Amalfi Coast Hotels
 
Hi Am looking for a Hotel on the Amalfi Coast that is clean and in a good location and also looking for something that isnt to $$$ thanks for your help.

Rose, you might get more responses if you mention specifically where on the Amalfi Coast you'd like to stay -- Sorrento? Capri? Positano? Amalfi? or give some other clues to your trip.

Rose79 Feb 17th, 2004 06:48 PM

Well im not even sure where would love positano but seems very $$$ so am open for any suggestions.

try www.karenbrown.com - Italy hotels and her Italy Inns - great recommends in Positano or Ravello

My own personal recommendation is the Onda Verde in Praiano. If you have a car it fits all your requirements.

Hi Rose,

We very much liked our stay at the Hotel Le Sirene in Praiano. www.lesirene.com.

See my trip report

we are going to amalfi coast in september and after much research on this site, i think we are going to book the miramare hotel in positano. their prices are very reasonable & the views are spectactular.

Rose79 Mar 10th, 2004 01:03 AM

Thanks everyone.. I have gone with Iras suggestion and have made a booking at Hotel Le Sirene..

You have made a good choice Rose,check out the SITA bus timetables at WWW.sita-on-line.it for bus trips to Positano, Sorrento and Amalfi. (Campania)

Thanks Walkamalfi... what do you think about hiring a vespa in Priano to get around and see the other towns??

ira Mar 10th, 2004 04:11 AM

Hi Rose,

I think you will enjoy Le Sirene.

Are you an experienced motorcycle driver? If not, Italy is not a good place to learn.

walkamalfi Mar 10th, 2004 09:21 AM

A vespa is an ideal way of getting around the Amalfi Coast. I use mine almost every day in the summer months when parking becomes a nightmare. Driving does appear to be precarious to coachbound tourists but in a small car or on a vespa it gives the tourist a huge amount of freedom.

Look into Albergo California in Positano. Was cheap for the area, very clean, great location, free parking, huge rooms comparitively speaking.

Rose79 Mar 10th, 2004 06:09 PM

Hi Ira,

Nope havent I didnt even think you need to know how to ride one.. Do you need a motorcycle licence??

Thanks Swaletr will look into that as well!!!

ira Mar 11th, 2004 06:37 AM

Hi rose,

I'm sure you could rent a vespa without a motorcycle license.

However, learn to drive one before you go to Italy.
