Situated high up in town, naturally there are steps to climb ( approx. 83.) but for those seeking space, privacy, comfort and above all wide panoramic views of the sea and of the village , the climb is worth . Parking may be tricky here but there is no need for a car as restaurants, bars, boutiques and all immediate necessities are close at hand and a short walk or bus ride downhill leads to the town center and the two beaches. However, paid garages ( to be booked in advance) are in the neighborhood if you do have a car, at additional charge of 20 euros per day payable locally.
Distances:
The entrance of the house is only a short walk away from the one-way internal road housing local traffic and Positano's inner transport system only.
Shops, restaurants and cafés can be found along the internal road , within 100 meters from the house.
At the same distance is a pay parking garage (where a space can be reserved in advance) and a bus stop for the local yellow-bus that circulates around Positano and takes to the pedestrian area downtown.
The pedestrian area can also be reached on foot through the old, typical ramps of stairs and romantic lanes which characterize Positano ; the local bus will take guests back up from the centre down below.
From the pedestrian area , the main beach of Positano, called Spiaggia Grande, can only be reached on foot in 5/6 minutes by following a charming downhill alley closed to traffic, which will take to the beach in approximately 600 meters. This alley is full of colourful shops and boutiques, where guests will be able to shop for fashion and local hand-made goods.
Ferries and hydrofoils to Capri (20min), Naples (50 min), Amalfi (30 min) and Salerno (1˝h) leave from a pier to the right of the main beach.
The other villages of the coast are easily reached by blue buses marked SITA.
