Villa Di Natale

The owners are a cool young couple, and they even offered us pizza. Their two big, friendly dogs were pure happiness, and the atmosphere was superb. We ended up on the rooftop terrace at 3 am, taking in the view of Vezuvio and the lively city at night. We arrived late, after check-in, without a booking. We were lucky to find the main entrance, though the gates were closed. The owners turned up ten minutes after us with friends for what seemed like a Saturday night party, and they were just as surprised to see us as we were to see them. The Villa was totally amazing, with a huge wall, a big plot of land, and an incredible garden. Inside, there’s a distinctive atmosphere, with paintings, massive walls, stone stairs, and solid wood windows. An ancient tree, a pina that might be 200 years old, adds to the feeling of the ancient Roman Empire. The Villa was the cherry on top of our Amalfi coast trip. Thank You.

The morning balcony views are hard to forget, whether you’re looking toward the forested hills or the majesty of Vesuvius. A coffee outside while enjoying them is a must. We were also lucky to see a night view of the city with a storm glowing behind Vesuvius. The location is convenient for exploring the Amalfi Coast, and I wish we’d stayed longer instead of booking elsewhere. Next time I’m in the area, I’ll definitely return to Arturo and his wonderful family. We had booked just one night at Villa Di Natale as a simple stop between Naples and Amalfi. The photos made us expect an ordinary stay, but my wife and I were amazed as soon as we walked in. The interiors are breathtaking, with carefully chosen artwork that we spent hours admiring. The Booking photos don’t begin to show how beautiful and unique the villa is. The owners should invest in a professional photographer. It feels like a blend of luxury, history, elegance, and modern comfort. It didn’t feel like a typical Italian villa, more like an exclusive 5-star retreat for movie stars. Our room was spacious and peaceful, with a comfortable bed, wardrobe, fridge, air conditioning, and artwork throughout. The bathroom was stylish and modern, with a fantastic multi-function shower and ambient lighting. Couples will love it. Outside, the uniquely shaped swimming pool and waterfall add to the magic. Breakfast was generous and beautifully presented, served in a stunning dining room. It was far better than what most places offer.

The host was friendly, breakfast was good, and parking was secure behind a security gate. The sunset views of Vesuvius were superb. This is a private house with some rooms rented out as a bed and breakfast. The swimming pool is lovely, but unfortunately it’s private and unavailable to guests. Our room was small but well appointed, with an ensuite bathroom and a great shower. A few minor things need repairing, though nothing worth writing home about. The air conditioning was okay, but couldn’t cool the room to a comfortable temperature. It stayed around 29 degrees while it was about 35 outside. I’d recommend the place.

Pompeii and Herculeum are close by, as are the Amalfi Coast and Sorrento, and there are some amazing restaurants nearby. The location is beautiful and quite surreal, with an awesome view of Vesuvius. Highly recommended. It’s a private house with a few rooms available. The rooms are upstairs on the top floor, small but modern, immaculate, and very well appointed. The bathroom was huge, modern, and clean. My only concern was the central air conditioning. We couldn’t get the room cool enough for our taste, so we opened the balcony door and heard all the local wildlife: dogs, donkeys, crickets, a strange bird, and even peacocks. In essence, that was our fault. Wi-Fi was only available in the rooms. Guests couldn’t use the pool while it was being modernized, which was a shame since it looks awesome. The host said the work would be finished soon, after which it would open to guests. Breakfast was simple but totally fine, served in a really grand room. Access is through an extremely tight arch entrance and up a narrow ramp, but there’s a security gate and the parking spots are picturesque.
