Main 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 ( bus ticket is 1,50 euros per person per each trip). 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 (1½h) 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. At about 1,5  km  far from the house is the SITA bus stop which offers regular service to and from  Amalfi  and  Sorrento ,  every 45 minutes / 1 hour   and can be  reached  by local  mini buses .

Parking:

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 to the  two beaches. However, if you do have a car,  paid garages (to be  booked in advance) are in the neighbourhood. Additional charge of  20 euros  per day  approximately.
