The house is located in the countryside, exposed to the west and, 250 meters above the sea level. Surrounded by oaks and secular olive trees, you can enjoy a stay in the absolute quiet with a pleasant climate even on warmer days, thanks to wind breeze and the freshness of vegetation.
It is accessible mainly by car with a rural road paved in concrete, and 2 meters wide. We recommended the use of not large cars as SUV, or Jeep. The house is equipped with parking for more than four cars.
Access to public transport services is rather difficult. To reach Sorrento (train station and hydrofoil) you can use SITA bus, on a regular schedule, with a stop near the village of S. Maria, which can be reached in about 20 minutes on foot
By car in 10-15 minutes you will reach the center of Massa Lubrense, Marina del Lobra, and Marina del Cantone. Sorrento can be reached in 20 minutes; Positano in 30 minutes, Pompeii by the Circumvesuviana railway in 30 minutes. To reach the station is still preferable to use the car: near the station Sorrento there are numerous parking lots.
The municipality performs a very good collection service and is very strict in respect of the timetable. Information about this is clearly stated, and the guest must bring waste at Scola Street (about 300 m from the house)
The house of olive trees is a spacious house with a large patio with amazing views. Getting to the house was a little challenging, but we managed fine, without damaging our rental car. (Kia Proceed for size reference) . And we were told that the access road will be improved in November. The house was perfectly clean when we arrived, it’s an older house, so don’t expect everything to be sterile. There are four bedrooms, three downstairs and one upstairs, and four bathrooms, two downstairs and two upstairs. The kitchen is well equipped, there were some missing items, but that was quickly taken care of. I wouldn’t recommend the house for someone with mobility issues, as it is built on a hill, there are a fair number of stairs. It wasn’t as quiet as we would have liked, there are several barking dogs on the hill and a rooster who likes to start his day at first light. But you forget all that while watching the sunset next to Capri or seeing the lights of Naples and the stars while enjoying a limoncello on the patio.
The very kind and friendly property owners met us at the bottom of the hill and escorted us up. Please note that you must have a very small car if you are to drive up the almost mile long very narrow and windy narrow pathway up to the home. Our drives up and down while staying there were daunting and we damaged our vehicles. The owners although very kind, introduced us to Simone the nextdoor neighbor who we were to contact with any questions or needs. Enzo appeared to speak very good English when we met at the home. Shortly after they left we noticed: the rooms and bathrooms were very dirty, no hot water in any of the bathrooms, and the kitchen was not fully equipped. We attempted many times to contact the owner and nextdoor neighbor. Simone would not answer our calls or knocks on the door. The owners did not respond to our calls for three days. When he finally answered he claimed to not speak English and directed us to call Simone. We saw that Simone's small car had come and gone a few times so we not only called, texted, and knocked on her door, we left her a note on her car which we know she received. Never heard from her. She came to the property the day before we left and only two of our friends were there and she was not very helpful. We all had to take very cold showers or go without showering. Bathrooms were very dirty. Views from the property are spectacular, but after staying there for 5 days we can honestly say not worth it.
We had a nice stay at this property. Cetty and her husband were very friendly hosts and very responsive if we had questions. The view from the balcony is breathtaking. The kitchen is very spacious, so great for cooking with a larger crowd of people. The road to the house is indeed very steep narrow and not in great condition. Only for very experienced drivers. If you don’t have a lot of luggage it’s also possible to park at the Main Street and walk up to the property, it takes less than 10 minutes by foot. The only negative point for us was that the pool was not in a usable state when we arrived, but the hosts provided us with all things required to clean it ourselves. For us it was a lovely stay.
