Overall:
We enjoyed our stay with our 2 and 1/2 year old and 5 month old and the property had everything we needed to make our stay easy.
Enjoyed Most:
The terrace and its view.
Unpleasant Surprises:
The twin beds were very hard.
Surrounding Area:
The view of the Isle of Capri.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Termini is the nearest town and the apartment is in the middle of it. 18 stroller friendly steps to the street and parking was right out front on the street.
Tips or Restaurants:
Bring beach towels for the beach or the pool.
Da Cardillo in Sant Agata was good for dining in and also did pizzas to go for only 4.50 Euro.
Definitely need a rental car.
Directions:
Directions were very good.
Check In Out:
Valerio checked up on us twice during the week.

Overall:
This is a great spot for a family, as it is very quiet. It has good access to walks, the beach and many scenic views. You can't beat the view from the roof terrace, as a matter of fact. Valerio was very helpful and must live very close, as he appeared instantly whenever we called.
Enjoyed Most:
The attention to detail in the house was a wonder. Valerio and his father have done a beautiful and amazing job in creating a lovely place to stay.
Unpleasant Surprises:
It was very remote and a car is essential. Forget about the bus. It is infrequent, and the Tabbachi is often closed, so there is no place to buy a ticket. We were left standing there in the square by the bus driver who basically said, "no ticket, no ride", even though we explained the situation and offered to pay on the bus or in Sorrento. It was just not possible to use the bus as a viable means of transportation. Having said that, the car rental should be done prior to arrival, as you can get a zero deductible for theft and collision from abroad. We were stuck with a somewhat scary 1000-Euro deductible for theft or damage. The driving itself was not bad, and the best thing to do is park near the spa at the outskirts of Sorrento 7 Euro all day, then walk to the train. Traffic in Sorrento and on to Naples is very congested and takes hours, so it is better to avoid that part.
Surrounding Area:
The hike to Punta Campanella and the beach at Marina Cantone were very fun.
The local people were very friendly and we had a wonderful and entertaining time with them at dinner each night. This was a great experience!
Nearby Events or Locales:
This property is right in Termini and it is a 2-minute walk to the restaurant and grocery store. However, Termini is very small and does not have a square with cafes and so on like I had expected.
Tips or Restaurants:
Eugeneos was authentic, very reasonably priced and friendly. They do not have menus, they just tell you what is for dinner, kick the kids doing homework out of the tables and give you a great dinner. It was very fun.

Enjoyed Most:
Location and view.
Unpleasant Surprises:
There is really no comfortable place to sit and read on days when the weather precludes sitting on the deck. Neighborhood is overrun with dogs that bark all night.
Surrounding Area:
Ability to drive to all surrounding towns without trouble.
Tips or Restaurants:
Eugenes in Termini was terrific. Ate there 3 times. Amalfi and Capri were tourists traps and disappointing, especially Amalfi. If going to Amalfi, suggest you take bus out and the boat back from Sorrento. Driving is not bad. Positano was terrific.
