Arrival & Departure Transfers
Arrivals
We offer one free shuttle with two stops for arrivals:.
From Napoli Centrale Train Station: Departure at 1:15 PM
From Naples Capodichino (NAP) Airport: Departure at 2:00 PM
If you are flying in the same day, be sure to get a flight that arrives before 1:00 PM in order to give you time to get through customs and baggage claim.
If you are already in Italy on the start date, or arrive later, we strongly suggest the train station pick up, rather than flying to Naples.
Departures
here is one morning shuttle with two stops for departures:
We leave the villa at around 7:00 AM* We arrive at the Naples Capodichino (NAP) Airport at around 8:45 AM** We arrive at the Napoli Centrale Train Station at around 9:15 AM**** If all departing flights or trains are late enough to allow us to leave later, we will leave later. Similarly, if someone has an early flight, we may leave a bit earlier.
** This will be sufficient time for outbound flights leaving after 10:30 AM.
*** This will be sufficient time for trains leaving after 9:45 AM.
If you would like to sleep in and depart at a later time, we can generally arrange it so long as we know in advance. Transportation in this case will be at your own expense. We will need to have access to your room no later than 9:30 AM for cleaning. If you make this choice, you will be on your own for transportation as we are limited to one vehicle for transfers, and our staff is spread thin on Saturdays. We can arrange a taxi for you if you are going elsewhere on the Amalfi Coast, or a private car to take you longer distances.
Private Transfers:
If you need a private transfer (for arrival or departure), the approximate prices are as follows per car for up to three people with a total of 3 suitcases, and can be paid directly to the driver. They usually accept cash only. Note that if you arrive on a late flight, and need to arrange a driver on the spot, the prices will likely be much higher at the airport.

Cancellation Policy
Cancellation Policy as of 2021:- Deposits are refundable within 50 days of booking, so long as they are made more than 180 days before the start date of the tour.
- After 50 days, deposits are no longer refundable. However, if you find someone to take your space, your deposit may be applied to them.
- All further scheduled payments are non-refundable once they are made. If we sell out the tour (including reserve spaces not shown on the website) we can move your full payment to another tour within 12 months.
The nonrefundable portions of payments are due to the fact that we are contractually responsible to pay those amounts for you at those times, even if you cancel.
