The Unique Benefits at this House

.the apartment was very spacious and really nicely decorated with Lucia's personal touch...not sterile dorm room fare that many of these apartments have...Lucia obviously took pride in creating a comfortable and homey atmosphere for her guests...

...the outside terrace was a wonderful place to have breakfast in the morning and dinner at night..it faces a beautifully kept garden and was a peaceful oasis at the end of a busy day of sightseeing...

    • We just got back from a three week trip to Italy. Two wonderful weeks of that trip were spent at Magnolia house. The apartment was generous in size for two and would easily accommodate four. It has a large, wonderfully equipped kitchen opening onto a covered terrace which looks out onto a nicely landscaped yard overflowing with blooming flowers and lemon trees. The living room is large and comfortable and opens onto a terrace with partial view to the Gulf of Salerno. The location is central to Sorrento, Positano and sights and rugged landscape of the peninsula. There are shops and restaurants within easy walking distance and marked hiking trails are accessible for walks throughout the area. We walked to Sorrento - about 1200 feet in vertical drop over about two miles or so - a great walk with wonderful vistas. Our stay was overseen by owners Lucia and Francesco - a warm, generous and attentive couple who provided a welcoming of wine, pastries and fresh flowers and followed up with a prepared meal for one of our dinners. We ended up having dinner with them twice during our stay - once with us doing the cooking and another with Lucia doing the honors. We would highly recommend Magnolia House to anyone who wants to experience life on the Sorrentine peninsula in a really relaxing atmosphere.

    • January 3, 2009 We loved our stay at the Magnolia House! The generosity of Lucia and Francesco with gifts of kindness over the Holiday Season (late December 2008) warmed our hearts. We loved Lucia’s baked goods and the holiday candies. The gnocci lunch brought by Francesco was a tasty treat on a gray day. We used the herbs and lemons provided from Lucia and Francesco’s garden to flavor our food. One of the family cats, “Chocolato”, kept us company and adopted us for the week. Our trip to the town of Sorrento with Lucia was an added “bonus”. We walked daily the four blocks to the center of the town of St. Agata for our fresh fish, groceries, fresh pasta, native fruits and vegetables and freshly baked bread. Being in a small Italian village allowed us to savor their charming way of life, including the local “ristorante” specialties. Staying at the Magnolia House and being the guests of such a warm and generous family afforded us the opportunity to “mingle” with a special Italian family for the week. No question, of all the countries in the world, best to do this in Italy! As for the house itself, it was tastefully and comfortably furnished and fully accommodating. The location was excellent in that afforded us to take day trips to Amalfi, Pompei, Ravello and Positano as well as being just a few minutes from the heart of Sorrento. We would highly recommend the Magnolia House to anyone visiting this area of Italy. In addition, visitors should consider the winter months to see this area since the weather is that of a Spring day, the costs are low and there are no herds of tourists jamming the streets and attractions. We would certainly come back! Bob Kaufman and Rosalind Roseinmann Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA

    • A friend and I just returned from a wonderful week in Sat Agata at Lucia and Francesco's lovely apartment. We had an awesome time and Lucia was extremely helpful to us on everything...we even had access to the internet which was really helpful in looking for information about restaurants and local attractions...she also arranged for 2 wonderful boat trips which were the highlight of our stay..one to Capri and the other to Positano and Amalfi...I would highly recommend these tours by a local company in Nerano..they came and picked us up at the apartment and returned us there after the tour... ..the apartment was very spacious and really nicely decorated with Lucia's personal touch...not sterile dorm room fare that many of these apartments have...Lucia obviously took pride in creating a comfortable and homey atmosphere for her guests... ...the outside terrace was a wonderful place to have breakfast in the morning and dinner at night..it faces a beautifully kept garden and was a peaceful oasis at the end of a busy day of sightseeing... ..Lucia also has another apartment next door to Magnolia House which is adorable as well.. it was really nice to be in a peacful town like Sant Agata rather than in the busy city of Sorrento...however, Sorrento was easily accessible by local bus which saved the hassle of finding parking in the city... all in all, we had a wonderful time and I would highly recommend this lovely apartment to one and all...Heather Laschinger and Elizabeth Webber Canada

    • We just returned from our stay at Magnolia House. It was charming, with beautiful gardens. Lucia and Francesco could not be more hospitable. She arranged for us to visit Capri, Amalfi and Positano and it worked out beautifully. The area is accessible to all the tourist areas and after a tiring day of sightseeing, it was wonderful to return to Magnolia House. We would return as soon as possible. Our week at Magnolia House turned out to be the best of our three-week trip to Italy.
