Travel and getting there

Getting to Ascea is quite easy by road and especially by train. Arrival by train is recommended since the station is on the mainline from Salerno, Naples and Rome and offers a good way to avoid traffic and also save on environmental pollution.

We offer a free pick-up and drop-off service to/from the station to the agriturism for those arriving by train.

By Train
This is most convenient for anyone with access to mainline stations along the Rome-Calabria route. Check the train times here.

By Ferry
Ferries can be taken to Acciaroli (10Km from Ascea) from many places along the Amalfi coast. We offer a pick-up and drop off service for just €20 each for 2 persons.
