• There are several marble stair cases and they are black or dark blue. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish the individual stairs especially at landings.
• We were not prepared for the drive up and down the mountain, steep and narrow roads. We did get accustomed to them after a few days.

• Everyone should give Pizzeria U' Suricin in the old city a visit. Fantastic pizza.

• Car is necessary. Agropoli is nice town without too many tourists.

• Stay out of Salerno unless you really need to see this congested little city's sights (we got tied up there trying to get to Positano, Ravello. etc. and didn't see anything worth going into town for). Stay on the main highway to the Amalfi coast and forget about taking any back roads.
• Paestum is definitely worth seeing and there is a good restaurant on site for lunch.
• Driving the Amalfi coast can be a challenge
• we've done it about five times and we're getting too old to do it again.
• Go to Ravello and eat at Cumpa' Cosimo, a little local eatery off the back street left of the church. Netta is the owner and a real kick. She'll give you half of what's on the menu for free. She remembered us from a stop with our son four years ago.
• Beware of the many small and half steps leading up and down the floors of the villa. They are all granite and not fully lit so they can be dangerous.

• The Villa was beautiful but take care going up the narrow road to get there. If you have been to Italy this is normal but if not approach the turns with caution could meet other vehicles.
• The Villa as mentioned is wonderful but be very careful going up and down both sets of stairs. Go barefoot all times or shoes,not socks. The stairs would be very unforgiving.
• We shopped at the large grocery outskirts of Agropoli. All you need is there.
• Agropoli is not a bad little town... Find the square in the downtown area and you will have many shops to choose from. You know you have found it when you look to the Mediterranean Sea from the square and you will see steps which take you to a church and on to the castle which is visible from the villa.
