Adelfio, first and foremost, was a great host with an infectious attitude to life. He delivered fresh pastries every morning and went out of his way to make sure we were looked after and having a good time. Took us to the village where the Godfather was filmed and it was a real bonus to have him with us acting as a sort of personal guide and translator!
The villa was just perfect. Main bonus was the easy and short walk into town where the bars and restaurants were numerous and excellent. Pool was a perfect place to hang out and take a dip when the heat of the day kicked in.
A short walk and a cable car ride (€6 return ticket) took you to the area called Isola Bella. A beautiful spot where you could hire kayak's, snorkel in crystal clear warm waters, and have a bite to eat at one of the many restaurants.
I would highly recommend Adelfio's villa. It was everything, and more, that we had hoped for.
