Emerald's Resort - Filomena

Amazing View! Host was very kind on helping us park (they have a reserved spot) and get to the location with our suitcases.

Perfect place for couples, Huge compared to the other rooms we’ve been on in Italy. Great treatment from our host.

First of all Giovanni is a very polite and hospitable host. He gave us all the instructions and recommendations. The house is beautifully decorated, has everything you need, is impeccably clean and the balcony view is unmatched. I highly recommend it! :)

The view!!!!!

Beautiful apartment, spacious, bright and modern with the most stunning views over the Conca dei Marini bay from the enormous terrace balcony. Everything we could need for the kitchen and bathroom was provided along with spare towels. The aircon worked great. The host Giovanni was lovely and he picked us up from and dropped us back to the bus stop. It’s a hilly town but there is a supermarket, restaurants and scooter hire within short walking distance.

Only issue was that the shower water did not stay hot for very long so we had to have quite quick showers.

The apartment we stayed in (called Filomena) was superb for us. High square domed ceilings, beautiful classic furnishings & tiled flooring throughout the bedroom and kitchen/dining area. All in immaculate condition. The bed and bedroom is large, the property overall feels spacious, airy and has a big terrace with stunning mountain & sea view from high up. There's a table, stools, 2 loungers and sunbrella. It's the ideal space for breakfast in the morning (with your choice of Prosecco cocktail to go with, if you're into that), sunbathing or watching the stars at night. I was even tempted to do a yoga session up there and I'm not a yogi, must have been the Prosecco. The kitchen unit & bathroom were well maintained, up to date, with all you needed provided. It's self catering and as we were travelling from Sorrento, we did our food & drink shop in a supermarket before going. Can't comment on shopping once there. When we arrived at the property we were greeted by Giovani, a super cool dude with positive energy. He explained all the local usual's, sorted a parking permit for our car, was quick to respond to any questions we had and gave us tips on the drive back to Naples Airport. Also as there were no guests booked the day we checked out, we were aloud to stay until we left for the airport (4pm). First time ever, Top Top Top!!!

Travelling along the Amalfi coast is a beautiful experience. However, nearly all properties are either up or down from the main road and have about as many narrow twist & turns as a plate of spaghetti. The road to this property is no different, it's up from the main road and very steep too. We're a 30-40s couple at the gym 3+ times a week but doing this on foot with luggage, would not be fun. We had a car so no problem but if not, this hike would certainly kill your Grandma or give any parent a migraine from their kids complaining. Car is best here.

The view was absolutely beautiful. The villa was beautiful.

The view is pretty nice from the balcony. That's it.

There was a urine smell. Also, you have to climb 200 steps to get up to the restaurant. It is extremely annoying. Also, it is extremely hard to lock and unlock the door. Considering we stayed here as an emergency, I am not surprised. Do not stay here.

House is beatifull. View from balcony is breathtaking. Giovanni is very nice and helpfull.
