Villa Principessa

We were greeted by Giuseppe on arrival who was so helpful with showing us around, offered to assist With anything that we needed. The villa was well equipped and had everything we needed. We cooked a few times, had a bbq and everything you would have at your own home. Giuseppe would help in so many ways, helped find a cooking class, where to find the butcher’s and offered to go into town on his motorbike to collect groceries and wine always friendly. We did have to ask to get a a dentist appt which he did for the next day and even drove us to the appt. The villa, accomodation offered lounge room with dinning and lounge area on ground level, up next level of stairs was main bedroom with comfy bed, amd ensuite and another bedroom we had 3 single beds in here and another bathroom. If you venture up another flight of stairs there was another big bedroom and bathroom, more like a bedsit as had fridge and coffee machine and small patio to sit. We didn’t use this room as so many stairs. The kitchen area was one flight of stairs down from the lounge room, another bathroom with a washing machine. The kitchen was lovely homely feel, well stocked with fruit and basic ingredients. Another dining table a couch with turned bed which was comfortable! We had started to miss our own beds while on holidays. We would spend most of our time here as you could access the terrace with outdoor table, bbq, lounge chairs and 4 daybeds. was so tranquil. We only ventured to the ocean twice as it was about 10 flights of stairs down but when you got down there it was a great spot to swim in the ocean. There was about 12 day beds and shared with other guest. To access the pool, from ground level a little walk from the villa, up about 8 flights stairs, we spend most of our time here and offered lots of day beds, great pool and shade under the lemon trees. Giuseppe would go into town for the guest and us to purchase pizza and cold drinks, and we really enjoyed our lunch up here by the pool. The villa, the location and the service was fantastic. A special thanks to Giuseppe Who made Our stay that bit more enjoyable? We would recommend and would staying here again.

My daughter and I had a lovely stay July of 2025. Giuseppe was so helpful with car pick up in Naples, dinner reservations, etc. The apartment is located on a beautiful hillside overlooking the sea. It feels very authentic Italian seaside. You can walk down the stairs to a swim platform if you wish to go in the ocean. Or walk across the street and up a hill for a gorgeous Infiniti pool overlooking the ocean. There are plenty of private outdoor spaces you can enjoy. We did not use the kitchen, but it was stocked w snacks and fresh fruit. The only comment I’d make is this would not be an ideal location for anyone w mobility issues. There are lots of stairs and you have to walk 10 mins along a very busy narrow road to get into town. Minori is a charming smaller town on the Amalfi coast. There are plenty of restaurants, but it is a quieter, more authentic feeling than some of the other cities. You can take a ferry to places like Amalfi, Positano, Capri, etc for a day of shopping and other activities and then return to the peacefulness of Minori.

We had an excellent trip to rivello. The views from the place are amazing. It is walking distance to minori. Giuseppe was a great host and bent over backwards to be helpful, including making reservations and arranging rides to the wonderful restaurants at Santa Caterina. Highly recommend the place for a family or group. Rooms: 5/5Service: 5/5Location: 5/5 Hotel highlights Great view, Child-friendly, Great value

The accommodation is quaint and romantic for a couple, the fact that it’s cleaned every day and fresh linen and towels is a welcoming change because it just happens. Having lived in Italy for 4 years the air conditioning unit does not do the job, it’s in the wrong location above the door as it can’t compete with the heat. The terraces need some care and attention as they are overgrown and require some gardening, as this spoils the view and also attracts mosquitoes that do bite so take plenty of creams and deterrents. The photos on the website need updating as there is no grass on the terraces and the seat needs some tlc, if you present a photo then that’s what the guest expects when paying in excess of €400 a night to stay. The location is second to none, yes as it’s on the Amalfi coast there are steps to traverse but don’t book if you don’t know this, it won’t distract from the charm but in the heat it can be challenging. The pool is everything you need, cooling and panoramic views. The sea access unfortunately is misleading and not easy to traverse with no bathrooms, meaning you have you to go back up the steps if you require one. The reason I would book again knowing all of the above is Guiseppe, from the moment we arrived until our last day he was nothing more than exceptional. From delivering our daily supplies, to providing transport into Minori no matter what, recommending restaurants and being welcomed on arrival and having a magical experience because Guiseppe had arranged it. Without Guiseppe I wouldn’t return and that’s being honest . A charming place that just needs a little tweak.
