WOW! Awesome hosts and wonderful property. Attention to every detail was evident and made our stay so special! From the car service to welcome fruit basket to the fully stocked kitchen just to name a few! The views of the sunrise are magnificent from the heavenly patio. Oliver and Lella are fantastic in every way. We loved their villa and all their recommendations and the special way they made us feel. We hope to visit again!

Lella and Oliver were wonderful hosts. Check in and check out was easy, Lella even met us and our driver to ensure we found the villa easily and were able to get in quickly, with a delicious pitcher of Limonata waiting for us. The villa was completely stocked and beautiful and they provided options for us to explore around the coast with a helpful binder of information and historic details. . Pictures cannot describe the vast, amazing views of the mountains and beautiful sea. The bus stop was a quick ~100 foot walk from the villa. The pool, the accommodations were excellent and we enjoyed every minute of their heavenly villa!

Amalfi oasis between Atrani and Minori
We spent 4 nights at the beautiful House Oliver and loved every minute of it! Italy and the Amalfi Coast were definitely highlights of our family's 2-week vacation which took us from Barcelona and then Seville, Spain to Naples, Rome, Ischia, and finally Amalfi. Our family of 4 (20yr old & 17 yr old) really enjoyed the home, fully functional kitchen, 2 bathrooms, sundeck, and the private pool overlooking the sea with coastal views of the nearby villages of Minori and Maiori as well as the mountains behind them. As other reviews have indicated, we were OK walking to various villages (Atrani, Amalfi, Minori) during the day, but would always secure a ride back to the villa if it was after dark. The hosts were great about communication both in advance of the trip and during our stay. They were always accessible if we had questions or needed. Also, the value of the pre-stocked food & drink proved incredibly valuable and convenient during our stay. Highly recommend this location for anyone considering a private villa in the greater Amalfi / Ravello area.

Wonderful visit!
We stayed for 5 nights at this lovely villa. The views are absolutely stunning. There are many outdoor areas to sit surrounded by well maintained plants and flowers. The villa is well appointed and has everything you'll need. The wonderful hosts also provide you with eggs, coffee, fruit, breads, tomatoes and snacks. One of the best parts of a stay at this villa is how wonderful the hosts Oliver and Lella are. They are delightful people who assisted us with drivers, reservations for restaurants and day trips making our stay so pleasant and easy. We would definitely stay again!

A dream from Beginning to End
We are not sure that there are enough words to describe our stay at Oliver’s House. From the moment we arrived and were greeted by both Oliver and Leila, to be welcomed into the beauty villa we knew we were truly blessed. The villa and its terraces was even more beautiful than the pictures showed, the views of the sea right outside your door, absolutely magnificent. Oliver and Leila were more than just our incredible hosts. They made an amazing trip even more incredible!!!! On our first day we booked a cruise along the Amalfi Coast on Oliver’s boat which was truly special and a highlight of our trip. Oscar and Leila are a wealth of knowledge and suggested and arranged so many incredible outings and activities for us, all of which were amazing! Being there and getting to know them was truly a gift. The only thing we found difficult was having to leave this beautiful villa and our dear new friends!!!!! We will definitely be back soon and wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else!!!!!! 🙏❤️

Oliver and Lela were FANTASTIC. They keep a beautiful property and have several add-ones to offer that are very nice. We took advantage of having a nice selection of wine in the Villa to choose from at very reasonable prices. We also went on a Lovely private boat tour of the entire Amalfi Coast complete with beverages, snacks, and lunch. Oliver had lots of knowledge and fun facts about the coastline and famous people who stay there. The ONLY thing that we didn’t love was the Villa’s location from Minori which is a cute town with great restaurants and where you can grab a Ferry to Positano or Amalfi. It’s less than a mile and only takes 15 minutes to walk but the road is very narrow and not much room for pedestrians to walk. If we were retuning back to the Villa after dark we usually opted for a cab instead of walking.

Lovely Amalfi Coast Experience
First, the hosts were fantastic. The hillside villa was well stocked with everything you would need for the first couple days, including breakfast makings. The views are breathtaking from every room and deck of the 4 level home. The small pool was an added bonus. Oliver and Lella assist in everything you need to visit the entire Amalfi Coast.

Speaking for all of the four friends that stayed at this property, I can only say that it was a dream vacation. From the time we arrived until the time we left, Oliver and Lella were always available to meet our every need, from booking restaurants to taxis to a ride of a lifetime on Oliver's boat cruising along the Mediterranean coast. We would wholeheartedly recommend booking this property and hope to return there in our lifetimes.

Fantastico!
When we arrived to House Oliver we were in awe of the beautiful view and received the kindest greeting from Lella and Oliver. While enjoying a glass of lemonade, they walked us through everything we needed to know about the house, nearby restaurants, options for activities and so much more. They offered assistance if we had any questions during our stay and they went above and beyond on this. When we were at the house we spent a majority of our time on the terrace, but the inside of the house was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed during our stay. We enjoyed a nice breakfast each morning outside with the food and coffee provided (after a few tries, we even figured out how to brew moka). The boat ride with Oliver is a must! We had so much fun and it is worth every penny. He took us along the coast showing us many of the cities and told us a little about each one. It was a hot day and we made a few stops along the way to swim and cool off. Oliver’s first mate Pietro was so nice and helpful on our journey as well. The aperitivo, pasta pie made by Lella and beverages were delicious - all a great taste of Italy. Lella and Oliver were the kindest and most generous hosts. Of all the places we have stayed over the years, we have never experienced such wonderful hospitality and we are very excited to return!

Heaven on Earth
We spent 4 nights in Rome before arriving to our week in paradise where we stayed at House Oliver on one of the most picturesque locations you can find. We are a family of 4 with two teenage daughters, and I will admit, we were intimidated at first by the busy road, but ended up walking to the beach one day and it wasn't a bad walk at all.(Lido di Ravello) We are the type of family that is on the go every day and we were eager to experience all the the Amalfi coast has to offer. As I look back, staying at there provided access to so many opportunities that we never would have had in the hustle and bustle of places like Positano (which we LOVED for an overnight) The house was clean, and comfortable, and met our expectations for our 5 night stay. I read reviews about spending time with the hosts, we were on the go, and chatted with Lella via Whatsapp for some assistance but we really didn't see them until they stopped to say goodbye. We were up and out early for a new adventure each day, came back to the house for a few hours to relax with a glass of wine and a snack on the beautiful terrace, then out again for a late dinner. Don't miss Ravello, eat at Villa Maria most amazing lunch EVER, have dinner at Terra Normanna in Maiori, it's like walking into a dream (exceptional food, service, and location), do at least 2-3 days on a private boat if you have the means; it's AMAZING! Don't miss Capri! Transportation is expensive be prepared, try to negotiate rates ahead if you can.

Beautiful views, great location, and very helpful hosts that help arrange tours, transportation and dinners. The pool was great and the home itself is very historic. They provide lots of food in the fridge and kitchen. Our favorite was the boat ride booked through Oliver and Lellah. We recommend a noise machine for any kids you’re traveling with as the property is close to the road and you’ll hear lots of bus honks. Also, bug spray is a must as there are lots of mosquitoes when you’re hanging out on the lovely terrace.

Beautiful property with beautiful views.
The Pros: This is a beautiful, obviously loved & cared for property. The second tier views of the sea are incredible. The outdoor spaces are spectacular. Oliver & Lella were among the warmest people we encountered in Italy. Lella took special care to make this the best stocked, best equipped kitchen of our 4 short-term rentals in Italy. The 66 or so stairs to the home are easy compared to other venues you're likely to encounter in Italy. The Cons: The home is outside of town. Perfect if you plan to stay in, and enjoy the views and the pool. However, to get to Amalfi you'll have to either walk, take the bus, or have your own transportation. The walk is 1.2 miles each way along a scary road, not very suitable for pedestrians. The bus is hit or miss in terms of whether it will pick up and drop off when and where you need it to, and was generally overloaded. The home would be ideally located if you rented a scooter for the duration of your stay. There really is nowhere to park a car, either at the property or anywhere in the region. The kitchen is located inside one of the two bedrooms, which would be fine if you are a family with children, but is a little inconvenient if you are two couples. Each of the showers have a dedicated water tank, which appears to be about 10 gallons. This is no problem unless guests need to take back to back showers, in which case someone is getting cold water. I'd suggest adding tankless water heaters. Overall: Loved it!

A Special Time!
We do not believe that you will find better hosts than Oliver and Lella. From our initial contact to our final goodbye Lella and Oliver were very attentive, kind, helpful and eager to help us have the best stay we could have. Lella met us at the base of their place when we arrived. We walked up steps to reveal a charming 2 bedroom home. My Mom, husband and I comfortably lived in the space for 2 weeks. We marveled at the views every single morning, cooked, read and took many day trips to the surrounding towns. While we toured most of the coast, Minori, Maiori and Ravello became three of our favorite towns to stroll and dine in. My husband and I love to workout and there is a whole internal system of steps that will lead you off the main road, which can be harrowing, and into the quiet hills of the coast. These steps lead you up into Ravello, over to Minori, Maiori, Amalfi…. We welcomed the work of the steps especially because the food of the coast is so good, and we definitely enjoyed it all. The three of us so enjoyed the day boat trip that Oliver and Lella arranged for us. You will not fully know the coast until you see it from this angle. We absolutely recommend that you do the day trip on their boat. Oliver and Lella are very special people. We feel like we had the opportunity to really get to know them during our stay. Thank you, Lella and Oliver for being so good to us. We are grateful, Lisa, Scott and Nadine!

Private Paradise on the Amalfi Coast
Oliver and Lella are wonderful hosts. Their house is absolutely beautiful. It is tastefully decorated with lots of bonus features like multiple terraces, book nooks with lots of art and travel books, a small hidden kitchen stocked with food, a fridge stocked with wine and beer and eggs and fruit, and other bonuses I will leave you to discover. The house is located between Minori and Atranj, two gorgeous quaint sea side villages. Ferry access from Minori makes traveling to Positano or Capri a snap. Wonderful restaurants are everywhere and the hosts will help you locate them and reserve tables. Oliver took us on a sea cruise I highly recommend. You get to swim in beautiful quiet locales along the Amalfi coast and he provides a wonderful lunch it’s all very premium. Well worth it. We loved every minute we spent in this paradise location. Again Oliver and Lella went above and beyond by welcoming us with lemonade and telling us about what was nearby. Oliver brought us coffee the night we had to leave to go to the airport at 1 in the morning. We loved our stay and will come back again! To Oliver and Lella cheers!! Salute!! Grazie Mille!!

Best way to spend 5 rainy days on the Amalfi coast
The house truly is remarkable. The view is spectacular. The hosts are kind and fun. The house is just what we were looking for as a couple looking to get away for 5 days. It is cleverly designed with lots of Italian charm. We cook several meals in the small but efficient kitchen. I am not sure what you would want the house doesn't have. Even though it rained quite a bit , each day there were periods of sunshine, but staying in the house with the rain was actually very pleasant. As has been said, planning for transportation is important although we Walked a number of places. We preferred Minori to Amalfi because it is much less crowded. The walk down from Revello is not for the faint of heart. Thousands of steps . We truly never saw a rental property or hotel we would have preferred we red to stay in. Thank you Oliver and Lilla for letting us stay in your home.

What a wonderful gem Hotel Oliver is! We wish we had stayed longer. The rooms and bathrooms are prettier than the photos you see, and Lella and Oliver were the most gracious hosts… helpful and kind when we asked questions, but also courteous of our privacy and space. Oh, the views from here! There were three different seating areas (plus a jacuzzi!) outside for coffee or wine (or both at the same time!) to see the incredible coastline! And all was very clean with any amenity you want and need. If you are the slightest bit interested in boating with Oliver, do it!! What a fun and amazing adventure! He is from the area and knows the more beautiful quiet spots! We hope to return to the Amalfi Coast soon, and we will definitely want to stay here again. Thank you Lella and Oliver!

Garden with a view.
I choose Oliver House because of the beautiful garden and the view. Both exceeded my expectations. We used the owner's recommendation for transportation from airport and then on to Sorrento and were very pleased. Good price and clean and comfortable ride. Communication with owners was prompt and informative both before and during trip. The owner, we called him Captain Ollie, also has a boat. Do not miss the opportunity to cruse with him on the Amalfi Coast. Worth every cent. It was amazing. The house is between Amalfi and Minori and we enjoyed both towns. We would typically walk to a destination and take a taxi back but we also got some phone numbers and had the drivers pick us up on occasion. My favorite spot was the outdoor sitting room that looks like a little reading room. Great place to sip wine (from the owner's selection) and read your book. I took photos of the multi layer gardens which were stunning. I dreamed of trying to replicate some of it here at my home in Texas. Probably not possible but it was so beautiful. We would definitely go back.

A very authentic villa with friendly owners and superb views. Lella and Olivier do everything possible to make your stay enjoyable. Best points the stunning views, delightful terrace areas, super comfy beds and powerful showers. Things that would make the villa even better would be a refurb of the pool which we were told is planned and somewhere to park a car as the villa is fairly remote. Owners couldn't have been more helpful unlike the local taxi drivers, very unreliable and avericious !

Good property - we enjoyed our stay
I’ll start by saying the villa is awesome: the views and the interior can’t be justified by photos. The outside garden, the pool and the subtle decorations around the house were beautiful. The owners recommended great restaurants, provided dry cleaning service and gave a bunch of souvenirs and fresh produce. We were welcomed with freshly squeezed lemonade and a very very lengthy property introduction. Some details that didn’t affect the rating but are good to know: 20 min walk from Amalfi. 1 hour taxi from Positano. Kitchen is in one of the bedrooms. Water system is noisy (like 10 minutes of circulating water after flushing) Some details that did affect the rating and are good to know: The villa is a duplex and the owners live above you. I had no problem with the water system until we were woken up by it at 6:30AM when the garden was being watered. When Oliver waters the garden, he also waters it in the part where you stay. Everyday. For extended periods. Didn’t feel like we had the freedoms of a villa. The private car service recommended by the villa was on point and competitively priced. Except when it was booked by the owners (we had to give cash to the owners, not the driver). Driver says 80€ but Oliver says 120€??? Me and my fiancé enjoyed our stay! 4/5

Eat - Pray - Veg Out -
Let me preface this review with the fact that I have never been to the Amalfi region before. It was an amazing time both in the region and the house. The owners were easy to communicate with as long you remember that they are on a time difference ( in my case, 6 hours ahead) with detailed emails and answers, minus the small issue when they didn't understand my questions that were lost in translation. I was never let down at any point. For an additional fee, they can have a driver pick you up from Naples airport and take you to the house. I do recommend this as there are combinations of ways you can get to the house, but this is the simplest. It's by far not the cheapest, but I'm about 'easy'. In my case, I arrived in Naples around 9 am and the house was not ready so the driver took me to Pompeii to walk around for a couple of hours (this was all planned ahead of time) and then over to the house which was still being cleaned. I was able to hang out outside and enjoy the wonderful views and what felt like 8 different terraces and patios. Once I went over the rules and with Oliver, I was on my own. let me rewind real quick - Once you arrive you will be greeted with steps to the house that seem pretty daunting. You will have to haul everything up all these steps and back down. I'm young and in shape and it wasn't fun. Keep in mind that's Amalfi! Steps and walking are the names of the game here. The jacuzzi is a pool. It's not hot, but it does have jets and it's bigger than it looks. I can easily see ten people sitting in there relaxing together. enjoying the views. The outside has enough space and nooks and crannies to host 20 people easily outside. From an outdoor library section to patio tables, loungers, porch swing, lemon trees and tons of flowering plants abound. The house is near a road which makes it easy to catch a car or bus (the bus stop is super close), but it can be loud when busses come by and honk. It's nothing terrible, but it happens. They keep beer and wine stocked up (charges per bottle, but it's cheap) and breakfast foods, fruits, pasta etc. The main rental is best suited for two couples. There are two bedrooms with their own full bathrooms (showers) with their own entrances and own keys. This is super helpful if you are doing your own thing or want to go in and out without passing through each other's spaces. Each bedroom is also super private with thick doors and a small living room separating them.

Perfetto
I had a lengthy review written but opted for brevity. House Oliver and hosts Oliviero and Lella were, in a word, perfect. We enjoyed a beautiful part of Italy in a wonderful, efficient home that worked very well four our family of four (adults and teenagers). Deciding which level of the fantastic porch on which to enjoy the views was the most challenging decision of each day. The pictures included are beautiful, but don’t do it justice. Hosts: Perfect. House: Perfect. Mini-cruise: Perfect. Impromptu mini-concert with hosts on our last night: Perfect (but sad, as we did not want to leave). Home-made lemonade by Oliviero: Perfect. If you are fortunate enough to be traveling to the Amalfi area, look no further. Stay at House Oliver. We look forward to returning.

Perfecto!
Where do we begin. We absolutely loved our stay at House Oliver! Everything was perfect!! The house is so beautiful and charming and has everything you need. The location is fantastic. A short and easy walk to great restaurants, shopping and beaches in Amalfi and Minori or a quick ferry ride to Positano and other towns on the Amalfi Coast. The views from the house are so incredible and breathtaking and there are a number of beautiful terraces to soak it all in. We couldn’t get enough. The pictures we took are like postcards! On top of everything, what makes House Oliver so special are the hosts themselves! Lella and Oliver are amazing! From the minute you book your reservation the communication is prompt and so helpful. They met us the house when we arrived, we enjoyed fresh lemonade from their lemon trees and we’re given a tour and tutorial on everything we needed to know about the house and the Amalfi Coast. They had provided fresh fruit, snacks and food for our stay which was above and beyond. We booked a day on Oliver’s boat which was the highlight of our trip! We were able to see the coast, go through a cave and swim in the beautiful Mediterranean Sea! We highly recommend scheduling a day to do this! You will not be disappointed! This was such a memorable trip and staying at House Oliver is truly the reason why. We will be back!

Loved this house!
We couldn’t have picked a better place than Oliver and Lella’s house! They were the perfect hosts and made us feel like family right away. They were so gracious and had such great recommendations. The house itself felt like a perfect Italian home. Cozy and beautifully decorated, and fully stocked with everything we possibly could need to make us feel at home. The ingredients left looked so yummy that I made the family a delicious Italian lunch that day. The views from the patio are more than I could’ve ever imagined. Out of all the Amalfi Coast that we visited….our views from our patio were my favorite! Absolutely breathtaking!!! We also rented Oliver’s boat for a day out on the sea and was definitely the high light of our trip! The snacks, drinks, and light lunch were all delicious and the perfect amount. We honestly couldn’t say enough good things about Oliver. The only one thing is scheduling your rides are a must! Not really a taxi friendly location. And walking to the nearest downtown is long and kinda scary with kids since your walking along the road with all the cars. As long as you prepare yourself to schedule for your car rides like we did, it worked out well. We will definitely be recommending this house to our friends and family.
