Delfino  

Description from the manager

This self catering accommodation near Sorrento overlooks the enchanting bay of Mitigliano, a cove on the extreme tip of the Sorrento Peninsula. At this villa on the Sorrento Peninsula you can plunge into the small pool and enjoy the sea view from the trrace, or just relax in the garden under the shade of an olive tree.

  Overall it was a good experience, although the road in and out was rather daunting and some basic essentials would have been nice.
  
  The view except for the large eucalyptus tree which blocked most of it was spectacular. The peaceful, romantic exterior was lovely.
  
  We probably least liked the road to the property and the fact that we weren't game to ever arrive after dark. The beds in the second bedroom were very minimally comfortable and there was really no place to set items. Also the tiny couch in the living area wasn't comfortable.
  
  Beautiful area.

  The property was in a beautiful surrounding but was not adequate for the summer heat and we had problems with mosquitoes.
  
  The view was beautiful.
  
  - The heat at night prevented sleeping. There was only one fan provided with the place, so we asked the owner for another fan. However we could not keep the doors open (no screens on windows or doors) because of the mosquitoes. - This property was hard to access. We parked up at the top and walked down/up approx. 4 - 5 flights of stairs. - We also had problems with electricity. If you had too many things plugged in (i.e. washer going, hairdryer) the electricity would go out. - Finally, the owner and owners' friend/family were often on property preventing privacy
  
  Sorrento is very nice but is about 30 minutes away. View of Capri is very pretty.

  Gorgeous! Stunning views! Excellent in hot weather. Only bold drivers should navigate the driveway.
  
  The view from the pool is unequaled. And the pool on a hot day was heavenly.
  
  The hosts came by too often. Once with a tour. You like to pretend its yours, but that's hard to do when the owners appear and show people around.
  
  Everything! The Amalfi Coast and the Isle of Capri are all nearby. Pompeii is a bit further, but an easy day trip.

  The space was great and the views extraordinary. I think you should really use the fact that the villa has a clear and close view of Capri as a selling point!
  
  The outdoor spaces. There were flowers everywhere and olive trees. We also had tremendous views.
  
  The driveway and roads were very steep.
  
  We liked the fact that we were "removed" from most of civilization, but I think we would have liked to be a little closer to a town with at least a restaurant or a bank. It was a lot of work to schedule meals and shopping because we were so far away from everything. We spent a lot of time in Sorrento, which was the biggest town near the villa. Here you can take ferries to other locations, shop, eat out...it has basically everything you need.

  Excellent property with a very secluded aspect and yet near to civilisation.
  
  The property had a magnificent view across the sea to Capri and was well-kept.
  
  The kitchen was small but that would have been ok had the layout been better. The workspace was very limited
  
  Fantastic scenery, local restaurants, friendly people.

  We enjoyed the beautiful settings. The grounds were amazing.
  
  The grounds/gardens were wonderful, especially the patio with the plunge pool.
  
  In our opinion, the interior of the property needs some work, it needs to be "glammed up" a little.
  
  The views, the little villages & marinas - we found some great restaurants. .
