A very charming setting
We had a delightful week at Villa Erca. We stayed in apartment Capri which faces Capri from the main bedroom window. A view we never tired of! Everything was lovely and pretty peaceful. Raquel made us feel very welcome and, as newbies to this area, we were so grateful that she showed us all the places we should visit while we were there on a map. The drive up to the Villa did take some learning and required steel nerves but by our last day we we’re old hands at it! Very Small 4x4 is what I’d recommend. The area is so beautiful. We stayed on the little peninsula for most of the time renting a boat which we motored around the coast in and over to Capri. We thought the Captain Cook beach and restaurant with its local peach wine was superb. We arrived by boat one day and by tiny bus another. Our highlight was the Enogastronomic tour organised the Ristorante da Francesco in Schiazzano where we ate a few times as it was a short walk from the Villa. We visited a lemon grove, a local artisan cheese farm and then made our own pizzas for lunch. Wonderful and the families who run this are so lovely and so welcoming- in fact all the Italians we met were so friendly and helpful. We will go back to the Massa Lubrense, this is certain. I miss the lemons and the olive oil already.
