Overall, this was a wonderful place to stay for our week on the Amalfi Coast. The property is very nice with an amazing view of the sea. The surrounding environment is full of olive trees, which enhances the beauty. The owners, a wonderful older Italian couple that harvests the olives from those trees, were so nice to us (and completely unobtrusive - and don't expect English!) - they brought us fresh olive oil from their harvest, and great-tasting fresh cut tomatoes from their garden when we first arrived. The only things to be aware of are the following: you definately need a car to stay here as it is a little off the beaten track (not that bad, but you'll want to be able to drive in and out). The drive between the Lizard and the small town of Torca up above is not for a timid driver (really tight spots/turns, etc.) The very nice two-story house with great grounds had all the basic stuff you'd need, but ask for extra towels make sure you bring the staples of food items like coffee, etc. The addl charges for energy usage are not cheap so depending upon what time of year you're there, be mindful of A/C or heat use. We used the washing machine a few times and apparently that wasn't cheap along with using the gas stove, etc. We ended up paying an extra $%150, although the rental fee in mid-October was very reasonable. If you don't mind being somewhere quieter, and more authentic (we never do) with a smashing view and very nice accommodations - the Lizard could be the ticket for you.
