Villa, private pool and sea views in Amalfi Coast, Campania, Italy

Beautiful villa with plenty of room for everyone to relax. Short drive to Positano and Sorrento. Excellent host who made our stay one to remember.

The home is beautiful. Sunny, and has a lovely outdoor area. It is not near the Amalfi sights, so requires either having a car or getting taxis to get anywhere.

This Villa was a magnificent size for our grown up family. Privacy for all. The pool was a spectacular feature for when down days were needed. The pool table was used everyday. The host is AMAZING - one of a kind and super knowledgable about the area as a Master of the sea. His recommendations for all things local were bang on the money. And the spectacular meal prepared at home by your host and his wife was definitely one of the highlights of our stay. It was truly lovely having the opportunity to get to know one another a little better. We do recommend a car service, if you are not driving your own vehicle. Your host can help you with that. The city buses are often full going into Positano, so it's easy to lose 1-2 hours waiting to hop on one of them. You fare better going the other way, into Sorrento, but for some random reason, the waits are not reliable, despite being able to buy bus tickets literally at the end of the Villa's driveway. Also a great little restaurant called Zio Sam is within walking distance from the Villa, as is a small grocery store and two coffee bars. This host provides a personal touch throughout your stay, as he ensures he remains a stone's throw away. Highly recommend for a fabulous experience - do not hesitate.

Nice property. Good amenities. Has a good water view (from rooftop). Water pressure is weak when 2 showers are going at once. Very workable kitchen and supplies for cooking in. Really well positioned for access to Positano and Sorrento.

Awesome location - for activities in Positano/Capri/Sorrento - an excellent escape from the busy, full of tourists of the local towns - but still very close so that you can drive (or taxi) home after an evening out! Great house with a pool and comfortable bedrooms for everyone! Ensuite bathrooms were a bonus and the kitchen was fantastic for food prep when we decided to stay in! Host prepared a super first meal for us upon our arrival and also arranged for a fabulous boat trip to explore Capri and the waters around Sorrento! Plus the views form the house are fantastic! Definitely a 10 out of 10 in our minds!! Enjoy!

This one-of-a-kind villa, nestled in the hills overlooking the Bay of Sorrento, provided everything me and my family were looking for. Eight of us total, we found the accommodations perfect for our needs. The bathrooms were comparatively spacious, given the typical Italian ones, and all bedrooms were comfortably air-conditioned...a much-welcomed relief given the hot August weather. There is ample room for dining both indoors and outdoors, and the outdoor dining area was our chosen place to meet, especially for early morning coffee. The kitchen was well-equipped, and we did prepare a few meals, but the true highlight of our stay at Villa Jacono was having two of our meals prepared by Teresa, Ettore's wife. She uses the freshest of vegetables and seafood to prepare some of the finest meals we had during our two-week stay in Italy. Both Teresa and Ettore live on the grounds and are very unobtrusive, but they are always ready to help if there is a problem or a request you may have. We enjoyed them so much that we invited them to sit with us for after dinner drinks and discussion on more than one occasion! Ettore also arranged a private boat trip around Capri for us as well as a driver (Chicco!) who is worth the price of admission--both at very reasonable prices. And did I mention the pool? It's where we spent most of our time when at the Villa, and it is a definite plus. The villa is located about twenty minutes from Sorrento by car which is limiting if you don't have a vehicle, but there is a local grocery store that is within a 5-minute walk where you can get drinks, delicious paninis, wine, paper goods, and produce. A little farther from the villa is a restaurant Zio Sam's which has wonderful pizza, pastas, etc. All in all, I don't believe you will be disappointed in this property. We give it 5 stars!

Property was great, It was clean and picturesque. The kitchen is fully stocked. Ettore was a complete gentleman. He was responsive, attentive and provided us with insights into the area. I would recommend this property and look forward to visiting again.

Ettore and Teresa were wonderful hosts. The villa is lovely, the pool area is the star of the show. Please note there are no bathtubs, only showers. The location is a good central point for traveling to Sorrento, Capri, Positano, but be prepared to spend a lot of money on taxis unless you have the patience to deal with the Italian transit system. There is a wonderful breakfast/lunch spot a short walk away and a truly wonderful dinner spot a little further but still walkable. I definitely recommend having Teresa prepare you a meal one evening - it was the highlight of the trip and was an extra special way to celebrate my dad’s birthday.

the property is as described with a lovely pool area. unique designed villa, beautiful location and gardens. ettore and teresa arranged a meal in the villa for us one night which was out of this world. the girls loved the lemon tiramisu. also one of our party was gluten free which was no problem at all to teresa. we arranged taxi travel with francesco daiky which was fantastic as he really took care of his 8 chickens - as he called us. all 8 of us thoroughly enjoyed our trip especially our 2 canadian cousins. thank you ettore and teresa.

Our family of 7 thoroughly enjoyed this villa - it’s in a great location, clean, has beautiful views and the owners were kind and welcoming. Teresa, owner, made us dinner on the first night - one of the best meals during our 2 week stay in Italy. The villa is the perfect home base to experience the Amalfi coast.
