The Pros: - spacious terrace with a beautiful view of the ocean and coastline.
-Beautiful and Quiet area
-Market Nearby
-Spacious apartment with a decent size bathroom
-Kitchen is functional if you choose to cook your own meals.
The Cons:
-It is a workout to get to the front door if you are accessing the apt from the lower road. Lots of steps! If you are not able-bodied enough for a decent hike to get to the unit, you will not have a good time.
-It does not seem safe to walk on the roads (narrow winding cliffside roads, no sidewalks, fast traffic), and there are no restaurants very close, so getting dinner nearby can be a challenge. Also many restaurants within 1km of the apt were inexplicably closed on a Tues/Wed night.
-There is no landline phone in the unit. We were hoping to call a restaurant for food delivery, but that was not an option.
-All the beaches nearby were closed for the season and we were not informed of this.
- Busses can be challenging to navigate from the apt.
- Kitchen ceilings are very low
- Microwave is broken
- There is a Drip Coffee machine, but filters are not available for purchase nearby (we ended up using the Moka)
-Getting a bus back to this area from Amalfi was a sh*t show. Long unorganized lines, packed busses etc.
Overall I'm glad we had the experience, but staying in this area of Amalfi is a logistical challenge. Walkability was really tough w/ narrow roads and lack of nearby restaurants.
