This one-of-a-kind villa, nestled in the hills overlooking the Bay of Sorrento, provided everything me and my family were looking for. Eight of us total, we found the accommodations perfect for our needs. The bathrooms were comparatively spacious, given the typical Italian ones, and all bedrooms were comfortably air-conditioned...a much-welcomed relief given the hot August weather. There is ample room for dining both indoors and outdoors, and the outdoor dining area was our chosen place to meet, especially for early morning coffee. The kitchen was well-equipped, and we did prepare a few meals, but the true highlight of our stay at Villa Jacono was having two of our meals prepared by Teresa, Ettore's wife. She uses the freshest of vegetables and seafood to prepare some of the finest meals we had during our two-week stay in Italy. Both Teresa and Ettore live on the grounds and are very unobtrusive, but they are always ready to help if there is a problem or a request you may have. We enjoyed them so much that we invited them to sit with us for after dinner drinks and discussion on more than one occasion! Ettore also arranged a private boat trip around Capri for us as well as a driver (Chicco!) who is worth the price of admission--both at very reasonable prices. And did I mention the pool? It's where we spent most of our time when at the Villa, and it is a definite plus. The villa is located about twenty minutes from Sorrento by car which is limiting if you don't have a vehicle, but there is a local grocery store that is within a 5-minute walk where you can get drinks, delicious paninis, wine, paper goods, and produce. A little farther from the villa is a restaurant Zio Sam's which has wonderful pizza, pastas, etc. All in all, I don't believe you will be disappointed in this property. We give it 5 stars!
