Welcome to Amalfi Coast Accommodation Rental Website. A new experience for your Amalfi Coast self-catering accommodation.
Enjoy Amalfi Coast Accommodation!
A great American writer once wrote that it is possible, even on the Amalfi Coast, to dress in evening wear or in an immaculate white suit and tie, hat, dress shoes or high heel shoes. But, you will have to be ready to arrive at the party - wherever it is – in a pitiful state and... with swollen feet! So if you really want to enjoy the party on the Amalfi Coast, favour practical clothes, light luggage and, above all, low-heeled, comfortable shoes. The beaches are stoney and there are rocks everywhere. Slip some waterproof shoes for swimming and if you prefer mountaineering, bring hiking boots. What about fashion? What about glamour? Well, two great icons of worldly elegance - Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Ines de la Freinessage - danced barefoot and walked in typical locally produced sandels while vacationing here. Follow their lead and rediscover the pleasure of what it means to feel beautiful and seductive 'au naturale'... 
Notwithstanding the stupendous scenery, the legendary SS163 is, in fact, a magnificent road for showing off the skill of the driver or the power of the engine. 
Our local bus drivers are applauded every day by the tourists delighted with the dexterity they show by executing complicated driving manoeuvres or getting out of breathtaking traffic jams - especially in the summer. The reason? It's simple: driving along the Amalfi Coast is not at all easy. The roads, especially for those who are used to driving on wide new roads, could cause a panic attack. Most of the state road is dotted with panoramic curves of spectacular beauty, that are followed by sheer drops and abysses that can cause a certain effect on the nerves and, of course, on fragile stomachs if you suffer from sea sickness or motion sickness. In any case, public transportation, rental cars, boats and long relaxing walks in nature or in the centre of town which is almost always closed to traffic are highly recommended. This way you will also avoid the problem of finding a parking space (which is both difficult to find and quite expensive). 
How could you not visit Capri, a short boat away? And Positano? And Sorrento? And could you possibly miss seeing Ercolano or Pompei, Paestum or Vesuvio? On the other hand, you'll have a comfortable house, perhaps with a swimming pool, the beach just a short walk away, the freshest fish just bought, a huge basket of fruit and vegetables given by your neighbor and a sun and a splendid sea that are inviting you to enjoy an equally magnificent inactivity. What to do when the choices are so pleasantly conflicting? In Italy they say, 'follow your heart' and let it be so, at least while you are on holiday. Plan - let us say - an excursion in the mountain but don't be too surprised if you find yourself instead in the sea helping some fisherman bring in his nets. What is important is that you are in harmony with yourself. There is just one thing that we recommend that you plan with great care and that is your arrival and your departure. Airports, train and bus stations and ports are not really close by and independently from the actual distance, can be difficult to reach, especially in the summer. If you are travelling by public transit there may be several connections to make with schedules that are not always guaranteed and personnel who are not necessarily available. Please don't hesitate to contact us for any information you may need. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to arrive here. Help us to do so by asking our help. 
Remember that time and space are very relative concepts. Don't expect Anglo Saxon or Swiss punctuality as far as public transit or delivery of goods are concerned. Schedules are dependent on traffic, that - especially in the summer - can delay the passage of cars, buses and boats. In the Winter the problem can be the opposite. The road is free of traffic and public transportation often arrives ahead of schedule. In any case, you will soon discover that the Amalfi Coast has its schedules and its high seasons, and as you are used to do everywhere else, you will learn to organize your life in such a way as to avoid finding yourself blocked in a crowd of tourists, in a queue or piled up one on top of each other in traffic. This will be especially important if you intend to dedicate a part of your holiday to excursions and cultural visits in archaeological sites. For this, early morning or off season is best. We can guarantee that archaeological sites, such as Pompei and Ercolano really should not be missed. But, don't imagine that we are talking about a couple of columns and some nice old vases conserved in a beautiful air conditioned museum. 
We are talking about scouring and immersing yourself in real and proper ancient cities, preserved from the past, which offer marvelous examples of buildings, houses, temples and amphitheatres which are absolutely authentic and not artificially created for the tourist. This involves walking on stone-paved streets, like a Roman or Greek of old, for quite some time under the hot sun. And, don't even hope for a chariot! Are you sure that you want to do this in August, at two or three o'clock in the afternoon? And are you sure that the ten kilometres between Amalfi and Ravello are the same as the ten kilometres you would travel in Toronto, New York or London? Try to arrive on time for a concert in Ravello in the summer. Then, we can talk about this again.
. If the locals seem slim and in shape to you, we owe it all to the fact that nature and the local landscape offers us a natural calorie burner. We swim, we row, we dive, we trek, we climb and we go up and down stairs constantly. We breathe clean air, we enjoy constant sea breezes, and, above all, we luxuriate in this fantastic, free aroma therapy. The Mediterranean scrub, our gardens, our citrus groves and the spontaneous plant life of our coast offer magnificent scents and tastes which you will find - together with fresh fish - at the basis of our cuisine. 
A simple but very, very tasty cuisine based on dishes that are characterized by high nutritional value and low fat content. Certainly, you can get carried away with our wines-that is the summer we mix with fresh peaches,-our home-made liqueurs, and above all, our “gelati”, our granitas and our many traditional sweets. But, don't worry... a short walk and you'll burn it all off... you decide how much and how... dance, swim, dive, run or do aerobics, acrobatics, stretching, erotics or artistics... what does it matter? It is impossible NOT to move here; and as far as your health is concerned, that's a real plus.
It can seem cramped for those used to the flat, level life of apartments and city streets. It isn't by chance that we are included among the most romantic places in the world. In fact, it's impossible to get away, to not be touched, to not hold hands, or not let yourself languish in this atmosphere that is perfect for all the lovers of the world. Towns like Ravello, Positano and Sorrento are host to stratospheric numbers of weddings because many are the couples - some of them famous - who fell in, rediscovered ,or took refuge from, love here. And who, consequently, choose to get married here in the land of love and in this fantastic honeymoon setting Thus, a solitary traveller here might soon find himself attached to the telephone calling a great or lost love to join him. Or, as another option, he may find himself engaged in rites of seduction or unexpected courtship. Prepare yourself and protect yourself for a reawakening of the senses that can easily happen here. Good natives that we are, we warn you of the possible dangers. As in every self-respecting love story there is some obstacle to overcome. But, to paraphrase Beppe Severgnini, 'a partner who still smiles at you after a trip in a boat in rough seas, or a bus trip that comes up from the beach and, a partner who doesn't fall asleep after an excursion in town and still looks at you tenderly after your third plate of spaghetti, you can be sure, will be wherever and forever a good companion.
