A Beautiful Place
Our family of four had a great stay at this beautiful and interesting property. The apartment was very clean, comfortable, and more spacious than the photos suggested - we had plenty of room and there are two full bathrooms. The large balcony area is fantastic, especially in the late afternoon and evening. Air conditioning kept the house very comfortable, even in the heat of the day. The road into the area is definitely steep, narrow, and full of very tight turns but we did fine in a Jeep Renegade. There is a parking spot available right off the road that is a bit tight to get into and out of but very nice to have. Once we arrived, we parked the car and did not use it for the remaining days. We had no trouble with the stairs that connect the apartment to the road - most of the places we stayed in Italy were similar. It is worth the extra effort to access a home built into the hillside with an amazing view.
Our host, Antonio, was generous with his time and advice, both of which were very much appreciated. At his suggestion, we rented a boat to see the Amalfi Coast from the water, rather than trying to drive to Positano, and it was an amazing day. We made a few other tweaks to our plans based on his advice and it made a huge difference. Antonio also shared tomatoes and apricots from the surrounding gardens, which were amazing. There are a number of restaurants that are walking distance and a great hike right from the house to the beautiful Bay of Ieranto, where you can swim.
We definitely recommend la chiocciola if you are visiting the area - it was the perfect start to our vacation. Thank you Antonio for all you added to our stay!
