Amalfi Coast, Salerno Gulf, Tyrrhenian Sea
When we chose the hotel, we were guided by the following considerations:
-not too big and not too small
-not quite party and not quite chamber
-not quite beachy and not quite pompous
- nice interior
-private beach with free towels and umbrellas, still open at the end of September
- appropriately comfortable air and water temperature at this time of the year
-half board
-colorful surrounding landscape
-panoramic view
-proximity to the village, where you can go to the promenade
- acceptable price-quality ratio
and somehow it turned out to be Chetos in Chetara - he met all our wishes. Of all the coasts, we chose the Amalfi (we also considered Liguria) as the most beautiful - the views are breathtaking! Its small towns (Positano, Praiano, Conca dei Marini, Amalfi, Atrani, Minori, Maiori, Cetara,
Vietri) are located in the gorges of high mountains, sprawling gardens along their slopes. They are unusually romantic and picturesque, Sorrento is much larger compared to them, located on a rocky platform, many of its beaches are pontoons, because the coast is sheer cliffs, a hidden resort town. Salerno is a fairly large port city with a beautiful promenade - in general, boat trips are a must. All this can be read on the websites. That's when we looked at the pictures - they began to rave right - only there! Then there was the painful choice of the city of stay - they rushed between Sorrento and Amalfi, and as a result they chose Chetara, by and large because of the hotel. Chetos is located essentially on the road, as you saw in the photo - as if stuck to a rock, so there is no territory, only a beach. On the road is its parking lot and an elevator that takes you downstairs to the reception, restaurants and rooms (of course there are stairs to the Falalella restaurant and the reception).
The elevator descends without fail with a stop on the 3rd floor - there is a reception and banquet restaurants (weddings are often celebrated there). Restaurants for tourists: on the 2nd floor - dinners (the same Falalella), on the 0th floor - breakfasts, access to the beach on the 1st floor (there is also a gym and a spa). We arrived quite early, at 11 o'clock and were immediately settled on the 1st floor in room 224 at the very end of the corridor. It should be noted that all rooms have a sea view. At first we were a little disappointed when we saw under our balcony not the sea but the thatched roof of the spa, but then this trifle disappeared into everything else - the room was wonderful, clean, with white furniture, with a huge bed next to the balcony, lying on which you can watch for hours to a magnificent sea panorama with white yachts. balcony with table and chairs, shutters on the doors. The floor is tiled. Wardrobe, TV (instructions for tuning Russian channels are somewhere on the table). There is no safe in the room.
The bathroom is fully equipped (we had a shower), there are a lot of towels, they ask you to throw them on the floor if you want to change them. Room cleaning is daily. Breakfast - European - buffet - scrambled eggs, cheese, sausage, yogurt cereals, pastries, fruits, juices, coffee and tea (if you want cappuccino - you need to tell the waiter - they bring it personally, for free). Dinners (we took half board) - on the restaurant terrace (you can also inside) - choose from a menu of 2 options (fish (seafood) or meat) - pasta, main course and vegetables, and dessert. Drinks at dinner - for a fee (wine - 3 euros a glass bottle, espresso 1.5 euros (20 g), cappuccino-americano about 4 euros a cup, water - 1 euro glass)) - You are closely served by the waiters. You can arbitrarily dine on the menu - though I don’t know the prices. We really liked the way they cook there - very tasty, at a high level. It didn't happen again in a week. Pasta with seafood is the height of perfection, desserts are delicious, Wine is good, especially red.
Fruit was not included in our menu, probably it could be ordered separately. The waiters are very polite and efficient. And also as a bonus, a nature show at dinner - the moonrise from behind the mountains over the Gulf of Salerno is an unforgettable sight, so dine on the terrace (I'm afraid that you won't see this from the Cetara restaurants). You can replace dinners with lunches - just say, for example, in a restaurant that you want this, but you can’t do this every time, just change all dinners for lunches). The hotel charges a daily service fee of EUR 1 per person.
Next to the hotel is the stop of the Sita shuttle bus to Amalfi (45 min ride) and Salerno (30 min ride) (you need to walk a little forward towards Salerno, raise your hand - it will stop). Tickets can be bought at the reception (2.5 euros for 45 minutes, 3.8 euros for 90 minutes, there is for a longer period of time), the punch is next to the driver, there are a lot of people on the bus, if you want to sit, go to the bus stop in Cetara.
Chetara - a wonderful little fishing "village", popular with wedding (and by the way, with everyone) photographers - remarkably colorful. In the evenings, the local population gathers in the square near the beach - they just walk around. There is also a small park, benches, you can sit and stare. Naturally, cafes. There are no special clothing stores - that is, there is no shopping, everything else can be bought (for example, a liter of water is 1 euro, a kilo of three hundred different fruits is 2.5 euros). You can walk around the village in an hour, you can stretch the pleasure - there are 2 main long streets - as if along the bottom of the gorge, the rest of the streets are mostly stairs. You can get to Chetara right along the road in about 7 minutes (of course, with such a width of the road for pedestrians, it is hardly possible to highlight anything, but nothing is crushed). You can also climb up the mountain (up there - a cemetery and gardens, an observation deck) - how to go to Chetara there is a road up - wonderful views!
We went to Salerno (until the final one - before reaching the station on Piazza Vittorio Veneto, if you go towards the sea you will find the port - go to the end - there are ticket offices with boat tickets and right next to the information point where they give a city map for free). There are boats to Amalfi, Positano. We saw cultural values, bought a ticket for a boat to Amalfi for 8 euros and made a wonderful 30-minute boat trip - the coast is very beautiful!! ! Amalfi is also wonderful, but very crowded - a very large flow of tourists, on the way back to Cetara we barely squeezed into the bus. The roads are a continuous serpentine, naturally not very wide, so if you want to rent a car. keep this in mind - the turns are steep, the height is very decent!
In general, we spent our main leisure time on the beach - sun loungers, umbrellas and towels for free. The beach is private, small, pebbly, there is a shower with fresh water,
that we went to rest after intense 7 days of sightseeing in the cities of Italy. therefore, the quiet Chetara suited us perfectly, if someone goes there for all 14 days, it will probably be boring.
