The walk to and from the bus stop could be challenging when we were very tired - no fault of the villas location, but to be aware that you need to climb steps for 15 mins to get between the square and villa. Because we weren't too pushed on doing lots of sightseeing, we were happy to spend more time relaxing in the villa and exploring the immediate area - however if you plan to sightsee, taking the local buses to make connecting ferries/buses could be challenging (we missed a kayak tour because our bus was late, though we were at the bus stop 30mins early - buses run once an hour), or are concerned about expensive taxi prices, or if you are not renting a car/scooter, this may not be the best base for you! We loved it, but it may not be for everyone!

The apartment was much bigger than I expected, which was a nice surprise! It was so peaceful and relaxing, with an incredible view. I'm sure many people visiting the Amalfi coast don't get a view quiet like it. We were looking for a place that was away from the crowds, and we got just that! For a small town, there are some absolutely fantastic restaurants nearby - try them all! The pistachio gelato from Caffeteria Mansi is delicious. The villa was very comfortable during one very stormy and rainy day. We were able to make food in the kitchen and chill out watching Netflix for the day! We are avid walkers, so this was a great base for us. We ended up getting buses to Ravello and Amalfi, and walking back to avoid the madness at the bus stops, haha! The pool was always a welcome treat when we got back after this. Giovanna was very helpful with any questions we had. I would recommend organizing the airport transfer as this will save any hassle (and money!) getting too and from the airport. There were 2 very sweet cats at the villa who greeted us every day too - as a cat lover this was a bonus! We also very much appreciated the small gift when we were leaving. :)

Microwave could be useful otherwise Nothing to do with the property but: Lot of mosquitoes in august in the region ! Need a car to go around as it is quite isolated ( parking spot provided)

Most amazing view of the region (even better than in Ravello) Very quiet area, far from agitated coast and tourist while still being relatively close (but need car otherwise it is complicated) Small swimming pool with a 5 stars hotel view Very nice apartment (Anna), clean, confortable and well furnished Baby-foot and table tennis to entertain Very nice host, offered us coffee, lemoncello, drove us to Ravello for visiting and even offered a birthday gift ! They know local shops so they can even deliver food to the property

The property has no negatives! It was superb to be able to park on site. For the area, one should know that parking in the different towns is limited, but it is manageable if you plan your visits well.

Arriving at Villa Laura was like entering a dream. After an hour drive from Napoli through the winding mountainroads to the cute historic town of Scala, we parked the car in the shaded area of the Villa, with magnificent view on Ravello and the Almalfi coast. We were kindly welcomed “home” to our wonderful and spacious apartment Anna by Giovanna. Seeing the view from our terrace and windows was simply jaw-dropping, every single day! The apt had everything we needed, the bedroom was comfortable and cool, the kitchen was well-equipped and we loved drinking our moka-made coffee and enjoying breakfast on the terrace. The swimming pool area with relaxing lounge chairs was marvelous. Visting the nearby towns and sights Ravello, Amalfi, Positano, Pompeii, and enjoying the delicious meals altogether made for a wonderful mother-daughter vacation and memories. But MOST of all we loved and will remember the incredible hospitality of Aurelio, the most gracious and kind owner/host one could imagine! We felt like family in his Villa Laura, and recommend his unique place to everyone who loves to experience the best of the Italian life and people. Grazie mille per tutti!

No room service during our stay but overall everything was good!

The host was very nice and helpful with any questions or restaurant recommendations we had during our stay. In the end, they even gave us a small souvenir which was very sweet.

Other travellers should note that the villa is high on the hillside, hence the views, but this necessitates a walk of approx 10 minutes steeply down hill to the centre of Scala and more slowly back up if no car….there is a bus stop near the villa but buses are less frequent than in the town centre. This wasn’t a concern for us as we treated it as a way to keep fit, but it may be an issue for some.

Stunning views from this large apartment with two balcony areas and access to beautiful pool area which also has great views. The villa is gated and a parking space is provided. Well appointed kitchen and plenty of storage generally. Comfortable sprung sofa bed in the lounge. It is possible to have basic groceries delivered from local shop. Regular local bus service. Games room with table tennis, table football and darts. Very helpful host arranged taxi transfers…all arrangements went perfectly. Wi-Fi.

How can I evaluate humanity ? Endless thanks to Anna, Federica and Villa Laura. Amazing view, cleanliness, hospitality and most of all humanity. I think we came as guests, but left as friends. I hope to come back one day!
