuso which is 5 minutes from the property, where you will catch a shuttle bus to Positano center (buses run every hour in July/August, every two hours off-season). The bus from Positano to Montepertuso stops running at 10.00 p.m. A taxi costs about 30 Euros. The pathway from Montepertuso to the property is 500 meters long, uphill, and consists of about 20-25 steps along the way. You'll need to park your car in the piazza in town, and reach the house on foot. Note that there is no parking for a scooter at the property. The scooter must be parked 200 meters from the villa.
Distances: Montepertuso 500 meters, Positano 4km (for further facilities, buses to Sorrento, Amalfi, post office, chemist, hydrofoil to Amalfi - Sorrento-Capri or Naples); Amalfi 22 km, Ravello 27km, Sorrento 22km. Services: English speaking manager on call. Maid service available on request.
