Amazing stay on the Amalfi Coast
Our family of six had an absolutely amazing week during our stay at Villa Luisa! The Villa itself is a gem - every detail of the home is so beautiful and the house is designed so thoughtfully, maximizing functionality and the ability to enjoy the serene panoramic views of Capri and the Faraglioni rocks on each level. We were warmly greeted upon our arrival and Luisa had prepared a lovely cake which we enjoyed with our coffee each morning. The house was very well stocked and included fresh lemons, Limoncello made with the lemons on their property, and olive oil made by Luisa as well which we really enjoyed! Luisa and her family are so warm, thoughtful and helpful. We had our own vehicle, and the location worked perfectly for us to make day trips to each town along the Amalfi Coast as well as the island of Capri, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Naples, and Paestum. What amazing memories we made which we will treasure for a lifetime!

Bellissimo! Thank you for making our family trip amazing!
Amazing property and owners. Our family (2 adults/ 2 teens) had a wonderful time at Villa Luisa. Anna was so helpful in answering our pre arrival questions, showing us the property, arranging transportation, tours and having Mama Luisa cook us our first meal in Italy. The villa had everything we could need and then some. Plenty of space, comfortable beds and amazing views of Capri. Easy walk to local market (milk, bread, etc.), 20 min. walk to Massa city center and 10 min walk to city bus into Sorrento. Highly recommend - thank you!

Perfect Stay at Villa Luisa
Villa Luisa If for just the view of the Island of Capri from the spacious porch, Villa Luisa would rate five stars. There is so much more. Our party of six adults were very comfortable in the three excellent bedrooms. The Villa is very clean, modern and comes with a well stocked kitchen. The host family is on property but out of sight and sound. Anna our host was a pleasure to work with answering our many questions pre-booking. During our stay she provided valuable information and suggestions about the best things and places the Amalfi Coast and surrounding area had to offer. Easy to communicate with, Anna also arranged private car transportation for us to and from the Napoli train station and Sorrento/Capri ferry. We opted to have Mama Luisa prepare our first night dinner at the Villa and it was such a treat and so delicious. In fact as the wine flowed and the courses kept coming we realized that this was turning into a dream vacation and five star + stay. We loved our stay at Villa Luisa, had a fabulous time in the area and will recommend it to all of our friends and family.

Wonderful Villa & Experience
We stayed the month of October in this really marvelous villa. The hosts are next door and have struck the perfect balance between being friendly, available for help, and respectful of privacy. The pictures are completely accurate, and the view is truly spectacular. The kitchen is very well equipped to make your own meals, but we did request a few meals from Luisa which were delicious with generous portions. The bedrooms and sitting areas (indoors and outdoors) were a great size for our party of 4. Anna helped us with several excursions and tours which we enjoyed very much. While the villa is well outside Sorrento, the bus stop is a 15-20 walk up a moderate hill, and we quickly became familiar and comfortable with using the bus system. We took the bus down to and back from Sorrento numerous times, and from Sorrento took the ferries to Amalfi Coast towns and Capri and the train from Sorrento to Naples and Herculaneum. The local market is only a 10 minute walk, and the village of Massa Lubrense is a nice 20-30 min walk down hill to excellent restaurants and shops. It's a wonderful villa and we had the most wonderful experience. Thank you Luisa and Anna !

Best Stay Ever!
This is one of most beautiful and relaxing places we have ever stayed. The view was amazing and every little detail of the Villa was amazing. The Villa was perfect! The beds were amazingly comfortable and everything we needed was there from kitchen utensils to bedding and towels. But what made this place extra special was the people from the time of the booking to arrival they had our needs cared for. Having this be our first time in Italy we were a little unsure as to how to take care of the detail but Anna helped us figure everything out. From getting a driver, to arranging tours. It was amazing! The breakfast cake that Mama Luisa made was tremendous! Then we had Mama Luisa prepared a birthday dinner and WOW what a feast! We enjoyed it for days. The driver Raffaele was great as our tour guide and driver. Worth every penny! I just can't say enough good things about this place and the people. It truly made our vacation a dream! Thank you again!!

A Magical Oasis
If you are looking for a quiet, quaint, and relaxing stay, this is the place for you. The house was incredible, very spacious with the bedrooms, sitting area, kitchen, and the outside terrace is breathtaking. I also have to say that the level of support and assistance that we received from Luisa and her daughter, Anna was unprecedented!! They not only stocked our fridge with snacks and drinks, they also went out of their way to help us plan our entire trip with a driver, itinerary, excursions, etc. I also have to say that we were SOOO thankful that Anna was available when we arrived at the house around 1am as our flight was delayed. Luisa and Anna are just so nice, accommodating, and helpful it will truly be hard to go to any VRBO after this! We appreciate you both and look forward to visiting again soon!

Wonderful villa in quiet area close to Sorrento
My husband, two kids (age 20 and 18), and I spent 4 nights at Villa Luisa and had a wonderful time. The villa is lovely. It was perfectly clean and well supplied. We felt safe and at home. The view of Capri is spectacular and there are several outdoor sitting areas from which to appreciate it. We enjoyed home cooked food prepared by Luisa upon our evening arrival. It was such a treat to enjoy locally prepared food like this. There was plenty to last a couple of days and it helped make the villa feel like home. We loved the wine and homemade limoncello and olive oil as well. Anna was very communicative in advance and met us upon arrival to give us a tour, etc. She also helped us with dinner reservations and transport. Luisa helped us in advance of the trip to secure spots on a boat trip to Capri which was truly the high point of our vacation. It was comforting to know we had this kind of help available to us. This area is very crowded with tourists at this time of year, but this villa is located in a quieter area, though still not too far from Sorrento. We really liked that aspect of our stay. I would definitely recommend this location, this villa, and these hosts. Wouldn't change a thing!

Incredible Visit
We had a beautiful 4 day visit at Villa Luisa. Luisa and Anna are incredible hosts that treat you like their own family members. Definitely arrange for Luisa to cook for your family if at all possible. The food was delicious and ingredients fresh from her garden, it lasted us for 3 days. Anna gave fantastic recommendations for tours and arranged transportation whenever we needed it. The Herculaneum and wine tasting, as well as the private boat tour day of the Amalfi coast were so dynamic I would 100% follow any recommendation she gives on any excursion you are interested in. Rafaelle one of the regular drivers we had is like your long lost Italian uncle who is full of passion and excitement for all things Italy. He along with the entire village of Masa Lubrense will definitely show you what a kind and generous people live in the region. We cannot recommend this property enough to all of our friends and family.

An absolute delight
The villa is lovely - nicer in person than the pictures show. Anna could not have been more accommodating or communicative. She welcomed us with the most beautiful cake baked by her mother and a variety of goodies. The house is well stocked and very comfortable. The patio is just glorious to sit out and admire the most beautiful view of Capri. The pool is a welcome relief on a hot day - and aircon at night is just a blessing to help you sleep. Nothing was too much trouble and Anna offered guidance on local boat services as soon as I asked. She even offered to go to the pharmacy when my son wasn't feeling well. I cannot recommend this house enough - so relaxing and lovely. Extremely clean and well cared for, with a kitchen clearly used by people who love to cook with every appliance and convenience. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy a little slice of paradise for the week.

Long awaited family vacation
Villa Luisa was the perfect ending to a fifteen day stay in Italy for our family. We started out in Rome and Florence, and finally ended up in Massa Lubrense for 8 days to finish up our much awaited Italian vacation. The location and views of Capri from Villa Luisa were perfect for our family. We were a family of two parents and four grown children ranging from 22 to 27 years old. We were able to spread out and enjoy the pleasure of three beautiful bedrooms each with private baths. And by the way, the Villa was beyond clean! It was spotless, and extremely welcoming. Luisa and her daughter, Anna made our stay a true pleasure! Anna made arrangements for taxis, dinner reservations, and daily excursions a full service perk! She took the worry and stress of making our own arrangements away, which allowed us to just relax and enjoy our time together. Another fringe benefit was the incredibly, refreshing pool. Summertime in Italy is hot, and the pool was a perfect end of the day treat to enjoy some pre-dinner cocktails. There was also a grocery market in walking distance of the villa which we frequented to get fresh cheeses, meats, vegetables, and fruit. We cooked two dinners in the villa because the kitchen was stocked with homemade olive oil and everything we needed to create a delicious homemade meal using the local sources and products. Villa Luisa created a wonderfully, memorable family trip which for our family will treasure always. Molto apprezzamento e grazie!!

Beautiful Villa
My husband and our friends(another couple) and I spent 10 glorious days at Villa Luisa. The accommodations could not have been better. The home was well stocked with all essentials and Luisa and her daughter, Anna, made sure we had milk, bread, fresh fruit from their trees, wine, Prosecco, cheese, cake. The rooms were large and spotlessly clean. The beds and bedding were wonderful. They even came in halfway through our stay and cleaned, changed linens and left us another breakfast cake. There was plenty of outside areas to relax and enjoy Luisa's gardens and the pool. Our morning view of Capri will stay with us for years to come. We did opt to have a dinner prepared for us the night we arrived. It was spectacular and plenty for 2 days. There is a bit of road traffic, but with all of the other plusses, who even noticed. Would stay here again if we return to southern Italy. Also, small market and great restaurant within walking distance. Thank you Luisa and Anna for a perfect stay!

What can I say "Wonderful"
There was only one downside "The Weather". And you can't control the weather. The pictures of the villa does not do it justice at all, its beautiful. The views are breathtaking. The villa was spotless and lacked nothing. It was the most equipped unit that I've ever stayed in. There were two couples and we had plenty of privacy and space. It could easily have accommodated 3 couples easily. 3 bedrooms with 3 baths plus more. Lots of outside space, unfortunately with the weather we had we could only enjoy the outside 3 days of the 7 days we were there. Anna (Luisa's daughter) was fantastic. Anna arranged all of our excursions and transportation. The driver and guide we has were all excellent. We had the same driver from the time he picked us up in Naples until he dropped us off in Naples. As with the Guide, he was with us on 3 occasions, Pompeii, Naples and Capri and was super. The of evenings we went to restaurants and couldn't walk, Anna arranged for the restaurant to pick us up. There is also a restaurant that is within a 5 minute walk and it is fantastic. We went there twice. Groceries were also a 5 minute walk. Lastly, the day getting there was long, we asked Luisa to prepare dinner for us and it was excellent. Enough for left overs for another dinner. Also we asked Anna to stock the villa with some supplies and it was all we needed..The only things we went to back to the store for was water and wine, a lot of wine. We would go back in a heart beat...

Incredible Stay!!!
We had the most AMAZING stay at this beautiful home! The pictures don’t even do it justice! The views from every patio and balcony are amazing, the house is spotlessly clean, the beds were super comfortable and the home has everything you could possibly need (blankets, towels, cookware, etc). Anna and her parents are SO nice and welcoming. Anna booked a driving tour of the Amalfi coast, a visit to Pompeii and a boat excursion to Capri for us, along with airport transfers and taxi services. If you can book ANYTHING she has to offer with the driver Rafaelle, please do! He made everything so much fun! There’s a restaurant and convenience store within walking distance of the home and a bus stop nearby. All of the excursions we booked through Anna picked us up and dropped us off at the home, so that was nice as well! We also requested that Luisa cook dinner for us the night after our boat excursion and it was DELICIOUS! I wish we had done that earlier in our stay instead of at the end because it was so much food we couldn’t finish it all, so I had meatballs for breakfast on our last day because they were so good and I didn’t want to waste them! Lol. Luisa also made us a delicious cake that was waiting for us on arrival, and they also provided limoncello and olive oil that they make themselves (along with some wine, pasta, water and coffee so you don’t start off your stay with bare cupboards!) which was much appreciated after a long travel day. I cannot wait to return to Massa Lubrense for another stay at this wonderful home! Thank you Anna, Luisa and Rafaelle! It was an unforgettable experience.

Stunning Stay in Sorrento
This property was jaw droppingly beautiful. It's in a super peaceful area that's a short drive from the heart of Sorrento. There's a great restaurant walking distance and a great little super market / shop that's nearby as well. This house is huge and so well maintained. It was absolutely spotless and so welcoming - even upon getting there it was so nice to be greated by the family, including Luisa, who lives in the place next door - and have Anna and her daughter be so thorough in showing us around. They were all very hospitable and Anna was fabulous for communication, including directions and suggestions of where to go around town. It was just my husband and I for this trip, but we've already told our other friends about it that if we were to go back it's the perfect place for 3 sets of couples, or 3 individuals travelling together because ever room is spacious and every room has an en suite bathroom that's fully equipped. And this place is huge so you can easily find your own space on a trip where you're traveling together. For us, this was the perfect way to finish our holiday and honeymoon. It was incredible to light a candle and sit outside in a beautiful part of the world and a beautiful family home you can tell they take a lot of pride in.

Fabulous holiday with superb hosts
On our arrival to Villa Luisa we knew that our week in Italy would be everything we hoped it would be. We opted for our hosts to prepare an evening meal, a very wide choice of amazing food, and just as we thought we were finished she arrived with a BBQ feast, enough food and wine to last over 3 days! Hospitality was first class, they made us feel welcome, comfortable and relaxed. Best stocked villa based on our other Vrbo trips all over world, spotlessly clean, large space for us to enjoy. Exceptional outdoor areas for eating, chilling to soak up amazing views of Capri. Anna provided ideas for days out. Booked our winery visit Bosco De Medici in Pompeii (recommend). Sadly, on our last evening one of our party slipped and fell on way back to Villa. This ended with a fractured femur, operation, and 12 days in Sorrento hospital. At the scene, the locals helped with blankets, umbrellas, water, they called an ambulance. Anna came immediately, accompanied me to hospital in ambulance. Anna dealt with hosp registration (I don’t speak Italian), avoided me being sent to Naples hospital. Anna, now known as ‘Saint Anna’’ looked after all my needs, while recovering, and updating my family. Nothing was too much for her. We shall never know how we can repay her kindness and hospitality, during this nightmare. Her mum Luisa did my washing. A truly amazing person, we had the privilege to meet and we know we made a friend for life! Bravo!! 😍

Very clean and spacious. There were about 4 different outdoor patio areas! We definitely would like to stay again. It’s worth being in Massa Lubrense for the peace and quiet.

Eccellente! Altamente raccomandato!
Villa Luisa is stunning and the direct view of Capri is beyond words. The villa itself was super clean and well stocked with housewares that afford the creature comforts of home. The bedrooms were comfortable and each with a full bathroom. It was a perfect arrangement for a girl's trip to Italy. I can't say enough about the hospitality of Anna and her mother Luisa. The were very helpful in arranging transportation, tours and general information. Always friendly and welcoming! My reasoning for not giving full stars in the location rating, is only because of the remote location. If you are looking for relaxation, this is your place. If you are looking for a bit more action, you might find this place a bit remote. Public transportation was a savior! The bus stop is a short walk from the tabacchi where you can purchase your bus tickets from the lovely store keepers. Alternatively, there is a short path, 10 minute walk into Massa Lubrense center where there are excellent restaurants and gelato! Taking the bus into Sorrento (20 minutes) opens the world. From there, we were able to take the train to Naples, the bus to Amalfi, Positano etc. and the ferry to Naples, Capri and the Amalfi Coast. Overall, this property is highly recommended as 10 Stars!

A Perfect Place with an Amazing View where you are treated like Family
In the week we spent at Villa Luisa we never got tired of the view of Capri from our patio or the warmth we received from Luisa and her family during our stay. The villa was just what we were looking for, a good location for discovering the area and a place where we could relax and reconnect with our friend and her family from the Czech Republic. The house was perfectly set up for us with a bedroom and bathroom on the first floor and two bedrooms, each with its own bath on the second floor for our friend, her husband and their twin 14 year old boys. Plenty of space for everyone! We contacted Anna, Luisa’s daughter, before our arrival to set up a boat tour to Capri and a tour of the Amalfi coast. The boat tour was the twins favorite activity. We didn’t know when we booked it that they had not been n a motor boat before and had we known we would have booked a boat tour instead of a driving tour to the Amalfi Coast. Although we found the Amalfi coast tour very interesting, the boys were a bit bored with all the driving. Other activities we enjoyed in the area were walking, hiking and swimming. On arrival Anna had baked a lovely breakfast cake. The kitchen was stocked with some food items to get us started, including bottled water, milk coffee and wine. There is a small grocery store within easy walking distance that had everything we needed. We had dinner at the nice restaurant that was just up the road and the night the boys wanted pizza, Luisa called the local pizza place for us and her son-in-law drove our friend’s husband there to pick it up. We assured them we could drive since we had a car but they insisted since it was dark. The villa was well equipped with everything you could ask for and the washing machine made it perfect as our stay at Villa Luisa was in the middle of our month long trip. If we ever find ourselves traveling to this area again we will definitely stay here again and I’m sure be welcomed back with warm hugs! Thanks Luisa, Anna and family for a perfect stay.

Everything we could ask for, and more!
Our stay at Villa Luisa was wonderful. The villa was spotlessly clean, extremely well maintained, and had absolutely everything we needed. We requested dinner made by Luisa on the night we arrived, and as others have said, we had enough for 2 nights. There was also coffee, milk and juice in the fridge which meant we could just relax the first day instead of going out to pick up groceries. Luisa's daughter Anna made all of our reservations for our tours. We took a boat tour to Capri, hired a driver to take us to the Amalfi Coast, and visited a local lemon farm. I would rate them all 5 stars as well. We were picked up at the villa for each one which made the days completely stress free. The prices of the tours were very reasonable as well. Luisa is so friendly and helpful. She even moved our laundry rack under cover while we were out because it started raining. Anna told us to bring beach towels from the villa with us for the boat trip, which was a nice touch as we were not travelling with towels. I can’t say enough good things about our stay at the villa. I would definitely stay there again!

Amalfi Coast Oasis in the Hills
Host Luisa and her husband live in the adjacent detached property on site. Luisa is a truly wonderful host. You are welcomed with such warmth and a daily morning daily morning beaming smile. There is a genuine desire to ensure you are equipped with everything you need to enjoy your stay. Luisas English was way better than my Italian, but using Google translate really helped with communication. We had a fantastic stay here, thank you Luisa. Property Beautifully 3 bedroom, all en-suite property with small outhouse that has a sofa bed and en-suite shower room securely co-located up a shared driveway. Million dollar view of Capri is difficult to beat. Location Via Spito, Annunziata, a hillside oasis away from the tourist hustle. But close enough for easy access. It is an advantage to have a car. The bus stop is a 10-15 min walk.

Viilla Luisa was amazing...We cannot wait to return!
Villa Luisa was bellissima! Luisa was there to meet us for check in and Anna arranged all transports and activities. The home has incredible views and plenty of amenities and space for all 7 of us. The pool provided great relief given the 90' temps. We enjoyed every moment and look forward to returning. A big thank you to Anna and Luisa!

Great place
We had a great stay at Villa Luisa. The place is even better that the pictures. We were 2 families of 4 and we all have a fantastic time. The kid love the pool. We ask for the home cook meal on the first night and it was really good and so much that we had it again next night. Ana organize 2 boat tours for us, to Capri and to the Amalfi Coast and we loved then both, from the pick up with Vicente to the capitan of the boat Andrea, all was perfect. We highly recommend the place and it has also space to park 2 cars. You can’t ask for more. Thanks Luisa and Ana for all your help!!!…Awesome time!!

Exceptional and Authentic
Villa Luisa is a truly special place. The Villa is immaculate and very comfortable with spectacular views of the hillsides, Naples Bay and Capri. Another reviewer commented that the Villa is even better than the pictures, and that’s absolutely right! The Villa provides all the necessary creature comforts and is perfectly equipped, while maintaining an atmosphere of authenticity. The family who owns the Villa is lovely. Luisa, Anna, Luigi and Sophia were all incredibly kind and helpful. Massa Lubrense isn’t one of the main tourist towns, but it’s proximity to Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi worked out very well for us and the location in the hills made for evening breezes that were very pleasant. While we were here all of Italy was in extreme drought and heat wave but the Villa was comfortable and the AC works well. We loved Massa so much we extended our time here in lieu of enduring the heat in Tuscany. One evening while we were relaxing on the terraces at the Villa, the local church a few hundred meters down the road hosted an outdoor concert. The sound of the choir across the hillside was moving. We would highly recommend Villa Luisa for your trip to the Amalfi region!

First time to Italy
This property is a gem in many ways. The home itself is laid out in a way that everyone can have their privacy and also enjoy time together. Every room has a view and a terrace and its own bathroom, which means no one feels like they have to settle for a less optimal room. Additionally, the home has a very comfortable sofa bed in the living room if a family needs an extra bed. The pool is a great treat and nice gathering place in the heat of the afternoon. The grounds are lovely - full of flowers, herbs, and greenery. We had Luisa cook for us on our first and last nights, which worked out perfectly with travel fatigue and preparation. The table was set beautifully, the food was delicious (first, second, third courses with desert) and graciously served. Anna took such great care of us. We had some travel difficulties as many people did this year, but Anna helped us figure out how to get our luggage, arranged all of our transportation (even when we had a last-minute change of mind about an activity), gave us dinner recommendations for Sorrento, checked on us daily to make sure we were doing okay, and made us feel at home and secure. Rafeale was an excellent driver. Anna scheduled him for us, and he was always prompt and full of information about the area. We did not rent a car, and I was glad because the traffic and the roads would take some practice to maneuver safely. However, the expense of getting around was unexpected and payment was expected in Euros, not credit card. I would just say be prepared for that because we kept having to find an ATM to get out Euros. When I go back, I will know how to budget for it, but if you are going for the first time I would suggest talking with Anna about your plans. She can help you estimate transportation costs so that you are prepared. Overall, I cannot say enough good things about the property, the hosts, and the excursions. They were all excellent.

Beautiful, spacious home with amazing views
The house was beautiful it felt more like a home than a holiday rental it had everything you could want and more. The views of Capri were amazing. We took a recommendation of the host Anna, preparing dinner for our first night when we arrived. it had been a long day so was lovely to just relax at the house and enjoy the views on the patio and have dinner cooked for you. The food was amazing and delicious, it actually was enough food for two days, so we’ll worth the money, highly recommend it. We took a boat tour, which Anna kindly arranged for us, to the island of Capri which we would also highly recommend. While on the island we went to the Blue caves, which was a lovely experience and we were lucky as the queue was very short. We recommend going up the mountain on the chair lifts, great views and a great experience. There was a restaurant at the top were you could get food and drinks. Positano and Pompeii are worth a trip. Highly recommend Villa Luisa, couldn’t say anything bad about it. :)

Truly magical
My boys are in the pool, it's sunset and they are being very loud. A bellyflop contest is taking place. The youngest wins and the older starts yelling at him. The woman that owns the villa appears. Thinking that she is approaching to tell us to quite down instead turns on lights over the pool, smiles at us and encourages the playful chaos to continue! This property is special. Unbelievable views including a giant balcony off the master. Plenty of room inside, nice bathrooms and spacious kitchen. Endless outdoor space. Walking distance to a market and great restaurant. 15 minutes by car to Sorrento, beaches, and plenty of other small towns. The family that owns the property is very accommodating and friendly - wine in the fridge, baked dessert on the counter, and a few Coke's just in case upon arrival. This was truly a special experience. Notes - you need a car. Bring bug spray - sunset the bugs bite. The best beach near by is Marina di Puolo. The best bakery is Roxybar. Enjoy dinner at the family owned Restaurante La Torre One Fire. Note when you arrive, drive past, turn around in the bend, then pull in. Took us half the trip to realize this. We hope to return soon!

Absolutely amazing!!!
Luisa and her daughter, Anna, are so welcoming and friendly. Villa Luisa is absolutely amazing and breathtaking! Everything was spotless, the beds were comfortable. The villa is very spacious, luxurious yet functional and well stocked. Luisa even made a delicious lemon, chocolate pound cake for our arrival. The views are breathtaking. You look out onto the isle of Capri. We spent a lot of time on the terraces because the weather and the view are so beautiful. We are a family of 6 and we had more than enough room. The kitchen has everything you could need in it. All the rooms have air conditioning but we barely used that because even in June there was a wonderful breeze with the windows open. Anna set up a boat and land tour of Capri for us that was amazing and she set up a car tour of the Amalfi Coast that was amazing! She also set up transportation for us from Naples to the villa in Massa Lubrense which was perfect! We cannot say enough good things about Villa Luisa, Anna and Luisa! They made reservations for us at a restaurant called La Torre which is just a few minute walk. Absolutely delicious!!! There is a grocery store just a few minutes walk that we were able to get everything we needed. This place is like heaven on Earth! We would love to go back again! Stay here, you will not regret it!

Beyond Fabulous!
I can't say enough about the perfect stay we had at Villa Luisa! Luisa, the owner, and her daughter Anna helped make our trip memorable. My husband and I brought my daughter and her two 19 years old sons to Italy for the first time and my daughter said her favorite memory was the night we arrived at the house. It was magical with Capri off in the distance and the beautiful landscape. Luisa offered to prepare a dinner for us the night we arrived and it was delicious!! She's a wonderful cook. Anna is a travel agent so she found us excellent guides and drivers for our tours of the Amalfi Coast and Capri. She also was available for any other issues that came up. I loved that it was in a quiet area away from busy Sorrento. We could hop a bus down the road from the villa and be in town in 20 minutes. The accommodations were beautiful and immaculate. The house have everything you need to be comfortable plus a pool to cool off in after some pretty hot days. I chose the villa because it had so many positive reviews and they were all totally correct. Actually it was even better than we expected! Thank you Luisa and Anna. You are the Best!!

Stop looking and stay here……
The house and the host were over the top perfect. The villa is spacious, clean, and has everything you could need. The views from the terraces are spectacular! The location is peaceful and quiet. And the host was available and helpful with all questions. I stayed at the villa with a group of 6 friends for 2 weeks. The villa is a perfect location for day trips all over the Campania region. The host helped us set up guided tours to both Pompeii and the island of Capri that ended up being the highlights of the trip. We also had two home made dinners made by the host that inspired us and left us with some great left overs. There is a Michelin star restaurant and a small grocery store just a few minutes walk away. There is a also a village that is a 15 minute walk away that has a marina you can swim in, a few great restaurants and shops, and some great local character! I will definitely be back in a few years with my family. I was sorry to leave!

Louisa is wonderful
The property is as described very comfortable and roomy for 6 people. The kitchen is well equipped. The bathrooms were very nice and we never ran out of hot water. The internet worked well with only an occasional drop-out. The air conditioning worked very well in all rooms. The property was immaculate when we arrived and Louisa cleaned after the first week and again immaculate. We had her cook 2 meals. They were very good and reasonably priced. There is a small grocery a short walk from the property where we got all our food and wine needs met. Louisa's daughter is a travel agent. We only used her suggestions for one tour that worked very well. I wish we had done more with her and less on our own. The only downside to the property is it is a distance from town and since we did not rent a car we had to hire a driver for all excursions. I would stay here again if I were ever in the area.
