Heavenly Views in Italy
We were a group of 9 friends who came to the Amalfi Coast to explore and enjoy. Calliopi Mansion did not disappoint! It is very nice Italian property (not a modern unauthentic place) with plenty of space and amenities. There were numerous patios, a great (very clean) swimming pool looking out over the sea, and plenty of dining space. We took advantage of Carmine, the property manager's, expertise and it was well worth it. Carmine arranged transportation to and from airport, boat rides to Amalfi and Capri, a cooking class, transportation to Ravello and a local winery, guides in Pompeii and Herculaneum, transportation to Sorrento to dine/shop and some in villa cooked meals. ALL of this went off without a hitch. He was very accommodating and his choice of drivers, guides and boat skipper were fantasic. We enjoyed it all. As stated in other reviews, the property is remote. It is not in the center of a town and has a long drive up to access. With that said, you cannot beat the quiet and views of this place. However, you should plan to use Carmine to schedule all of your activities or you will most likely run into issues and walking up and down a long and quite narrow drive to reach transportation services that aren't willing to go up the drive. Would not recommend this. Also, when you arrive, Carmine arranges cars to take up your luggage and you to the villa. So highly recommend this villa, but make your visit perfect by using Carmines services. Maid service daily.
