Gabbi

I need a birth certificate from my grandfather's small village, for the Dual Citizenship process. I cannot speak italian well, but found a website that can get it for me. Its http://www.icdts.com. There are other sites, but very expensive.
What I would like to know is:
Is there an online site which is cheaper?.
I also need advice on my first trip to Italy. Are there cheaper lodgings somewhere not far from Positano and Amalfi, rather than payting high rates at exclusive hotels?

Hi Gabbi - There is a hostel in Positano - I've stayed there several times:

Hope this helps ...

Hi G,

>Are there cheaper lodgings ....

What's your budget?

Hi Gabbi. As Steve James pointed out, there are hostels nearby the Positano area, which are much cheaper. I even heard that some convents provide lodgings and a meal. Try Steve's link, to see if it sounds interesting. If you would like something in the mountains, along with horseback riding, I can suggest a place to you in the Cilento National Park.
I looked over that website http://www.icdts.com, and I think you should use them for your citizenship. I used them for a translation and had it back in 2 days!. besides, they are cheaper than the others and do a fantastic job!

Need anything else, it seems there are enough people to help here!.

Wow!, I didn't expect so many quick replys. That site suggested by Steve doesn't seem bad, but of course I am still looking for the cheape4st way out. my budget?. Well, I was trying to find something more in the tune of $65, to include meals. I am interested in horseback riding and backpacking and walking along trails, etc.
Thanks for the heads up about that citizenship site. I think I will use them.

Gabbi - I don't think you'll find anywhere on the Amalfi Coast near $65 including meals

Your only chance of coming close, I think, is the Brikette (- which includes a small breakfast) - and eating out (- as I do).

For Amalfi Coast hikes (- Pathway of the Gods) you might find these links useful:

Hi G,

$65 (48E) for a single with bkfst and dinner?

I think that you should be planning on at least 50E w/bkfst.
