Villa la Ventana

Ho soggiornato presso questa struttura con mio marito e mio figlio di 2 anni e 1/2 per il ponte del weekend del 25 aprile 2022. Di location belle in costiera ve ne sono molte ma ciò che distingue La Ventana è l'atmosfera familiare che si respira grazie alla gestione di tre fratelli che sono disponibili ad ogni ora e talmente affabili da farti sentire davvero a casa. La struttura è in una posizione vicina alle principali attrazioni della zona ma al tempo stesso lontana dal caos. Eccellente la colazione, così come il comfort delle camere. In estate sarà ancora più bello soggiornarvi potendo usufruire di piscina e giardino all'aperto. Assolutamente consigliato sia per un weekend romantico che per una vacanza con amici o in famiglia. Consigliatissimo!

June 2023 We were a group of 20, 10 couples, all from the USA. My partner and I were the coordinators of the trip and arranged all of the bookings, accommodations, transportation, side trips and meal plans with the input and approval of the group. We collected all of the money ahead of time that needed to be paid to the villa, transportation, guides, and meals that we had arranged for. We are not travel agents, we have a passion for travel and the research that goes into pulling it all off - thank goodness for a spreadsheet! Booking the villa for all 10 rooms for the week we wanted was very easy to do over email. We had a prior contact in Sorrento with the uncle of the owners of the villa so that helped. The villa only has 10 rooms so we knew the villa would be ours for the week we were there (June 10th - 17th, 2023). We booked the villa about 12 months in advance. The villa also had all ensuite rooms, which again made it all that much easier to choose this villa over others. Angelo, Guitano, and Danilio, were our gracious hosts and insured that we enjoyed our stay from start to finish. The villa is beautifully perched on the hillside and overlooks the bay of Amalfi below and the town of Praiano and to the far left you can see the bay of Sorrento in front of the town, such gorgeous views. The villa is clean, the beds were fine, AC worked better than anticipated, and breakfast was what we expected. We used the pool and the jacuzzi and laid out in the sun and just loved it all. The grounds were well maintained and they had lovely gardens to take in. Adjacent to the pool and jacuzzi area was an outdoor pavilion with a ping pong table and a big table to hold dinners at. Two of the seven nights we were there, we arranged to have a sit down meal which we planned for the first night of our arrival and on the last night as our going away party. The cost was agreed to prior to arriving. The dinners were well received and the brothers did a great job along with Mamma, we had a great time! Breakfast consisted of yogurt, rolls, sweet breads, tarts and cereals, coffee, milk and a couple of juices. We were offered omelets to anyone that wanted one for a small extra charge, we also asked that there be some fruit on the buffet, which they quickly obliged us with the next morning consisting of bananas, oranges, peaches, and other seasonal fruit. Coffee service was handled on an individual basis by Danilio each day and he did a great job keeping up with our list of coffee and tea requests. The only cons to the entire villa experience were the extras we didn't know about up front. If you wanted a change of bath towels it was 5 euros, pool towels were 5 euros, an extra roll of toilet paper was 5 euros, everything extra was basically 5 euros. I would suggest that they reconsider their extra fees and roll it into the cost of the room rate and get rid of the extra costs altogether or state over and above a daily allowance. I will say

Un cadre unique 😍 une vue à couper le souffle, tout était parfait ! Merci Angelo et ses frères pour leur accueil et leur gentillesse 🙏 Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir. Mille mercis pour tout !! Jessica et Cedric
