Bellisimo!
We are a couple with a 1 year old and we visited in low season at the end of March 2019. The villa is every bit as beautiful as seen on the photos. We travelled to various destinations along the Amalfi Coast and can honestly say the view from the villa was the best view we saw. As it was low season and temperatures were lower the pool was not in use. It does say this in the advert however if I could make one recommendation it would be to have the pool in use if it is heated. We use our hot tub at home in England more so in colder months because it is heated. It was not a major issue as we still enjoyed ourselves drinking wine on the patio, taking in the stunning views and enjoying the complete silence. All three of us (including our 1 year old) enjoyed the best sleep due the complete silence. The villa does have a bbq however we did not see any charcoal in any of the local stores we visited. So again this could be an optional extra that could be provided as an added touch. It may be the stores do not stock charcoal at this time of year and we enjoyed cooking inside and found ample pots and pans etc. I just like to provide constructive feedback that may help the owners improve service is all. Location wise, we found the villa perfectly located for the things we wanted to do. It sits somewhere in the middle of Sorrento and Positano. 20 mins to Sorrento and about 40 mins to Positano. As mentioned in other reviews the drive down to the villa from the village road is VERY steep. I actually found it fun but would consider myself a very confident driver. More nervous drivers/passengers may find it difficult. I would recommend hiring as small a car as possible to make it easier but we had a fairly large car and had no issues. It is this drive that gives the villa its perfect location, nestled on the hillside so you can't have one without the other. Pasquale, the concierge, we found to a lovely, charming man and very helpful. He attended the villa early each morning to take away the trash. We never sawheard him, the trash was just taken each day. He was very helpful in booking things for us. He organised our tickets to Capri from a local village which we found very helpful. It was closer than Sorrento and less busy. I recommend this boat trip, which goes around the island and the guided tour of Capri. All in all we had a fantastic time and will definitely return to this exact villa!!
