We stayed with 9 people and everyone had lots of space to relax. The local coffee shop and bar was great. The resident cats were fun to hang out with too if you miss your pets back home
We thought the house and grounds were lovely. Beds and bathrooms were comfortable, plenty of hot water thanks to the on demand water heaters. I really enjoyed being able to use the fireplaces! There was plenty of firewood and I think it helped with keeping the gas heating expense down. Really enjoyed the stay!
True Italian experience. House found up twisty, turning streets to quiet area in a quaint Italian village. Enjoyed the local coffee bistro/village gathering place. Best coffee found in two weeks.
Good access to local sites. We really enjoyed the back yard
The villa was amazing and the property was soooo beautiful! The host was very gracious and inviting. We understand that we were the largest group who have stayed there and also stayed the longest. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there in the village. So glad we were able to have a fire in the fireplace. We used the one in the kitchen/dining area. We thoroughly enjoyed the backyard as well! We would highly recommend this beautiful property!!!
Quiet time after the hustle and bustle of the Costa Almafitana
We were a group of 12, 3 families. The house had plenty of space for all of us and a wonderful garden for the kids to play. The views were outstanding. We loved the vibe of a quiet town after the busy time exploring Costa Almafitana and to experienced a period house. Near the town there was a great local restaurant making our dinners tasty and easy! Great value for money!
The house is old and very impressive, The garden is "wow" ! Big, cultivated and wellcomming. Roberto is very nice and cooperative and the price is fair. Calvanico is a bit far for those who travel amalfi area, But if you don't mind driving - it's nice and quiet. For the price we paid, It was an excellent choice ! Thank you.

Would not book again but would be ok for large family
Was clean but needs new cutlery & drawer that can be pulled. Ants were an issue on the kitchen counter. Overall we found the ad misleading. Too many stairs for seniors & mothball smell.
We wanted an authentic Italian holiday and staying at Villa Mimosa certainly provided that. My grandmother was born in Calvanico which is how I picked this location. The property was full of charm and we especially enjoyed our time in the garden. Once we got accustomed to driving in Italy, and down the narrow street that led to the villa, it became 2nd nature. A car is a must to stay here. The villa is a short drive to Salerno where you can easily take the train as we did to Naples or Rome or wherever you’d like to go. The property owners went above and beyond to help us out when our luggage didn’t arrive and when the washing machine stopped working and seemed very willing to answer any questions we had about the area. Hope we find our way back again one day!!
Fuimos un grupo de 7 a pasar una semana teletrabajando y visitando la zona desde la Villa.Hemos podido trabajar, dormir y cocinar cómodamente disfrutando del jardín y de la barbacoa.Respecto a la movilidad, bien comunicado con Salerno, Nápoles y otros núcleos turisticos por autopista.Es un lugar muy tranquilo, tanto para relajarse y desconectar como para trabajar en paz.Repetiríamos sin duda!
4 familles réunies pour les vacances d’été à Proximité de Naples et de la côte Amalfitaine.
Maison de village ancienne, très propre et bien entretenue. Seul bémol, l’humidité des murs dans certaines pièces.
Accueil au top.
La maison est très belle. Elle est agréable à vivre. Les chambres sont spacieuses Les cabines de douche sont trop petites. Et il manque un peu d équipement : plus grande cafetière, verres à vin, fond de cuisine, ....
La douche froide pour le gaz en partant. 200€ pour 6 jours. Rapporté à 150€... Mais ça semble exorbitant.
Roberto a en revanche été très à l écoute et très disponible. Un peu cher malgré tout, au total...

Hi Emilie,
I'm sorry for this review, about heating you used 100 mq of gas, we took the gas number at check-in and check-out.
In Italy, due the war, the price is doubled, at the moment I pay it 2 €/mq and you received a discount on the cost.
Regards
Nous avons apprécié après notre visite de Naples.. pompei...cote amalfitaine ..capri... de trouver avec cette maison le calme... un très joli jardin pour se reposer..et assez d'espace pour nous tous qui étions 4 couples... Merci aux propriétaires très sympathiques .
Das Haus ist sehr schön und geräumig und auch sehr git gepflegt. Es hat einen großen und schönen Garten in dem man sich auch bei heißem Wetter unter großen schattigen Bäumen gut aufhalten kann oder auf der großen Wiese in den vorhandenen Liegestühlen auch sonnen kann.
Uns hat nicht nur das Haus sondern auch die Ortschaft gefallen. Es gibt in der Gegend noch so viel zu sehen und zu entdecken, dass wir gerne wiederkommen wollen!
Die Fasulos sind sehr zuvorkommend, freundlich und über die Maßen hilfsbereit.
Auch, wenn wir nicht zur optimalen Reisezeit, die unserer Einschätzung nach wohl im Frühsommer oder späten Frühling liegt in diesem haus waren, so haben wir doch eine sehr schöne Zeit verbracht. Das Haus selbst ist wirklich schloßartig und sehr weiträumig der Garten mit seinen Ausmaßen lädt gerade in den Abendstunden zum Verweilen ein und ermöglicht viele Tier und Sternbeobachtungen. Auch das Naschen von Maulbeeren und Mirabellen kann so manchen Morgenjoghurt schon zu einemHighlight werden lassen.
Die Küche ist vollständig zweckmäßig eingerichtet.
Ein gemütlichen Sofas zum Herumfläzen im Salon haben wir vermisst. Die vorhandenen Möbel sehen sehr herrschaftlich aus, sind aber eher nicht so bequem und wer veranstaltet im Urlaub schon herrschaftliche Teegesellschaften.
Mit meinem Leibesumfang wurde es auch in den vorhandenen Duschen etwas eng.
Das Haus ist eines der schönsten in denen wir bisher unseren urlaub verbracht haben.
The house was much bigger than we expected with plenty of room for everyone. The garden is laid out in three large parcels and very well tended with a lovely green lawn. Plenty of fresh seasonal fruits (we had figs) and herbs. The elevation made for a pleasant climate after trips to the coast. Nice local restaurant. Roberto was very friendly, uncomplicated and easy to contact. He had great tips for the area. Pretty much perfect!
Wer einen ruhigen und gemütlichen Ort sucht, ist hier genau richtig!
Ein ca. 400 Jahre altes ehemaliges Küchengebäude eines alten Palazzo mit wunderbaren Ausblick und großen Garten inklusvie Feigen-, Apfel-, Granatapfel-, Haselnuss- und Walnussbaum und Tomatenbeet zur freien Ernteverfügung :-)
Mit eigenen Parkplatz vor dem Haus, der allerdings nur durch eine enge Gasse erreicht werden kann - mit großem Auto etwas schwierig, aber machbar.
Außerhalb des Sommers muss etwas geheizt werden, was extra bezahlt werden muss, aber richtig kuschelig wird es in den großen Räumen nicht. Außerdem gibt es nur Steinfußboden.
Freies W-LAN verfügbar über einen mobilen Hotspot, aber die Verbindung ist auf dem Grundstück nicht sehr stark - dies gilt auch für den Handy-Empfang (ein Dorf in den Bergen).
Eigene Badehandtücher, Wischtücher sind mitzubringen.
We spent one week in the end of August in this lovely house, for sure more than100 year's old, where you feel like visiting your beloved Italian grandparents. We had a great time having dinner in the evening in the big and green garden. You will find a lot of places and facilities to enjoy the day under the sun or under the shadow of a big trees. Be prepared to fight the mosquitos;-), as well to be offline inside the house;-), but so you can enjoy the nice and cosy atmosphere:-). The location is perfect, so we visited Amalfi, Positano (by boat), Salerno, Pompeii and Paestrum (where we stayed as well on the nice beaches there). It is exactly as it is shown in the pictures, so we recommend this house. The communication with Roberto was perfect ana always available. We have a nice and relaxing holiday, so we enjoyed it completely.
E stato molto bello in questo vecchio palazzo con un vasto giardino con alberi secolari. Ci hanno fatto respirare per qualque giorni l'aria di 18 secolo. E un posto molto romantico pieno di tranquilita.
Speriamo di tornare un altra volta.
Scusatemi per errori grammaticali ma io sto imparando vostra bellissima lingua.

house for families
Nice house, with a huge garden. Perfect for families. We rented a car and visited from Calvanico a lot of interesting places such as Pompei, Naples, Paestum, Amalficoast, Sorrento... The contact with the owner went well.
It's just a pity that in times when the weather is not so good (winter, spring) that it is not so easy to warm up the big house. In summertime this won't be a problem.

Rural retreat in a old country house with a spacious setting
We spent a few days in the villa during our family vacations in March. We enjoyed the atmosphere of the old spacious house and its rutal setting with the nice garden. Donato and Roberto are very nice and couteous hosts.
While in summer the villa probably provides a cool retreat from the south Italian heat, it was rather chilly in spring time with the high ceilings making it difficult to heat - even with the heating system and the fireplaces.
