Hotel Villa Romana is located in the heart of Minori, in Via Vittorio Emanuele 90, in a strategic position that will allow you to easily move on foot to explore the village and the surrounding beaches. But how to reach it? Here is all the information you need to organise your trip to the Amalfi Coast.

✅ By public transport

The cheapest and most practical way to reach Minori is by bus. From Naples or Salerno airport, you can easily reach the railway station, using the Alibus service or flat-rate taxis, and from there take a SITA bus to Minori. SITA buses run frequently (every hour or so) and will allow you to admire the stunning landscapes of the Amalfi Coast on the way.
Purchase your ticket in advance via the Unico app or at authorised retailers. Once in Salerno, you can buy it at the newsstand in the station. The stop for Amalfi is just outside the station exit: the platform on the right.

🔹 From Salerno Airport: Take the Salerno Airlink shuttle bus or a taxi to Salerno city centre. From here, take a SITA bus direct to Minori.

✅ By ferry
If you prefer a more relaxing and scenic journey, you can reach Minori by ferry from Salerno. This option is particularly recommended in the summer months, when traffic on the coastal road can be heavy. The ferry trip will allow you to admire the beauty of the Amalfi Coast from a unique perspective. You can take the ferry from Molo Concordia, which is about a 10 to 15-minute walk from Salerno station.

Keep in mind that the SS 163 is very scenic but also narrow and winding, so driving requires attention: proceed with caution, strictly respect the right and try not to use your smartphone while driving.

Things to see on your doorstep
As we have already told you, you are in a great position to travel easily to the other beautiful destinations on the Amalfi Coast.
However, we advise you not to miss out on the most interesting attractions in Minori, which is characterised by its quiet, peaceful alleyways and some unmissable little gems, which we recommend below!

📍 The Roman Maritime Villa

Given the name of the Hotel, let's start with the monument par excellence of Minori: the Roman Maritime Villa.
It is located less than a five-minute walk from your hotel and we absolutely advise you not to miss it, as it immerses you in Minori's ancient history, revealing the splendour and refinement of Roman life on the Amalfi Coast. This majestic residence, built around the 1st century A.D., was a true architectural jewel, with rooms decorated with frescoes, mosaics and stuccoes depicting scenes of daily life, gods and landscapes.

At the centre of the villa stood the magnificent triclinium-ninphaeum, a luxurious room for banquets and social gatherings, where Romans would gather to celebrate and socialise. The baths, with their sophisticated heating systems, offered an oasis of well-being and relaxation. Today, visiting the villa, we can still feel the atmosphere of this magical place and imagine the life that took place there. The antiquarium, attached to the villa, holds a precious treasure trove of archaeological finds that allow us to reconstruct the history of this place and its people.

📍 The Hamlet of Villamena

If you love slow, meditative walks to discover the authentic essence of the places you visit, we recommend a pleasant excursion to discover the Hamlet of Villamena.
From your location, proceed along Corso Vittorio Emanuele to the crossroads leading to the Minori cemetery.

At the crossroads, turn left and walk up Via Cesare Carola, taking one of the steps you will find on the way up. Along the way you will see the sign to reach the church of San Gennaro and Giuliano, which is located in the small square of the village of Villamena.
This slow ascent will lead you to this quiet little village, where time seems to stand still.

The church overlooking the square dates back to the 10th-13th centuries, with an architectural layout of evident Byzantine influence, later reworked in the Romanesque style. The interior, characterised by three naves and an apse, still preserves the original medieval structure, although enriched by 18th-century Baroque decorations. The Romanesque columns, partly incorporated into the pillars, and the barrel and cross vaults contribute to the evocative and solemn atmosphere.

The Oratory of Santa Maria delle Grazie, communicating with the church, features a single barrel-vaulted nave and rich Baroque decoration: externally, the dome features eight niches and a lantern, giving the building an elegant and refined appearance. If you proceed along the small road that leads off to the opposite side, you proceed to the town of Ravello, a route we highly recommend, because it offers very beautiful views and leads you first to the equally picturesque village of Torello, and then to Ravello, from where you can enjoy a spectacular view of the entire Amalfi Coast.

And you are also close to:

📍 Sentiero dei Limoni, which we talk about in this article
📍 Maiori, which you can reach on foot
📍 The Church of Santa Lucia: you will find it in Via Santa Lucia, a few metres from the hotel

🎉 Things to do nearby

You are about 300 metres from the bus stop and about 500 metres from the pier where you can catch the ferries to travel to both the eastern and western sides of the coast.

In other words, you are free to do whatever you wish, with total ease, without stress and without wasting too much time planning public transport connections.

✅ For example, by bus you will reach the town of Amalfi in about 15 minutes.
From Amalfi, you can decide to walk to nearby Atrani, or proceed to the iconic Positano, which you will reach in about 35/40 minutes by bus or ferry. In addition to visiting the most iconic destinations, you can indulge in many unforgettable experiences that will enrich your holiday with emotions and memories.

✅ In our opinion, an absolutely unmissable experience during your stay is a relaxing day on a boat. For example, from Amalfi, you can take part in a tour with an aperitif and snorkelling, which takes you to the discovery of paradisiacal corners and breathtaking views.

✅ Prefer something that gets you moving? A kayak excursion to discover the hidden caves of the Coast will thrill you!

✅ Would you like to discover authentic and genuine tastes? In Tramonti you can treat yourself to a unique experience inside a vineyard, learning all about the techniques of processing native grapes and tasting wine and local delicacies!

🗓️​ Events not to be missed

Minori offers its visitors two fixed events, which represent a bit of its essence and soul.
✅ Gusta Minori
The first is Gusta Minori: an unmissable event for lovers of good food and local culture. This summer festival, which usually takes place between the end of August and the beginning of September, transforms the town into a stage where music, theatre, art and gastronomy merge into a unique, unforgettable experience. Through the streets of the historic centre, performances, tastings of typical products and gastronomic stands offer a journey through the flavours of tradition. A unique opportunity to savour local specialities and immerse oneself in the festive atmosphere of Minori.

✅ Devotion to Santa Trofimena
Another event of great importance to the community of Minori is the festival in honour of Santa Trofimena, the patron saint of the town. Celebrated three times a year (5 and 27 November, 13 July), this feast is a moment of great devotion and popular participation. 13 July, in particular, is the most heartfelt date, with celebrations involving the entire community.
The procession, the music, the fireworks and the stands animate the streets of Minori, creating a magical and evocative atmosphere.
If you are lucky enough to be in Minori during this period, don't miss the opportunity to participate in this festival rich in traditions and to live an authentic experience.

📌 Not to be missed if you are staying here

✅ A taste of liquor at the Gambardella patisserie
Hotel Villa Romana is located very close to Pasticceria Gambardella, a historic pastry shop in Minori.
Its delightful little terrace, overlooking the street, is a pleasant sitting room where you can taste not only delicious traditional pastries, but also liqueurs, made with great care.

The classic limoncello is excellent, but the concerto and the agrumino (citrus liqueur) are also delicious.
Also recommended if you want to buy some typical products to take home when you return from your holiday.

✅ A plate of ‘ndunderi at La Botte
Not far from your hotel, about 150 metres away, is another historic restaurant: La Botte, located in the alleyway of Santa Maria Vetrana.
In addition to the excellent pizza, we recommend you ask for a plate of ‘ndunderi minoresi: they are a local speciality, which this restaurant prepares in an excellent manner.
