Four bedroom villa with private pool near Sorrento centre

The villa has one of the most beautiful views so swimming in the pool felt like paradise. Close to many beautiful destinations. One of our most favorite was Sant’ Agata. What a quaint town. Most of all our host Carmine did not disappoint! He arranged the best trip to Capri and also recommended some of the most delicious restaurants. The true icing on the cake was the wonderful meal he prepared and the delicious pizza he cooked up! He truly was a terrific host and we cannot wait to return! Grazie molto Carmine!

This was one of the best vacations ever!

It is now a week on from leaving the villa and we are definitely having withdrawal symptoms! I could nit-pick and find some minor faults but that is to be expected with self-catering - too many people expect hotal levels of accommodation, which is unrealistic. The villa was very spacious, clean and reasonably well-equipped. All the rooms opened out on to the breathtaking views and that was brilliant on its own. 

However, what wins for us was its location, location, location! First, its hillside location afforded the most amazing views over Sorrento and across the Bay Of Naples to Vesuvius. At night, this view lit up to leave us mesmerised. It was just great to stand in the pool, leaning on the side and looking down on this sight. Amazing!

Then it was the proximity of the villa to everything you need. It was very close to Sorrento and just a 10 minute walk from the nearest bus stops and the wonderful little town of Sant 'Agata. This town has everything you might need including some of the freshest food shops and some great restaurants. We did have a car throughout our stay, which was useful with two teenagers in tow. However, if it was just the two of us we wouldn't have needed a car. With the buses so close, you can literally get anywhere on the bus or train, and very cheaply. If its just a relaxing time in a villa that you need then you certainly won't need a car as everything is in such easy reach.

Having said all of that, don't be under the impression that the villa is near a noisy road or town. This villa was in one of the most quietest locations. It is not near any busy road, no noisy neighbours or in a noisy town. The only noise you have to contend with is that rising up from Sorrento a mile away below, but even that was fascinating, to listen to the town at night and hear the buzz of its nightlife.

If walking is your thing then, again, its a great location, smack on a walking route, with Sorrento one way and Sant Agata the other. If going, pick up a walking map from the excellent tourist office in Sant 'Agata.

The pool at the villa was just great. It wasn't huge but big enough for a swim. Just to jump into the pool after a hot and sweaty day out at Pompeii was second to none. We made full use of the pool and it was used to the full every day.

Then we get to Carmine. A great character who will ensure your stay is great. He will organise almost anything. On our arrival he arranged for a car to pick us up (free!) to take us to a restaurant for lunch, which had this fantastic view across to Capri. The driver was the restaurant owner who then took us back to the villa after lunch.

Carmine organised two special events. Firstly he cooked us a wonderful meal full of the local flavours with enough to last us for the following evening. It was the best! Then he organised a private boat trip around Capri with a guy called Antonio. This was a very memorable day, regularly stopping for a swim in the sea and taking us close to all the Grottos.

Finally, Alfonso did a great job for us. His communications were quick and full of the information that we needed. He suggested this villa. We were a bit dubious at first, and it was a little over our budget, but we are glad we went with his advice. 

Just a wonderful memorable holiday in a great country where the locals were friendly, helpful and fun!

"Just a wonderful memorable holiday!"

We had a wonderful vacation.  The villa was beautiful with unbelievable views.  Carmine was terrific.  He made sure every detail was perfect and was a wonderful host (and great chef !)  Everything was arranged for us so we didn't have to worry about anything.  We visited Positano, Ravello, Amalfi, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Sorrento and Salerno.  One of the highlights was a visit to Tramonti where we had a special visit with Gaetano, toured his vineyard and had a wonderful lunch with his family.  The other was a visit to a family owned Mozzarella factory where my family made our own Mozzarella !  Overall a fabulous time and highly recommended !!  Thank you Alfonso and of course Carmine

"Everything was fabulous!!"

The villa was perfect and the way we were looked after by Carmine was fantastic. We booked boat trips, restaurants, home cooked dinners and Pizza Parties all through Carmine who could not have been more helpful. A truly relaxing way to spend two weeks in Italy and celebrate my 50th birthday and wedding anniversary with family and friends.

"The villa was perfect!"

Just back from 5 Nights at Villa Giuliapina! The pictures on the website do not do it justice! The view of the ocean and Mt. Vesuvuous  were spectacular as was the inside of the villa. We are a family of 5 and there was more than enough room.  We can't thank Carmine enough for his outstanding service from the many many questions I had before arrival to all that he arranged for us..... boat to Capri, reservations and transport to Don Alfonso (not to be missed) grocery shopping and the FABULOUS dinner he and his wife Alessandra prepared for my daughters 18th birthday it was so delicious we ate the leftovers for breakfast!!! Carmine checked in with us daily to see what we needed he even came over at 10:00pm when I blew a fuse!  The vacation wouldn't have been the same without him! I highly recommend the villa you will not be disappointed  with the villa or the exceptional service. We hope to be able to return again.
