21 Jun 2012 Nancy, USA
This is the best hostel in Europe, Must walk up to Lauritano castle, beautiful views. If you take the hike down 1000 steps to the beach, beware Santa Croce beach stairs access is closed, when you reach the lowest road, walk on road towards Amalfi coast and after you pass a convenience store, steps leading down to another beach. From this beach can take a water taxi to Santa Croce beach or Amalfi to catch a bus back to the hostel. "Path of the Gods" hike starts in Bomerano, beware the bus times to Bomerano, last one in the morning is 9:30am, we missed it but owner of hostel was so nice to give us a lift, and told us about a lemon factory in Bomerano and good pizza place.
Hostel Overview
The crystal-clear blue water of the Tyrrhenian Sea- one of the most famous of seas- and the green balsams of Mount Faito on the outermost edge of the Sorrentina Peninsula provide a stunning setting for Agerola's youth hostel. There are numerous possibilities for daytrips along the Amalfi Coast. Positano and Amalfi are famous for their beaches and also for their history and culture. Sorrento can also be reachable from Agerola and don't forget to visit the nearby Emerald Cave.The Youth Hostel in Agerola (San Lazzaro), 650m above the Amalfi coast, was one of the first A.I.G. Hostels to open in Italy. Since 1949 it has occupied the original stables of the gatehouse to the long gone Castel Avitabile (1791-1850). The building itself is of historic interest as it is a Protected Building. Only the inside has been renovated, creating the Hostel and the Guest Rooms (2008), both of which have full bathroom facilities, living areas and lavish kitchens. The main Piazza and bus stop are directly in front of the building and behind and to the sides is the Campsite, with four large, grassy, shaded zones, fully equipped for tents or campervans.
