Amazing quaint family owned accommodation, delicious meals, tranquil views. Comfortable unique rooms, areas to snuggle in and read a book. Phenomenal access to Capri and Sorrento. My only suggestion include transportation Island of Capri and other activities following the end of the path of Gods hike; it was annoying that we were constantly asked to contribute another 10 euro for transportation I otherwise would have brought more cash rather than seeking out ATM's. The initial tour in Naples was in my opinion not well curated, the market was terrible, would have preferred the charming street we discovered on route back to the hotel. Our Pompeii guide Amazing and well worth the stop.
