Overall: We had a great time. The Amalfi Coast is amazing! So much to see and do. Yet the villa was quiet and relaxing. Enjoyed Most: The view has to be 1. We spent every evening on the porch watching sunsets and admiring the scenery. The rooms, except for the kitchen, were spacious. The furniture was comfortable. Enjoyed Least: Upon arrival, the floors were swept but not clean; there were dead bugs in the tub in one bathroom and the shower needed a good cleaing. Also, one guest cut himself on the edge of the shower. The sea is 12 meters deep where the villa sea access is located. Only for strong swimmers. We were upset that we had to pay 280 euros to park our car down the road from the villa in a restaurant parking lot with no overnight security - when the 3 or 4 spaces behind the gate at the villa remained empty for the entire 2 weeks with only one space occupied on the weekends. We couldn't understand why the owner could not have made arrangements for us to rent one of the spaces. Editor's Note: The owner has confirmed that the maid will be more dilligent in the future with the cleaning of the apartment. She also confirmed that the parking spaces above do not belong to her and cannot be used. If clients insist upon bringing a car, the restaurant lot is the only option. She strongly recommends that clients do not bring a car, as it is easy to get around with drivers and public transportation. Rentvillas agrees with this. Surrounding Area: A bus stop was just a short walk from the villa. This made it so easy to travel to all the spectacular sights on the Amalfi coast and beyond. Between the buses and the train we never had to use our car--a definite plus considering the curvy road along the coast. Nearby Events or Locales: Minori is the closest town. Just a 10 minute downhill walk. It is a small town that does have a beach but is not full of tourists like Amalfi and Maiori, the next closest towns. It has a wonderful park along the beach. It is the only place along the coast with Roman villa ruins. The people are very friendly. We were able to get everything we needed for cooking at the local market shops. Tips or Restaurants: You don't really need a car. Take the train from Naples or Rome to Salerno, then catch a SITA bus toward Amalfi and get off at the stop by the Best Western. A 5 minute walk back toward town will get you to the villa which is at number 8 on the sea side. Bring bug spray and citronella candles as the mosquitoes and no-seeums are plentiful in the evening!Our favorite restaurant in Minori was Giardiniello, Corso Vitorio Emanuelle 17. A small gelato shop is on the the same street, a little closer to the the main road, was also very good. Just up beyond the Best Western is the restaurant, Il Boschetto, which is owned by Stefano. He serves dishes made with local fish and wine from his father's vineyard. Check In Out: The owner took me into town to show me the market and introduced me the the owner, good restaurants, and the location of the tourist information office.
