Magical place. We loved it.

Location, ambience, rooms views, food, staff, surrounding

Very nicely located and very nice food

It is a very calm place with a great view. We stayed at a lovely small house for two. Breakfast were very delicious, local and some parts even homemade. We took dinner one evening which was really nice acompanied with great wine. There is lovely city Cetara closeby, if you feel fit you can walk there.

Nothing I could think off. We really had a pleasent stay. The steep driveway some people were mentioning is not that bad. Roads on Amalfi cost are like that everywhere.

Located on a working lemon & grape farm, the guest house offers a more authentic italian personal B&B experience. The room was large, spacious with good air conditioning and fridge which was essential. The owner and his assistant were friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were lovely with a selection of cold meat, cheese, pastries and fresh fruit. It does have restaurant but the chef was off sick so cannot comment. The pool was an above ground type but clean, cool and well filtered. The hillside back drop and views out to sea were beautiful.

Access to the location was an adventure. We got the bus from Cetera ( local fishing village) and the 400m walk to the facility was a lake district worthy climb. You need a car, motorcycle or taxi to the location. Once inside the main gate at the car park, the steep driveway to the rooms & reception was still a feat in itself. If you are infirm or have knee/hip issues eg give it a miss! Our biggest disappointment was the general tidiness, if I was being kind I'd say " The owner had let things get away from him" . Getting a taxi to Cetera each evening (€3/person) the bin area at the gate was unsightly and litter everywhere, this was the same around the pool area. Discarded water bottles, old tables, just general disrepair and 'unloved'. The grass looked like it hadn't been cut for weeks. It's a shame because this could be a little Gem with just a bit of TLC. The owner has dogs which barked until 00.30 am right outside our room and again at 6.30am, which we found a bit thoughtless. Our 3 night stay was nice, despite the untidiness, once in the pool it had a stunning backdrop and lovely views out along the coast. The farm is a little isolated, but to be fair that's what we sought. The shuttle service offered to the airport wasn't by the facility, but ordered from a company costing €90.
