Villa Vettica di Amalfi
About the home
A 3 bedroom villa (2 rooms with double beds and 1 with a bunk bed) with gorgeous sea views (from all three bedrooms) in a quiet residential location surrounded by lemon groves at the heart of the famous Amalfi coast.
There is a fully equipped large and luminous kitchen and dining area which seats eight. A comfortable large bathroom with shower and bathtub.
The nearest beach is Santa Croce about 15 minutes ' walk ' away (down a number of stairs). The beach has a bar and fish restaurant 'da Teresa' and sunbeds and umbrellas are available for hire. (www.dateresa.it)
The house boasts high domed ceilings, a architectural tradition of the area, which makes it cool and airy in the summer. Also typical of the area is that residential 'streets' are actually stairs and the house is 140 steps up from street level. (Don't worry, our 4 and 6 year old children manage them with ease several times a day!) You are rewarded with spectacular sea views throughout the house.
An opportunity to experience life as lived by the (very friendly) locals in a very private, comfortable property and close to all amenities.

The Campania region


The region has a mild Mediterranean climate with long ,hot summers with average highs of 30-35 degrees Celsius in summer and moderate winters with an average temperature of 10 degrees.
Amalfi is just one of the unique towns along the Amalfi Drive,a 50km stretch of road from Salerno to Sorrento which bends and winds along cliffs that drop into crystal clear waters connecting the beautiful towns of Positano, Amalfi and the hillside village of Ravello.
Amalfi's main square is dominated by the Duomo Sant' Andrea ,an imposing cathedral dating from the 10th century and well worth a visit. There is also the Museo Civico and a paper museum.
The Amalfi Coast / Amalfi area
Ideal for walkers, in the hills above Amalfi are dozens of small paths and stairways connecting the towns with mountainside villages.
The harbour has daily ferries to the islands of Capri, Ischia and boats to any other of the towns along the coast, Positano ,Sorrento and Salerno, in fact it is one of the easiest and most pleasant ways to get around! Alternatively there are frequent buses to all the local towns and attractions.
Don't miss the the nearby hill town of Ravello.
Just a ten minutes stroll (turn right at the bottom of the stairs) along the coastal road you'll find two restaurants/pizzerias and a bar. The bar is open from breakfast time until late in the evening. Located on the road towards Positano and Sorrento the bus stop in right at the foot of the steps making it easy to get around without a car.
