So how do I fit everything into a review… my wife and I toured Italy for our 25th Anniversary this September and needed a place to stay for the last five days of our time. As we didn’t know exactly where we wanted to finish off after time in Rome, Florence & Tuscany, we left this booking til last minute. Sorrento was booked pretty solid and man were we thankful in the end. Looking around the neighbouring towns we came across Villa Ketty in Vico Equense, a small quiet town just a few miles down the coast away from the chaos of wall to wall tourists in Sorrento. In Vico Equense there were a few tourists out and about, but felt like mostly locals but still great restaurants, etc to choose from. When we arrived by train I called the Villa, Antonio the owner answered and send Fernando down to pick us up right away. The friendly welcome and hospitality was second to none, honestly. They had planned a pizza party for dinner that night at the Villa, 45 year experienced pizza chef came on site and made the best pizza we have ever had. Period. He served us at our tables with the biggest smile when we saw how much we liked his pizza.
Villa Ketty, named after Antonio’s mother in law, is perched on the edge of the cliff overlooking the ocean with a perfect view of the little town and bay of Naples. Sun sets into the water right out your door.
Loved it. Will stay again.
