    I would like to get some advice for renting a villa on the Amalfi Coast for a few weeks in June. I don't speak Italian so I am a little hesitant about doing it. So, I want to know if it can be done without too much trouble.

    Recommendations or tips for getting good value for a villa ( with a terrific view! ) would be very helpful from anyone who has rented one in the past. I look forward to your suggestions.

    Thanks!

    Not being able to speak Italian doesn't make it impossible, but you may find that some of the people who take care of the villas, or live nearby, or even taxi or bus drivers do not speak english.

    I wouldn't be overly concerned, but it would help considerably if you were able to speak "a little" Italian so that you can get by. If you can, make an effort to learn important phrases such as for directions, and asking for things. And be sure to bring that Italian-English pocket dictionary. It will definitely help you out.

    We rented a villa in Praiano, just south of the Hotel San Pietro, through rentvillas.com. We watched the sun rise over the Mediterranean each morning from bed. We had a roof-deck and a terrace where we drank wine and ate fresh Italian food under a large olive tree - all overlooking the water. There is easy bus service into Positano and down to Amalfi and Ravello - or cabs are very easy to get. There was a little grocery store at the foot of our hill and, when we left at the end of the week, they all gave us hugs. Many, many steps! Wonderful experience.
