Guest reviews
Exceptional
Liked: We had the most wonderful, relaxing time! Mrs. Ornella and her family were amazing and made us feel so at home. We had fresh eggs, salad, zucchini, figs and homemade wine, limoncello and limonade. Enjoyed the view, the landscape, the climate and the peace in a familiar but characteristic environment. We will definitely return!
Liked: Ornella - owner, even picked us up at bus stop with her husbend, provides her own wine, eggs, and lemonade concentrate Location - high up above Minori (very few tourists) and transport/planning convenience (trails, access to all Amalfi towns and Capri) - more convenient than Amalfi (higher chance if getting a seat on ferry or bus Apartment - equipped with all one needs
Nine unforgettable days at Casa Ortensia
Liked: We spent nine unforgettable days at Casa Ortensia, a beautifully situated apartment nestled in a lemon grove in Minori. From its terrace, you can admire stunning views of the town, the surrounding hills, and, of course, the glittering sea. Minori itself is a hidden gem on the Amalfi Coast — smaller and quieter than its more famous neighbors, yet every bit as charming. The sun and sea are the same as in Amalfi or Positano, but here there are no queues for ice cream, no crowds at restaurants — just calm, authentic Italian life. It’s also a perfect base for exploring the coast, as well as Naples and Pompeii. We visited in October, and the town was wonderfully peaceful while still lively, with everything open and welcoming. The apartment has everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay — a well-equipped kitchen, air conditioning, and a spacious terrace with sun loungers where you can relax and soak up the Mediterranean sunshine. Though the apartment sits high above the town, it’s only a pleasant 15-minute walk to the center and the beach. A city bus also stops nearby. With two bedrooms, a cozy living area, a kitchenette, and a large bathroom, it’s ideal for couples or families alike. But what truly makes Casa Ortensia special are its hosts — Mrs. Ornelia and her wonderful family. Their warmth and generosity made us feel not like guests, but like old friends returning home. From the very first moment, Mrs. Ornelia greeted us with a smile in the town center, guided us to the parking area on her scooter, and pointed out the best local shops. Her son helped us with our luggage, while her husband kindly stocked the fridge with fresh juices — naturally made from their own lemons! The family runs a flourishing lemon orchard, and they share its treasures with their guests: delicious juice, fragrant marmalade, limoncello, and even their own wine — all homemade and absolutely divine. One evening, to our surprise, Mrs.
Lemon tree oasis in the beautiful minori
Liked: We absolutely loved being in amongst the lemon plantations at the beginning of the lemon trail. The outdoor area was perfect for eating dinner and having a drink in front of the sunset, looking over the valley and sea. Ornella and her husband were fantastic hosts, they were particularly helpful when it came to the check in process which made our stay even better. Would highly recommend this accomodation🙂
Disliked: Everything was fantastic, but do be aware that there are many stairs to get to the property. There is a bus you can take from the town which means you only have to climb 180 stairs to the house, which was very helpful. If you are fit and healthy, it is not a problem at all.
Wonderful location for sporty people who loves nature
Liked: Host: We received a very warm welcome in Minori. The owner picked us up from the bus stop and helped us with our luggage. As the accommodation is located a little higher up on the hill and can only be reached via many stairs, this was a great help. She also informed us about current events in Minori and was always happy to answer our questions. She also makes delicious lemon syrup and lemon marmalade, which are available to purchase from her. Location: The location is great, the view from the balcony and roof terrace is really beautiful, and there are several hiking trails in the immediate vicinity. Since the accommodation has two apartments, we weren't completely alone, but it was still quiet. Facilities: The apartment has everything you need. The kitchen is small but well equipped with cutlery, plates, and pots. There are two air conditioners that worked perfectly.
Disliked: Furnishings: The apartment is charmingly furnished, but it is probably time to replace some things. We prefer firmer mattresses and we basically liked the mattress, but the right side of the mattress on the double bed was very worn and it was uncomfortable to sleep on that side. The rings on the shower curtain were also rusty. Location: The apartment is located higher up than indicated on the Booking map. This means that you cannot reach the accommodation directly from the street. Here you have to climb about 100 more stairs (approx. 70 meters in height) to reach the entrance door of the accommodation. We enjoyed the extra stair climbing on some days, but on others it was a bit more difficult for us.
Liked: Fantastic view of Minori, mountains and the Amalfi coast. A holiday home in a lemon plantation. Very clean and practical for the family. We prepared pasta dishes and enjoyed the local wine.
Disliked: There are many steps to climb. But it was worth it to enjoy the views and the fresh air.
