We had a lovely stay at Eremo di Montevergine. The location is brilliant if you want to be near a beach - San Francesco beach is only a 10 minute walk & is unspoilt & not too touristy. There are some lovely little cafes and restaurants including da Nicola along the sea front.
There's a stunning view from Galatea of the sea, which you can see as soon as you open the door. The apartment is in a building that you reach through a private Gate & lovely gardens with cactus and pretty flowers.
The apartment is nice with good size bedrooms. And a freestanding bath in the bedroom which is unusual & luxurious.
There's a lovely terrace where you can look at the sea & watch the sun go down.
The only drawback is the kitchen which is tiny. It's difficult to cook in as its so small, and it needs to be a bit better equipped - we cooked on the 2nd night & we couldn't find a few things such as cheese grater, Chopping board, colander, wooden spoon & cafetière. The lady that managed the property was super helpful & helped us book a hire car. We asked for the kitchen equipment that was missing & she bought it the next day.
However the dishwasher was broken so we had to wash up.
There were no recycle bins which was a shame.
The apartment was a good size and the bedroom our daughter slept in was great for a child or a couple - the bed was actually more comfy than our bed which was pretty hard & could do with a mattress topper to make it a bit softer.
we didn't meet the owner but he was helpful before our stay when he Offered to organise a taxi to meet us from our boat.
It was a perfect location, close to beautiful gardens & thermal spas as well as the beach.
There were no pictures or decoration in the flat which made it feel quite monastic, so personally I feel like it could do with a few pictures on the walls, but we enjoyed our stay there apart from the hard bed! It was very clean and a quiet spot, with a stunning view and pretty gardens.

Thank you very much for your detailed review.
We are glad that you enjoyed your stay at our Apartment Galatea, as our first guests after renovation. About the dishwasher, it was new and working, but our staff was not sufficiently aware of the operating instructions . Sorry for the inconvenience.
We hope to host you again.
Best regards
