We absolutely loved our family vacation on the Amalfi Coast. The villa is beautiful with spectacular views, but we would have been lost without Carmine the house manager. The villa is located in a very remote area at the end of a steep, narrow, winding road. Without transportation you would be stuck. Carmine was incredible arranging all of our rides, excursions, and even cooking an amazing dinner for the 9 of us. We loved the old style of the villa, but think some bathroom renovations are needed. The villa comes with a sweet mascot, Coffee, the local dog that greets you everyday. Wonderful family memories were made this week. Wish the weather was warmer so that we could have enjoyed the numerous terraces and the pool more!!

The villa was perfect space for 9 adults. We used outdoor dining space every morning for breakfast and stayed up late at night outside on the terrace. Has a lot of spaces for all to be together or have some privacy. The views are amazing from anywhere outside. We couldn’t get enough of the views. The only thing maybe better than the views was Carmine! Our trip was made perfect with his help. He arranged all transportation everywhere we went and made 2 most delicious dinners for us at the villa after an exhausting day exploring. I would strongly recommend anyone renting the villa use Carmine to arrange transportation. The villa is located on a narrow, windy private drive that most taxis will not go on. All of drivers arranged by Carmine would pick us up right at the villa. Rosaria kept the house in order and made a late evening run when our hot water breaker tripped. I hope to visit again and will definitely try to stay here again.

We are eternally grateful to Luca for honoring our original reservation made just before the Covid pandemic. Being able to share a nearly a week together provided so many wonderful memories. The view from this villa is the most gorgeous I've ever seen. Carmine was charming, a fabulous cook and easy to communicate with on WhatsApp. Our whole family loved the cooking class! Mosquitos were out in force. I'd recommend bringing bug spray and after bite. Laundry facilities were a bonus. Daily cleaning was much appreciated. Highly recommend.

What an amazing time we had at Calliope's Mansion! We were a group of 10 friends celebrating a 50th bday. We had the most amazing adventures, from private boat tours of both Amalfi Coast and Capri with fantastic captains, riding scooters, exploring Sorrento, eating at local delicious restaurants and a trip to Pompeii. We also enjoyed spending time at the gorgeous villa enjoying the amazing views, pool and BBQ, and one night Carmine the house manager and Rosie prepared a wonderful Italian meal at the villa. A HUGE thank you to Carmine for being an amazing host who helped with soooo much, from emails and calls before our trip to offer great tips and advice, to arranging all our actives and transportation, to being so attentive and available any time, and on top of all that, an incredibly kind and funny person. Thank you to Rossaria, Alessandra and all the lovely people that helped us along the way. It was a dream come true. Sono state una bellissima vacanza!!!!

This property is absolutely beautiful. The views are spectacular. Carmine, the property manager was the BEST part of our stay. He arranged everything from our pickup in Rome, trip to Pompeii, a day trip by private boat to Capri, a day trip by van along the coast, a private boat trip along the coast. Yo top it iff he prepared a fabulous meal on our last night and arranged our transfer to the Naples airport the day we left. We could not have enjoyed our time here any more.

Our family of 14 had an amazing week celebrating our mom/ grandmother’s 80th birthday at this beautiful villa. We loved every minute of our time there. The views from the terraces and pool of the Amalfi Coast are unreal. Carmine our host went above and beyond on a daily basis to make sure that we had a very special and memorable week. He assisted us with transfers, tours, boat trips and even made a few delicious meals for us. We cannot thank him enough. It was a week that we will always remember.

We had two families and our mom stay at this beautiful property and it was fantastic. The pictures don’t do it justice. Absolutely loved our stay and Carmine was soooo helpful in planning activities and our stay. Loved every minute.

We had a great stay at Calliope's Mansion. The villa is exactly as described on the website and looks even better in person than it does in the pictures. Carmine could not have been more helpful and arranged everything for us from transfers from the airport, trips to Pompeii, boat trips, dinner in local restaurants. He came in and cooked for the whole group on two occasions. Even though the villa is so remote it didnt feel like you couldnt go out and explore the local area. He was always very responsive and things were quickly organised the night before or the day of.

The villa is in a stunning location with plenty of places to appreciate the scenery of this coastline. This holiday was postponed 2 years running due to Covid but Luca the owner was very accommodating and helpful in finding and agreeing alternative dates each time. The wait was worth it. Carmine was a great events manager and nothing was ever beyond his skills to provide solutions and suggestions. We did multiple trips as a family alongside restaurant reservations. Rosario discretely kept the villa clean and tidy. The problem is that a week is too short - there’s so much to do, see and visit in the area that it’s hard to find time to spend time at the beautiful villa with its views. Highly recommend staying here if you want to enjoy the region in style.

This stay was rescheduled twice due to Covid-19 (thank you to Luca for being so accommodating!), and it finally happened in May/June 2022. My family and I knew the villa would be nice because of the pictures and reviews, but seeing it in person really is a different experience. The views are breathtaking and the property manager Carmine really went above and beyond to make sure our stay was stress-free and comfortable, and the activities he arranged for us were everything we were hoping for (and more). The villa is tucked away in a small community just down the coast from all of the busy tourist hustle and bustle, and we really felt as if we could truly relax. Our housekeeper worked hard every day to keep the villa spotless. We could have stayed a month! Thank you, Luca, Carmine and Rosaria for an absolutely fantastic stay.

This villa did not disappoint in any way! Everything was perfect & so easy to adjust to. The host/agent, Carmine, was very helpful in every way…there wasn’t anything he couldn’t arrange for our group, who were always going in different directions. Rosario, the house keeper, made sure our every need was met & always with a smile. I’d recommend this magnificent villa to anyone of our friends & family!

The property was well maintained, clean, and professionally managed. Our property manager hosted and arranged all of our activities. His recommendations and referrals were superb!

I can not overstate how incredible this stay was! From the beautiful views, to the roomy and spacious house (we comfortably slept 13 people!), to the house manager Carmine - everything was amazing!! We had travelled all day from Lake Como and Carmine had a chef prepare a delicious dinner for us right in the house so we didn't have to worry about getting ready and finding a place to eat. Carmine also arranged all of our transportation for the weekend which was a HUGE help. He set up a private boat tour for the day around Capri and helped us with dinner reservations or delivery each night. Really, it was a wonderful experience and we can not wait to come back!!

Loo forward to be back with firends

All I can say is that the property’s pictures sold us in the first place, and the reality is much much better. It is heaven! The views are to die for on many patios, on multiple levels. The interior is perfectly appointed. The one lane driveway is the only thing you will need to get used to. It’s tough to explain, but you will start with a feeling of confused dizziness, but it changes to insane belly laughs very quickly. Luca worked with us through a myriad of forced schedule changes because of Covid over 19 months. Thank you. Housekeeping was wonderful, thank you! And Carmine helped us plan many of our scheduled trips and restaurant reservations, and always pulled through with rave reviews. He even prepared dinner on site for one of the most memorable evenings of our trip. Thank you so much! We can't wait to return!

House manager Carmine was super helpful and he provided info whenever we needed anything. I hope to return to this property again.

Five stars all the way. The location made for a quiet vacation yet the local restaurants provided pick up and drop off service so we werent completely isolated without a car. Carmine and Katarina were excellent at their jobs.

Very nice location although the road to get to the villa can be challenging yet fun! The views are incredible, the Villa is laid out nice we had 8 in our party. Cameron makes sure all your needs are met, sets up rides with reliable safe drivers, he also set up a charter boat trip for us, the charter captain went out of his way to accommodate all of is on our trip. Cameron also is a great cook I need to mention that for sure, highly recommend you let him cook up a meal during your stay.

There were 13 of us at peak, 8 adults, 1 teenager, 4 children between 9 and 12yrs of age. This place was just perfectly to our taste, and the layout worked. First of all, the planning pre-arrival was perfect, even though I was not entirely on top of everything, Carmine was. We had organised 3 day-trips one to Capri, one to Positano, Amalfi, Ravello and one to Pompeii and Vesuvius. All flawlessly executed and we had a great driver or set of drivers for all. Then we had an evening meal at home one evening - simply delicious, cooked by Carmine himself and his crew, and other days we relaxed by the pool or went off to St Agata or Sorrento. This villa is just so cosy that we immediately felt at home in it. And certainly Carmine and Caterina (who came to clean daily) made us feel even more so. (One small correction to the listing - there is not a TV in each bedroom, at least not when we were there). We are regulars in Italy and this was one of the best! My 11 year old nephew suggested we buy the place, as he wants us to come back to this house every year, so Luca beware! :-) Thank you for sharing your little piece of heaven with us.

We traveled as a large family ! 7 adults and 6 children. We enjoyed every minute of our stay ! The villa was perfect. The views are indescribable! Our family loved to spend time at the pool. The water was warm and sparkling clean. The villa rooms were spacious and comfortable. The outdoor living space was breathtakingly beautiful. Carmine was so helpful and responded ASAP to any questions we had. He was a wonderful resource to have when planning our daily activities. And we absolutely recommend having him come to the villa and cook for your family ! We had a delicious homemade dinner on our outdoor patio ! Caterina came every morning to clean , freshen up the villa and re stock things that were needed. She is so wonderful ! There is a little shop at the bottom of the road where you can buy fresh made pasta. Highly recommend! No complaints. A truly magical place to stay. Thank you Calliope’s Mansion for treating our family to a perfect Italian Vacation.

I was nervous as one would be on booking a property from pictures, but once we arrived at the Villa it was even more spectacular than we could believe. We had a party of 13 and never once felt like we didn't have enough room. The way the Villa is laid out is just perfect. Everyone had space of their own and so many levels to gather it was just incredible. There are terraces everywhere. You can pick one every night and not sit in the same place. The views are spectacular from anywhere you go in the Villa, it is just breathtaking from anywhere you look!! When we arrived Carmine met us to guide us in. I had been corresponding with him for a few weeks. Carmine set up tours, transportation to restaurants, to and from trains stations and airports and boat excursions!! He knows everyone and everything. He is a wealth of information not to mention a fantastic cook. We were there to celebrate my husbands 60th birthday so he came and prepared a wonderful dinner celebration which was one of our favorite nights. Also spectacular was Catarina who is the housekeeper. She came everyday to make sure the Villa was just perfect. She is not only beautiful but lovey as well. I also have to mention La Palma, a restaurant at the bottom of the hill. The best Pasta dishes we have ever eaten!! We did so many incredible tours and saw so many beautiful cities but can honestly say the very best part of our trip was staying at the Villa and spending time together. It was the most magical, relaxing and spectacular vacation we have ever had and we will cherish our memories from our vacation. Thank your for sharing your magnificent Villa with us. Truly a trip of a lifetime!! Sincerely, Casi Crawford

Rented Villa for my family, 11 of us went for the week. Carmine was outstanding, helping us plan our excursions, getting us transportation. Anything we needed we could count on Carmine. The meal Carmine cooked for us was outstanding. He really helped our week at Villa run smoothly. Catrina, who cleans Villa everyday was excellent! She is very friendly, and does an outstanding job.. Really enjoyable and relaxing vacation. Sandy Boston, Ma

Very nice place great views

The property was perfect for our family with plenty of space for everyone. The daily cleaning by Caterina was fantastic and she was a real delight - helpful and friendly. The views from the property are amazing. A real gem of a place.

Our stay was wonderful! The villa and outdoor space were amazing! The pool looked beautiful however it was too cold outside for us to use it! The road to the villa is very tight but after a few days you get used to it. Carmine and Katarina were extremely helpful throughout our stay! We will definitely be back!

We just came back from a 10 day family vacation in Italy and spent 4 of these days in Calliope’s Mansion. This was the best part of our trip. The view were spectacular and the service is amazing. The owners are very responsive and Carmine the house manager takes care of every detail. He arranged transport to Rome, day trips and restaurants. He took any of the planning and travel stress away. The villa was lovely. More beautiful than in the pictures. My only regret is that we didn’t catch good weather all 4 days, so the kids only used the pool for 2. We will definitely come back!!

Our experience here at the villa was simply AMAZING! I booked this villa last minute for a team building reunion. We were a group of 7 managers and 4 wifes & husbands. The villa was perfect for us 3 double with en suite bathrooms, 2 doubles and 2 single bedded rooms with two other baths. The housekeeper is very clean and came everyday to put in order the rooms and the kitchen. A large living spaces to talk all together and a secondary living at the dependence were to held private or working talks. We never had any problems with space or feeling crowded. Some spots are special. The sofa in front of the fireplace was magic and inspired many good ideas and conversations, while overlooking the rough and windy sea through the windows. The southfacing outdoor table where we liked to have late breakfast in the sun despite the winter season. Luca was very polite and answered all my questions during reservation process. He met us at Santagata Sui Due Golfi and he lead us to the property, which is 3 minutes by car. I asked Carmine to arrange our stay and to not tell to my team where /what we were going to do. He was great and arranged trips to Pompei and Amalfi, nights in Positano and Sorrento, arranged transfers to and from restaurants, and finaly he cooked for us and brought napolitan singers in at the villa. We had very good times, great food and wine. Team is built and we are ready to tackle new challenges. At the end, the property is wonderful property and very well managed, I definitely recommend it. Thank you guys for such a perfect stay

Not sure where to begin! We had a group of 13 stay at the Villa and every day was enjoyable. The day we arrived we wanted to do something simple and stopped into the pasta shop at the base of the road leading to the house and our team was able to put together a fantastic ravioli dinner with veal medallions on the side (we had excellent cooks in our group!!) ...amazing! We made return visits to the shop for other meals during the week. Carmine (the property manager) arranged a number of tours for our group during the week. He also arranged for a complete evening meal which he and an assistant prepared at the Villa....it was delightful! Caterina came to the house each day to make beds, tidy up, and kept things looking fantastic. The trip to Capri in a private boat was perfect (also arranged by Carmine!) We swam, drank prosecco and had lunch at a lovely restaurante in a scenic cove on the island. We decided to stay away from the main tourist section and were happy with our decision. A number of us had very specific experiences that we wanted to enjoy....whether it be a visit to the Amalfi coast, a visit to the oldest pizza restaurant in Naples, finding a very special dish of spaghetti with sea urchin sauce, ect. Carmine was able to make it happen! There is so much to do, see, enjoy and experience .... spending time by the pool enjoying the view should not be overlooked! Another fun day was visiting Azienda Agrituristica di Benedetto De Gregorio. Klaudia, who works with Benedetto, will arrange a visit that includes leangin how to make limoncello, mozzarella, and pizza..... not sure what could be better!! Klaudia will organize everything including transportation to the farm! This one is a complete win ....location, access to tourist attractions, scenery, support from the staff, all get 10's!! The small road leading to the house? Well, let's just say have a small car and good horn to use as you prepare to make 90 degree turns! It is an exciting half mile or so!

Our experience here at the villa was AMAZING! Our trip started with communication from Carmine about any arrangements we needed during our stay. He helped us with transfers, tours and even a chef prepared dinner for our family. The villa itself was perfect for our family. There were 4 rooms in the main house and 3 more just a few steps below (on the way to the pool). The views.... indescribable!!. There were 11 of us in total and we never had any problems with space or feeling crowded. Carmine even went above and beyond in rushing us to the hospital one morning early because I had the unfortunate luck of having a kidney stone attack during our stay!. He was very caring and passionate about making sure we had everything we needed at all times. He even ran into us in town, stopped and chatted to make sure I was doing ok! Overall the best experience during our 3 weeks in Italy! We will totally recommend and stay again!

We were blown away by the excellent service the organizers of the villa have provided and by the beautiful property and views. It is extremely clean and well maintained, the pool is crystal clean and the property is truly an original design and layout. Carmine was excellent and extremely attentive to our needs. Our family will be coming back regularly as every member has truly enjoyed their stay and experience at this villa. It is truly a world class experience, we highly recommend this property as it will be something you must feel and see for yourself, it is hard to put it into words!!! We loved our stay.

We were a group of 11 and the house couldn't be more comfortable. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean, the views are gorgeous and Carmine was amazing in organizing a boat ride through the Amalfi Coast for us and getting a last minute transfer back to Naples. If I had to say something negative, it would be about the road to get there. We rented 2 large cars to fit everyone and it was kind of stressful to get in and out of the house. So if you have multiple drivers in your group, go for multiple small cars! I definitely recommend the house and cannot wait to come back!
