I love this spot - amazing views of the gulf of Naples and Ischia. Laura the host is so lovely as is everyone who works there (and thank you Aldo!). Some tips- 1. This spot is on the steep hill overlooking Sorrento, do not take a taxi there it will be 45 euro or more, call the Villa to get information about the free shuttle to/from Sorrento that runs multiple times per day. 2. Bring your walking shoes there is a lovely hike to Sorrento on a cobblestone road from the villa, great exercise! 3. The 2nd floor room with the balcony was gorgeous, my friend had it and I wish I had paid the extra $20 to be in that room. 4. Book your small boat tour (10 people) through Laura, I did the Positano/Amalfi tour AND the Capri tour, both were epic and they picked me up and dropped me off at the Giovanna. Don't mess with the big ferries they are a waste of time and just bring you to the main towns which are total tourist traps. You get what you pay for in Sorrento! 4. Eat dinner at night at the Johanna Park Hotel up a path from the Giovanna, delicious meals, friendly staff, and the head waiter is the twin of Robert de Niro! 5. Delicious breakfast included at the villa- I have been in Europe for a month and this was by far the best breakfast I have had. 6.You can use the lovely pool area at the Johana Enjoy!
