Travel tips and advice for Villa Trofimena

• If you arrive in Amalfi with the intention of travelling to Minori, do not take a taxi. We were charged 40 Euros. Take a bus from the bus station on the sea front. Tickets are available from a number of shops, (usually tobacconists) and the fare is 2.5 Euros.
• Trofimena is not like a villa in say Spain. There is no toaster in the kitchen so we used a frying pan to toast bread (good with a little olive oil). There is no kettle, so water for tea or instant coffee, has to be heated in a pan.
• There are no basic grocery essentials when you arrive, so you will have to do some shopping. And remember the steps up which you have to carry everything [if shopping at small local stores, ask whether home delivery is available]. It's also worth knowing that the shops close in the afternoon, so do your shopping early in the morning or in the evening. Shops are open from about 8 am until about 1 pm, then there is a riposo (Italian siesta) and they re-open at about 5 pm until about 9 pm.

• There is a very good butcher along the alley which connects the very big church and the main shopping street.
• Its much cheaper to buy bus tickets from the general store located in the last square before leaving town heading towards Amalfi.
• When arriving, buy some food on your way up - its a lot of steps to run up and down. There is a lovely walk around the top of the town which takes about an hour and leads you through the beautiful houses on the hillside. When leaving the villa, head in the direction of the town then turn right at the end of the first steps. Follow the path around to the left.

• The walk to Ravello is strenuous but well worth it!

• Ask for the air conditioning control unit for the top bedroom.
• Ask where all the electricity switches are located in case of power overload.

• Be prepared to have a workout every time you come back to it. Those stairs is something you will remember for quite some time. But it is still worth it. Between my wife and I, we dropped an average of 3% of our body-weight each, and we were already below our ideal weight to start with.
