PERFECT, PERFECT, PERFECT
We spent two wonderful weeks here on vacation. Staying at Villa Donna Elisa absolutely made the vacation a memorable and delightful experience. It was like having a spectacular private Villa in the most wonderful location in Sorrento. The Villa itself is what really made the trip.
The first “Perfect” is the location. First of all, you are in Sorrento, which is wonderfully situated to explore the Amalfi Coast, the Islands of Capri and Ischia, and Pompeii. The Villa is also tremendously located in Sorrento. While being a quiet location, situated on the spectacular cliff overlooking the Marina and the Bay of Naples, it is only a short walk to the center of town and the train/bus station. Sorrento is a great town to stay in if you are going to stay a week or more. It is big enough to have a great variety of stores, restaurants and attractions, but still small enough to feel safe and to be able to walk to most locations.
The second “Perfect” is the Villa itself. It is a veritable private park with spectacular gardens. In Italian Villa style, you enter the walled compound through locked gates. You are now in your own private sanctuary that appears like a set from a Hollywood movie. You have the entire, very spacious second (top) floor of the spotless, beautiful Villa. High ceilings, tile floors, spectacular windows and doors. Kitchen, living room, dinning room, multiple terraces that overlook the incomparable view. There are no details that are overlooked. You will fall in love with this place. It was far above my very high expectations.
The final “Perfect” is Donna Elisa herself. Charming, intelligent, helpful, unobtrusive. The perfect hostess, and with good reason. She is from a family of hoteliers and has been in the business of running a great hotel most of her life. There is also her business associate, Bruno who is equally charming and helpful.
I have never written as glowing a review as this one. I almost hesitate to do so because I almost want to keep it a secret. When something is this good, however, the news will spread. Don’t hesitate to reserve your vacation here. You will only be disappointed if you miss out.
