This is an unexpected treasure! The apartment is 2 levels with 2 nice size bedrooms and 2 baths, well-equipped and stocked kitchen. It has beautiful grounds with and upper and lower outdoor seating areas. There are flowers, herbs, tomatoes, lemon trees, fig trees. The owner, Margherita, “Mama,” is a remarkable, generous and attentive host. She and her husband built this apartment as their residence in the 1960s. They later built the co-located attractive Hotel Margherita and fabulous restaurant, “Ristorante Mama.” The residences are built on the side of a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Unfortunately, for us, it rained hard on one of the 2 full days of our visit. But that’s because we visited in early November which is in the off-season. Many hotels, restaurants, and shops closed 1 November. The hotel and restaurant will close 1 December,
Anyway, the apartment itself was replete with the classic Italian charm one would expect from a 50+yr old property. Clean, quiet, comfortable, and nicely furnished. Good water pressure and plenty of hot water from a tankless water heater. Margherita was such a delightful host, so hospitable, so generous, we would’ve stayed longer had we not made reservations in Alberobello. This is a great place to stay, centrally located between Positano and Amalfi/Ravello. Easy bus transportation to both locations. 10 Euros lets you ride any bus anywhere, for 24 hrs. They are exciting rides on the twisting roads along the Amalfi Coast. If you choose to stay, you won’t be disappointed.
