Our group of 8 (4 couples, ages 35-60) fell in love with the exquisite gem, Villa Elena. From the time of our original booking, Marica was extremely helpful and prompt in answering all our questions. As our trip approached, we were connected with our host, Guilia, who was absolutely fantastic. Guilia assisted with transportation to and from the villa, arranged tours (shopping trips, cooking class, wine tasting, and a private boat trip to Capri). She went above and beyond expectations to ensure our experience was unforgettable. The location was perfect as it sits between Positano and Amalfi, close enough to enjoy surrounding areas, but far enough away to relax in the quiet and quaintness of Conca dei Marina.
The villa was just as described; spacious, elegant, and meticulous. There are many seating areas to relax and experience the breathtaking view. We stayed in May with unusually warm weather so enjoyed cooling off in the pool and sitting on the patio. We chose to eat most of our meals at Nino’s when we were not out and about. The food was amazing and the staff treated us as family. As mentioned in other reviews, there are a lot of steps up to the villa, but there are many steps all over Amalfi, so just make sure you are prepared before you go.
We have already decided to return next year with our adult children and are excited for them to experience the Villa Elena and Amalfi Coast hospitality. Thank you Marica, Guilia, and Villa Elena Staff for a truly wonderful holiday.
