Maria and Federico were everything that you'd expect of Italian hosts. Friendly, warm, and hospitable, and they went out of there way to meet us in the lower part of town to escort us directly to their beautiful home. The apartment far exceeded our expectations. The outdoor shower, a kitchen stocked with the basics (ie. espresso, pomodori, finnochio, and olio), and a bowl full of local limoni made for the perfect welcome. We had a beautiful balcony overlooking the quaint and charming town of Minori. Don't let the 300 steps discourage you... it is a fairly easy and an absolutely beautiful walk through the lemon path. Plus, if you climb 300 stairs everyday, you have more excuse to indulge in the deliciousness of Minori. De Riso, which awaits you at the bottom of the lemon path, had the best morning mimosas and cornetto con nutella. Ristorante Giardiniello, also a short 10 min walk from the apartment has one of the best seafood pasta meals I have ever had in my life (and this was my 8th time in Italy). One suggestion: take advantage of the amazing ferry service in and out of Minori and avoid the hot and sweaty Sita Sud. Ferries run regularly... and instead of a windy and somewhat nauseating 45 min bus ride from Vietri sul Mare, you can hop the ferry in Salerno and get to Minori in ~ 40 mins (for 7 Euro). The views of the Amalfi Coast from the sea can not be beat!
