THIS PROPERTY WAS EXQUISITE! ESPECIALLY THE INFINITY POOL
Angela S. - 11 03, 2024
The heated infinity pool is definitely one of the reasons we picked this place. We could also see the sea from every room of our apartment. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The way that they walked us through the apartment and property showed their passion for the job. Last but not least, the complimentary food welcome pack and the bottle of red wine was a great surprise! It’s also a short and easy walk to Minori, and we found this town very cozy and nice. We really enjoyed our stay there.
PERFECT PLACE ON THE AMALFI COAST
BRIAN B. - 10 25, 2024
Everything was absolutely perfect. From the booking process to the excellent communication and logistics assistance of Vincenzo and others. The owner of this property also owns the Hotel Santa Caterina in Amalfi. We enjoyed a most excellent dinner in their Michelin starred Glicine restaurant. I would highly recommend it.
GREAT VALUE AND AMAZING PROPERTY AND LOCATION
Sarah B. - 10 18, 2024
Just spent a glorious stay at the Albicocca property at this wonderful Pagliarulo complex. When we walked into our luxury, spacious and spotlessly maintained 2 bedroom villa we all looked at each other and said "WOW". We all agreed the space was a pleasant surprise and perfect for the price. Huge welcome pack including a bottle of delicious wine. There is great outdoor space on private patio with lounge chairs, dining table and fruit trees and breathtaking ocean views. The infinty pool is ls stunning with terrific views as well. We also walked to Minori (an easy and short walk, less than 10 minutes) where you can find everything. As suggested from our hosts, we had an amazing dinner at Michelin Starred, Glicine restaurant in Amalfi at the related property Santa Caterina Hotel with complimentary trasportation! Thanks to Vincenzo, Giuseppe, Erminia, Samantha and Andrea and AmalfiVacation for this amazing stay!
OUTSTANDING
FRANK T. - 09 29, 2024
From the communication with Samantha and Vincenzo prior to our stay to our leaving this property, everything was top notch. The two managers mentioned above responded to any questions immediately and arranged a number of taxis for us. The property is ideally located for buses and ferries as it a 10 minute walk into Minori and the views are magnificent. The property itself is very clean and well appointed and the huge terrace with bbq was fantastic. We also used the infinity pool on numerous occasions to cool off and the water temperature was perfect. When we arrived at the property we were greeted by Giuseppe who carried our suitcases up to our unit and provided us with an overview of the property. We were also provided with a bottle of water, wine and a tray full of an assortment of cookies, crackers, pasta, pasta sauce - just a cornucopia of delights. If you are going to stay on the Amalfi coast and this location meets your needs, you can’t go wrong renting this outstanding property.
AN ABSOLUTE TREASURE ON THE AMALFI COAST
ANNA D. - 08 28, 2024
The unit I was provided with was spacious and comfortably accommodated my family of 7. Wonderful amenities including a private terrace overlooking the sea and on site garage space for our car. We used the lovely pool area every day. Short walk to center of town and beaches. Above all, the entire staff was amazing and took care of us like family. A special thanks to Giuseppe who checked in with us every day to make certain we were satisfied with our stay and helped us to make reservations for restaurants, car service, etc. Our stay here made our vacation more memorable and we would definitely stay here again.
FANTASTIC STAY
Brian R. - 08 18, 2024
This is a great well managed property with everything you need for an enjoyable time on the Amalfi coast. Vincenzo and Samantha arranged for transfer service from the Naples airport, and that was very helpful. We were met at the property by Giuseppe who gave us an overview and showed us how everything worked. Giuseppe was so helpful and made himself available throughout our stay. He arranged for dinner reservations at a beautiful restaurant in Amalfi (Al Mare) and secured complimentary taxi service back and forth. He was our concierge. The view is breathtaking and the pool was spectacular after a hot day. Minori is the closest town which is an about 8-10 minute walk. A tremendous experience and I would recommend this property for a delightful stay in an amazing part of the world. Ciao!
OUTSTANDING!
JACQUIE M. - 06 07, 2024
Our house was outstanding to say the least! It was bright, open and so welcoming! Luxurious yet comfortable and we were so excited to be there. We were greeted with a basket full of snacks and a bottle of wine! Giuseppe was there to greet us when we arrived. After taking our bags up the stairs to the house for us he showed us all the amenities. He took great care of us and ensured our stay was nothing but enjoyable! He even brought us pizza and wine on our last night which we enjoyed on our deck while gazing out at our breath taking view of the sea! His kindness and generosity was appreciated by us and made our trip very special. Thank you so much! We all highly recommend this wonderful vacation spot and do hope to be back again!
BEAUTIFUL VIEW
Irene H. - 06 02, 2024
What a gorgeous place.The views from both the balconies and pool were fabulous! Communication with Vincenzo for check in was excellent. Giuseppe picked us up in Minori (nice surprise), and drove us to the villa. Giuseppe checked in on us to ensure we had everything we needed, he was very helpful. The house was clean and lots of space for 2 couples. The pool was lovely, just the right temperature. We absolutely loved the village of Minori, very nice people. The ferry was great for trips to other parts of the Amalfi coast. We are so happy that we chose the Amalfi coast and this villa to vacation in, so beautiful. We hope to return.
If it's available, just book it!
Anthony P. - 01 06, 2024
We stayed at the most beautiful place on the Amalfi Coast. Everything you read from others is true about the views. stunning. We stayed at Albiocca (a 2 bedroom house). Each bedroom had door leading to the most magnificent terrace with a view to die for. There were two bathrooms, a kitchen, and an amazing living room. we loved the view from the living room best of all - we could gave for hours while drinking coffee. You may request bedding as you wish: king bed, or twin beds for the kids. The heated pool: we have never seen anything like this in our life and we have stayed in remarkable places all over the world. The picture on the website of the woman gazing at the coast - that is REAL. We did that. There were plenty of lounge chairs, sun, and shade. The water temperature was perfect. Beach towels were provided. The people: we just can't say enough about everyone. Giuseppe and Andrea were the two we got to know best, though we always communicated via email with Vincenzo who was always great to deal with, prior our arrival and during our stay. Location is excellent. We didn’t rent a car and it was easy to get around by bus and taxi or just walking to Minori (an easy and short walk, less than 10 minutes). In Minori, which is a small and nice village you will find restaurants and shops for all supplies.. Don’t miss Sal de Riso pastry! Amalfi and Positano both easily reachable by ferry. Couldn’t have chosen better house for our Amalfi vacation. Highly recommended!
Better view than you can imagine!
Jana J. - 10 25, 2023
The listing can't grasp how truly unbelievable the view from every window, balcony, patio, porch or pool area is! We were blown away! Pool and views are wonderful! So many photo opportunities from everywhere. Enjoyed cooking a lovely dinner there. Rode E bikes up the windy road to Ravello and they allowed us to park them in the garage which was great! Overall a wonderful stay. They organized affordable and safe private driver from Naples. Giuseppe and Vicenzo were wonderful assistants, very responsive, kind and patient. Plenty of dining nearby in Minori (10 min walk/stairs)and Maiori. Collected a ton of sea glass and old tiles from the beach at Minori! Did not want to leave!! Thank you!
Excellent property! Everything was amazing!
David A. - 10 03, 2023
Andrea was wonderful in getting us settled into villa! We loved our stay! Highly recommend it. Views spectacular! Vincenzo was very responsive to any of our requests. We will definitely be back!
Amazing Property and Experience
Mark P. - 09 09, 2023
Was hard to leave this place, amazing views and hospitality. Vincenzo and Giuseppe made sure we had everything we needed and were incredibly helpful to a couple of Italy rookies. Dinner recommendations, airport/driver help, etc. The little town of Minori was perfect for us and allowed us to get around to Amalfi, Ravello, and Positano. Excellent job Amalfi Vacation, Vincenzo, and Giuseppe!
Great spot - super service
Kelly H., Kensington - 07 05, 2023
We stated at this lovely spot during a quick visit to the amalfi coast. The service was outstanding and views from the rooms and pool were amazing.
Absolutely Gorgeous!
Steven P., Ladera Ranch, CA - 07 03, 2023
The pictures - while amazing - really don't do it justice. This place is absolutely gorgeous and in an amazing location! The house was big and comfortable. The pool, the views and the outdoor areas were beautiful. And the property team was amazingly helpful. PS the 10 min walk to Minori made everything on the Amalfi coast convenient to access. Our family is definitely coming back.
Awesome accomodations!
Kathy U. - 06 16, 2023
Our family of 5 stayed in the 2BR 2BTH unit and it was very spacious and comfortable. The views are breathtaking as are the lemon trees and pool. Check-in was easy as was check out. We enjoyed Minori very much as it's not as busy as Amalfi and Positano. Taking the ferry to these locations is easy and short. We are glad we chose Minori for our base stay to avoid the larger crowds. The short walk to the restaurants in Minori on the curvy road and down the steps is easy.
Excellent in Every Aspect!
Cathy C. - 06 08, 2023
We chose Albicocca based on all the great reviews the property had and they were all spot on! The Villa offers all the comforts with a local feel. From the views, the location to restaurants, shopping, the marina, it has it all! Vincenzo provided outstanding communications, recommendations, thru our entire stay. Giuseppe was the absolute BEST, he was on-site from check-in to check-out and made sure we were comfortable and well cared for. We could give this property 10 stars and absolutely highly recommend staying here!
Spacious + FABULOUS Terrace + Friendly Staff
Marjorie U. - 05 19, 2023
This was a lovely spacious apartment with 180 degree views from a HUGE PRIVATE terrace, landscaped and equipped with large dining table, gas grill, and chaise lounges. It is a lovely walk up through lemon groves to the pool. 2bd/2bath with kitchen and dining room/living room off of which there were 3 other walkout balconies. Views and natural light from every room. Kitchen had a dishwasher and coffee machine in addition to the expected frig, oven and 4-burner gas stove; it was stocked with coffee, snacks and a bottle of wine upon our arrival, and they replenished our coffee when requested. Most apartments I’ve rented in the past won’t do this. All correspondence to Vincenzo and Samantha, property managers, were promptly answered prior and during our stay. Giuseppe who met us with the keys and to show us the apartment even took hospitality to a new level, by personally driving me down to a small market to pick up a few staples, since my driver from Naples forgot to stop us there on the way and it was raining heavily. Because we were scheduled for 7 nights, cleaning staff came in every couple of days to freshen the apartment and friendlier cleaning women you will not find anywhere.
Amazing Home Base on the Amalfi Coast
Jim O., Overland Park, KS - 05 31, 2022
Where to begin in reviewing this amazing property? So many great things to say. First, the entire team was exceptionally wonderful to work with. Vincenzo helped us arrange transport from the train station in Salerno, which worked flawlessly. Similarly, check-in was smooth and we were shown all property details, which was super helpful. The property itself is spectacular. The pool is amazing. It is peaceful, has great size and depth and the views in all directions are glorious. In addition, the lemon groves spread throughout the property provide an amazing atmosphere and the lemons, which we picked as needed for cooking and drinks, were delicious. Our specific unit was great and exactly as advertised. It was roomy, with a large living room, two great bathrooms, two spacious bedrooms and a kitchen. The kitchen has a fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine, plus coffee/espresso maker, French Press and more. The best feature of the unit was the terrace. It was huge and perfect. Again, the views were stunning. It had a nice patio table that could seat 6-8, plus deck chairs and a barbeque grill. Sitting out on the terrace and enjoying a bottle of wine at the end of a long, busy day was simply perfect. We really loved the location of the property. It was an easy walk down to Minori and its restaurants, food shops and ferries to Amalfi, Positano and Capri. We really liked Minori. It was much more low key than Amalfi and Positano, and its peacefulness was very welcome after full days in those other towns. Lastly, they have a sister property in Amalfi, Hotel Santa Caterina, which not to be missed. Vincenzo was able to arrange a reservation for us at their fine dining restaurant, Glicine, which was exceptional. We highly recommend this property as a homebase for an Amalfi Coast adventure!
