Casa Vela (Villino Blue) was a perfect, beautiful stay for our small family (3 adults, 1 couple + 1) on the Amalfi coast.
Gianluca (GL) the host went above and beyond with recommendations for our travel, arranging reservations for us and even picked us up at the beach where we arrived by water taxi. After navigating many travel details throughout Italy, the concierge-like service along with this amazing location made it a highlight of our trip.
We got by without a car as we embrace the many steps, walking and figuring out the local transportation. If you do have a car, the villa comes with a parking space, which is rare for this area, though driving would be its own challenge in this hill towns.
The villa has most anything one needs for comfort, cooking and a nice local character. GL and his family are nearby and available for questions or assistance.
Systems-plumbing, AC etc are a bit quirky as is normal in Italy.
Location is in middle of town/hill so good loc for accessing both lower sites: beaches, the village “center”, water side walks; road and transportation to other Amalfi Coast locations and also upper sites: some amazing restaurants, churches and the hiking trail Sentiero degli Dei.
The views and sun at all times of day from the two patios are reason enough to stay here.
