How to get there

Knowing the options and making your travel plans in advance will start your trip to Amalfi Coast off on the right foot.

The property is located 27 km. (16 miles) West of Salerno and 60 km. (37 miles) South-East of Naples.
From Naples Capodichino Airport to the apartment it´s about a 90 minutes drive.

If choosing to arrive by Public transport it would depend on your arrival time at the airport/train station. Visit Amalfi Coast Transport to see which option (Bus or Ferry) will suit you best.

The easiest (and least stressful!) way to reach any destination on the Amalfi Coast from Naples airport or train station is to hire a taxi for a private transfer. While it might seem an extravagant expense, the advantages far outweigh the cost.
Since public transportation on the Amalfi Coast is easy to use and affordable and parking is expensive and very limited, renting a car is not recommended in general.

Request Private car Transfer.

Once at the property you can get around fine without the car as parking in the towns is hard to come by and expensive.

Ferries (from May to October) operate a service between Amalfi - Positano - Sorrento - Capri Island - Naples and Salerno.
