After requesting to book this villa, Olimpia was extremely responsive. Her wealth of knowledge and personal experiences helped shaped an unforgettable vacation in Sorrento and the Amalfi coast.
Upon our arrival to Massa Lubreses, Olimipia and her sister Valeria were at hand to greet us, help us park our car, and carry our bags. Once we toured the immaculately clean villa. We went through the welcome book and had any immediate questions answered. My family and I immediately felt at home.
Once we settled in, we began culinary experience that I sincerely hope to return and experience again! Olimipia and Valerie’s mother cooked a tasting menu for our party of 6, which included both appetizers and formal dining on villa’s spacious terrace. The meal began with Olimipia and her sister chatting us up in the terrace lounge area, while serving us Prosecco and bruschetta. We then moved over to the terrace dining table with full service of wine and water, beautiful candle light and a view of Capri. My family was served endless plates of farm fresh produce from their property down to the olive oil and locally sourced meat and seafood. Our meal included fried sardines, meatballs, caprese salad, cuddle fish salad, octopus salad, mini pizzas, stuffed octopus, seafood pasta, and traditional regional zucchini pasta. Don’t leave without having her mother cook for you!!! It was mentioned that they are very flexible on the service format.
The villa itself had two large bathrooms, beautiful linen sheets and white cotton towels. The property includes Wifi, a washer, and air conditioning in each bedroom. In the kitchen, we were provided with a welcome baskets of goodies, traditional American coffee maker, along with everything needed to cook.
Olimipia scheduled our taxi to Sorrento, which was very professional and timely as well as a private 8-hr boat tour with Ulisse Charter (Highly recommend).
Aside from the well-appointed, serene property, which included a swimming pool, there were several lounge areas boasting views of Capri. The villa being walking distant to the spectacular Beach Club Hotel Delfino was a great benefit, to make your own schedule.
In summary my family and I we were accommodating at every turn. Olimipia went above and beyond to make sure my brother and his girlfriend secured transportation back to Rome. All of her recommendations for restaurants and excursions were spot on.
Grazi Milli Olimpia, Valeria, and the Gargiulo family !
