We spent 4 weeks in this place on an average total of 67€ per night.
The area is very beautiful and so is the view from the cabin down to the valley and the coast. The cabin is a nice, yet rather sparsely equipped place that comes with a gorgeous garden, which has a terrific barbecue grill as well.
We didn't meet Stella during our time in Capri Leone, but front up communication was great. Her friend Sara took care of the airbnb business along with her mother (german). She lives close and was always contactable. Unfortunatley she couldn't help with any questions or problems we had herself but always had to consult the actual owner of the property (and the airbnb- appartmens on it) and more or less just mediated our communication with them, which made things a little more complicated.
Unfortunatley there were a couple of problems during our stay:
- Around 40% of the time the air conditioning didn't work.
- Around 80% of the time hot water didn't work.
(Both problems were passed to the owner various times but couldn't actually be fixed)
If you like to book for long term stay, please not that the appartment doesn't have a washing mashine and there is also no self service laundry anywhere close. The other airbnb-appartment in the same house does have one, so if you like to wash you will either have to do it by hand or depend on the kindness of your neighbors.
On our arrival, the cabin was clean, but most basic necessities were missing (such as dish soap, sponges, hand soap, pepper, coffee, water, cutting board, bbq equipment, cooking knife...). Please note that tap water is not drinkable, so bring some water, especially when you arrive on sunday or after closing time. Please also note, that on the other hill there lives a neighbor who has a very very powerful stereo, capable of making you wanna to leave the place on several occasions. Bring good protection against mosquitoes, ants and wasps, or else they will drive you crazy! It's a wood cabin with several holes and some rotten corners without insect protection at the windows, so they will be all over. Also note, that on the hill there is very poor electricity with many fluctuations and some failures.
As a gesture, on depature we had to pay another 60€ for a weathered old cotton towel of a hammock, that teared when I sat on it the first time, had my butt hurt and wasn't even replaced during the following 4 weeks of our stay even though we kindly offered our help on getting it.
All in all, we can not recommend this place, especially if you depend on functioning basic equipment.
