About this property
Villa with sea water swimming pool and direct access to the sea
Magnificent villa on three levels with large garden, swimming pool with seawater, descent to private sea. Built in the 1970s, it enjoys a breathtaking view of Capri and the Gulf of Naples. It is located in one of the most beautiful corners of the coast of Massa Lubrense, less than ten minutes, by car, from the center of the village. The villa is divided into two main houses, in the same building, completely independent, which nevertheless use the pool and the descent to the sea. This description refers only to the property called "Il Geco" subject of the description below. The second property can be occupied by the owners or their guests. Access to the villa is through an avenue of a private park with automatic gate on the provincial road Massa-Marciano (via IV Novembre, 36). The swimming pool, used from May to October, is filled with seawater; it is about 10 m x 6 m wide with a depth ranging from 1.5 to 3.5 m. The terraces around the pool, imposing directly on the sea, require assistance for children, as there are no complete fences. There are deckchairs and sunbeds. Bathing in the pool is a unique experience and you can get the impression of being suspended on the sea. Only 100 steps allow direct access to the sea, through a private descent of the villa, with access to the rocks. The main entrance of "Il Geco" is entirely occupied by the main living room (about 60 square meters), the dining room, a small bathroom and the kitchen. The large living room overlooks one of the large terraces with two large window doors; the two large windows at the corners of the room are oriented towards Capri and the Faraglioni and the second towards Vesuvius. The room has a large fireplace that is fully functional, which, on cooler evenings, becomes the center of the living space, surrounded by sofas. The living room is equipped with a Hi-Fi system with CD player and a turntable (there is an extensive collection of classical music records). In one corner of the room there is a large TV screen, connected to a satellite antenna that allows you to watch the main international channels, as well as Italian TV. There is phone and open wi-fi connection. The villa has 4 double bedrooms with independent bathroom and AC. The additional 2 bedrooms with bunk beds, and a room with one and a half square beds and independent bathroom are available on request. The equipment, all perfectly and regularly functioning are the original ones of the villa. All double rooms have air conditioning. The total number of beds is 8 (+5 on request). The main bedroom of the house, is on level -1. It is about 40 square meters and has a large window door on the front terrace (large independent panoramic terrace on level -1) and a side window. The main double bed and furniture are in "Italian" style. In the room there is a separate dressing room with a large mirror. The room has an external and internal telephone line and air conditioning. The bathroom is in front of the room access pass and has toilet, bidet, sink and shower. The second double bedroom on level -1 has two windows that open onto two different views. Air conditioning. The attached bathroom has toilet, bidet, sink and shower. The third double bedroom on level +1, has a panoramic balcony and a side window. The attached bathroom has toilet, sink and shower. Air conditioning. The fourth double bedroom has two windows and a large private hallway. The attached bathroom has toilet, bidet, sink and shower. Air conditioning. the 3 optional single rooms have bunk beds. an optional fourth bedroom has a bed a square and a half and independent bathroom and air conditioning. The construction is from 1970 and therefore, although in good condition, the villa demonstrates a certain age. Tourist taxes will be paid directly to the owner (7.5 Euro/week/person > 12 years).THere is also to pay the consumption of electricity.This will be calculated through the measurements at the meters at the entrance and returning at check out any savings compared to the amount advanced

It was the wrong season for the pool, but our kids loved playing in the outdoor spaces even in January. The household manager was wonderful. Our three families had enough room to relax, share meals and play lots of board games.
The property was absolutely perfect. We felt we had stepped into our own little piece of paradise. It was even better than described. The views of Capri and Vesuvius were breath taking and the pool area beautiful.Sonja was so helpful with any queries we had about the local area.

NELLO POLESE
The location is absolutely magical. Each room has beautiful views of the gardens or the sea, Vesuvius or Capri. Sunset dinners facing the sea were enjoyed by everyone, and the pool was in near-continuous use by our family.
Great place for large groups, well situated and easy with the car service recommended. The place is on the older side (furniture, bed, bathroom), but the view and the opportunity to all have our own bedrooms is great. The pool was lovely and the terrasse to all eat together as well. Great responsiveness of the manager, making everything easy.
We truly enjoyed our stay. The sunsets were amazing and the hospitality from our host was spot on. I would definitely return and recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing memorable time.
We had a lovely stay in Massa Lubrense. The views from the villa are outstanding, and it is quiet and private. We really enjoyed how communicative the property manager was - she was excellent at providing recommendations. The drivers she recommended were excellent. It is worth noting that it is a long (uphill) walk to Massa Lubrense. We had planned to take the bus into Sorrento and were largely unable to do so because the walk was further than it appears on Google Maps. We ended up using a private driver a lot of the time.

Slice of paradise, far from the hustle and bustle of Naples. The view of Capri from the multiple entertainment spaces was a dream! Spacious, clean, and perfect for our large party. Would absolutely stay again!

Thanks for the review. I really appreciate your staying in villa and the clearness WHEN YOU LEFT.
This home was perfect for our 3 generation family trip. Plenty of room for the 12 of us, but great space on the main floor and outdoors for us all to hang out together too. Sonja was a dream to work with and was very communicative both before and during our visit. I would gladly recommend this Villa to anyone. We hope to visit again soon!
Our family enjoyed every moment of our stay in Massa Lubrense. The house is so spacious and clean and the property manager helped us with every aspect of our stay . There was a road race the weekend that we stayed and she helped us determine when there was a window for us to leave for our cooking class. I was most worried about how we would get to town and back as we did not feel that we could drive on the coast. The property manager put us in contact with a lovely family taxi service that was incredibly helpful. The views are incredible and we can not say enough good things about our stay
We had quite a big group (5 adults, 8 children), but we fitted well to the villa and enjoyed our time very much. Really unique place and surroundings. Thank you!

Our 3 families enjoyed an amazing week staying here in Massa Lubrense. Sonja was an excellent host who attended to all our enquires. The food prepared by Franko, Titina and Tonia was absolutely incredible. We highly recommend.😀
A beautiful villa with wonderful views to Capri and Vesuvius. Nello was so helpful with the organisation and Sonia was on hand to provide information and suggestions throughout our stay. The sea water pool was wonderful. All very relaxing

I have been lucky to meet your group and to receive you in my villa.
Our family enjoyed the villa! We had 10 adults and two babies under two. There was plenty of room to spread out. We hiked down to the water several times and enjoyed the sunset. Very relaxing.
The location of this property is excellent for visiting the Amalfi Coast destinations. Property Manager is knowledgeable, available and very helpful. Views of Capri, Naples and Vesuvius. Relaxing sound of the boats passing buy. Spacious home. The town of Massa Lubrense is also a wonderful destination.
Loved our stay at the villa. Plenty of room and rooms with million door views of Capri, Naples & Mt Vesuvius. Extensive gardens and lovely pool area. Nello and Sonja were easy to communicate with and we’re very helpful, caring and informative.
Easy transfers available if required but rental vehicle for shopping, beaches preferred.
Villa could do with some maintenance but all in all a fabulous stay.
Absolutely lived up to our expectations. Nello's Villa was the perfect location to visit Sorrento peninsula for a week. The village of Massa Lubrense was walkable via the path above the olive groves. Restaurants and Marina were great and the locals made us feel like family. Coming back to the villa after busy days in Capri or hiking path of gods in Amalfi or touring Pompei was the best. The pool and outdoor verandas and views were so relaxing. Sonia, Persico transfer service and Ms Titina were amazing to work with and made our vacation so much easier. I recommend Persico car service over renting a car for sure. They know the property well and the drivers had incredible recommendations for so many beaches, wineries, restaurants etc.Our adult children did rent scooters for the week which were handy for nearby exploring of Termini and Nerano and going into to town for groceries. Cant wait to return some day
This property is stunning. Plenty of rooms for everyone. We had the privilege to stay at Nello's home for 3 days. Friends from the Netherlands met us and we enjoyed a relaxing time together. The chef that was offered to us made the most fantastic authentic Italian food. Sonja was wonderful and answered all our questions quickly. I highly recommend!

High Kim
thank you for the nice review I am very happy that you have fully enjoyed what Il Geco has made available to you
This place (while a little tricky to get to) made our dream vacation magical! The grounds alone are beautiful … the pool … the sea. It was all just perfect! Our host was amazing.
Only thing I would change is more pillows and towels. But we did wash them so as it wasn’t ideal to do laundry it didn’t take much to do it. I would give this property a 12 out of 10! Just beautiful
I don't know where to begin with describing how enjoyable our stay was at Nello's property. We walked in to paradise - the property had everything our party of 6 could need. Everything was super clean, super accessible, and plenty of space for us to spread out. The property management was exceptionally helpful as well, helping us hire someone for a dinner one night as well as coordinate with a transfer service for rides into town and transfers. We are already looking at dates to potentially come back, as our only complaint is not staying long enough!!
