The Amalfi Coast is one of the most famous tourist destinations on earth, and rightly so! The vistas are as unforgettable as the curving coastal road, the villages are darling, and the nightlife is legendary. All of this is within close proximity of Sorrento, but if you are also looking to experience the authentic atmosphere of a picturesque fishing harbor, then this property is the perfect choice. Park your car in the garage and use it to explore Amalfi, Positano and Ravello, or if you'd rather leave the driving to someone else, just hop on the bus that stops right in front of the door. Or walk through an enchanting leafy neighborhood to the train station and visit Pompeii. After your sightseeing, come home to the sights, sounds and smells of a little enclave that has hardly changed in three hundred years. Gaily painted fishing boats draw up to a strand that is lined with old-fashioned homes, where laundry flutters at the windows, strings of peppers and baby tomatoes dangle from the balconies, and urchins kick a soccer ball just below. The narrow alleys are lined with gardens and small everyday shops. Three restaurants -- patronized by locals and visitors alike -- occupy wharves that jut right out into the sea. Everybody congregates to watch as the sun sets and the lights of Naples come to life across the bay. Things are much the same as they've been for centuries, and you can be a part of it if you opt to stay in one of these apartments.
Hidden on a calm side street just yards from the water, this unobtrusive building has recently been remodeled from bottom -- where you'll relax in a quiet garden -- to top -- where a shared terrace awaits you beneath the always mild Sorrentine sky. The building, which offers concierge services during the day, now houses seven spacious, sunny apartments that make a perfect base for an authentic Italian vacation. They all have air conditioning, window screens, satellite TV, wireless Internet (5 Euro/day) and safe; an iron and ironing board are available on request. Five of the apartments have the same layout, consisting of a living/dining room featuring one double or two single sleep sofas and modern kitchenette with fridge/freezer, four-burner range, oven, washing machine, American coffeepot and plenty of dishes; plus a double bedroom with queen bed (no twins) and modern tile bathroom with stall shower, courtesy set and hair dryer. Three of these apartments are easily accessible on the ground floor; the other two are on the first floor and share their own large terrace. Also on this floor are two sea-view apartments, one with two bedrooms and the other with one bedroom. The sea-view apartments do not have satellite TV but we wager you will be more interested in gazing at the deep blue Mediterranean than in watching world news on CNN!
