Railway Station in Vietri sul Mare: Actually, Vietri sul Mare has a railway station nearby (less than a kilometer away) the bus stop in Piazza Matteotti (where bus number 68 stops). Unfortunately, there are very few trains stopping in Vietri sul Mare, but you can give it a try, if you wish...

Taxi: It is strongly suggested to avoid ordering a taxi between Rome Airport and Rome Railway Station: it is very expensive because of the distance. A taxi ride between Naples Airport and Naples Railway Station should be around € 20.00 (ask before getting on!!!) and from Salerno Railway Station to Hotel La Lucertola should be around € 12.00 (again, ask before getting on!!!).
