06/01/2008 John Hello Stefania,
I apologize for not thanking you sooner, but as we arrived home our tourist season began and our Villa has been extremely busy. Anyway, I wanted to thank you very very much for such wonderful hospitality. The girls, Anna Maria, Dorina, etc. are just delightful people and you are a wonderful hostess. Arthur's birthday dinner turned out just the way it would have been if we had it at home. The house was so comfortable, I could have stayed and not come home.... When we left you, we went to Capri to stay at the Ceasar Agusta Hotel in Ana Capri. We had a beautiful suite overlooking the water and we also had a fabulous dinner at the Palace Hotel. As grand and chic as they both are, I would still prefer to stay at La Cartolina.
We will always recommend you to our friends and hotel guests that when traveling to Campagnia. And let us know if you open any more houses...
08/10/2007 Raul Horacio Beron un lugar perfecto para el descanzo y para deleitarse con la naturaleza. Una desventaja es el acceso cuando no se dispone de vehiculo propio. Ana Maria una genia
08/10/2007 Luis Cestero Ramirez , Spain It´s a really beautiful place to stay. We have to thanks to Stefania for the warm wellcoming. Try to get there with a little car, because the roads are very narrow. Let them recomend you what to do during your stay. We will go back again. Visit the nearest village like ravello, marina de cantore or Capri.

07/05/2007 Linda Had a wonderful stay at La Cartolina Residence. Great place if you like spotless rooms, beautiful views and tranquility. Our hostess was gracious and our breakfast lady, Annamaria, always greeted us with a smile. If you enjoy good hard hiking, try the climb up from Sorrento. Very challenging. I would recommend this place to anyone who doesn''t mind a fifteen-minute walk into the lovely little village of Sant''Agata and who enjoys peace, quiet and fresh air. (The bus service to Amalfi and Sorrento is excellent by the way) Thanks Stefania, Annamaria and Evelyn!
