We had a fantastic fortnight at Casale Villarena. It may seem a bit out of the way but it is within easy reach of big tourist attractions such as Sorrento, Pompeii, Capri and Positano. But, to be honest, when the weather was warmer in our second week we could hardly drag ourselves away from the sunny terraced garden, its lemon trees and views over the Gulf of Salerno. The beach at nearby Marina del Cantone is the best beach we have seen in the area and the 1km walk down (and up!) is a dawdle, even for us - and Eleanor is almost seven months pregnant. We went on an excellent boat trip to Capri from the marina, run by a local cooperative, which was very good value, with an English-speaking guide explaining points of interest round the coast and which included six hours on the island and a visit to the Blue Grotto. You won't find many British tourists round here, which adds to the charm of the place. The excellent restaurants at Marina del Cantone are very popular with Italians. There are also many pretty walks around the area. Our favourite was the path to the beach at Ieranto. Hope this is OK and that the rest of the season is busy for you. Thank you again for helping us have such a good holiday.

A fantastic holiday in a wonderful place. We cannot wait to return.

Luc: Appartement au charme immédiat. Assez isolé des centres touristique pour être tranquille mais assez près pour leur rendre visite rapidement. Un séjour des plus agréables avec un hôte très accueillant. A y revenir! Aline : Un cadre exceptionnel, un paysage splendide, un accueil chaleureux. On reviendra sûrement
