This is a fantastic property, but there are a few issues I wish I'd been aware of before booking.
First though, the views, location, privacy, and gardens more than make up for the "cons" I'm mentioning below. So if these issues aren't deal breakers for you, then don't let it stop you from booking this incredible home.
Ok so LOTS of stairs, but that's typical of the area. The strangest thing about this house is that there are two kitchens - both outdated, and both inconveniently located. The first is in the house, but on the bottom floor, far from the living areas. The second is outside - upstairs and across the yard from the pool. This makes getting coffee or snacks or cold water very inconvenient from inside the house. If you are planning to eat out for all of your meals then it's not a big deal, but it was definitely annoying at times. We found ourselves looking for items that were in the "other kitchen" that required quite a hike to obtain.
Also, while there are loads of espresso cups in both kitchens, there is no espresso machine, just the small stovetop coffee pots, which are inconvenient to use. The outside kitchen has an old, basic coffee pot, but honestly for the rental price this house should have a small espresso machine in each kitchen. You can buy them for around $100 and it would make life and mornings easier and more enjoyable for guests.
That being said, Tano recommended a bar down the street that had amazing cappuccino and pastries - and incredibly cheap. The owner Marco is friendly and efficient and also has a delicious pizza place up the street where we ate several times - also on Tano's recommendation. Tano suggested some restaurants up in Ravello that were fantastic, and also set us up with a number for a boat that we hired for the day to tour the coast. Side point - Tano is a fantastic property manager and every single thing he recommended was top notch.
Another issue to be aware of is the pool. It's shaded all day and freezing cold, but the most important issue is that the tile stairs leading into it are very slippery and one in our party fell on the way in and had a huge bruise as a result. There is a railing, but you still need to be extremely careful getting in and out.
We enjoyed the fresh figs, grapes, and plums that were ripe in the garden, and there was wine left for us in the mini fridge, which was also nice. I'd stay again, but hopefully with coffee next time.
