Villa Ketty Resort

Antonio and Ketty were so nice since the very second we arrived in. The view from our room was unforgettable and Vico Equense is so much better than the more expensive Sorrento. Only 10 minutes by the train. Vico has also many choices of restaurants to offer. If you look for the best experience and value for your money (including the best breakfast in Italy) this is your ultimate-choice.

Nothing.

Antonio will meet you in town where you park and drive you to the villa along an impossibly narrow hillside road that has been used for millennia. Villa Ketty is nestled into a mountain with spectacular vistas of Napoli Bay and Mt. Vesuvio. The property is terraced into the hill with trees of lemons, olives, nuts, bananas and persimmons- all of which you can eat at the breakfast table. Swim in the pool or relax on one of the many patios and watch the stunning sunsets. Vico Equense is a town for Italians on holiday with few tourists. Best to take the train from Vico to Pompei or Sorrento as the roads are windy and exhausting. As special as the villa is, it’s the hospitality that makes this a hidden gem. Antonio’s family has managed the resort for generations and service is their specialty. Anything you need they will provide. Want to stay in for the evening? They pick up your food and serve you at the villa, including a full-service bar. And the breakfast! Endless Italian fare with cakes, pastries, nuts, fruits, melanzane, breads, cheeses, fresh eggs, and coffee made to order, all inclusive. The rooms are large, comfortable and the bedding and linens are luxurious. A television and WiFi are provided. They also offer free transportation to central parking (also free), the train station, or Pizza a Metro in town. Stay an extra day or two if you wish to regenerate your soul. Otherwise, as Antonio says, “I await your return”.

Some rooms have tubs without a shower, but the hand nozzle suffices.

Magical place with amazing hosts. The nicest family hosted us in their magnificent villa with the most amazing views and the best breakfast I have ever had, all home made. You can’t get better value for money.

It’s a little far from town and quite a climb. The hosts are happy to drive you at any time though
