My husband and I leased this apartment for 3 nights. We found it to be just as pictured. It was both nice and clean, the bed comfy, the kitchen was well stocked, we however, totally took advantage of taking in the local foods and had some amazing food. We fell totally in love with Amalfi and it's kind locals. We felt like we were extended family!
The apartment was great because we could go out and return throughout the day. It's locale is its best asset for sure. The apartment is perfect for a couple.
Andrea is super helpful and we also fell in love with Nello, the little 85 y/o gentleman who works for ("volunteers but keeps his tips") Andrea at his restaurant.
Our children flew into Rome on Monday and as we took the ferry to Salerno and the train to Termini to meet them with the plan to go onto Florence. We decided to change plans and return to Amalfi since we were spending 3 days in Rome and none of the kids are art buffs. It was the right call because they too fell in love with the area. When we returned we stayed in the Villa Serena also managed by Andrea. We stopped by the restaurant to get the keys and Nello teared up to see us again and with our kids. As he opened a bottle of wine for us he serenaded us with an Italian song! As he poured our wine one drop of wine dripped down the bottle. He dipped his finger in it and rubbed it behind our 15 year old son's ear and spoke in Italian. We asked Andrea to translate. It is Italian tradition and is meant as both a wish of good fortune and a blessing. That was the cutest experience! Short story: if you have the chance to go to Amalfi, GO!! Andrea was super to work with and is now helping us get some local wine purchased and shipped. He will be our go to in the future for sure.
One added thing is the local bus or ferry by boat connects all of the towns of the Amalfi Coast making it easy to get around. We WILL be returning to Amalfi, without a doubt!
