Beautiful XVIII Century Farm House with swimming pool. Near Sorrento

Lovely converted house, swimming pool set in lemon grove, both with views over the Gulf of Naples. Short walk to the town of Massa Lubrense. Vicky was a very warm and welcoming host.

We stayed at Ludovica's property for a three-generation family vacation. The space was well equipped and beautifully appointed, especially the lovely terrace which we enjoyed in the mornings and the evenings when the temperatures were cool enough to sit there. We appreciated the fact that each of the bedrooms had its own bathroom—very useful for a group of this size. The location is handy for visiting other spots on the Gulf of Naples, though without a car (because we were such a large group) we were reliant on the sometimes rather costly but admirably efficient local taxi company to get us around. There was a wonderful swimming spot off the rocks at Marina della Lobra which was a 15-20 minutes walk away down and up a very steep path—not suitable for the infirm or out of shape. Ludovica was very helpful before our arrival and during our stay; we especially appreciated her recommendation of the restaurant Da Michele in Marina della Lobra. We were delighted to discover this part of Italy and look forward to visiting the area again.

Thank you Ludovica for everything. My guests and I had a wonderful time at your house. We were all pleased with the location. There was just a short bus ride to Sorrento and from there we could go anywhere we wanted. Ludovica was extremely helpful even giving us a ride to Sorrento to catch the train to Sorrento on our last day. The housekeeper was amazing. She came in on Saturdays and cleaned, changed all of the linens, etc. The whole stay was exceptional Verna

We had such a wonderful time staying at this renovated and lovely farm house. Ludovica was most hospitable and our accommodations were perfect for our family. There is one bedroom suite down stairs next to the living room and kitchen. The second bedroom is up the stairs. The third and fourth bedrooms are up the outside stairs and both have their own bathrooms. There are lovely views from all of the windows of the Sea further out. Its a short walk in to town on a narrow curvy road (which is typical for this area). There are a couple of grocery stores and several restaurants that we ate at in town. We also explored several areas to sunbathe and swim in the glorious Mediterranean Sea. I would suggest renting a small car so as to be able to drive up the steep and narrow road to the house. Otherwise you must park down below and walk up. Everywhere you go in this hilly part of the country will be walking up fairly steep roads and stairs, so it was not a problem for us. This area is less touristy than many of the surrounding cities and we really enjoyed less crowds. Highly recommended area for exploring and hiking.

Ludovica’s property is located on a hill overlooking the ocean and the small town of Massa Lubrense. It has great views of Capri and ocean views from all the rooms of her property. The property was in walking distance of restaurants, bars, and markets. Ludovica was a great host, and booked us tours of Capri and arranged a private driver to Positano. Could not be more pleased with our stay with Ludovica!

Our two families enjoyed the beautiful villa at Massa Lubrense. The views of the Bay of Naples are stunning from the patio, and there was plenty of room for all, with four bedrooms and four baths, and a kitchen that provided all that we needed for cooking. We enjoyed the short walk to the village shops for groceries, and we also had some great meals in the local restaurants, based on recommendations from Ludovica. She was a great hostess, and very responsive to any needs. She gave us recommendations for sight-seeing, shopping, and even called a friend to ensure that we would have parking when we visited Positano on the Amalfi Coast. Massa Lubrense provides a respite from tourists and the traffic flows of Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast. We loved this place and hope to return!

We arrived at night,and woke next morning to the most beautiful view! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay,lovely villa, very helpful host,great location,can’t wait to come back.

House was beautiful and spacious. The area was gorgeous. Ludovica was very sweet. Her restaurant suggestions were superb. Came all the way from Texas. Hope to come back.

A lovely old property in a stunning situation, in an area which has the great advantage of being somewhat off the beaten tourist track. The villa offers plenty of spacious and comfortable accommodation, although it's worth noting that there are a lot of steep steps to negotiate. There are bars and great restaurants within walking distance, and also the facilities to eat at the villa in beautiful surroundings.

My husband and I rented Ludivica’s 4 bedroom villa for one month. We had family and friends visit us through out the month. It was a vacation of a life time. The living room was relaxing and comfortable for eight of us to have dinner and play games in the evening. The kitchen had all the amenities we needed to make meals when necessary. Each bedroom was spacious and had a full bathroom. There was a view of the water from each bedroom which allowed for spectacular sunsets of the Bay of Naples. The patio was perfect for the occasional aperitif in the early evening before dinner as the sun set. Its location in MasseLubrense allowed us to walk into town, the marina, and foot paths around the area. From town, we could catch the city bus and get to Sorrento. From Sorrento, we could get a bus or train to go to all the wonderful sites in the region. Ludovica was the perfect hostess. She was helpful and available whenever we needed her. We will definitely return to her villa for another vacation.
