Our recent stay at Villa Due Marine was spectacular! When we arrived it was sparkling clean, very bright and cheerful with breathtaking views of both marinas and everything in between! At night the lights from Capri were captivating including the lights that lined the Phoenician steps directly across from the villa on the mountain side.
We slept very comfortably, enjoyed morning coffee and the early mornings on the terrace. The artwork throughout the villa was amazing including the beautiful rustic ceiling lanterns that captivated us long before we arrived, we saw them in the photos on the site. We were so happy to have a detailed explanation of the origins of many of the pieces we admired including those gorgeous lanterns that we were so sure were Hebrew, but are not!
Thank you to the owner for the thoughtful descriptions and history of many of the villa’s pieces, we really loved all of it. We had a fun time trying to guess where the owner might actually be from or where they might live when not in Capri based on all of the artwork.
We appreciated the coffee maker, the iron, ironing board and the washer. Although we tried not to use it much, the AC was very efficient. The many flights of stairs leading to the villa were concerning at first but we are athletic and in great shape in our 60’s so this actually turned out to be a great workout for us a few times a day, we have honestly missed them.
Last but not least, Nadia [the caretaker], a wonderful host, hardworking and available to help at any time of day or night. She greeted us at the bell tower in the piazza upon our arrival, arranged porters to handle our luggage at check in and check out, which was beyond the most helpful task of all. She walked with us all the way to and from the villa and even helped carry some of our carry-on luggage!
She checked in with us several times throughout our stay to make sure we were doing okay and to ask if we needed anything. Nadia also made many recommendations for restaurants which we gladly accepted. Every recommendation was exceptional!
She spoke beautiful English and her spelling and grammar were spot on in her texts. She is lovely, hardworking and truly enjoys what she does. We are very grateful to her. We had an exceptional vacation in Capri and at Villa Due Marine. Tutti Grazie ‘ Summer In Italy ‘ , the owner of Villa Due Marine and of course Nadia! Thank you for everything!
