Our town is very famous in this zone because it represents the best way to visit the Amalfitan coast and other beautiful places.
We have a very efficient sistem of ferries that normally we call: “metro of the sea”. By ferry it’s possible to see every place of the Amalfitan coast and it’s sure that it is the most comfortable, and, also, the most fascinating, way to visit this incredible coast (by car it is very very difficult and more expensive).
For this reason a lot of people prefer to book, for example, for a long period in Salerno, because:
1) it is more economically convenient:
- because sleeping in Salerno means to find the best price (and the best relationship between quality and price) to visit the Amalfitan coast without the prices of the Amalfitan coast;
- and because sleeping in Salerno also means dining in the place that, for this purpose, offers the best price (and the best quality-price ratio): after a day on the coast by ferry, you can return to Salerno and find a truly remarkable dining selection, made up of typical restaurants that work respecting tradition (an extremely valid offering and with prices, again, decidedly different from those on the Amalfi Coast).
2) It is very easy to get around:
- in Salerno, in fact, in addition to the ferry, it is possible to use an excellent (and constant) train system, which is the most comfortable way to visit other exceptional places, such as: Pompeii, Herculaneum, Paestum (just half an hour by train from Salerno), Naples (40 minutes by train from Salerno), the Royal Palace of Caserta and Vietri sul Mare (only 7 minutes by train from Salerno).
3) It’s very comfortable:
- staying in a real town, and not in a small “holiday place”, allows the traveler to easily have access to everything he might need during the trip: supermarkets, “normal” shops and services of all kinds, etc…
4) Finally, and this is a key point, you can do everything by walking! In fact:
- the train station is close to the B&B: 5 minutes walking;
- the port (in which to take the ferry) is close to the B&B: 5 minutes walking;
- the historic center of Salerno is close to the B&B: 5 minutes walking.
There are trains and ferries every day at every hour!
