Villa Lauro is an incredible property and Giulia was probably the best host I’ve ever have dealt with. From the very beginning of booking this property, she contacted me and assisted in helping plan our entire trip. From our private boat guided tour of the Amalfi Coast, Pompei tour, Ravello, Positano, dinners, private chef, delivered breakfasts every morning set up on the patio, she couldn’t have been more helpful or quick to respond.
The Villa itself is gorgeous as well. Yes, there are a lot of stairs to get to it but Giulia arranged porters to help with the bags (even for our 4:30AM departure to get back to Rome) and what is at the end of the climb is well worth it. Such an amazing property, from the view to the patio to the Villa itself, it really is perfect.
The location was also great. Just outside the gates to the Villa is the GAS Bar which has drink, snacks and a restaurant upstairs with, what we thought was really good food! Sandwiches, pizza’s, pasta, appetizer. We ate there a couple of times and always enjoyed it. A very quick ride to Amalfi (it was a 40 Euro cab ride for a 5 min ride, which seemed a bit excessive) and we arranged drivers to visit the other beautiful cities along the coast.
The only thing that I couldn’t tell from the pictures is that the patio isn’t connected to the Villa. It’s just outside the front door down a few stairs. There is a great balcony connected to Villa. Would love to come back!
