Lulu's Lemon Grove, vacation among the lemons!

From a family summer home to an American film set!
The Limoneto di Lulù offers its guests a lovely open space in a modernized eighteenth-century building, equipped with a charming lemon garden of 1200 square meters with a panoramic view of the town of Minori and the Mediterranean sea. The interiors are furnished with artistic Vietri majolica floors, and are equipped with all the necessary comforts for a relaxing stay.

Our beloved garden hosts the timeless calm, the authentic scents and the magic of the Amalfi Coast thanks to its renowned lemons (certified Sfusato Amalfitano PGI), cultivated with love and dedication by our family for 20 years. Sitting and relaxing in the garden, pampered by the silence of nature and the suggestive panorama, will be for our guests a pure and authentic way to fully enjoy their Amalfi experience.
In March 2019 we dealt with a group of "special" guests, welcoming an entire film crew who chose the Limoneto as the set in which to set the film "In Keaton's lemon garden". This ambitious project, centered on a tormented love story between two different cultures lived in the shadow of our lemons, will be nominated for 2 of the most important independent overseas festivals!

The Limoneto di Lulù is located a few minutes' walk from the characteristic beaches and alleys of the town, teeming with shops and restaurants with gourmet proposals. Minori is a strategic choice for a stay on the Amalfi Coast: it is in its center and retains the charm of authenticity not contaminated by tourist overcrowding. Small and picturesque, it is also renowned as "City of Taste" for the excellence of its restaurants and local gastronomic proposals.
Il Limoneto can be reached on foot in a few minutes from the town center. On the promenade of Minori there is the main bus stop and the port from which ferries leave: our guests can explore the entire coast by land and by sea! Public transport is also well connected with Sorrento, Salerno, Naples and Pompeii: you are spoiled for choice.
The entrance road to the Limoneto is located at a stop of the local panoramic bus / shuttle that runs throughout the day.

The guests will be welcomed directly by me and my family in person: we will take care of introducing them to the magic and history of our centuries-old lemon grove. We highly appreciate the curiosity of those who want to discover the best of this timeless place: this is why our guests will have full assistance during their stay for any question. It will be my concern to provide advice on itineraries, restaurants and unmissable destinations: the Amalfi Coast will no longer have secrets!
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned villa, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and a stovetop. There's a private balcony. A kitchenette is outfitted with a dishwasher. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
Take in the views from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

From booking to check-in communication was fantastic. Mario is such a gracious host. The little touches when we arrived were so appreciated. The view is spectacular and to be among the lemons is beyond words. The outdoor shower is a must try. Be wary of the death stairs if you take a wrong turn. There are quite a few stairs up to the property so coming with luggage is a bit difficult. We had backpacks so it was not a problem. All in all an absolutely fantastic stay at Limoneto!

Communication with Mario was excellent, and he also sorted out parking for the duration of our stay just around the corner.We loved the peace and quiet of Minori and the lemon grove after daytripping to busy places. It is very peaceful looking out across the bay. Please note there are quite a few steps to the property from the parking space, but 263 steps from the town, although we only did this once after returning back from the ferry from Capri. It's a good leg workout. We didn't realise that the outside area was shared but this wasn't a problem as there were plenty places to admire the view, and everyone was respectful. The apartment was well equipped (could do with a tray to carry things outside) and we were greeted with fresh tomatoes from Mario's Dad's garden, and Mario's Mam's homemade Lemonchello, which were both fab. It was a perfect little get away. Top tip - the driving is crazy, so go for the smallest hire car possible.

Incredible experience! Mario and his entire family were some of the best hosts my wife and I have ever encountered. Right from the beginning of booking our (honeymoon) trip, Mario was easy to communicate with and clearly takes great pride in their property and providing a great experience. It was our first time in Italy and we instantly fell in love with Minori and our lemon grove stay. Everything was as advertised and Mario’s family went above and beyond to ensure we felt comfortable and welcomed. Thank you so much to the entire family and we hope we are able to come back soon!

The nicest Italian experience we could have asked for

This little slice of heaven is beautiful! It is even more special because of the host family. Mario greeted us and gave us a little history of the lemon grove, the town, his family and the home. It was such a pleasant experience. We really enjoyed speaking with him.He was also very patient and kind as we were much later arriving then we had hoped. And when we arrived he was waiting for us with a little welcome gift as well. The home is adorable and the grounds are so very special. Be aware it is a steep walk to and from the town center with many stairs. It is very much worth it but could be a little too difficult if you have walking challenges. I would stay here again, we didnt want to leave. My entire family agrees that among our stays on this vacation including Rome, Minori, Capri, and Amsterdam this is by far our favorite. Thank you so much Mario and family! We could not have had a nicer time! You have a slice of heaven there and we hope to return again!

The ultimate Honeymoon and birthday celebration!

We came to the Limoneto to finish off our 16 day honeymoon and after 11 days of running around cities like Paris, Lyon and Florence, we felt a breath of fresh air arriving to Minori. Mario was an excellent commuincator and his dad Franco helped us with oir bags up the steps where Mea was waiting to give us a tour of the property with fresh authentic pastries and homemade limoncello and cold water. We worked up quite a sweat climbing up to the property with our luggage, but it was worth every single step. When you step onto the terrace into the Limoneto, the aroma of the lemon trees, the Mediterranean sea and all the flowers surround you and an incredible view of the sea emerges. It felt lke a dream every morning and we had to pinch oursleves waking up to that. We not onlt celebrated our honeymoon but also a birthday while we were here and it was so memorable and special, we wish we could teleport back. We finally felt like we were on vacation, sitting on that terrace having slow mornings, listening to the ocean, drinking lemon water and espresso (which Mea had pre ground the beans for us, she also went out amd got some jams and pastries for us for the mornings and some pantry basics including pasta of course to give us a base if we wanted to cook at all). Space was perfect size for us and it was so charming.The tiles and orginal arch ceilings were beautiful. PLUS the air conditioning saved our lives, it worked very well.

A true gem

Our stay in Limonetto was wonderful! Mario maintained open and clear communication before, during and until we left to ensure everything went well. When we arrived we were greeted by Mario's welcoming and hospitable family. They helped with carrying our luggage up the stairs, showing us around the apartment and sharing their delicious homemade lemon salad, limoncello and local pastries - all delicious! The lemon grove and the view to the Mediterranean sea was truly magical and relaxing; we spent memorable moments sitting under the lemon trees drinking coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening. The walk to town is about 7 mins and we were able to enjoy the local food and atmosphere. Please be aware that you will be staying on a mountain and so there is a lot of walking and stairs to get to and from Limonetto however, we drove. If driving, be aware that the roads are windy, narrrow, with people walking on the roads, cars parked on both sides, and parking is limited. Regardless, Mario helped in securing a parking space for our stay near the Limonetto which was very convenient. Mario made sure we were well cared for during our time there. Limonetto and its hosts made our overall stay in Minori a spectacular one. Grazie mille to Mario and his family in helping us build long lasting and beautiful memories!

Wow!

Such a lovely stay. The family was wonderful and shared information on the local area and they surprised us with wonderful desserts. We felt spoiled. The patio was such a delight as well. One caution for those that may not be in a position to climb stairs, this home would require steps which is often the case in this region but nonetheless worth mentioning. I would HIGHLY recommend this home. My 13 year old daughter is still sharing stories of the fun we had staying in this home.

Wonderful stay!

My friend & I had such a lovely stay in Mario’s Limoneto home. The home was cute, clean, and comfortable. We were greeted by Mario’s sweet parents upon arrival. Mario’s dad was so kind & insisted on carrying our suitcases up the stairs to the home. Mario’s mom provided us fresh lemonade from the lemon trees of her garden. She also provided us with homemade lemoncello which was absolutely delicious. The best lemoncello we’ve had! Mario’s mom was just the cutest in being so proud of her garden & lemon trees as she gave us a tour of the backyard. The outdoor space was absolutely adorable & picturesque with all the lemon trees. There was also a view of the water & the cutest small church up on the top of the hill. Mario & his parents were also so very sweet to provide us with pastries upon arrival and during our mid week stay. The pastries were so delicious! Mario was very helpful, easy to communicate with, and was quick to answer any questions we had. He provided us with awesome restaurant & transportation recommendations. Minori was just the cutest quaint town that we absolutely loved! We always were so glad to come back home to Minori after spending day trips to the more touristy busy crowded towns nearby. We loved the quietness of the town which was very relaxing to end the day. We also loved that the famous bakery Sal di Riso was in Minori and found ourselves grabbing pastries there daily. We highly recommend Mario’s Limoneto home & would definitely stay there again!

The perfect place to stay in Minori!

Thank you to Mario and his family for sharing with us their beautiful place. The Limoneto di Lulu was the perfect stay on the Amalfi Coast, away from the crowds. We enjoyed the great view of the sea, the charming lemon garden, the short walk to the beach and the great hospitality of the hosts. At our arrival, we were greeted by Mario's parents with local pastries and Limoncello and immediately felt like part of the family! They helped us with the car parking and provided recommendation for restaurants and places to see. We had a great time and are looking forward to come again soon. Grazie Mille!

Perfect for garden lovers to explore the Amalfi Coast from

My signifcant other and I had a great stay at Limoneto di Lulu. The view and garden are truly breath-taking-- even better than in photos. The apartment itself is cozy and well-suited for a couple or perhaps family of 3, and the outdoor space is large and perfect for meals and just hanging out with a glass of wine. The town of Minori is quaint and easy to navigate, and a welcome break from the craziness of surrounding areas. It's worth it to visit the other (bigger) beach towns, but plan ahead for semi unreliable bus schedules, and grab a few groceries on your way up to the cottage for lazy mornings or snacks as the trek down is about 15 minutes round trip up hills/stairs. Totally manageable, but just a note. Upon Mario's suggestion, we took the ferry in from Salerno, which was straightforward and easy, as was check-in due to Mario's very specific instructions. Mario and his family are very hospitable and willing to help at a moment's notice, including carrying my heavy suitcase up the 70+ stairs to the apartment- very grateful 😊. He also had plenty of recommendations, and booked us a reservation at the nearby Torre Normanna, which had incredible sea views. Overall, was very sad to leave our little terrace garden and grateful to the Santonicola's for the experience.

Beautiful apartment, perfect location!

We are so glad we chose to stay at Mario's family home. It is a perfectly sized apartment for two people, with thousands of fragrant lemons in the backyard. Mario was very responsive and extremely helpful when we had any questions, and he left us a detailed guide with restaurant recommendations and transportation notes. His family gave us a very warm welcome upon our arrival, and his mother even left us some treats to enjoy during our stay. These are very kind, welcoming people, and they take very good care of their home. We enjoyed Minori the most out of all the towns we visited along the coast. It is much more quiet than Positano, Amalfi, or Capri, and it was an easy walk (with some stairs!) to the neighbouring community of Maiori. Though it rained during the length of our visit, it was still breathtakingly beautiful and most outdoor activities were still enjoyable with an umbrella. If you have mobility concerns, you should be aware that there are lots of stairs leading up to the property. We were definitely in better shape after staying here for a few days! Thank you Mario (and especially his family!) for opening up your home and making our vacation so special. We hope to come back at some point in the future!

Relaxing stay in Minori

We had a wonderful 3 day stay in Minori. The property is a short walk from main beach and town. We also hiked up to Ravello using the path that runs right by the property. The property is very clean and well equipped. The best feature is the patio under the lemon trees that look out over the ocean. We had a couple of breakfasts and even a nice dinner on the patio. We will be back to vist Mario, Mea and Franco again. We can highly recommend this rental property.

The apartment is quaint and has everything you need. And the lemon grove terrace is like a little piece of heaven. Minori is a great place to base yourself from on the Amalfi coast with easy access to buses, ferries and walks to all the main spots. The restaurants are great and the town is not overrun with tourists so it’s a relaxing getaway. We cannot recommend this spot enough.

A beautiful apartment surrounded by lemon trees

We really enjoyed our stay in Limoneto di Lulu. It's a beautiful property in the heart of Amalfi Coast, only 10 min drive from Amalfi. The lemon garden is simply stunning, with beautiful views of the sea below. We loved sitting and eating outside. Mario and his family are gracious hosts. They spoiled us with homemade lemonade, fresh tomatoes from their garden, and delicious pastries for breakfast. You can see that they love their beautiful property and want to share the wonders of the Amalfi Coast with their visitors. They made us feel very welcomed. Parking on the Amalfi Coast is difficult and expensive, so the designated parking available to us ( at extra cost) was very convenient. If we ever go back to the Amalfi Coast, we would love to stay in the Limoneto again.
