The cottage with large terrace was a really special time, a highlight of our many trips to Italy.
We had a beautiful and fun time. We especially liked to sit outside on the terrace in the dappled sunlight.
Every morning we went into Anacapri on the bus for coffee, then explored the town and surrounds. (The garden of Axel Munthe Villa is exceptional.) We then shopped for fresh produce to make a simple yummy vegan lunch and dinner. We prepared and ate meals at the outdoor table. We felt blessed.
The pool was awesome. We had the lovely property to ourselves as there were no guests in the other cottage.
Late afternoon we’d take a bus down to the Blue Grotto beach area to swim. It’s possible to swim into the Blue Grotto after the boats leave at 5pm.) Then back to the cottage for a sunset cocktail and pasta.
The cute cottage is quite small, so we had to run a tight ship. My suitcase went under the bed. The kitchen and bathroom are adequate. Exactly as expected.
We felt peaceful, relaxed and happy, living the simple life as per our plan, a different experience for us as we usually stay in hotels, and when in Capri we’ve always stayed down in Capri town (which is fabulous).
We met many friendly locals, many didn't speak much or any English which was fun. The town felt very real. We were surprised to find we loved Anacapri!
Luciana was super and kind. We could text her about anything, even a grocery list. She’d contact the Italian speaking store and they’d deliver!
We loved our stay! We’d like to come back for longer! Thank you!
