Travel tips and advice for Casa Odetta

• From the house, take the steps down to Arienzo Beach.
• From the house, take the steps up to the village of Nocelle and continue hiking.
• From the Spiaggia Grande, the main beach in Positano, buy a ticket for a boat tour to Capri and stop to swim in sea/grottoes along the way.

• Future guests may want to know that you must walk up more than 200 steps to get to the apartment. It definitely gets your heart pumping, but, for us, it was more than worth it as the apartment was so nice and the view amazing. After all, Positano is basically built into the mountains so there are stairs everywhere.
• Also, the apartment is a little walk to the town of Positano. I would estimate it took us about 15 minutes. Also, there are no sidewalks on the street and it is very narrow. There are buses, however, that stop right at the bottom of the stairs below the apartment. The buses only come every hour and sometime every hour and twenty minutes. Connie [the owner] gave us a bus schedule and we found ourselves timing the bus appropriately.

• Be sure to visit Capri on the ferry and take a boat trip along the coastline.
• We hired a car and driver for the day to take us to Pompeii and Vesuvius -- expensive (200 euros) but well worth doing.

• There are 147 steps up to the apartment - but there are steps everywhere you go along the Amalfi coast so unless you are physically unable to walk up the steps - don't let that change your mind about renting Casa Odetta.
• The kitchen was very well stocked with utensils, plates, cookware, a refrigerator, stove, oven and microwave. They have a hairdryer and washing machine, as well as clean/fresh linens and towels. No clothes dryer - which is not unusual for this region, but the clothes smell great after drying on the clothes lines.
• You are able to have groceries delivered from the local supermarket - the phone number is handy in the foyer desk along with lots of brochures and local information.
• There is an Internet Cafe at the beach in Positano which is in walking distance.
• We enjoyed shopping for linens and lace made in Positano as well as ceramics from Positano and the local region.
• The bus stop is directly at the bottom of the steps of Casa Odetta. The SITA bus goes from Sorrento to Salerno, and there is a local bus that goes from Positano to Amalfi.
• We went to Pompeii via SITA and rail. We went to Amalfi and bought and tasted their famous Limoncello. We took a ferry to Capri one day and a bus to Salerno another day. We walked down the Nocelle trail steps - which, by the way, passes right by the door step of Casa Odetta! Every day was filled with new adventures and we walked, and walked, and walked and ate, and ate, and ate, and shopped, and shopped, and shopped making the most of every hour of every day and didn't even gain a pound!
• Best advice for US travelers - do not fly through Atlanta. Best advice for International travelers - avoid De Gaulle airport in Paris if possible.
• Pack lightly with comfortable clothes - a sweater for the cool evenings and comfortable walking shoes.

• The restaurants in Montepertuso, which is at the top of the hill/mountain will all send complementary taxi's to collect you and bring you back if you book a table with them for dinner. Much preferable to the 1700 steps you have to walk up if you choose to make your own way there!
