Fabulous villa with large pool and private access
Fantastic villa in a fabulous position with outstanding views. It was very spacious with plenty of outside eating areas. The pool was large and deep - I couldn't stand up at all so beware if you have small children, but was perfect for diving and getting in some serious lengths. It was well equipped. Walking distance to a number of good restaurants and we had a free boat ride to one further along the coast. The only downside is the drive, very steep and narrow with no space to turn at the end so you either have to reverse in or out. Best to have a small car.
great position on the Amalfi Coast
The property is unique and welcoming. Host Frank was great to deal with, the house is homely, best features being the direct sea access and lovely pool. Plenty of outdoor living and comfortable indoor areas, With a daily clean making life easy. Highly recommended.
Gracious living
It has been three years since we stayed in this remarkable villa and our time there continues to resonate with each of us as one of the most wonderful trips in our lifetimes.
We were just 50, my mother 75 and our daughters 18 and 12.
Everyone in the area knows the Villa and Frank. All are delighted to extend their best hospitality.
There is the sea, the fisherman, the seafood, the wine, the art, the lemons, the walks. Ok, I may have burnt out the clutch of the rental car on my 106th attempt to back up the driveway, but in all other ways our time was charmed and casually glamorous.
Frank is a kind and caring host, calling us on New Year's Eve to wish us the best. We then watched fantastic fireworks from the terrace in our pajamas and shot proseco corks over into the sea.
We ate delicious meals at the tiny waterside restaurant in Praiano, we shopped in Positano and cooked gorgeous meals for ourselves with the gatherings of the day.
Even now, even tonight, we prefer to eat every meal out of dishes we bought just up the road.
Thank you, Frank. Your beautiful home lives on in our hearts and memories. We wish you and yours all the very best today and every day.
(We visited over New Years 2014)
The VERY best on the Amalfi Coast and maybe all of Italy
Three couples, all celebrating our 50th wedding anniversaries spent a delightful week in this magnificent villa perched high above the sea on a secluded cliff. It is impossible to describe all the amenities this home provided: gorgeous views of the sea and nearby Furore, tranquil relaxing moments on one of the three patios, breakfast on the covered porch adjacent to the dining room, easy access to all the coast area for dinner and our daytime adventures. Often we chose to stay in for the evening just to enjoy the beautiful sunsets and watch the sea crash against the rock cliffs. Teresa prepared for us a fabulous fish dinner and we appreciated listening to her nephew read from Dante in Italian. We had traveled to the Amalfi coast twice before, but this home was an experience to never be forgotten. Special memories- and worth every cent.
Wonderful and unique Amalfi villa
We had a perfect week in this villa at the end of August, wonderful villa with great access direct to the sea as well as a great pool.
Highly recommend asking Teresa to cook for you, they were the best 2 meals of our entire stay!
Everything was clean and in good order with the outdoor areas also cleaned every day of our stay.
Especially liked Il Pirata restaurant close by, as well as our day trip in Ravello, not to be missed.
Can't wait to return.
Absolutely beautiful!
We spent the second half of our two week vacation in Italy in Villa La Madonnina. Look no further! The villa is just as portrayed in the pictures. We had 4 adults and 2 children in our party & the accommodations were perfect. The views are unbelievable! The location is perfect for day trips to the neighboring towns. Many of the restaurants were closed when we were there, but the all of the ones we visited were outstanding. Frank gives excellent recommendations and Luca (son of the local grocer) is happy to give suggestions also. We purchased local seafood and made dinner ourselves in the villa. The kitchen is well equipped and the supply of local wine is great too! Teresa keeps the villa spotless! You will not be disappointed with this beautiful villa. Get in touch with Frank today!
