Villa du XIXe siècle sur côtes de Sorrento

Très belle maison au-dessus de Sorrente avec une vue magnifique sur la côte et le Vésuve. Les amis de Carolina nous ont bien accueillis et nous ont donné d'excellentes adresses. Ils nous ont rendu service au moindre problème. Au printemps, la maison doit être encore plus accueillante car nous avons eu de la neige et il faisait froid dans la grande maison.

C'est la seule réserve car nous étions six et nous avons adoré notre séjour à Sorrente.

Cette villa est tout simplement superbe et notre séjour en famille -9 personnes - fut inoubliable.

Maria Pia et Carolina ont su préserver tout le charme de cette villa familiale dans laquelle nous avions quelquefois l'impression de voir surgir devant nous l'un ou l'autre occupant des années 1800 assis dans le salon ou jetant un regard sur le repas en préparation dans la cuisine.

Lorsque nous sommes arrivés -accueillis en très bon français par Maria Pia- mon épouse a dit "c'est encore plus joli que sur les photos".

Que dire de la vue depuis le jardin! Dans le fond, Sorrento, en face le Vésuve et la baie de Naples.

Même sans climatisation, la villa reste étonnement fraîche. Il faut dire que les murs font presque 1 mètre d'épaisseur.

Merci Maria Pia de nous avoir laissé profiter de vos tomates et citrons.

I had organized a group of eight people to spend nine nights in Sorrento. This property fit the bill for our needs, with four bedrooms and two bathrooms and plenty of space. Luca met the first four people who arrived. He gave a very cursory explanation of everything, and the group ended up finding their own way down into town via a shortcut. My group of four arrived after the last bus had left (21:15) and had to pay for a taxi to the villa (36 Euros). In general, after that, we made sure to catch that last bus although we did walk up one night (make sure that you bring flashlights). Between all of us, we had two sets of keys. The kitchen and bathrooms were quite modern although the water heater on my side of the house would only provide hot water for about 1 1/2 showers, at best Also, on my side, it should be noted that the bathroom is off of a bedroom so we had to walk through that bedroom to get to it. It was not a problem for us, however, and the radiator served as a nightlight. We had to make use of the heaters as it was quite chilly. There were plenty of adapters and plugs which were helpful for all of our phones, computers, etc. Although there was an explanation in the manual of what to do if the lights went out (which happened twice), there was not one for the water heater on the other side of the house. Someone reached out to Luca and was told how to fix it. In the morning, those of us on one side of the house were sometimes awakened by the sounds of chairs scraping on the floor above. As other people have mentioned, the views were spectacular. It was also nice to be able to walk through town and to look back and see the villa on the hill. If you're looking for a place for a group who needs lots of space to move around and wants to have an authentic Italian experience, stay here. Although we did not meet Carolina, we did have the pleasure of meeting her mother on the day that we left.

We had a lovely holiday staying at Villa Castellano as an extended family of 4 adults and 3 children. There was plenty of space for us all to be very comfortable and as the nights were still cool extra blankets were provided and heaters in every room. It was possible to have all 3 children sleeping in the same room which was very useful. Staying in a grand villa was a great experience for us all and the views and sunsets were just spectacular! We spent many hours appreciating the villa's location, when sitting on the terrace or in the garden and when walking up and down the cobbled street to the town. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything we needed for preparing simple cooked meals and we found Rita (the host representative) to be very helpful in showing us where to buy food and places to eat around town. The only slight issue would be occasional noise from people living in the floors above, but this is to be expected in an apartment. Overall it was a beautiful place to stay away from the busy streets of Sorrento.

Magnífica estancia.. Perfecto para visitar Sorrento, Costa Amalfitana, Capri y toda la bahía de Nápoles.
