The Amalfi Coast has been one of Europe’s most beautiful stretches since long before James Bond sped around the winding and curving cliff edges in his Aston Martin. The warm southern Italian climate, beautiful natural scenery and sparkling sea make this place a true Mediterranean paradise. Other famous towns are not that far; ask our staff for help when organising your travel itinerary and they will be only too pleased to help.  Positano is a picturesque coastal town close to Amalfi with cute little houses and expensive shops.  Ravello is a characteristic town overlooking the Gulf of Salerno.  From here you can also see Amalfi and the smaller towns of Minori and Maiori.   Other worthwhile places we recommend visiting include: Ischia, Naples, Sorrento, Vesuvius, Capri and Heculaneum. 

How to reach us

By air:  The closest airport is Naples Capodichino which is about 70 km from Amalfi.  Upon request the hotel will be glad to organise transfer to Amalfi and the Hotel La Bussola.

By car:  From the A2 motorway follow the directions for Napoli and then Salerno.  Take the exit at Vetri sul Mare and follow the coast line for roughly 20 km until you reach Amalfi.  The Hotel La Bussola is on Amalfi’s coast close to Piazza Flavio Gioia. You really cannot miss it.

By train:  The train station in Sorrento is the closest to the hotel.  From here there are various coach services that leave for Amalfi.  The hotel is close to the Amalfi bus terminal.

By boat:  From April to October it is possible to reach the hotel by boat.  Offering a more romantic and scenic arrival into Amalfi guests can take a boat from Napoli (from the port: Molo Beverello) in front of the Piazza Municipio or from Salerno (from the port: Molo Turistico Manfredi) close to the train station.  Guests disembark close to the hotel on the Amalfi coast at the town’s port.
