Lella and Oliver were wonderful hosts. Check in and check out was easy, Lella even met us and our driver to ensure we found the villa easily and were able to get in quickly, with a delicious pitcher of Limonata waiting for us. The villa was completely stocked and beautiful and they provided options for us to explore around the coast with a helpful binder of information and historic details. . Pictures cannot describe the vast, amazing views of the mountains and beautiful sea. The bus stop was a quick ~100 foot walk from the villa. The pool, the accommodations were excellent and we enjoyed every minute of their heavenly villa!

We spent 4 nights at the beautiful House Oliver and loved every minute of it!
Italy and the Amalfi Coast were definitely highlights of our family's 2-week vacation which took us from Barcelona and then Seville, Spain to Naples, Rome, Ischia, and finally Amalfi. Our family of 4 (20yr old & 17 yr old) really enjoyed the home, fully functional kitchen, 2 bathrooms, sundeck, and the private pool overlooking the sea with coastal views of the nearby villages of Minori and Maiori as well as the mountains behind them.
As other reviews have indicated, we were OK walking to various villages (Atrani, Amalfi, Minori) during the day, but would always secure a ride back to the villa if it was after dark.
The hosts were great about communication both in advance of the trip and during our stay. They were always accessible if we had questions or needed. Also, the value of the pre-stocked food & drink proved incredibly valuable and convenient during our stay.
Highly recommend this location for anyone considering a private villa in the greater Amalfi / Ravello area.

We stayed for 5 nights at this lovely villa. The views are absolutely stunning. There are many outdoor areas to sit surrounded by well maintained plants and flowers. The villa is well appointed and has everything you'll need. The wonderful hosts also provide you with eggs, coffee, fruit, breads, tomatoes and snacks. One of the best parts of a stay at this villa is how wonderful the hosts Oliver and Lella are. They are delightful people who assisted us with drivers, reservations for restaurants and day trips making our stay so pleasant and easy. We would definitely stay again!

We are not sure that there are enough words to describe our stay at Oliver’s House. From the moment we arrived and were greeted by both Oliver and Leila, to be welcomed into the beauty villa we knew we were truly blessed. The villa and its terraces was even more beautiful than the pictures showed, the views of the sea right outside your door, absolutely magnificent. Oliver and Leila were more than just our incredible hosts. They made an amazing trip even more incredible!!!! On our first day we booked a cruise along the Amalfi Coast on Oliver’s boat which was truly special and a highlight of our trip. Oscar and Leila are a wealth of knowledge and suggested and arranged so many incredible outings and activities for us, all of which were amazing! Being there and getting to know them was truly a gift. The only thing we found difficult was having to leave this beautiful villa and our dear new friends!!!!! We will definitely be back soon and wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else!!!!!! 🙏❤️

Oliver and Lela were FANTASTIC. They keep a beautiful property and have several add-ones to offer that are very nice. We took advantage of having a nice selection of wine in the Villa to choose from at very reasonable prices. We also went on a Lovely private boat tour of the entire Amalfi Coast complete with beverages, snacks, and lunch. Oliver had lots of knowledge and fun facts about the coastline and famous people who stay there. The ONLY thing that we didn’t love was the Villa’s location from Minori which is a cute town with great restaurants and where you can grab a Ferry to Positano or Amalfi. It’s less than a mile and only takes 15 minutes to walk but the road is very narrow and not much room for pedestrians to walk. If we were retuning back to the Villa after dark we usually opted for a cab instead of walking.

First, the hosts were fantastic. The hillside villa was well stocked with everything you would need for the first couple days, including breakfast makings. The views are breathtaking from every room and deck of the 4 level home. The small pool was an added bonus. Oliver and Lella assist in everything you need to visit the entire Amalfi Coast.

Speaking for all of the four friends that stayed at this property, I can only say that it was a dream vacation. From the time we arrived until the time we left, Oliver and Lella were always available to meet our every need, from booking restaurants to taxis to a ride of a lifetime on Oliver's boat cruising along the Mediterranean coast. We would wholeheartedly recommend booking this property and hope to return there in our lifetimes.

When we arrived to House Oliver we were in awe of the beautiful view and received the kindest greeting from Lella and Oliver. While enjoying a glass of lemonade, they walked us through everything we needed to know about the house, nearby restaurants, options for activities and so much more. They offered assistance if we had any questions during our stay and they went above and beyond on this.
When we were at the house we spent a majority of our time on the terrace, but the inside of the house was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed during our stay. We enjoyed a nice breakfast each morning outside with the food and coffee provided (after a few tries, we even figured out how to brew moka).
The boat ride with Oliver is a must! We had so much fun and it is worth every penny. He took us along the coast showing us many of the cities and told us a little about each one. It was a hot day and we made a few stops along the way to swim and cool off. Oliver’s first mate Pietro was so nice and helpful on our journey as well. The aperitivo, pasta pie made by Lella and beverages were delicious - all a great taste of Italy.
Lella and Oliver were the kindest and most generous hosts. Of all the places we have stayed over the years, we have never experienced such wonderful hospitality and we are very excited to return!

We spent 4 nights in Rome before arriving to our week in paradise where we stayed at House Oliver on one of the most picturesque locations you can find. We are a family of 4 with two teenage daughters, and I will admit, we were intimidated at first by the busy road, but ended up walking to the beach one day and it wasn't a bad walk at all.(Lido di Ravello) We are the type of family that is on the go every day and we were eager to experience all the the Amalfi coast has to offer. As I look back, staying at there provided access to so many opportunities that we never would have had in the hustle and bustle of places like Positano (which we LOVED for an overnight) The house was clean, and comfortable, and met our expectations for our 5 night stay. I read reviews about spending time with the hosts, we were on the go, and chatted with Lella via Whatsapp for some assistance but we really didn't see them until they stopped to say goodbye. We were up and out early for a new adventure each day, came back to the house for a few hours to relax with a glass of wine and a snack on the beautiful terrace, then out again for a late dinner. Don't miss Ravello, eat at Villa Maria most amazing lunch EVER, have dinner at Terra Normanna in Maiori, it's like walking into a dream (exceptional food, service, and location), do at least 2-3 days on a private boat if you have the means; it's AMAZING! Don't miss Capri! Transportation is expensive be prepared, try to negotiate rates ahead if you can.

Beautiful views, great location, and very helpful hosts that help arrange tours, transportation and dinners. The pool was great and the home itself is very historic. They provide lots of food in the fridge and kitchen. Our favorite was the boat ride booked through Oliver and Lellah. We recommend a noise machine for any kids you’re traveling with as the property is close to the road and you’ll hear lots of bus honks. Also, bug spray is a must as there are lots of mosquitoes when you’re hanging out on the lovely terrace.

The Pros: This is a beautiful, obviously loved & cared for property. The second tier views of the sea are incredible. The outdoor spaces are spectacular. Oliver & Lella were among the warmest people we encountered in Italy. Lella took special care to make this the best stocked, best equipped kitchen of our 4 short-term rentals in Italy. The 66 or so stairs to the home are easy compared to other venues you're likely to encounter in Italy.
The Cons: The home is outside of town. Perfect if you plan to stay in, and enjoy the views and the pool. However, to get to Amalfi you'll have to either walk, take the bus, or have your own transportation. The walk is 1.2 miles each way along a scary road, not very suitable for pedestrians. The bus is hit or miss in terms of whether it will pick up and drop off when and where you need it to, and was generally overloaded. The home would be ideally located if you rented a scooter for the duration of your stay. There really is nowhere to park a car, either at the property or anywhere in the region.
The kitchen is located inside one of the two bedrooms, which would be fine if you are a family with children, but is a little inconvenient if you are two couples.
Each of the showers have a dedicated water tank, which appears to be about 10 gallons. This is no problem unless guests need to take back to back showers, in which case someone is getting cold water. I'd suggest adding tankless water heaters.
Overall: Loved it!

We do not believe that you will find better hosts than Oliver and Lella. From our initial contact to our final goodbye Lella and Oliver were very attentive, kind, helpful and eager to help us have the best stay we could have. Lella met us at the base of their place when we arrived. We walked up steps to reveal a charming 2 bedroom home. My Mom, husband and I comfortably lived in the space for 2 weeks. We marveled at the views every single morning, cooked, read and took many day trips to the surrounding towns. While we toured most of the coast, Minori, Maiori and Ravello became three of our favorite towns to stroll and dine in. My husband and I love to workout and there is a whole internal system of steps that will lead you off the main road, which can be harrowing, and into the quiet hills of the coast. These steps lead you up into Ravello, over to Minori, Maiori, Amalfi…. We welcomed the work of the steps especially because the food of the coast is so good, and we definitely enjoyed it all. The three of us so enjoyed the day boat trip that Oliver and Lella arranged for us. You will not fully know the coast until you see it from this angle. We absolutely recommend that you do the day trip on their boat. Oliver and Lella are very special people. We feel like we had the opportunity to really get to know them during our stay. Thank you, Lella and Oliver for being so good to us. We are grateful, Lisa, Scott and Nadine!

Oliver and Lella are wonderful hosts. Their house is absolutely beautiful. It is tastefully decorated with lots of bonus features like multiple terraces, book nooks with lots of art and travel books, a small hidden kitchen stocked with food, a fridge stocked with wine and beer and eggs and fruit, and other bonuses I will leave you to discover. The house is located between Minori and Atranj, two gorgeous quaint sea side villages. Ferry access from Minori makes traveling to Positano or Capri a snap. Wonderful restaurants are everywhere and the hosts will help you locate them and reserve tables. Oliver took us on a sea cruise I highly recommend. You get to swim in beautiful quiet locales along the Amalfi coast and he provides a wonderful lunch it’s all very premium. Well worth it. We loved every minute we spent in this paradise location. Again Oliver and Lella went above and beyond by welcoming us with lemonade and telling us about what was nearby. Oliver brought us coffee the night we had to leave to go to the airport at 1 in the morning. We loved our stay and will come back again! To Oliver and Lella cheers!! Salute!! Grazie Mille!!

The house truly is remarkable. The view is spectacular. The hosts are kind and fun. The house is just what we were looking for as a couple looking to get away for 5 days. It is cleverly designed with lots of Italian charm.
We cook several meals in the small but efficient kitchen. I am not sure what you would want the house doesn't have.
Even though it rained quite a bit , each day there were periods of sunshine, but staying in the house with the rain was actually very pleasant.
As has been said, planning for transportation is important although we Walked a number of places. We preferred Minori to Amalfi because it is much less crowded. The walk down from Revello is not for the faint of heart. Thousands of steps .
We truly never saw a rental property or hotel we would have preferred we red to stay in.
Thank you Oliver and Lilla for letting us stay in your home.

What a wonderful gem Hotel Oliver is! We wish we had stayed longer. The rooms and bathrooms are prettier than the photos you see, and Lella and Oliver were the most gracious hosts… helpful and kind when we asked questions, but also courteous of our privacy and space. Oh, the views from here! There were three different seating areas (plus a jacuzzi!) outside for coffee or wine (or both at the same time!) to see the incredible coastline! And all was very clean with any amenity you want and need.
If you are the slightest bit interested in boating with Oliver, do it!! What a fun and amazing adventure! He is from the area and knows the more beautiful quiet spots! We hope to return to the Amalfi Coast soon, and we will definitely want to stay here again. Thank you Lella and Oliver!

I choose Oliver House because of the beautiful garden and the view. Both exceeded my expectations. We used the owner's recommendation for transportation from airport and then on to Sorrento and were very pleased. Good price and clean and comfortable ride. Communication with owners was prompt and informative both before and during trip. The owner, we called him Captain Ollie, also has a boat. Do not miss the opportunity to cruse with him on the Amalfi Coast. Worth every cent. It was amazing. The house is between Amalfi and Minori and we enjoyed both towns. We would typically walk to a destination and take a taxi back but we also got some phone numbers and had the drivers pick us up on occasion. My favorite spot was the outdoor sitting room that looks like a little reading room. Great place to sip wine (from the owner's selection) and read your book. I took photos of the multi layer gardens which were stunning. I dreamed of trying to replicate some of it here at my home in Texas. Probably not possible but it was so beautiful. We would definitely go back.

A very authentic villa with friendly owners and superb views. Lella and Olivier do everything possible to make your stay enjoyable. Best points the stunning views, delightful terrace areas, super comfy beds and powerful showers. Things that would make the villa even better would be a refurb of the pool which we were told is planned and somewhere to park a car as the villa is fairly remote. Owners couldn't have been more helpful unlike the local taxi drivers, very unreliable and avericious !
8.0
I’ll start by saying the villa is awesome: the views and the interior can’t be justified by photos. The outside garden, the pool and the subtle decorations around the house were beautiful. The owners recommended great restaurants, provided dry cleaning service and gave a bunch of souvenirs and fresh produce. We were welcomed with freshly squeezed lemonade and a very very lengthy property introduction.
Some details that didn’t affect the rating but are good to know:
20 min walk from Amalfi.
1 hour taxi from Positano.
Kitchen is in one of the bedrooms.
Water system is noisy (like 10 minutes of circulating water after flushing)
Some details that did affect the rating and are good to know:
The villa is a duplex and the owners live above you. I had no problem with the water system until we were woken up by it at 6:30AM when the garden was being watered.
When Oliver waters the garden, he also waters it in the part where you stay. Everyday. For extended periods. Didn’t feel like we had the freedoms of a villa.
The private car service recommended by the villa was on point and competitively priced. Except when it was booked by the owners (we had to give cash to the owners, not the driver). Driver says 80€ but Oliver says 120€???
Me and my fiancé enjoyed our stay!

Eat - Pray - Veg Out -
Let me preface this review with the fact that I have never been to the Amalfi region before. It was an amazing time both in the region and the house.
The owners were easy to communicate with as long you remember that they are on a time difference ( in my case, 6 hours ahead) with detailed emails and answers, minus the small issue when they didn't understand my questions that were lost in translation. I was never let down at any point. For an additional fee, they can have a driver pick you up from Naples airport and take you to the house. I do recommend this as there are combinations of ways you can get to the house, but this is the simplest. It's by far not the cheapest, but I'm about 'easy'. In my case, I arrived in Naples around 9 am and the house was not ready so the driver took me to Pompeii to walk around for a couple of hours (this was all planned ahead of time) and then over to the house which was still being cleaned. I was able to hang out outside and enjoy the wonderful views and what felt like 8 different terraces and patios. Once I went over the rules and with Oliver, I was on my own.
let me rewind real quick - Once you arrive you will be greeted with steps to the house that seem pretty daunting. You will have to haul everything up all these steps and back down. I'm young and in shape and it wasn't fun. Keep in mind that's Amalfi! Steps and walking are the names of the game here.
The jacuzzi is a pool. It's not hot, but it does have jets and it's bigger than it looks. I can easily see ten people sitting in there relaxing together. enjoying the views. The outside has enough space and nooks and crannies to host 20 people easily outside. From an outdoor library section to patio tables, loungers, porch swing, lemon trees and tons of flowering plants abound. The house is near a road which makes it easy to catch a car or bus (the bus stop is super close), but it can be loud when busses come by and honk. It's nothing terrible, but it happens.
They keep beer and wine stocked up (charges per bottle, but it's cheap) and breakfast foods, fruits, pasta etc.
The main rental is best suited for two couples. There are two bedrooms with their own full bathrooms (showers) with their own entrances and own keys. This is super helpful if you are doing your own thing or want to go in and out without passing through each other's spaces. Each bedroom is also super private with thick doors and a small living room separating them.

Perfetto
I had a lengthy review written but opted for brevity. House Oliver and hosts Oliviero and Lella were, in a word, perfect. We enjoyed a beautiful part of Italy in a wonderful, efficient home that worked very well four our family of four (adults and teenagers). Deciding which level of the fantastic porch on which to enjoy the views was the most challenging decision of each day. The pictures included are beautiful, but don’t do it justice. Hosts: Perfect. House: Perfect. Mini-cruise: Perfect. Impromptu mini-concert with hosts on our last night: Perfect (but sad, as we did not want to leave). Home-made lemonade by Oliviero: Perfect. If you are fortunate enough to be traveling to the Amalfi area, look no further. Stay at House Oliver. We look forward to returning.

Perfecto!
Where do we begin. We absolutely loved our stay at House Oliver! Everything was perfect!! The house is so beautiful and charming and has everything you need.
The location is fantastic. A short and easy walk to great restaurants, shopping and beaches in Amalfi and Minori or a quick ferry ride to Positano and other towns on the Amalfi Coast.
The views from the house are so incredible and breathtaking and there are a number of beautiful terraces to soak it all in. We couldn’t get enough. The pictures we took are like postcards!
On top of everything, what makes House Oliver so special are the hosts themselves! Lella and Oliver are amazing! From the minute you book your reservation the communication is prompt and so helpful. They met us the house when we arrived, we enjoyed fresh lemonade from their lemon trees and we’re given a tour and tutorial on everything we needed to know about the house and the Amalfi Coast. They had provided fresh fruit, snacks and food for our stay which was above and beyond. We booked a day on Oliver’s boat which was the highlight of our trip! We were able to see the coast, go through a cave and swim in the beautiful Mediterranean Sea! We highly recommend scheduling a day to do this! You will not be disappointed! This was such a memorable trip and staying at House Oliver is truly the reason why. We will be back!

Loved this house!
We couldn’t have picked a better place than Oliver and Lella’s house! They were the perfect hosts and made us feel like family right away. They were so gracious and had such great recommendations. The house itself felt like a perfect Italian home. Cozy and beautifully decorated, and fully stocked with everything we possibly could need to make us feel at home. The ingredients left looked so yummy that I made the family a delicious Italian lunch that day.
The views from the patio are more than I could’ve ever imagined. Out of all the Amalfi Coast that we visited….our views from our patio were my favorite! Absolutely breathtaking!!!
We also rented Oliver’s boat for a day out on the sea and was definitely the high light of our trip! The snacks, drinks, and light lunch were all delicious and the perfect amount. We honestly couldn’t say enough good things about Oliver. The only one thing is scheduling your rides are a must! Not really a taxi friendly location. And walking to the nearest downtown is long and kinda scary with kids since your walking along the road with all the cars. As long as you prepare yourself to schedule for your car rides like we did, it worked out well. We will definitely be recommending this house to our friends and family.

Beautiful and Welcoming!
My friends and I had the opportunity to stay at House Oliver for a week in May. Oliver and Lella are the best hosts anyone could ask for. The House offers just about anything you can imagine- views that are breathtaking and amenities galore! We really enjoyed spending some time with our hosts and getting to know them. We feel like we have made new friends! Their hospitality is unparalleled. We would highly recommend staying at House Oliver - you won’t regret it!

Beautiful property in a great location!
We had a great time here. The property is beautiful and well maintained with lots of different spaces to relax and enjoy the views. It is centrally located in the Amalfi coast so easy to take trips to Ravello, Capri and others. Be prepared to walk places as parking is limited and there can be a lot of traffic on the narrow winding roads; we had a car and parked at a location a short walk from the villa - it was easy to access the car but found that parking could be challenging in other locations. We cooked in frequently - the kitchen is small but had all the necessary dishes and equipment. The beds were pretty comfortable.

All the comforts of home and then some
When we first arrived to the property we were greeted by owners Olivera and Lela. We saw a large bowl of fresh fruit with a hand written sign to welcome us. They were so warming and hospitable explaining everything about the house in detail. The house is a 2 bedrooms with two full bathrooms, kitchen, and living room with all of the comforts of home. It’s perfect for 2 couples. There are several outdoor seating areas with breathtaking views of the coastline. We were provided with fresh basil and tomatoes from their garden along with pasta, biscuits, tomato sauce, Parmesan cheese, and an array of drinks. So you can hang out and cook if you want. Oliver was most helpful in booking transportation and day trips. There is a binder at the house with things to do in neighboring areas. We found the price so very reasonable for this precious gem. If you want a beautiful place to stay on the Amalfi Coast this is your place!!!!

A lovely time
Our stay at Olivero and Lella's property was lovely. Great for 4 people. It had a lovely outdoor space and a view of Minori and Maiori which was beautiful. The kitchen is a bit small (interestingly, it is hidden in a large closet cabinet) so be aware that only one person can cook in it at a time. Also, since there is a garden and lots of flowers there is also a lot of insects. Bring bug spray and you will be fine. The distance from any of the towns is about a 20 minute walk so be prepared. The bathrooms were great and the service and helpfulness of the hosts cannot be understated. Overall, very much worth a stay, so contact don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you Olivero and Lella!

Trip of a lifetime!
My husband and I had a wonderful experience at House Oliver and highly recommend staying here! The host Oliver goes above and beyond in the customer service department!
He helped us arrange a private transfer to and from the train station and when needed any other time. We were greeted by Oliver personally upon arrival with cool towels, fresh grapes and a bottle of Prosecco which was most welcome after travelling. He also provided a large fresh fruit basket, fully stocked refrigerator and a book with descriptions of nearby areas, sites and restaurant recommendations.
When he found out that it was my birthday while we were there he brought me a delicious dessert from one of the local patisseries and a bottle of Prosecco to celebrate. So thoughtful!
We found the house to be most comfortable and charming and the views from the terraces are stunning! We spent much of our time outside enjoying the scenery with our coffee in the mornings and a glass of some of the local wines in the afternoons/evenings.
We took advantage of Oliver's boat outing along the coast and it was definitely one of the highlights of our trips! The views were amazing and Oliver provided wonderful food/drink and pointed out all of the sights and educated us on some of the local history. Don't pass this up!
Upon departure Oliver and his wife Lella sent us off with a Neapolitan coffee with fresh lemon peel...so delicious! We could not have asked for a better experience and look forward to returning in the future!
Grazie mille Oliver and Lella from Jerry and Anita

- Beautiful property- Beautiful views- Lovely, helpful yet unobtrusive ownersThe only caveat I offer is not particular to this property but to all properties outside of the town center in Amalfi: In order to get to/from the town of Amalfi, one has two choices: 1) 25 minute walk along a busy road with tour buses on one side, and [300] foot drop (to sea) on other side, or 2) taxi or pre-arranged car, which charges euro 30 each way. It is easy to catch a taxi from Amalfi to villa. However, to travel from Villa to Amalfi, one must arrange a car service in advance. The landlords are very helpful with this, and the drivers are all professional, but a) it's expensive, and b) it makes it hard to be spontaneous. Despite this, I would stay here again because the property, views and owners are all wonderful. I just wish I had known this prior to booking.

Living the dream
Absolutely amazing property. View from all the outside patios amazing. Quaint, interesting set up with kitchen in one of bedrooms but works quite well. Everything clean/refreshed. Kitchen/refrigerator stocked with everything you could need to enjoy the start of your vacation.
Hosts were absolutely charming and very helpful with transportation, local restaurants, activities etc.
Wish we could have spent more time enjoying this property.
If we could give this more than 5 stars we would. We can't think of anything that would have improved our stay.
Oliver and Lella you are wonderful:)

Beautiful home, lovely people, great location
My wife and I stayed at “House Oliver” at the end of August for four (4) nights. The owner, Oliviero, was extremely welcoming and provided individual attention throughout our stay. Oliviero met with us for thirty (30) minutes upon arrival with wine, grapes and cold towels. He provided local recommendations as well as a tour of the house and property. Throughout our stay, we had inquires about the Amalfi area and sent them to Oliviero via WhatsApp. Oliviero was consistently responsive and a gracious host.
“House Oliver” was well-apportioned, well-kept, neat and super clean. No detail was left overlooked, including nice touches like binoculars and a flashlight (for safety when walking at night). The beds were comfortable. The bathrooms were stocked with fresh towels and toiletries. The kitchen is well-designed and efficient. We cooked breakfast every day. The AC works very well. Housekeeping and laundry services were provided during our stay by Antoinette.
The House is centrally located which allows for convenient trips throughout the Amalfi Coast. If you enjoy walking, you can walk to nearby Atrani. [Note: Always walk on the sea-side.] The House is situated up several flights of stairs, which provide for lots of privacy and views of the sea.
The House has a beautiful patio, gazebo and sitting area with gorgeous views of the sea. The property has a lovely garden, named for Lella (Oliviero’s bride) which has the most amazing local tomatoes.
“House Oliver” is perfection. We highly recommend it. Oliviero and Lella are amazing people and gracious hosts. We hope to be back.

Idyllic setting
A vacation of a lifetime in Italy made possible by the beauty of the surroundings and the very gracious owners of House Oliver, Oliver and Lella. We were literally immersed in the idyllic beauty of the Amalfi Coast with incomparable and stunning views from the villa’s patios. House Oliver is impeccably clean and the environment reflects the owner's attention to details of comfort and loveliness. Oliver and Lella also provided us with delights from their garden: basil, tomatoes, peppers, and lemons. The owners were gracious and accommodating, but never intrusive. The private boat cruise you can book with Oliver, the owner, must be experienced! We even swam in the Mediterranean Sea, off the back of the boat, as part of this charming personal tour of the coast. What makes the villa’s location ideal is that it offers both idyllic views and easy access (walking distance) to beaches and the coastal towns of Atrani and Minori. In Minori, you can access the ferry to Amalfi and then on to Positano. We plan to book this villa again! If you are still researching, you can stop: this is the place to book for your dream vacation in Italy on the Amalfi Coast.

AMAZING! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
We frequent VRBO's all over the world and this was by far the best experience. Oliver was amazing! We were greeted with sparkling wine and snacks to go over our stay. Great recommendations on what to do, where to eat, arranging car service, etc. They were like family members by the end of our trip. Our five year still talks about Oliver. A ride on his boat was an extra special treat for his 5th birthday. The closest beach is remote with cliffs to jump for the teenagers and the town of Atrani was so quaint and lovely with some of the best dining on the Amalfi coast. It is a close walk to Atrani and Minori. The bus system is also really easy to use, if you prefer not to walk. Positano and Amalfi were tourist traps and we were so thankful not to be in the midst of the chaos. The house was stocked with wonderful fresh fruit, wine, yogurt, milk, etc. Ravello is 3000 steps up from the house or a bus ride. DO NOT miss Ravello - amazing! You will not regret booking this VRBO!

Your Research Ends Here!
Truly. No need to research properties further. Stay here.
The home owners/hosts are beautiful people and are fully prepared for your stay. They will help you with everything from transportation (public and/or private) to restaurant recommendations to outing recommendations and more. This property has been in their family for over 250 years. The owners know other local business owners throughout the area as well as every other detail a local family would know about their home town. Undeniably, every single detail has been thought of to make your stay perfect. It is experiences like this that put hotels to shame.
You will be offered a day boat tour by this host - do it. Don't think twice about it. Listen to all the reviews and recommendations, and plan on it.
We had only one thing we wished we had known before our trip - that is the additional cost for the driver. We opted for transportation To and From the airport by a private driver - still highly recommended - and one additional trip To and From Pompeii. In the end, we needed 440 Euro for all four legs of our two trips...which we didn't have. Paying at the airport was chaotic and not a pleasant experience. We were told to not worry about paying after each trip individually - that we could settle it in the end. That made us uncomfortable, but we just went with it - thinking it's normal for this type of exchange. Although this wasn't a great experience, I still recommend using the driver. You just need to plan on the cost in cash. We would discourage renting a car. Parking will cost you per day, and you would waste time trying to find a place to park in the nearby towns. Just walk, take the bus and ferry when needed, and enjoy the experience and scenery.
Overall, this property and its owners are first class. We highly recommend a stay here. As our short title indicates, don't waste more time researching properties. Book this one.
Cheers!

House Oliver is the BEST!
We have traveled to many places and the view from this house is the most special. The house is unique as are most places in Amalfi but we found it to be very comfortable and well stocked with food and drinks. Oliver and Lella met us at arrival and suggested every restaurant and activity we did. Oliver’s boat outing will be one of the best days of your life. They are what make this place special and should write a book on how to provide perfect customer service. We will be back!
