The Magnolia House was a wonderful retreat during our 3 week European Vacation. We spent our last 5 days of vacation here. It was very clean, spacious, and wonderfully decorated. Lucia was very helpful with any questions I had. This was a great location to explore surrounding areas from. It was easy to drive up the Amalfi Coast and visit Sorrento and Pompeii. I would recommend this place to anyone in the future.

Staying at Magnolia House was the highlight of our trip to Italy. Lucia is a gracious hostess, and the apartment is well appointed, spacious and comfortable. We took many wonderful meals out on the beautiful patio. We highly recommend taking a hike to Crapolla. Ask Lucia or go to the tourist information office in Sant Agata.

We stayed here for 3 nights and loved it. The apartment is very roomy and the terrace is beautiful. I would have enjoyed just sitting on the terrace and reading all day, but there was so much to see in the area. The location is close to the bus stop and town center. Sant' Agata is a lovely community. We rode the bus to Positano and Amalfi one day - a very unique experience on the narrow roads and absolutely gorgeous vistas. Lucia is a wonderful hostess. The apartment was spotless and very well equipped. You won't regret staying here!
Owner response:Dear Carole,thank you for your wonderful review! We look forward to meeting you then yet again. Best wishes, Lucia & Francesco

Perfect Home Base

Magnolia House is a jewel. It is conveniently located a short walking distance from the center of Sant'Agata's main street (access to shops and bus stop), and it is beautiful. The idyllic Italian vegetable garden welcomes you once inside the property and lines the way to your peaceful, spacious patio just outside the apartment's kitchen. The rooms are immaculate, beautifully and lovingly decorated and the place provides a comfortable, warm feeling for guests. We used Magnolia House as a home base for a week of exploring Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast. Once we got the hang of the bus system, we found it was very efficient and easy to use. We loved Stuzzichino's restaurant and had fun buying shoes from Raffaello in Sant'Agata. The people of Sant'Agata are friendly to tourists, and our hosts, Lucia and Francesco, were most gracious and helpful. If Sant'Agata weren't so far from California, we'd go there more often! Be sure to take the walk from Magnolia House up to the monastery at Il Deserto for some great views and an invigorating stroll. You can reward yourself with a glass of wine and a tasty dish at Stuzzichino's on the way back. Don Alfonso 1890 in Sant'Agata offers a world class (and very expensive) haute cuisine dining experience but if you have a special occasion or just love truly fiine dining, it's worth it. Livia, the chef's wife will personally greet you and invite you to tour the wine cellar and the other buildings that make up the estate.
Owner response:Dear Olivia, if California weren't so far from Sant'Agata, we'd go there more often! Be sure We hope however, at least sooner or later! Thank you, Lucia & Francesco

05/11/2011 - 05/18/2011 Mama Mia ! Have always dreamed of finding a Italian village and becoming a "local residents." Sant' Agata and the Magnolia House completed our dream vacation, Owners Lucia and Francesco treated us like visiting family. The bottle of local wine, two glasses and fresh pasteries greeted upon check-in. The house is a very comfortable two bedroom. Sleeps 4, and a 5th on a pull out sofa. Fully equipped kitchen, English channel TV, secure private parking. Take your laptop to stay in touch with home via the Wi-Fi connection. You live outdoors using the front and rear patios. Took many meals on the patios, plus down town reading a book. Lovely yard with flower gardens aglore. Easy walk to the grocery store, bakery, shops and resturants. Bus stop is nearby for those without a car. Drive to Sorrento, Positana and beautiful Amalfi coast road only 10-15 minutes. Exploring Massa Lubrense (municipality west of Sorrento) makes for fun day trips. The views of Isle Capri, Gulfs of Naples and Salerno are beautiful. Beach access at nearby Marina Catone. Hike to the abandon church high atop village of Termni. So much to do, so little time. Best part of our stay was the interaction with Lucia's family; husband Franceso, daughter Annalisa, son's Roberto (lives in Naples), Carlos and daughter-in-law, Elano. Lucia invited us to have dinner with the family. The property abounds with lemon trees. Asked if she made limonchello. Answer was Yes!.. after dinner. Went out in the yard and picked 14 lemons. Proceeded to peel the lemon rin zest. Lucia shared her recipe for lemoncello. Enjoyed the finished product 2 days later. Recommended resturants......Ristorante Lo Stuzzichnino across from the dummo and Ristorante Da Cardillo, just a block from Magnolia House. Go and meet the locals at the bakery at 8:30 PM awaiting for fresh baked break, 2 loafs for 1 EU. Almost forgot the family small white dog, named Nuvolo. Ask Francesco to show you how the dog dances on it's hind legs. In closing the property location description was accurate. Listing pictures represent the unit. Property is very well maintained with pride. Have and will continue to recommend The Magnolia House to family and friends. Questions ?

Our five-day stay at Magnolia House was the most memorable stop of our recent one-month vacation in Italy. The quiet and charming village of Saint Agate is an ideal location from which to explore the Amalfi Coast and Sorrento areas. The house is beautifully appointed with a fabulous kitchen and spacious garden patio. We were most impressed by generous hospitality of of our hosts, Lucia and Francesco - who provided assistance with transportation and a beautiful meal on our arrival. They went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable but always respected our privacy. Magnolia House was a wonderful place to begin our vacation in Italy. We hope to return soon.
Owner response:Dear John & Maureen, we hope you return soon, we are very happy you came to see "Sant'Agata sui due Golfi", ideal location from which to explore the Amalfi Coast and Sorrento areas. Thank you, Lucia & Francesco

We stayed one week at Magnolia House and felt as if we were 'home away from home'. Lucia and Francesco welcomed us warmly with a beautiful white wine and delicious pastries for our enjoyment. Magnolia House is spotlessly clean and the decor is very pretty. The kitchen is well equipped and the whole apartment very spacious. We had a hire car and explored the towns of Sorrento, Positano, Isle of Capri, and the many small villages dotting the hillside and coastline.We also drove to Pompeii one day and explored the amazing ruins there. Sant'Agata is a pretty little town only 5 minutes walk from the apartment.We ate at the restaurants and shopped in the small supermarket just around the corner. The views from around the town down to the coast are spectacular with blue skies and turqoise water. Thankyou so much for a wonderful stay in your apartment Lucia and Francesco, we would love to return one day and definately recommend Magnolia House as a great place to stay.
Owner response: Thank you! We look forward to meeting you again soon. Best regards, Lucia & Francesco

Our family of three arrived Magnolia House on Christmas day night when the day was rainy and cold. Immediately we received the warmest welcome from Lucia and Francesco. The home was beautifully decorated with flowers in every corner. The living room fire was burning in the fire place. Lucia and Francesco even brought out a fabulous full coursed dinner to us. Our nine-year-old son Mark loved this vacation home and rated this as his best holiday home. We spent one week exploring Sorrento and Amalfi coast. All those small villages are irresistible charming. No matter you meet locals in grocery store or on the streets, everyone is willing to ensure you have a wonderful time. It was such a delightful holiday we would love to be back any time soon. Thanks Lucia and Francesco to provide us a wonderful home at St. Agata for our 2010 Christmas.
Owner response: Thank you! I'm really happy you've come to my home! It's been great meeting you, we hope to see you again. Goodbye Mark and Sherry, see you soon, Lucia & Francesco
