I wish I could give it 6 out of 5.

This was the final 3 days of our 2 week southern Italy vacation. We wanted a place to use as home base to visit the towns within an easy hour drive. The problem occurred when we arrived and didn’t want to leave the property. It is hard to describe but equivalent to Castello Banfi in terms of service and attention to detail. The place is immaculate and breathtaking. The service is second to none and the views are out of this world. I wish I could describe it better but you have to see to believe. This was part of a trip where we had 5 star hotels in Capri, Amalfi and Lecce. All were incredible but this may have been my favourite. Spend 5 day please. Say hello to Roberto the donkey and take a bike ride please. The staff although new were incredible and genuinely happy to help in any way.
