Travel tips and advice for Villa Saracena

• It was a great location to take day trips to the local towns and even some towns farther away such as Pompeii, Sorrento and Paestum.
• We did two walking tours: one from Ravello to Amalfi and one from Maiori to Amalfi. Great views.

• Don't hesitate to rent this villa. This beautiful place was much more than I expected in every way. The photographs on line do not do it justice.
• There are two outstanding caretakers, friendly honest and very helpful.
• Three of the bedrooms were outstanding. Two bedrooms were quite a bit smaller. All bathrooms were good. Keep this in mind when you are planning for the number of people at the villa. We would rent this villa again in a heartbeat.
• The buses were an adventure but not totally reliable. Sometimes they were full and passed us up, especially in early October. Buses stopped for us right outside the villa. On return trips, we had a difficult time telling the driver where to let us off. It was hard to recognize the area of the villa.
• One restaurant in Maiori, Mammato, picked us up and brought us back to the villa at no extra cost. Other restaurants do this also including the famous Restaurant Capo D'Orso. You really don't need a car.

• Definitely engage Mrs. Pina to cook for you one of the evenings - it was one of the highlights of our trip.
• If you choose not to drive (and we did not drive), ask Mrs. Pina to hook you up with reliable and reasonable transportation (car or van and driver) or use Aldo - I have given his number below. She also got us a very reasonable boat and captain for our group of 10 to go to Capri for a day.
• The public bus is easy as well but if you are travelling together most places (as our group of 10 did), it is easier to get a van and driver.
• A day trip to Capri and another day trip to Ravello are well worth it as well as a day ferry to Positano (from Amalfi).
• Aldo helped us arrange transportation - his cell number is 339-8871795 and the rates were very reasonable.

• The housekeeper - Pina - had an excellent recommendation for a chartered boat tour of the Amalfi Coast. She does not speak English, so you may want to use a translator to get the info.

• If you only have one week, I would stay at the villa and enjoy relaxing there. If you are staying longer, as we did you may enjoy visiting Capri by boat. The housekeeper can recommend a good driver.
• We enjoyed Ravello, Positano, the beach in Maiori.
• The cook makes delicious meals with many fresh ingredients from her own garden.
