Great stay at Golden Vaults but very high up!
Spent 6 days at this property from August 13 - 19 and used both apartments. We were 2 families travelling together and the space was perfect for us. Another great feature of the property is the host Domenico who was wonderful and very responsive. The house itself is wonderful. Very modern, well furnished, great amenities. We found all the kitchen tools we needed and were able to prepare meals with ease. We loved eating on the terrace and the extendable canopy was great to keep shade. The a/c was wonderful and the wifi was not super strong but totally sufficient. The showers were amazing with wonderful water pressure.
The bottom apartment had a lot of ants but bug spray was provided so after we sprayed they stayed away. We kept all the food in the top apartments and did all the meal preparation there and we did not see any ants, only on the lower level. There is no parking on the property so we got lucky and found free street parking but we did not move the car our entire stay because we were afraid we wouldn't find another spot. If you plan to drive, you may want to find a house with onsite parking.
Location of the property is not great, especially with children or people with mobility issues. It was not very clear how far up it is on the listing but it is directly beside the entrance to the path of the Gods! It's HIGH and not very convenient to go shopping or go into town. Taxi's are unreliable and very expensive. We relied heavily on the bus but it was not ideal. It was extremely difficult to walk down and up the stairs everyday to get groceries. The restaurants are also very far away. Taxis were always busy and they were very expensive for even the shortest rides so we did not eat out often. Thank goodness for the restaurant Che Bonta with their food delivery! Despite the location we made the most of our time there and enjoyed our stay in Amalfi.
