Travel tips and advice for Villa Astra

• There was a bus stop right outside our villa which went from Positano to Marina di Praia in Praiano. If you needed to get to other points on the coast you would have to get a different bus.
• We had a rental car which was great but it is difficult with the narrow roads.
• We went exploring all over the coast. Paestum, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Ravello, Amalfi, etc. So much to see and do.
• Two of our favorite restaurants in Praiano were La Brace, and La Strada.
• There were a few tiny markets in town, one being down the street from the villa. The one down the street being the smallest in town that we saw.

• This applies to the coast generally, not just here. Don't hire a car! The roads (and the drivers!) are so difficult that getting around is quite stressful and the bus/taxi/boat systems work well.

• For a holiday like this you've to be in good shape (many stairs).
• Living in a village among the locals is an extra benefit.

• We chartered a small boat for a day to take us to Capri -- stopped for swimming several times, restaurant on island, shopping on island. Best day we had.
• Don't try to drive a large vehicle locally -- very scary -- small car ok.
• Take the local bus when possible.
• We spent a day on the beach at Hotel Tritone -- was great.

• Sit in the garden and relax and don't bother using the car!
