Travel tips and advice for Villa Irina

• There are a lot of steps which is typical for Positano.
• Walk up the steps from the villa and turn right to access a grocery store, fruit market, meat market and bus stop. Turn left to access a great fish market. The best local wine at the gorcer was only 3.50!!
• Use the ferries to visit Sorrento, Amalfi, Capri and Ravello, they're resonable and the views are amazing. I do not recommend the bus, they're packed and terrifying.

• The biggest suggestion we have is relax and enjoy yourself because the villa is a great place to do it.
• Use the two markets at the top of the steps from the villa to food shop. They are convenient and between the two, likely have everything you will need for your stay. We shopped daily and cooked almost every meal at the villa: the terrace is just too good to let go to waste.
• For the morning, there is also a local bar/cafe right next to the markets where you can get some amazing fresh pastries to have with your coffee/tea. This spot is also the closest place to catch the buses to Sorrento or Amalfi.
• Going to the beach, take stairs down when you can and walk the roads back if the trek up the stairs is too difficult. The roads, although inclined, are very manageable.
• At the beach, it is about 12 Euro a person for chairs and an umbrella for the day and well worth the expense. There are plenty of places to grab food close by and they do offer beachside service. Finally, the beach is a bit rocky and the type of sand present can get very hot, so if you own water shoes they are worth packing.
• We had our last meal at Restaurant Il Capitano, a lovely restaurant overlooking the sea. The food is great and plentiful. The seafood soup appetizer could easily be a meal for most people. For a romantic dinner with a priceless view it can't be beat.

• Boat trip to Capri from Positano a must, then hire a scooter once you've gone up the funicular and walk through the town past the bus stop on the right, take a spin of the Island.
• Jump on a bus up to Montepertuso for a meal at Restaurant Il Ritrovo, a delight, and then walk back down to Positano!

• We loved the restaurant at the top of the stairs (turn left). Sorry can not remember the name of this great place.

• If you are afraid of walking a lot of steps, you should avoid this destination.
• For take away pizza lovers there is a good restaurant with decent prices just up the steps from the house, to the left on the street after the steps.
