Travel tips and advice for Villa Faustina CHeather Stewart, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Canada May 9, 2009 - We went to Pompeii, Capri, Amalfi, Ravello and Praiano.
-
Tried to do the Walk of the Gods but it was not marked at all. I think you'd have to have better information for that hike.
-
Bruno's up the street is good, so was La Cambusa.
-
Clothing is really overpriced.
Philip Goudie, Ararat, Australia October 4, 2008 - Make sure that you have the wonderful (and cheap) breakfasts - served in your room and eaten on the terrace!
Julie Bodie, Charlotte, NC, United States September 27, 2008 - Villa Faustina C is in a great location, with a wonderful view, at a reasonable price.
Marjorie Sweeney-Meils, Brooklyn, NY, United States June 21, 2008 - Bring swim shoes for the pebbly beach.
-
Definitely splurge on a dinner at nearby Max's - get the spaghetti alle vongole if possible.
-
Positano is a bit on the touristy side, to say the least, so take a day trip to Praiano or another town via water taxi for a different experience.
Marcia Spink, Philadelphia, PA, United States May 31, 2008 - I recommend that you hire a driver from Summer in Italy's website both for airport transportation and for a day or a half day to Praiano, Amalfi and Ravello. I used Claudio Lucibello. He is a great reliable professional. You can take the SITA bus to these places, but an English speaking driver familiar with history of the Amalfi Coast makes for a special experience. My driver stopped at scenic vistas and let me get out to take pictures.
-
My driver also took me to a ceramics factory, LizArt Ceramics in Praiano where the pieces are more unique, the quality is higher and the prices are lower. My shipment arrived here in Philadelphia 10 days later with every piece intact.
-
I bought cameos from the shop/museum in Ravello and beautiful writing paper in Amalfi from the shop located in the connecting walkway between the town square and the waterfront.
-
Villa Faustina C is 3 doors away from the famous Le Sirenuse Hotel. You really should try to treat yourself to dinner at its restaurant - Restaurant La Sponda.
-
Another recommendation is Restaurant Max in the little pedestrian area. Make a reservation for an outside table.
-
Go on line and get the electrical adapters with the three round prongs. The TV works great but all stations are in Italian. I was glad I brought a portable DVD/CD player along with my favorite movies and music.
-
The cell phone and Italian SIM card I bought before I left never worked. Turns out the phone was defective. I ended up taking the local bus in Positano up to the Bar Internazionale stop. There is a cell phone store there (opens at 4:00 PM) where you can purchase a cell phone and SIM card or just an Italian SIM card. They sold me a brand new phone and SIM card for 100 Euros. I also purchased the minutes for the SIM card there and they loaded them upon them phone for me. They guaranteed it will work -- and it did. This is an economical and definitely reliable way to get a cell phone in Positano. After I got my phone number - I just called home and had my sister e-mail my cell number to all my family and friends. These people will first try to get your own phone to work by setting you up with an Italian SIM card. So you may not have to buy a phone like I did.
