Martino's house is located around 60m above see level, what gives you an amazing view over the mediterranen. With clear weather you can even see aeolian islands. The surrounding of the house is quiet, with just a few neighbours pretty far off, what gives you really a lot of privacy. The terrace, the views and the surroundings are just wonderful.
We had a few rainy days, and it got dark pretty early around 5;30PM, so we spend quite some time inside to. It's super clean and there's a lot of space, but we didn't find it super 'cosy' (although there is a nice fire place). We also brought a lot of candles, since all the lightning is super white/blue. But if you don't mind that, it's a superb place. And if the weather is nice, you'll be on the terrace anyway and that's really the spot of the house.
You will definitely need a car. The nearby villages are not per se the nicest we've seen (although there's amazing coffee and canoli in Santo Stefano, in café Belvedere).
The rocky beach just downhill is really nice for a morning swim. But for lying down I would recommend to drive a little further.
