West of Amalfi
town, rising into the mountains among lemon trees and vineyards,you
encounter the historical hamlets of Pastena, Pogerola, Lone, Vettica, and Tovere.Connecting these charming villages is the 'Via Maestra dei Villaggi' in Medieval times the principal
commercial route between Amalfi and thedairy-producing
mountain town of Agerola. Walking this winding way,you find yourself in another, simpler world, where
staircase after staircasepasses among clustered
farmhouses, pastel gardens, and the warming smells of genuine Italian
kitchens -- all along the way opening onto unparalleled views of Amalfi and the lovely Costiera
Amalfitana...
 
Nestled high against the cliffs of the
stunning Amalfi coastline, Vettica
House is a small, quiet retreat among the terraced groves of a workinglemon farm.Step up out
of the bustle and clamor of cities, and relax on
the quiet balconies before a truly captivating panorama, with the famous
sapphire and emerald sea of the Costiera Amalfitana spread majestically beneath you. It is an
ideal destination for hikers,who
will find themselves right in the middle of the world-famous footpaths of
the spectacular 'Lattari' Mountains. And though
the Farmhouse itself itself is not on
the beach but rather about 300 meters above it, some of the most beautiful beaches in
Europe are accessable both by foot and by bus. .
As is characteristic of this charming region lemon cultivation, traversed
everywhere by ancient winding staircases, the only access to the Farmhouse
is a serious flight of stone steps – 270 stairs in all the equivalent of roughly 15 stories – it s a hike! so come prepared for the climb...But once at the top,
adventurous travellers seeking something a bit more unique and personal
than the standard tourist track will recognize paradise.
