PR How much do you think it would cost to stay in a place like this?! The villa has 6 ensuite bedrooms and is ideal for a group of friends or big multigenerational family. It’s only a 4 minute drive to Amalfi Town and has some lovely restaurants close by. The villa team helped arrange our transfer from Naples making the whole trip really easy.
If you have 12 people sharing the cost, using an example in May, it would be £142pp/pn - which for this super luxury experience is very reasonable! If you’re looking for a real treat you cannot go wrong with this place. I’ve spoken with the owner and they have offered our audience 10% off - just quote THETRAVELMUM when enquiring via DM or email ❤️You can find the villa here: @villasantacroceamalficoast_
