AMALFI
Apartment "Casa Bellavista"
Beds: 4 Rooms 2
Casa Bellavista is a beautiful apartment for
four people which overlooks the sea and the
Amalfi coast. It has its own private terrace
with stunning views. The apartment has air-conditioning,
and heating in winter.
Casa Bellavista has high, vaulted ceilings and
is beautifully decorated throughout with hand-made
majolica tiles in the typical style of the Amalfi
Coast. Furniture throughout is tasteful and
elegant.
Casa Bellavista is situated about 100 metres
above the sea, in a prominent position with
commanding views of the breathtaking rocky coastline.
Casa Bellavista is part of a small group of
old houses clustered on a rocky cliff top, bathed
in sunlight and overlooking the sparkling sea,
and surrounded by scented terraced lemon groves.
The local lifestyle here is much the same as
it has been for centuries, away from noise and
tourists. The tiny village has an ancient church,
and stone stairways that weave between the houses
and descend from the cliff top right down to
the beach and the sea.
The climb down this pathway to the sea is highly
recommended at least once during your stay,
you will be rewarded with unforgettable memories,
fascinating scenery, the heady perfume of the
surrounding greenery and enchanting views of
the blue water way down below.
There is a good choice of beaches to visit.
You can take the bus to Amalfi, which has a
big public and private beach. From the port
in Amalfi you can also take a small boat to
many of the tiny inlets dotted along the coastline.
The beautiful beach of Santa Croce is well worth
the descent down 400 rock-cut steps, an amazing
experience in itself. To get back up again,
you can take a short boat-ride by sea to Amalfi
and from there take the bus back to your apartment.
In spring and summer, there are open restaurants
and bars on the beaches and you can rent beach
umbrellas and deck chairs. Some private beaches
also have showers and changing rooms. In Amalfi,
beside the small boats which can take you to
other places along the coast, you can also go
scuba diving, hire a canoe or take part in water
sports.
