Buses run from the airport to Naples train station and the
port (Piazza Municipio) and also to Sorrento. Taxis are also
available from the airport. From the station of Naples Piazza
Garibaldi, take the Circumvesuviana train in the direction of
Sorrento and stop at the station of Sant' Agnello. Naples has an
integrated subway, bus and tram system. Traffic is chaotic and
driving is best avoided. Naples is a large city and although the
simplest way to see it is on foot, public transport is
recommended for visiting some areas. From the port, ferries and
hydrofoils connect to the island of Capri.
From Naples, follow signs for the A3 freeway in direction of
Salerno. After 25 kilometres exit to Castellammare di Stabia.
Take the SS 146 Sorrentina. Once in Sant' Agnello square, turn
left and the hotel is 100 metres on the right.
