Agriturismo Mare e Monti

The agriturismo is located on a small road on the edge of a steep hillside (or cliff if you take a look from the Belvedere) and offers a great view over Amalfi and the Amalfi Coast. Your wellcome is warm and loud: Silvio doesn't stop explaining and telling you about the agriturismo, the regio, the hiking trails, the food and so on. His sister Anna is the calmer part of the family.... Our room was comfortable, cosy and clean. Dinner in the evening is quite an experience: Antipasti, primi, secundi and dolce all are available as you would expect in Italy, but you only take 2 courses for your value and with reason: Food is delicious ( rich country food), but copious. No way you can eat it all (even if sharing, or asking for a mezzo portione). At the end you get a little bit frustrated because you leave plenty of food on your plate. If you like to hike, no better place: just 5- 10 minutes walking you find a bus in the center of the town, which takes you to the trails of Bomerano (Sentiero degli Dei or the downhill trail to Praiano). If you like to sit and relax on the beach, that same bus takes you to the beach and back or brings you to Amalfi in order to take the boat to the other Amalfi Coast villagesor even Capri. I drove my car myself for one day and left it afterwards, because it's not faster, parking spots are limited and expensive. Moreover, the driving experience is quite stressful although I drive quite a lot in daily life.

Agriturismo Mare e Monti is a wonderful place, quiet and relaxing with the most amazing view of the sea. A place where you feel welcome and eat fantastic food, all made from local products. The most wonderful hiking trails are right outside the door, or can be easily reached by local bus.
