About The Experience
Set in the center of Amalfi, this accommodation overlooks the picturesque seaside resort town, including the Moorish bell tower and cathedral. This Amalfi Coast apartment is right in the center of town, in the middle of it all, but high enough up so that noise disturbances are diminished. From this Amalfi apartment you can take busses or water transportation to towns and islands all along the Amalfi Coast.
Location Description

Set in the center of Amalfi, this property overlooks the picturesque seaside resort town, including its Moorish bell tower and cathedral. The flat is within easy walking distance of all essential services, including bars, shops, restaurants, banks, and the post office. An important trading center from the 9th to 13th centuries, Amalfi is surrounded by striking cliffs and coast. Among many shops and cafes you will enjoy the lovely architecture that surrounds you, including the Duomo in the center of town (with Asian influences) and the Cloister of Paradise, which takes a cue from Arabian styles. 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. Of course, don't forget to spend some time on the beach! For local travel, approximately 130 steps from the apartment building lead up to the main road, and parking is available in a nearby garage (at an extra cost). However, driving the roads on the Amalfi Coast can be intimidating... but there is more than one way to get around in this beautiful area! There is a good system of buses operating from the nearby Piazza Flavio Gioia that will take you to Ravello, Scala, Sorrento, Salerno, and Positano. The standard blue SITA busses are marked with a blue and white sign and cost about 1-2 euros depending on your destination. Ferries and hydrofoils also offer daily service between Amalfi and Capri (1.5 hours), Positano (20 min), Ischia (2.5 hours), and Salerno (1 hour). The ferry service operates only during the summer.

Nearby Attractions: Amalfi (Duomo, Cloister of Paridise, Morelli museum, archaeological museum, beach), Ravello, Scala, Sorrento, Salerno, Positano.

Sorrento: 35 km
Salerno: 27 km
Positano: 22 km
Scala: 5 km

Customer Reviews

Overall:
The weather did not cooperate while we were there in late October. However, the town of Amalfi is beautiful and the bus rides to neighboring towns offered stunning views.
Enjoyed Most:
Views from every room.
Enjoyed Least:
Beds were firm and linens and towels could have been nicer. Apartment required 5 keys to enter. The apartment is quite basic inside with seating for only 4 in the living room.
Surrounding Area:
It was easy to catch buses to Ravello and Positano from the plaza. The town is compact and full of shops.
Nearby Events or Locales:
We were right in the heart of Amalfi, and Atrani is also within walking distance (use the tunnel).
Tips or Restaurants:
You'll have to stock up on food, coffee and paper goods at the local Deco store. There are some cleaning supplies provided. We really enjoyed the Taverna restaurant.
Directions:
We took the bus from Salerno and were met in the plaza by Daniela.
Check In Out:
Note that you don't need to use the keys to get out; you can buzz the doors open on your way out of the building (we didn't figure this out until day 2!).

Overall:
It was fantastic. We absolutely loved Ghita.
Enjoyed Most:
The deck was amazing. We spent a lot of time up there!
Enjoyed Least:
Having to get through 5 doors with 5 different keys!
Surrounding Area:
The views were magnificent. Surprisingly, the views behind us of Ravello (the hills) was better than the view of the water.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Atrani--yes, a very short walk. Atrani was very nice.
Tips or Restaurants:
Good restaurants - Villa Eva and Salvatore in Ravello. Strongly recommend a trip to Ravello, particularly during the music festival. Make sure you dont buy gelati/panini etc too close to the beach as they are almost twice as expensive there and no better. There is a really great green grocer just near Ghita. Make friends with a taxi driver. They are all very nice, and if you meet one of them and build a relationship with him you will get cheaper fares. Definitely check out Africano Club for a night out (make sure you pick the right night) Bring sunscreen!

Overall:
We spent our last week of our month in Italy at this property with our adult children and found it lovely and delightful. The views were amazing. The terrace was a great surprise and used every time it wasn't raining.
Enjoyed Most:
The space for everyone to spread out and the beautiful views of the sea.
Enjoyed Least:
The number of keys that it took to get in and out of the property and my husband would say the number of steps (130), but there is an elevator...which takes a key, too!
Surrounding Area:
Amalfi was lovely as was the entire coast area.
Nearby Events or Locales:
This property was in Amalfi and Positano was a 30 minute bus ride away.
Tips or Restaurants:
We loved several restaurants. Donna Stella Pizzeria got our business a couple of times. La Taverna degli Apostoli was wonderful. As was the pizzeria/ristorante at the very end of the main road towards the mountain...Il Murino. Amazing seafood! The kitchen was well stocked with good cooking utensils, including knives. There were plenty of dishes and there is a dishwasher, too.
Directions:
There would be no way to find this property except to meet the agent at the bus stop and walk up. It is a restricted driving zone.... and who wants to drive the Amalfi Coast anyway? We were running late (again) this time because of missed flights and lost luggage, but Daniella was incredibly kind and met us much later than the original agreed upon time. Everyone was truly helpful.
