Spectacular stay. Fantastic view of the sea. The garden area full of lemon trees and flowers was perfect for our low key existence. Location is convenient to Sorrento (15 min) and not too far to Positano and Amalfi areas. The drive can be nerve wracking if you aren’t used to the narrow roads. The people in the Massa community were very friendly. Patrizia was an amazing host. Very friendly and accommodating with lots of great suggestions for us. We highly recommend this place.

Hidden gem

The location of this property is set up on the side of a mountain with the most spectacular view of the sea, Capri, Mt. Vesuvius, etc. The grounds were so lovely- it was a true island escape. The location to town was fantastic- the walk was a bit steep, but literally everything you need was right there. The host was gracious and helpful.

Great Location

This property is very well situated in Massa Lubrense away from the crowded craziness of Sorrento. The interior space is comfortable, and the large outdoor lemon garden space affords spectacular mid-day and sunset views of the coast, Ischia, and Capri. Having private parking was also a valuable plus as was very close proximity to Della Lobra Marina which meant easy access to water transport around the Sorrento/Amalfi/Capri area.

Way better than pics!

Overall excellent stay with great views! Sunset is right on the massive balcony (it is shared with other renters but so big no prob.) Apartment itself is so roomy and everything you need. Great AC which is something you do not find in a lot of places in Italy. Only downside for us was we weren’t sent exact house address so it was a bit stressful checking in. Still would absolutely stay again & highly recommend. Just get the exact address first not just the road. Patrizia & Angela were so so nice and make your stay exactly what you need.

Highly recommended!

My husband and I spent a week in Patrizia’s apartment (better described as a little cottage) and we really enjoyed it. We found it to be well furnished with everything that we needed and many things that one doesn’t always find in Italy, such as screens on all the windows, excellent lighting, a shower with plenty of hot water, and one of the most comfortable beds we’ve ever slept in. We spent many hours sitting in the garden enjoying the wonderful view of Capri and Ischia. The location is excellent; away from the crowds and chaos of Sorrento, but only a short walk into Massa Lubrense where there are restaurants, a grocery store, banks, and a convenient bus to Sorrento. Directly below the cottage is Marina della Lobra, with its restaurants on the sea where one can enjoy fresh fish. Patrizia made us feel instantly at home and was more than happy to do whatever she could to make our stay enjoyable, such as arranging a boat tour to Capri. We are looking forward to returning some day!

A Perfect Experience

We just spent two weeks in this beautiful place. The pictures do not do it justice. It is magnificent. Patrizia, the hostess, and her entire staff were amazing. She arranged tours for us and recommended the best restaurants which we indulged in over and over again. The location is perfect and the accommodations were beautiful. We cannot say enough about this listing. We cannot wait to go back again.

lidt oversolgt

fin modtagelse men udlejer rejste dagen efter ankomst væk i 3 dage. Der var ingen rengøring, ingen nyt ren sengetøj og håndklæder. 2 ruller toiletpapir til hele ugen. Stedet ligger langt fra vandet selvom det på billederne giver indtryk af noget andet. Fin parkeringsmulighed for bilen. Køkkenet var fint udstyret. prisen er for høj sammenlignet med andre muligheder i området. På grund af afstanden til ordentlig badestrand savnede man i den grad en pool.

This is a must stay!!

This property was everything we hoped for and more. From the amenities inside to the views from the patio, there was no place else that we could of stayed that could of provided a better experience. Patrizia met us with Processco and left us with memories of a lifetime. Property was updated, very clean, and provided everything we needed. The walks to the town square were unbelievable and the charm from the recommended places to visit were beyond our expectations. Capri island and Sorrento were within a short boat and bus ride that was easy to access. Patrizia gave us the best contacts for the excursions to Capri and the Amalfi coast, and was always available to answer our questions or needs. Oh did I mention free parking for your vehicle on the property if needed!! Cocktails watching the sunset on the patio with Capri in view was spectacular. Massa Lubrensa is a beautiful area to be a part of tucked in the hills, offering charm and friendly service. From the florist to the lady who made my wife's sandals, to the church bells ringing in the square, and the incredible food and service from the family owned Grace bar and restaurant. We ate there four times! If we ever have the opportunity to return to the area we would without question stay here once again. Ciao!!

Beautiful Setting and Gracious Host

The apartment overlooks the Bay of Naples and Capri. It is very clean and well stocked for a nice stay and you cannot beat the view - especially at sunset. The owner is quite lovely and helpful - arranging trips to the Almafi Coast and even sharing her Sunday ragu with us. Masa Lubrense is a small community outside of Sorrento - a good home base from which to explore the area.

The property was nice but payment problems with Homeaway

The property has a beautiful view and is away from the touristy areas but easy to get to them if you have a car or take the bus just up the street. There are nice restaurants within walking distance and the marina is close by as well with access to sightseeing ferries to Capri or Amalfi Coast. A car is recommended and day trips to Naples, Pompei, the Paestum Greek ruins, Positano etc. which are all easy to do from here. As long as the terms are to pay in full at booking time with Homeaway's full guarantee, this property is great. Unfortunately, of all the places we booked through Homeaway et al, this was the only one that didn't ask for full payment upfront. We received reminders a few days ahead from Homeaway to pay the balance, so we paid on our credit card and received a receipt confirmation from Homeaway. Upon arrival, the hostess wanted us to pay the balance again in cash saying that she has a special contract with Homeaway. I showed her the receipt and there was a bunch of unsettling drama leaving us both calling Homeaway and in our case we have since received a $150+ phone bill for all the failed overseas calls related to this mess. Eventually someone at Homeaway confirmed to the hostess that the money was received and she just had to accept it, so she apologized to us although she was still mad at Homeaway. (We knew nothing of any special cash only arrangements, and we wouldn't have booked there if we'd known that as there would be no proof of payment or protection for us). Everything was fine for the next 4 nights, but then on the last night she called saying that Homeaway is saying they don't have the money any more(?!). Once again we spent two hours on phone calls overseas to Homeaway which kept getting cut off. Furious, we just paid cash so we could go for dinner before the restaurants closed as the stores already had. Two evenings were ruined because of the strange payment issue, and sadly that is what we most remember of this stay.
