We were lead there by all the positive reviews on Tripadvisor and they're all correct! The view is to die for, the little -but not too little ; good choice of restaurants and bars and great beach!- town of Minori is very nice and the hosts Carmela and Vincenzo will do everything they can to make you feel at home and to make you feel on holiday (and that varies from cleaning your car before you leave, carrying your suitcase, giving you excellent tips where to go (Thank you Carmela for the church in Pompei - tip! It was beautiful!), folding your laundry, keeping your drinks cool and feeding you figs from their trees. The breakfast, the room, the view, the people : all good! Go there. PS : there's a road now that leads you to Villa Marietta ; so no more 200 (?) steps with suitcases! :-)

We stayed at Villa Marietta for three nights and had a good time. It's situated on a hill above Minori and it takes approximately 15 mins to walk the 338 steps to get there. The view is just fantastic and worth every single step. Vincenczo and Carmela are very hospitable and make your stay very enjoyable. Breakfast is fantastic and rich (especially for Italy ;) ).

You can either walk up the steps as described or take a white minibus to get there. The minibus operates every hour and leaves from the church (0,60 €). Just get off at the stop near the Agritourismo where the minibus has to turn. Then give Vincenczo a call and he will pick you up.

We have always liked visiting and discovering different places all over the world until three years ago when we came to Villa Marietta and met Vincenzo and Carmela for the first time. It is the most romantic place with the most special and friendly hosts we have ever met and this makes us coming back. The Costiera Amalfiana itself is beautiful - there is always something new to discover there - but most of all - we have a family there now. Indeed, Vincenzo and Carmela are part of our family and we will always enjoy coming back. Next time with our baby - we promiss!!! Michaela and Peter from the Czech Republic :-)

If there is a better B and B in the universe I haven't found it. One reviewer appeared to find the location and the journey through lemon groves a drawback- but these things are part of the delightful uniqueness of this place. Being halfway up a hillside that was first terraced in Roman times, hidden away beneath lemon, olive and fig trees is just about as good as it gets. The steps up from Minori are not too difficult if you take it easy. there were elderly guests staying when we did and they were able get up the steps. the whole area is like a vertical village with hidden communities hugging the steep hillsides. you can walk to neighbouring Majori along yet more steps, shaded by vines, watch the mules carrying heavy loads or grazing beside the narrow tracks. Everone greets you with a 'bongiorno.' The views of the sea and the mountains is incredible. The Villa itself is a marvellous place to stay. The rooms are clean and spacious. There are several parios and sundecks where you can relax. Tthe lovely breakfast is always accompanied by Vincenzo's stories and useful information. Both he and Carmela are delightful people. Nothing is too much trouble for them. They helped me to book a train to Rome and to find a great B and B there. Vincenzo carried our cases on his back down to the town when we left. I feel sorry for the one person who never gave this place a chance- Minori is about little tracks, hidden places, good food and fantastic people. Go there and see for yourself
