Villarena Relais

Villarena is fabulous! Guglielmo is incredibly welcoming and looked after us very well, with delicious food for breakfast and dinner, as well as lovely wines. The accommodation (we stayed in the Brigante apartment) is very comfortable and clean, with a great kitchen as well as beautiful views over the sea. The bed was very comfortable! Guglielmo was able to recommend places to visit, including about Pompeii and Herculaneum, as well as being very accommodating of our two children. Overall, it’s a perfect place to stay and we would go back tomorrow.

We had a wonderful stay at Villarena Relais for our son's wedding. The accommodations were exactly as advertised. The food and dining experience was wonderful. Guglielmo and his staff were exceptional.

A beautiful gem in Nerano. We absolutely loved our stay here, the property was stunning with beautiful gardens and an amazing view. Perfect location close to the start of the walk to the bay of leranto as well as being close to an amazing restaurant in the town (we stayed when the villarena relais restaurant was closed). Guglielmo was very welcoming and friendly. Would recommend this stay to anyone!

We took their Basic cooking class and it was fantastic! The staff are so welcoming and friendly. We felt like part of the family. The cooking experience was wonderful and fun! I highly recommend this experience if you are in Italy 🇮🇹

Guglielmo and the Villarena Relais staff were brilliant throughout our stay. The food offering was brilliant with a varied menu that offered better food than we had elsewhere visiting Positano or Sorrento. All fresh seafood cooked brilliantly alongside some great wines from the local area. I would highly recommend staying if you want an authentic experience outside the obvious tourist traps (which you can still visit easily).

Wonderful experience. Off the beaten path and every little attention was given to detail from each meal & each excursion. G & his staff are so caring..They make sure you enjoy every moment. The grounds are meticulous and more beautiful than words can describe. If you like a smaller more personal experience, you will not be disappointed. 5 star service and experience.

I have been waiting to experience the Amalfi Coast and had the opportunity to do so. Our group stayed at Casale Villarena for 9 incredible days. Guglielmo and his incredible staff treated us like family from the moment we arrived. Very attentive to all of our needs, going above and beyond to make us feel welcomed, providing us with great, exquisite, custom excursions. I can’t say enough about the amazing food we had each day. We were greeted each morning with a welcoming deluxe continental breakfast with homemade in-house breads, cakes, croissants, fruit, homemade jams and honey, fresh farm eggs, cheeses, tomatoes and expresso. And each night we were treated to a different cuisine, all fresh local ingredients or grown on the premises. From fresh vegetables to homemade pastas, in-house olive oils (Lemon my favorite), wine, pizza, fresh fish, etc. This list goes on and on. As a person with dietary restrictions I have at home, I found that I was able to eat everything with no issues. And the desserts were amazing! Not overly sweet like we have back in the states. The entire Villa was beautifully decorated, and the ambiance was so peaceful. From eating al fresco for breakfast and dinners each night, to a wine and cheese pairing, to a outside Italian BBQ with fresh grilled veggies, and skewers, with music and dancing to top it off. We had a wonderful pizza night as well. Each day I discovered the hidden gems within the Villa. Sitting by the beautiful pool, overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, going up to the garden where for find grapes for the wine, tomatoes, herbs, eggplant, zucchini, and much more. Bountiful of lemon trees surround the grounds. Quiet places to sit and enjoy looking out over the waters of the Amalfi Coast. Waking up each morning to some spectacular sunrises and enjoying our evening meals while watching the sunset and drinking the homemade lemoncellos and wine. Beautifully decorated with Italian tile throughout the villa. And many stairs all around, as I achieved my daily intake of steps. We were taken on amazing excursions each day full of fun and surprises. Guglielmo and his team ensure that each day is had something different planned and he hosts groups on hikes to Jacinto Bay, (amazing) snorkeling and boat trips (my all-time favorite of the trip) along the Amalfi Coast, Pompeii, Sorrento, Capri, and the entire Coast! It’s hard to put into words what an experience I had and would absolutely go back there again. It was truly special, didn’t disappoint and will always have a special place in my heart with great moments and memories. THANK YOU - Gugliemo,and your amazing staff for welcoming our family to yours. This is sure to be a special place in my heart always.

This is my 3rd (one week) stay at Casale Villarena and Guglielmo and his incredible staff never disappoint! They always go above and beyond, providing every comfort, amazing food, in-house made jams, limoncello, olive oil and delicious wines, not to mention the fresh tomatoes and other delights from the garden out back. Guglielmo and his team ensure that each day is pushed over the top with many wonderful surprises and he hosts groups on hikes, snorkeling and boat trips along the Amalfi Coast, Pompeii, Sorrento, Capri, and the entire Coast! There really are no words to describe the incredible experience offered when staying at Casale Villarena...so very special, each and every time! THANK YOU, Gugliemo, Noemi, Giovanna, the other Giovanna, Pietro and all of our wonderful friends...you are simply the BEST!!!
