Everything you have read is true - the views are amazing and the host, Carmine, is incredible! The villa is huge and there are so many different little seating areas both inside and outside. It is very peaceful and we found it very easy to relax here with ages in our party ranging from 10 years old all the way up to 75 years old.
Like everything in Europe, the villa is charming which is a nice way of saying that the finishing, amenities, electrical, etc. is not as modern as you would find in the USA. However, everything worked and we had no issues. Lots of bugs outside though, lol.
One of the best parts of our stay here in the Amalfi coast was Carmine, the host. He arranged so many things for us: transfers to and from the train station in Naples, private boat day to explore the coast, reservations at restaurants, suggestions on where to go, and we even had him give us a cooking lesson the first night we arrived. We were treated like royalty at the everywhere we went because everyone knows Carmine. He is like the unofficial mayor.
We can't wait to come back!
