Perched above the sea, yet right in the center of town, this wonderful Amalfi apartment is perfect for those looking for an in-town experience in one of the most beautiful places on the coast. Yes, there are stairs to reach this rental apartment in Amalfi, but there are stairs everywhere in the region, and the view from the balcony is spectacular. This is a great choice for a couple or a family of 4, since the second bedroom with twin beds is small. And don't worry about grocery shopping until you're ready... this Amalfi accommodation comes stocked with provisions for a couple of meals, so all you have to do is arrive and relax!

Enjoyed Most:
The view from the living room, bedroom and balconies was excellent. The location was very close to the main square, shopping area and transport bus, ferry terminals. The apartment was clean and spacious and adequately furnished.
Unpleasant Surprises:
Only the stairs on arrival, carrying luggage. After that they were not an issue.
Surrounding Area:
We enjoyed being part of the local culture and interacting with local people and to some extent experiencing the Amalfi way of life.
We loved our trip to Ravello 5km above Amalfi - caught the bus up and walked down the winding staircase back to town.
Nearby Events or Locales:
There was a walking track to Atrani which was 1km from Amalfi, our location.
Tips or Restaurants:
If you turn left from the front door there is an interesting walk with spectacular views which can take you down to the boat harbor. Take along a radio, I-pod external speakers if you do not speak Italian. There is a simple TV only and no radio music.
The cafe at the top of the main street near top traffic light is a good place to have a coffee, beer, and people watch.
Pansa Pasticceria in the main square has an excellent choice of cakes all nicely gift wrapped to take away to enjoy with your afternoon coffee and private view from the balcony.

Enjoyed Most:
The villa was quite spacious and had excellent views.
Unpleasant Surprises:
We enjoyed sleeping with the windows open, but we unfortunately were awakened at the crack of dawn EVERY morning by very loud garbage men. Extra pillows and blankets would have been nice, but the villa satisfied our needs for the week.
Surrounding Area:
The beaches were an excellent place to relax and very close by, and the people were very nice.
Nearby Events or Locales:
We stayed in the center of Amalfi, but toured almost every town on the Amalfi coast at some point. Including Capri.
Tips or Restaurants:
Eolo was our favorite restaurant in Amalfi.

Overall:
This property was great for just a couple but there was a whole bedroom we did not use that would have been great for 2 children. I thought the best part was the views of the Duomo in the town center from one of our decks. Also be prepared if you want to go to the beach to spend 5 Euro per day for an umbrella and chair. If you are not willing to spend that, there is a public beach in Praiano which is 15 minutes walking distance and it is free, but you will need your own chair or beach towel to have with you. Other than that the whole experience was top notch.
Enjoyed Most:
The decks and views were fantastic. The deck with the table and chairs was wonderful for breakfast and meals made in the evening. This is when the town was quietest and most peaceful. I also liked the neighbors. They welcomed us as we came in and we even had them over for a meal. Very nice overall property.
Unpleasant Surprises:
It got a bit noisy at night at times in the early evening due to the street noise below. I know this sounds nit-picky, but I live in a city and am used to noise so it had to be noticeable if I am writing about it.
Surrounding Area:
Views over the cliffs, ability to walk and get anything we needed, and the ability to thoroughly enjoy the area after the tour coaches left. Also, there are numerous restaurants and places we enjoyed exploring on walks.
Nearby Events or Locales:
The Amalfi town square was under 100 steps below our property. I could run down to the grocery store and be back in 5 minutes.
Tips or Restaurants:
Bring beach towels and sunblock. We forgot to bring enough sunblock and it cost dearly. It was 20 Euro for 12 oz. bottle of 40 SPF sunblock. Bring plastic bags and sponges, too, as they came in handy. Also bring detergent to do laundry in sink so you can have clean clothes. This was a big savings for us because of length of stay overall in Italy.
