The beach at Villammare is only 600 metres away and in the summer has lively beach cafes and facilities.  The village centre offers a small selection of bars and restaurants.  Sapri is a larger town with good train links to Salerno and Naples.  Inland, the charming hilltop village of Vibonati is lit in ever-changing colours during the balmy summer evenings.
