Guest Reviews

• Frank (9/5): -
• Kathrin (9/5): Hier ist ein Entwurf für deine Rezension, der alle Details charmant verpackt und die Vorzüge der Unterkunft bei San Nico - Tolle Lage, sehr freundliche Mitarbeiterin, Unterkunft geschmackvoll eingerichtet, gutes Frühstück Das Ein- und Ausparken war nicht einfach mit einem großen Auto, weil nicht viel Platz war zum rangieren und die Straße steil war. Man musste aufpassen nicht aufzusetzen.
• Cinzia (10/5): Bellissimo panorama - Panorama stupendo accoglienza buona di Andrea e Caterina stanza grande con affaccio sul mare che però si raggiunge con la macchina altrimenti scendere o meglio risalire e’ molto impegnativo la nostra stanza aveva un piccolo giardino dove riposarsi sulle sdraio bagno nuovo con una buona doccia colazione giusta per noi con frutta fresca cornetti fette biscottate e marmellata
• Marina Santomauro (9/5): -
• Vincenzo (8/5): -
• Klara (10/5): Fantasca ! - Villa stands on the hill watching directly to the sea . Amazing area , beautiful, clean villa .. my room had amazing balcony / terrace with a breathtaking view !! Breakfast served on beautiful big terrace with an amiable view as well !! The sunsets 🌅 are just stunning Restaurants few min to walk . Beach better to take car but possible walking too , really nice beach with super restaurants and beach clubs .. Katie was very helpful and kind , she made me feel welcome 🙏 thank you very much All was super , just next time I will ask in my room coffee machine, usually I wake up very early so I’m desperate for cup of espreso and for me to wait till breakfast is served without coffee is difficult:) I love sitting in balcony and sipping coffee ☕️ early morning
• vitantonio (10/5): - Struttura al top consigliata
• Karolina (8/5): Było super 🫶 - Piękny widok, willa jest przestronna i posiada niewielki ogród. Bardzo miła obsługa. Stromy podjazd, ale są to wzgórza więc trzeba się z tym liczyć. Brak dojścia na plażę.
• Roberta (9/5): -
• Helen (10/5): Charming! I would return due to amazing staff, value for price and panorama - We had a truly wonderful experience at Villa Crawford. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by its special character and charm on too of the cliff tops. The atmosphere felt welcoming. What I liked most was the combination of breathtaking views and peaceful surroundings. Whether I was relaxing on the terrace or enjoying a quiet moment indoors, the setting was absolutely serene. The staff were also incredibly warm and attentive, always making sure everything was just right without ever feeling intrusive. The breakfast is served on top floor balcony offering amazing view over the panorama. The place was exceptionaly clean! The location is superb if you are fit and want to take stairs to the most cutest beaches i’ve been to with one amazing restaurant after another! And the city centre is 10 minutes up the hill with some of the best italian food i have eaten in my life! Villa Crawford offered a perfect balance of comfort, beauty and hospitality with amperfect balance of value to money. It felt like a hidden gem—a place I’d love to return to. While our overall stay at Villa Crawford was memorable, there were a few aspects that could be improved. The Wi-Fi connection was quite unstable—at times, it disconnected for long periods, which made it challenging to stay connected. I’d recommend having a mobile hotspot ready just in case, especially if you need reliable internet. Another thing to note is the access to the property and the nearby town. We’re very fit and active, so we enjoyed the physical activity, but the stairs and steep paths might be difficult for anyone with mobility concerns. That said, the elevated location does reward you with stunning views and peaceful surroundings. The rooms, while cozy and charming, were a bit darker than I’d prefer. Adding some ambient lighting could really enhance the comfort and atmosphere.
• Carmine (9/5): -
• Maria Maddalena (8/5): - Vista panoramica bellissima. L’arrivo in struttura non è stato dei migliori. La discesa è molto ripida, se viaggiate con auto basse ve lo sconsiglio.
• Zhanna (10/5): - Tutto Nulla
• Angela (10/5): Amazing!!! 🤩 - Andrea the host was extremely nice and his hostess was very attentive and we felt spoiled having breakfast served to is on the beautiful terrace!!! This property was absolutely beautiful!! Although we had a bit of a hard time locating it with the map apps . Also it was a very steep road to the property so I suggest parking at the top . Alla prossima ❤️❤️❤️ Maybe a bigger sign …

• Johann (10/5): Einfach ein Traumquartier! - Die Villa Crawford hat eine einzigartige Lage, von der Zimmerterasse hat man einen fantastischen Ausblick über die gesamte Bucht. Das Frühstück ist sehr schmackhaft und das Personal überaus freundlich!
• Leonie (9/5): - Das Haus ist sehr stilvoll und einladend, der Ausblick atemberaubend. Die Zufahrt zum Haus ist, für die Küstenlage zu erwarten, sehr steil. Es gibt Stellplätze vor dem Haus und etwas weiter oberhalb. Der Zugang zum Meer ist über eine Treppe weiter unterhalb der Zufahrt möglich. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt hier sehr genossen und wollen auf jeden Fall wieder kommen!
• Stefania (9/5): - grazie alla cara e premurosa Caterina che ci ha accolto e preparato ogni mattina la buona colazione (cornetti ottimi). Vista spettacolare fino al Cilento !
• Vairo (10/5): -
• Fernando (7/5): Luogo da favola! - La vista è una cosa meravigliosa! Troppe passi per arrivarci in mare... ma ne vale la pena
• leo (10/5): Panorama da sogno con accoglienza impeccabile. - Soggiorno davvero indimenticabile! La villa è splendida, affacciata direttamente sul mare, con una vista mozzafiato che lascia senza parole. La villa é ottima per rilassarsi e godersi la tranquillità del luogo. È una villa di lusso, e il prezzo rispecchia pienamente il livello della struttura e dei servizi offerti. Vale assolutamente il prezzo del biglietto per chi cerca una vacanza esclusiva, in un luogo da sogno. Un ringraziamento speciale ad Andrea che si è dimostrato estremamente gentile e disponibile fin dal primo contatto. La sua accoglienza ha reso tutto ancora più piacevole..davvero una brava persona. Consiglio vivamente questa villa a chi cerca un posto bello, esclusivo, panoramico e gestito con cura. Nulla.
• Palmerino (8/5): - Spettacolare il posto in cui si trova anche se non è molto agevole il parcheggio con l' auto. La vista di cui si gode sull'isola di Dino è unica. Camera pulita e spaziosa. Alcuni dettagli degli interni sono un po' datati e se ammodernati darebbero un ulteriore valore aggiunto al soggiorno. La colazione servita sul terrazzo con prodotti confezionati potrebbe essere sicuramente migliorata.
• Maria Chiara (8/5): - La posizione ottima .Vista stupenda. La colazione povera di prodotti fatti in casa e molto poco varia
• Roberta (9/5): Meraviglioso - La vista e la struttura Niente
• alessandro (9/5): Da rifare e da consigliare agli amici. - Posizione incantevole. Colazione sul terrazzo con una gentilissima ragazza che ha fatto di tutto per accontentarci. Quella che sembrava essere uan difficoltà, quasi 300 gradini perr andare in spiaggia, si è rivelata invece una otima occasione per fare movimento. (L'alternativa è una navetta pubblica se non si vuole prendere la macchica, che sconsiglierei perla mancanza di parcheggio se non programmato per tempo). La brevita' del mio soggiorno
• Mirko (8/5): -
• Dora (9/5): -
• Nina (6/5): Weekend rilassante - Struttura con vista mozzafiato, personale cordiale ed attento, stanza non tanto pulita, colazione ottima e molto abbondante! La colazione e la vista!
• Edita (10/5): -
• Marharyta (10/5): Все было супер - Невероятный вид из окна, чистые номера, приятные люди работают. Если уж совсем придираться к мелочам, то обивку кровати лучше обновить, она шелушиться. Возможно можно сделать более разнообразный завтрак.
• gallo (10/5): Struttura splendida, con una vista incredibile. La terrazza é un belvedere, la colazione é fresca, i proprietari e staff - Struttura splendida, con una vista incredibile. La terrazza é un belvedere con accesso alla spiaggia tramite un bel sentiero. Tutto perfetto
• Giovanni (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tyler (7/5): Good - Rare view in a beautiful town. AC works well. Staff is very friendly. Damp smell.
• Rita (9/5): Incredible views. - The property was modern with spectacular views. The beds were the most comfortable beds we had this whole trip. Getting to the beach would be difficult for anyone with mobility issues. There is a steep road and 256 steps to get there. The path is not used too often and there was debris all over it. You will need to drive to a beach with car access.
• Midgard (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment is perfectly situated, offering breathtaking views of both the sea and mountains. Waking up to such a picturesque landscape was truly a highlight of my trip. The balcony was a particular favorite spot, providing the perfect setting for morning coffee or evening drinks while enjoying the view. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive. They provided detailed information about the apartment and local area, which made my stay even more enjoyable. Any questions I had were promptly addressed, enhancing my overall experience. I highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a serene and scenic getaway. The combination of comfort, location, and hospitality made it a memorable stay. I would definitely return!
• Savino (10/5): We lived the slow Italian life for 8 days. Going to the beach and relaxing. The Hosts were great and we want to come bac - Location and Excellent breakfast. It was clean and up to date. If there’s an issue with anything the house keepers are right next door. The only house on the beach with a private entrance to the beach. Everyone else has to drive down. The beach is the nicest beach on the whole coast line too. Nothing. I won’t recommend elderly people to stay here because of the steps.
• Neil (10/5): This is a lovely b and b with stunning views. 340 steps to the top of the hill - Spectacular views. Outstanding staff 340 steps in a n extremely steep slope
• Mark (7/5): World class views, small room - The views, the walk down to the beach. Breakfast on the balcony Access with the car, very tight and steep. Rules over drinks and access to the kitchen at night
• Papp (10/5): Exceptional -
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
• Adam (10/5): Enjoyable few nights with a spectacular view - The views were beyond spectacular, the breakfast was very well presented and tasty, the staff were all very hospitable, and the villa was a close walk down to the beach. The room was a bit dark and there wasn’t much lighting in the main room. The power went off around 5 times however this was only for short periods.
• Claudia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Bjarni (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lisa (9/5): Superb -
• Paul (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ruben (10/5): Lovely villa will definitely come back! - Great views and great breakfast! Beautiful area! Nice clean room. Nothing
• Ramon (9/5): Superb -
• Enzo (5/5): Quite place,good views, didn’t feel comfortable in the villa due to the rude host. - The views were amazing from the property and bed was very comfortable You have to take expensive taxi to get property from the station, access to the property on a very steep road. First night we we’re enjoying the sunset with a wine on the common balcony and in the morning at breakfast the host told us off in front of other guests that you cannot have any drinks or food on the balcony or your room, this place make up there own rules and was never disclosed within booking, very disappointing.
• Anna (10/5): Exceptional -
• Frank (7/5): great view, great breakfast, but room not up to par nor was the parking - location and view downstairs room was small. the exterior door lock was impossible to open. pathway to parking is dangerous at night because a few of the lights are burned out.
• Raymond (10/5): magical! - we loved the location the terrace the bathroom was amazing the staff over the top!! everything was awesome
• Sergey (10/5): Dream villa on Tirenian seaside - Excel ant location, service and accommodation!!
• Mehdi (10/5): Fantastisk utsikt og service. - Varm og god velkomst med fantastisk personell. En av de beste utsiktene fra rommet. Simpel frokost og utrolig lang siesta over hele byen, men verdt å dra til.
• Sharon (8/5): Million Dollar Views - Pro's Fantastic views Friendly staff Open grounds Access to beach Con's Steep hill/lots of steps - not suitable for people with mobility issues Rooms a little basic (but view makes up for it)
• DARIO (10/5): - Tutto perfetto.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Very good B&B with very difficult access. - This boutique B&B is perched on a hillside with a great view to the sea and adjacent shore, both from the rooms and large terrace. The location means that reaching it requires going down an exceptionally steep roadway. There is tight parking just above the B&B or in several more spaces toward the bottom of the hill. Either location then takes stairs down or up to the B&B, and possibly more stairs to reach a room, so light luggage is a must. Room itself is fine, and the service good. Simple Italian breakfast. Getting out of the parking space and back up the hill is challenge.
