We had such a fabulous 13 nights here. Alfonsina and her family were the perfect hosts. The whole place is gorgeous, retaining lots of original features like the floor tiles in the breakfast room Alfonsina was really helpful and spoke amazing English, which was rare in Santa Maria! I appreciate her trying to teach me a couple of new Italian words a day, too. We're from Birmingham, UK and found it easy to get to, direct flight to Naples, Alibus to the station, train to Agropoli anf the 34/35 bus to about 2 minutes away from Villa Imperamere. The only difficult thing was working out which side of the road to stand on for the bus but I recommend using the Moovit app to plan any bus journeys and learning how to say 'where is the bus stop to Santa Maria' (mind you, in Paestum we were told the wrong side but luckily someone saw the 2 of us standing on opposite sides and came to the rescue) If you want to see Castellabate, there's a local bus that goes from the car park by Olivers on the square nearer the beaches that only cost €1.20 each. It's worth visiting for the views. Just check the bus times as they're rather infrequent. There are plenty of restaurants all within walking distance. We ate at Pibaro 3 times the pizza was that good! Nautilus is also amazing, but it was very quiet being a Tuesday evening in September. The garden is beautiful, and we wish we had brought/bought bug spray to enjoy it more - next time Breakfasts were lovely, and I don't know how Alfonsina manages to cook such perfect cakes each day! The coffee angel also comes and delivers endless coffees, too ☕️♀️ I feel so fortunate to have stayed in such an amazing place for my first trip to Italy. I hope we can come back next year ❤️
