Casa Vacanze Nonna Raffa

If you're driving into Amalfi, be careful about the parking lot number you’re given. Ours was supposedly “Andrea Parking,” suggested by Mrs. Maria, though it could apparently be called something else next time. She distanced herself from how this Andrea guy operated, saying she didn't know, but the whole thing felt like a setup. They seemed friendly and helpful at first, then quoted one price, changed it, and changed it again to a much higher amount. They wanted cash and gave no receipt. I'd use an actual parking lot listed on Google instead, such as “Luna Rossa” just outside Amalfi. As for Nonna Raffa, it's right in the center of Amalfi, which is a great spot, but be ready for lots of stairs to get there. I'd suggest packing light. The place was fairly clean, comfortable, quiet, and had WiFi, air conditioning, a hairdryer, kitchen, towels, bathrobes, and other basics. The pillows were terrible, though. The lady and her daughter were very kind and helpful. That's all I have to add about the stay apart from the parking advice. We paid €254.40 for two nights, June 1-3, plus €105 for parking. Next time I’d choose a hotel that includes parking.

From the house, there's a lovely terrace with a view over the hill, and you're right in the center of Amalfi. The furnishings are simple but new, and both bathrooms are well equipped. Mrs. Maria was kind and helpful.

We spent four days in this welcoming vacation home and found it spotlessly clean. It's right in central Amalfi, a short walk from the sea and a handy base for exploring the town. I highly recommend it.

A comfortable place in the heart of Amalfi. We had a wonderful stay and were met with warm hospitality, courtesy, and helpfulness.
