    Dark entry hall at night. Possibly motion light not working?

    Location was convenient to busses. Our room was lovely and comfortable. Wonderful large patio overlooking lush orchards and the sea. Sergio was a fabulous host and his restaurant was marvelous. Special thanks to Natalia.

    It would have been nice if there were a kettle & tea/coffee facilities. Fridge was not functioning well. Lighting was very dim. But none of this had a major impact so we did not mention it.

    Breakfast was lovely & fresh. Hosts were very helpful, organising our boat trips to Capri & Amalfi, plus taxi to airport. Their restaurant was superb also. Our terrace was incredible & the sunsets over Capri seen clearly from the balcony are etched in our memories.

    A FAIRYTALE DREAM COME TRUE

    Where do I even begin.. just WOW. I am still dreaming of this place. You are in a timeless villa style building that is right in the absolute center of Massa. We had the deluxe double room which came with a gigantic balcony (loungers, table and chairs, sunbrella, everything.) The room was HUGE - it has an internal spiral staircase with two single beds up on the loft. The main floor has a comfy queen bed. Bathroom was perfect (and a window with a view of Capri). Having the balcony is a game changer, the sunsets were magical, mornings were peaceful (you can here roosters coking in the distance). All with a view of the ocean, mount Vesuvius and Capri! We couldn't believe it. Breakfast was very convenient and delicious. Eggs any style, bacon, salami, cheeses, fresh veggies, fresh fruits, decadent pastries ( the canolis and crossants were unreal, and omg the tiramisu). The espresso was the best I ever had anywhere in Europe (Ive been everywhere). We even brought our own Rose and prosecco to breakfast to start the day right. The restaurant itself, il Cantuccio, is top teir (farm to table) we did dinner there one night and it was incredible. It is really famous and they have another il Cantuccio in Nerano. All the staff were amazing! Natasha is a superstar and manages the whole property. The owner was great (forgot his name) he even coordinated our airport taxi pickup with a service that we also used to go back. To check-in you need to go down to the restaurant which may be inconvenient if you have lots of luggage. Send one person down if you're a couple, or leave your stuff (its very safe around there). The sign for the restaurant isn't obvious, but if your facing the main entrance of the building its to your right at the end of the road by the public balcony view point. The best part is you are right at the bus station and can go ANYWHERE for $2 euro - Sorrento (ferry to Capri, Nerano, Positano, etc.) Im still dreaming of this place...

    The location was fantastic as was far enough out of Sorrento to escape the tourists.. Sergio, Natalia Francesco and all the staff was so helpful. They assisted us with our travel plans and offered courtesy car to beach with pickup along with taking us to our next accommodation. The room was spacious with a view to die for . Loved everything about the property.

    The room was facing the main road. There were some nights that had a lively atmosphere so got a bit loud at times but nothing too unmanageable.

    The room was clean and spacious and catered for all of our needs. The staff were friendly and unbelievably helpful. The scenery just outside of the property is incredible - fantastic views, and with the restaurant just next door overlooking the sea it was perfect. The restaurant food menu was also great and again you just couldn't fault the wait staff.

    We enjoyed everything about our stay. There is a sweeping panoramic view from the windows and the deck. The apartment is spacious and comfortable. We loved the restaurant Il Cantuccio for the friendly staff, the lovely view and the lively and romantic ambience in the evenings. The breakfasts on the patio with the sea view was such a pleasurable way to start each day. The hosts were so friendly and welcoming. We loved that the town is small but lively, but not crowded like many of the cities we visited during our stay. The location is perfect for a people who want to avoid crowds. The bus stops right outside the property which can take you to Sorrento and the rest of the peninsula. FYI, getting to Sorrento is relatively easy because the EAV bus seems to come about every 20 min. But using the SITA bus system to get around to the other towns in the peninsula was more hit and miss. There is a tourist info office that gives very good info about getting around.

    Well nothing really except that there's no sign for the hotel. You have to go at the il cantuccio restaurant for the check-in.

    It's actually nice to be outside downtown sorrento. It's quiet and relax and the bus is right there so super convenient. Good and fulfilling breakfast includes.

    the bathroom and shower could be cleaner and get renewed. we had a double room without view (only a French door), which couldn't be opened or used as a window.

    the host is great, breakfast is delicious and the hotel restaurant has a great view. the room is big and has a AC. parking is 100 meter away but free, location is close to Sorrento.
