Spectacular view in quiet part of Almafi Coast
Family of five of us - all adults. Host met us for check in. Patio view is the best!!! The recommended Limoncello making class and food tasting at local restaurant Le Bonta del Capo was a highlight of our trip and this restaurant provided 2 of our best meals on the entire coast. Another favorite meal was beach dinner at La Tonnerella (lots of stairs). Rental has a great view because it’s way up from beach. We thought when booking the beach would be accessible by foot but with weaving roads and terraces of homes - you must car or taxi to this town’s beach and other places along the coast. My husband drove and he should get a medal! Not an easy feat to drive on coast. 10 miles can take up to an hour. Taxis would be very expensive (150 euros one way from Positano to Conca dei Marini) and no water public transportation option from Conca dei Marini. Buses may be an option but not one we
tried. You can walk to one restaurant mentioned above easily and a small grocery store. Drove short distance for wonderful morning coffee and pastries at Bar Santa Rosa and they will deliver. Hosts were terrific about getting a/c fixed promptly, getting parking pass for car, and answering all our questions. One thing to note is there are 75 steps to get luggage up and down. If steps and walking aren’t your thing this isn’t the trip for you. Other highlights of our trip were the Path of Gods hike from Agerola to Positano (over 5 miles one way! Must be a fit person who isn’t afraid of heights, wear great shoes and maybe bring hiking stick.)…One Fire Beach Club was a fun afternoon in Praino but take water taxi to avoid so many stairs and make a reservation for chairs. We also enjoyed day trip to Capri and spending time in Ravello and Almafi. If your intention is to have a rental as home base and see the entire coast …I’d recommend choosing a place in Almafi or Positano which has easier beach access, more nightlife options, and water transportation. If you want a perfect spot to write, read, relax and have great hosts and restaurant nearby…this is a terrific option.
