After a fun and challenging drive negotiating the narrow roads and tight turns of the Sorrentine Peninsula, we were met in the small village of Termini by Claudio, our friendly and energetic host. Claudio gave a us a quick overview of our location on the peninsula using the map display in Termini's piazza, describing the nearest towns and things to see. We then followed him to his family's beautiful villa. Note: Via Li Padri , the narrow street on which the villa is located is very narrow, but although we had a fairly large rental vehicle (Skoda Kodiaq SUV) we were able to get in and out without too much trouble. The villa is fantastic. Ample parking and easily accessible down a few steps from the parking area. The vista from the huge terrace is stunning, encompassing the entire coastline from Naples to the tip of the peninsula and highlighted by a matchless view of Capri, which seems close enough to touch. Plenty of room to spread out here.. spacious bedrooms and living areas, two kitchens including Claudio's mother's commercial-grade kitchen on the lower level. We thoroughly enjoyed being at the villa when we were not out on day trips... Sorrento, Pompei, Capri, and the Amalfi Coast-- all were amazing and easily reached from our location by rental car, a ferry to Capri from Sorrento and, in in the case of the Amalfi Coast, by public bus from the train station in Sorrento. At Claudio's recommendation we also made the short hike from a nearby parking area to the Chiesa San Costanzo, a church located on a high hill near the very tip of the peninsula, the views from which are astounding, again featuring an even-closer view of Capri. Be sure to drive down to the pristine little fishing village of Nerano, which is a five minute trip from the villa. We had a truly inspiring seafood lunch there at Ristorante Mary's Beach run by an accommodating and gracious family. Again, at Claudio's suggestion, we also thoroughly enjoyed a terrific traditional Neapolitan dinner at Trattoria Eughenes in Termini, a short walk or very short drive away. All in all, our stay at Villa Venus was highly enjoyable, made even more so by the attentive service provided by Claudio, who is a fine young gentleman and excellent host.

Der Vermieter war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, das Objekt großzügig geschnitten, der Blick von der Terrasse fantastisch.
