VILLA CAVA by Capri Property

Posizione, vista e dimensione della villa

Andrebbero aggiustate alcune finestre e messe le zanzariere per tenere fuori i tanti insetti e altri “ospiti” del giardino

Pool. Quiet. Beautiful views.

Some fixtures and furnishings showing their age. Anacapri is great but be prepared for the taxi fees on top of your other outgoings.

Spacious, lovely garden and private path, lemon trees and fragrant flowers. Not too far from the town centre.

The showers weren’t all working properly and the washing machine door didn’t open after a cycle finished. The dishwasher wasn’t working either. There was only one sun lounger. It was also a bit musty smelling.

Location was close to main area and restaurants.

Although I typically refrain from negative reviews and tend to overlook minor issues, this stay presented more challenges than anticipated. The property is conveniently located within a ten-minute walk from Anacapri shops and public transport. It offers three bedrooms and three bathrooms as described. Host was responsive most time. However, several concerns arose during the visit. Upon arrival, the dishwasher had not been emptied; the host addressed this prior to departing. There were used towels in a basket and swimwear left behind, suggesting that cleaning may have been incomplete. Additionally, a kettle was not available, which is uncommon based on previous experiences at similar accommodations. The spare blankets had a noticeable mothball odour and did not appear recently laundered. In one bathroom, both shower heads were handheld; one was damaged and unusable, while the other was primarily suitable for bath use, limiting its practicality. Tea towels were found to be unclean. After sharing a photo with the host, replacement tea towels were provided two days later, following our purchase of substitutes. Amenities that are often supplied at comparable properties, such as a small amount of laundry detergent and pool towels (given the presence of a pool), were absent. The double doors leading outside did not close completely, though the lock remained operational. The host clarified that taxi fares are set by law and both cash and cards are accepted. However, the chauffeur service arranged by the host was significantly more expensive—approximately four times the taxi fare. Earlier awareness of local taxi pricing and options would have influenced our choice; nonetheless, this oversight was due in part to not confirming details beforehand. In summary, the property would benefit from significant maintenance and updates, as well as clearer communication on the site regarding amenities that are not included.
