Relais Villa Giusso

Historic and artistic None

Very charming location, great view to the coast at sunset, feels like the time stands still. The host is very kind, the dishes at dinner are authentic and home made. A great place to wind down and relax. It is a huge domain, authentic italian countryside vibes and it also has a nice pool.

Beautiful place full of history and nature. Lovely hosts. Fantastic food. Not easy to drive up there but definitely worth it

it’s such a unique place with its own history. You can feel the character and charm in every detail, which made our stay truly special and memorable.”

Everything! History, authenticity, exciting drive up and down the mountain, stunning view, furnishings, high quality standard, amazing food, most delightful hosts and owners, not enough time!!

Remarkable history, location, food and people.

The villa itself is a masterpiece. Every corner tells a story: from the ancient stone walls and arched ceilings to the original frescoes and the cloistered gardens that seem to breathe history. Yet, despite its rich past, the property is perfectly maintained and offers all the comforts you could hope for. Our room was spacious, elegant, and tastefully preserved, with sweeping views of the coastline and surrounding countryside. Waking up to birdsong and the scent of citrus from the nearby groves was a daily gift. Breakfasts were a particular highlight — fresh, local ingredients served in a sunlit dining room. We also LOVED a the community dinner. But what truly made our stay unforgettable was the warmth and thoughtfulness of the hosts. They were generous with their time, sharing stories about the villa’s history, offering recommendations for hidden gems in the area, and always ensuring we felt at home. Their passion for the place is evident, and it made our experience feel deeply personal. Villa Giusso is not just a place to stay — it’s a place to connect: with nature, with history, and with the quieter, more reflective rhythms of life. We left feeling rested, inspired, and already longing to return.

Superb

We had the warmest welcome and a fascinating stay. Erminia was so welcoming and full of the most interesting information. Thank you to her and her family for sharing their home with us. We had dinner there twice and on both occasions the meals and wines were absolutely delicious. We also thoroughly enjoyed the home made cakes with coffee. The property was delightful and an historic gem, but we did find it to be quite a challenge to get there on the narrow roads. That said, we are planning to return sometime soon!

It’s a very unique place, and we liked everything about it, especially amazing dinners and breakfast in the kitchen with original 17th century tiles on the wall. The apartment was exceptional. The road to the top of the mountain is a challenge. You need a small car (smaller than you think) with automatic gearbox and courage. However, after driving to and from a couple of times you will get a hang of it, and the location is worth it.

Mamma mia, we are back from Villa Giusso and I simply can't take it out from my mind and heart. This place is a completely magical blend of history, charm, nature, beauty and hospitality. Who would believe that in the middle of the posh area of Amalfi coast, with its glitter and excitement, reigns on the hill a place of miracle and peace? The old world looks with indulgence at the new world unfolding at its feet. Everything is unique at Villa Giusso: the old monastery with a rich history, the owners story, once one of the richest and noble families of Napoli, the location watching over the golf and the Vesuvius, the greenery of the domain with the healing olive trees, the little pool seated almost up in the skies, with a breathtaking view, the original majolica tiles kitchen, the absolutely interesting museum in the attic's and not last, the special rooms furnished with many original but comfortable pieces of antique furniture. Every evening the dinner in the old kitchen, together with the italian family and the other guests was a delight. The ladies from the village cooked us delicious italian dishes, with fresh ingredients from the farm belonging to the Masseria. We were lucky to share the place with two lovely German families with whom we instantly clicked and spend joyful meals and after drinks plus an extraordinary domain walk. We hope to meet them again in Germany or Romania. The place is a true wonder but the condiment giving the aroma is Mrs Erminia, one of the two owning sisters, who took care of us. Rarely I meet somebody so attentive to its guests, she immediately feels if you need something and gracefully finds a solution. I still have her beautiful and cheerful laugh in my head as I see her leading us through the olive trees like a fairy spreading around joy and energy. You can see she is a genuine and caring person.

This property is spectacular. Great staff, food, amenities. Incredible place to stay on holiday. There was confusion about checkout and being able to charge the credit card on file for meals. However, the situation was worked out with management.

Exceptional

The place is like absolutely beautiful and the owners are incredible people! Our flight was very late so they were waiting for us until late at night! We were so lucky to stay in that place! I recommend it 100%!

Very historic. Historic and modern all at the same time . Beautiful room.

This beautiful and warm family-run agriturismo exceeded all of our expectations. Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Cozy breakfast around the kitchen table. Relaxing pool. Beautiful views for the aperitivo and dinner. Will visit again. n/a

It is a spacious former hilltop monastery with some catered rooms, while we stayed in a comfortable self-catering apartment with its own kitchen. It is a beautiful estate often used for weddings and offers spectacular views of the bay of Naples, Vesuvius, Ischia, and the sunsets are unmatched. The owners have revived it from semi-abandonment to a stunning place for guests, with olive groves, play areas, swimming pool, chef-prepared delicious dinners overlooking the bay, and an option for a pizza masterclass using their ancient oven. They have a clear love for the place and are happy to share its rich history, from monks to royalty and Nobel prize winners. It's up a hill with long narrow roads making for challenging driving, but most roads are like this in the area, and generally locals are patient with tourists.

Exceptionay friendly and personal hospitality

Everything was perfect.

Gorgeous location and real estate. Amazing food. Takes you back in time
