HIBISCUS HOUSE ON THE LEMON TRAIL

This property is absolutely beautiful. The views are unmatched and incredible. It is also a nice secluded area so it’s quiet and peaceful. The hosts were so gracious and helpful. They were very kind. There are a lot of steps to get there, it’s a significant hike to get to the door, but it is worth it.

Ornella and her husbands are really friendly hosts!

The location absolutely beautiful, the view on the Minori bay area and on Ravello is magnificent! Ornella is super quick to answer and truly helpful! We had problems with our phones and she called for us to book tours around. Its clean and in the center of lemon trees and flowers. There is a good walk with 100 stairs to get there from the private parking spot (10€ per days) but Ornella’s son and partner helped us with luggage. There is also a good walk with 500 stairs to get down to Minori (10-15 min) we made it multiple times and we are still alive so you should be too. If you dont want to get down or up walking, there is a shuttle doing 3/4 every hour (1€) or a golfcart (cheaper than taxi). Minori was really nice with a good bakery and not filled with people like amalfi. Better stay in Minori than Maiori. There is a cool walk near the apartment, sentiero dei limoni! Really beautiful!

The property was everything we were hoping for. A beautiful location with views of Minori and Ravello that were absolutely stunning. Although the location was somewhat of a challenge we so enjoyed the area that it was hardly noticed and the benefits were worthwhile. But what really made the visit so memorable was the incredible graciousness of the hosts. They were more like family than hosts and were so heartfelt in their help and local knowledge. We will certainly consider revisiting in the future and referring our friends to this wonderful villa.

We had an absolute treasure of an experience at the Hibiscus House. It came exactly as advertised and was incredibly well-appointed, with everything we needed for a short-term stay. Although the house does require some stairs to get to, the view is absolutely breathtaking and makes the experience so worthwhile. Ornella and her family were so gracious, courteous and helpful in making the check-in and check-out process smooth and provided everything we needed during our stay - we certainly appreciated their kindness throughout our stay. We will absolutely seek the Hibiscus House next time we go through Minori.

Beautiful view of Minori, was a straight view of Revello. Place is small, but was a good fit for me and one other friend. There is a decent sized bedroom and a second bed in a loft. Host was great with communication and even picked us up from the bus stop to drive us to the house. There are a lot steps leading up the the house so I would definitely pack light. Overall, we had a very nice time in Minori!

Ornella and he husband are gracious and lovely hosts. They help bring your bags up and down the many stairs at the beginning and end of your trip. They even gave us a ride to the ferry dock upon leaving. I highly suggest buying a bottle of their lemon juice, it is sweetened and makes the best lemonade when combined with water. The lemon grove is beautiful and more than worth the many stairs to get there.

We loved our stay. The hosts were very nice and easy to communicate with. The view from the house was breathtaking., although you need to be able bodied, as there is hundred of steps to get down to the center of town. Very quiet surrounding and therefore ideal place to relax. Would recommend.

My friend and I stayed at the ibiscus holiday house for 4 nights and had a fantastic experience! Ornella was very communicative over email and WhatsApp as soon as I booked the rental. She even had her husband meet us at the ferry in Minori to drive us up the mountain to their farm and carry our 2 very heavy luggages up the remaining stairs! The house was exactly as listed with a basic kitchenette, plenty hot water, working AC for €0.50 per use, one bedroom and a loft. The property was very clean and well cared for. The view just outside the front door was incredible and we enjoyed relaxing outside every night once it cooled down, though I would recommend bringing bug spray for the mosquitos. The other reviews are not exaggerating when they say there are many steps from the town of Minori to the house, but there is a bus that runs most of the way up the mountain to the farm entrance and there are many places to stop and rest if you choose to take the stairs. Walking down to the town took us less than 10 minutes and walking up took us just less than 30 minutes with several breaks. We made the most of it and called it “the original stairmaster.” That being said, my friend and I are both young and very healthy and I would not recommend staying here if you or your family are not able to walk around 100 stairs from the bus stop to the house. Ornella gave us great tips for public transportation and recommendations for restaurants and things to do around the area. She also offered us homemade limoncello and lemon juice for €5 each from the lemon farm where the house is located, simply delicious! Her husband and son also carried our bags and drove us to the ferry on the morning we checked out which was so appreciated. A hospitable host, beautiful property and overall one of my best experiences with VRBO thus far. If you’re looking to stay away from the crowds and instead take a short ferry to Salerno, Amalfi, Positano, Sorrento or Capri for day trips, this is the perfect place to book!

This one is special. To reach the house you have to be willing to climb plenty of steps (even if you take the local minibus from the Basilica that takes you more than halfway up). But once you're up at the house the view over the lemon trees (it's a working lemon farm, a limoneto) that gives to the sea, to Minori, and to Ravello on the opposite mountainside is breathtaking. There are two apartments in the house, so it's suitable for two families or groups (willing to climb stairs). The host Ornella and her husband are very kind and quick to help with anything a guest might need.

Friendly and kind owners. A perfect location.
