What a treat it was to stay at Il Monaco! The rooms are beautiful, clean, well-appointed, and each one has an incredible view. The kitchen had everything we needed. The outdoor spaces are delightful--we rarely sat inside but instead used the outdoor table and lounge chairs. The swimming platform is incredible! We saw very few of them along the coastline and it was such a treat to have access to the sea whenever we wanted. It's about 180 steps down but the steps meander through beautiful trellises and greenery, it is quite lovely. Being able to walk into Minori (about 10 minutes) for groceries, shopping, and meals was great, and we also walked along the sea to Maiori, a larger town, and then walked back to Minori along the Path of the Lemons--a must-do! Mario was terrific, very responsive to our few questions and happy to provide local recommendations. I can't say enough about our stay, it was wonderful!
