Villa Croce was much prettier than we expected from the photos, a very pleasant surprise. The key holder and staff were very friendly and accommodating. A few of us took the steps to the beach below, but beware of the return back to the villa after a full day of sunning and swimming. We even walked into the town of Amalfi, but again, do so with caution as you need to walk on the shoulder of a busy coastal road. We loved our stay, the views were awesome and the house was comfortable. As noted by Papavero, the house is set along the curve of the coastaly road and there is a lot of traffic but we felt it was not a reason not to rent this house.
