VILLA DETAILS
Scaletta is nestled on a hill with dramatic views over the sea. Ideally located to explore the Amalfi Coast, its position also allows guests to relax and to observe the hustle and bustle from a peaceful spot. The outdoor area of over 600m2
is spread over several terraces and gardens, each with wide panoramic views of the coast and the deep blue sea.
A staircase leads from a private parking lot up to the villa. Shaded by a pergola guests can enjoy the first panoramic terrace with sitting areas and a well-kept garden. Then twelve steps lead up to the ground floor of the villa where there is a sitting area with wicker table and armchairs, a spacious living room with views of Amalfi and two large double bedrooms. Both bedrooms have minibars, TV and en-suite bathrooms, which are colourful held in blue and green ceramic tiles. Each bathroom has a shower and a hairdryer.
The first floor is accessible externally climbing some steps and entering another large garden terrace. A superb fully equipped kitchen with marble top invites guests to cook delicious meals which can be eaten on the huge dining table seating twelve people. The pool is on this level as well. From the kitchen a corridor leads to an elegant bathroom with Jacuzzi tub, ceramic tiles and a large basin on a wooden base, to a living room furnished with antique furniture and a double or, on request, twin bedroom with TV and access to the terrace.
On the other side of the corridor there are two double bedrooms with a shared bathroom with shower.
The top floor is reachable directly from the garden through a staircase. It holds a solarium terrace, which is furnished with wrought iron tables and chairs and offers stunning 360° views.
Seven steps lead down into the romantic attic accommodation for two guests; a dining room with a small kitchenette, a bathroom with shower cubicle and the master bedroom with sloping ceiling and the antique furniture complete this stunning villa.

MONEY MATTERS
Travellers cheques are widely accepted for exchange or purchase in major cities, but in more rural areas, visit a bank to exchange them for Euros. Major credit cards are widely accepted here (though a limited number of merchants have American Express accounts) and ATM access is widespread. Exchange currency only at authorized outlets such as banks and hotels, and exchange only what you think you will spend in-country. Coins cannot be reconverted on departure. Save all receipts from any currency exchange transaction. You may be asked to produce them when you exit the country, and they are required if you intend to reconvert local currency.
TIPPING SUGGESTIONS
You are not expected to tip on top of restaurant service charges, though leaving a small amount is common practice. If there is no service charge, you might consider leaving 10%/15%, but it is not obligatory. In bars any small change is left as a tip. Tipping taxi drivers is also not mandatory but suggested.
