We had a great stay at this villa in Imerovigli.
The view is absolutely unbeatable. The villa is located on top of the ridge, so you get a perfect view of both the famous sunset and also the sunrise.
We were a little wary after reading other reviews about a lack of privacy, but we didn’t find it problematic at all (we came late-September so crowds were a little lighter) Between the terrace and the view of the Caldera there is a busy public path, but it is slightly below the terrace so people need to crane their necks to see into your space. Most people are far more interested in the view.
The terrace is huge and has plenty of seating and some sun-lounges. Your kitchen/living area doesn’t open directly onto the terrace (which is on the roof) so you need to walk up a path on the side of the villa but it only takes 30 secs.
The jacuzzi was great - although the temperature was a quite chilly later in the day (in late Sept) Unfortunately you can’t adjust the temperature. A few degrees would make all the difference.
The villa itself is less like a hotel and more like someone’s holiday home. It’s not modern but it’s very charming.
There’s a cleaner who comes daily and changes towels etc which is great.
The kitchen is small but quite well equipped including various coffee-makers. You can also order breakfast to the villa using a special service which we thought was nice.
There’s a couple of supermarkets/bakeries within 5 mins walk and there is loads of parking on-site if you have a rental car. There’s no laundry but we didn’t need one.
The villa manager, Jackie, was incredibly helpful and friendly and was able to answer all our questions and help with transfers. The complimentary bottle of wine was a lovely touch!
We would absolutely recommend this place.
