IL CIUCCIO - Le Contrade by Sosòre Holiday Homes - Amalfi Coast

This apartment has two nicely furnished large rooms. One, a comfortable bedroom and the second a very well equipped kitchen and living room. Both rooms have a wall mounted TV. It is all very well decorated with beautiful tiled floors and nice touches like hand painted tiles of donkeys in the bathroom and a mural of the local fjord in the kitchen. There is good sized toilet and shower room, plus a balcony that stretches the whole length of both rooms. On the balcony there is a table and 4 chairs plus a couple of deck chairs and two sun beds. It is perfect for catching the sun gazing at the passing boats. Above the apartment there is a communal sun terrace with some comfortable sun beds and parasols. There is also a nice small swimming the pool in the gardens. The owners of Il Ciuccio, Sosore Holiday Homes are very friendly and helpful. So much so that after making our booking on line we exchanged several emails with them in which we gathered a lot of good information about public transport, local shopping and the best restaurants in the area and beyond. On arrival we were met by Paola one of the four sisters who run the complex. She was very warm and extremely helpful to us. After showing us to the apartment shed gave us all the information that we needed for our stay and then after that, she was kind enough to keep in touch with by WhatsApp and to even arrange to have us picked and taken to dinner by some of the nearby restaurants who provide that service for diners.

Loved the property and owners, location was beautiful but challenging to drive, property was amazing!

Very nice apartment. Magnificent sea view. Very beautiful gardens with swimming pool. The hosts are very friendly and always available to help us.

This place was fantastic! It’s tucked away from the hustle and bustle of tourists found in Amalfi and Positano. The hosts are amazing and thought of everything. This is the cleanest place that I’ve ever stayed, bright and very comfortable. The grounds are incredible and the pool/lounging area was perfect. We rented a car and parking was available. This allowed us to come and go as we please and visit all the surrounding towns. We took the bus one day (which picked us up right outside the front gates) and goes into Amalfi - making it easy to catch a ferry wherever you choose. A great time- please eat at Serafina and check out Lemon Likes- they are fantastic!

We loved this stay! The villa was very clean and Paola was extremely accommodating. It had everything we needed. The best part was the views from every spot on the property. It all overlooked the coastline and sea and having the balcony was perfect. The pool was also a great bonus! While the location was a bit challenging to get to Positano and Amalfi from (challenging but we did it! Paola gave us helpful directions and tips- most of this was because in July the coast is packed with people), we honestly didn’t even need to leave if we didn’t want to. The Villa itself was just what we needed. There is a grocery, pharmacy, bar/coffee spot, and a few restaurants all walking distance. The best part of our location was being away from the crowds but still being able to enjoy all that the Amalfi coast has to offer. Paola and her sister were both extremely helpful and available if we needed. The Villa was everything we could have hoped for and was perfect for a relaxing trip. I loved the town of Furore and would absolutely stay there again!

We were met by Paulina, one of the owners, outside of the apartment upon arrival. Not enough words to describe our amazing stay. And the owners remained available to us throughout our week long stay. The Amalfi Coast view overlooks the Mediterranean Sea. Gorgeous Italian tiles on the walls and floors with Italian tables inside and out, spacious areas outside of our apartment with fruits and flowers, olive trees, water fountains and a swimming pool. Locked gate to enter the property felt safe. Street traffic is very light and quiet. Off the beaten path in a Heavenly Grace sort of way. Nearby grocer and restaurants and bars within walking distance. The bed and bedroom were comfortable and charming with special charm throughout - the TVs worked - the kitchen and bathroom were stocked with basics and few extras, including wine and water. We will return without a doubt in the future and recommend this property 100%. Note: I almost rented another place for a few euros less per night, but opted to take this one without 100+ stairs in and out of the property, and I'm so thankful for that single choice to Italy. This property will forever remain a large part of our beautiful memory of our 34th anniversary vacation. EVEN FREE PARKING! Thank you, Paulina and family.

The apartment was absolutely beautiful and spotless. The view was fantastic, and the owners were extremely accommodating as far as any questions we had. They always responded in a timely manner. The only thing I would suggest, which we didn't do, is to rent a car if you're staying in this location so that you won't be at the mercy of the bus schedule. Aside from that, you couldn't find a more beautiful place to stay on the Amalfi Coast.

We couldn't have been more pleased with our stay. The apartment is just as its shown online - it is well-equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Paola and her sister greeted us with a warm welcome and made us feel like we were guests in her own home. She showed us around the apartment and grounds to make sure we knew where everything was and also gave us a list of local restaurants, ferry schedules and excursion recommendations. There is a relaxing pool next to a beautiful garden with basil, rosemary and lemons that we could help ourselves to. The apartment was very clean and well-equipped. The shower had incredible water pressure (for my standards - I'm from California) and the A/C was very quiet. It's located in a quiet neighborhood with a beautiful view - this is a wonderful place to relax. Our only complaint is that we didn't stay longer. There will definitely be a next time!

The property was beautiful. It is just as shown in the pictures. We were lucky enough to have great weather and enjoy the view from our patio every morning and evening. Just perfect.

Paola and her sisters have a gem of a property. My family (wife and two teenage daughters) had plenty of room. The place was spotless and looked brand new. In fact, it was even better than the pictures. Three decks and a pool included. Highly recommend this place. Checkin with Paola was easy and she constantly communicated with us from the point of reservation onward.
