Just finished 7 days at Villa Orleans, and it's simply magic.
We opted for a taxi from the airport in Naples directly to the hotel - all set up in advance by the lovely owners of the Villa. When we arrived, Gerardo was waiting to lead us to the Villa. After a quick tour of the amazing grounds, it was clear that this is much more than a beautiful location. Hospitality is unlike what you'll see at any hotel in the region, and many steps above most B&B's as well. Gerardo sets out to help you feel at home, while exploring the sights of the Amalfi coast.
The Villa itself is nestled high up above Amalfi town, with an enchanting view of the Tyrrhenian sea and coastline (including some of the best sunrises you'll ever see). All of the rooms have the same great view of the sea, with modern comforts that are perfect for the stay (large bed and rainfall shower included!).
Worried about being too far away? Don't be. The location is perfect. Getting into town is an easy 20 min walk down a few walkways, and getting back is a quick bus ride to a stop immediately above the Villa. The peacefulness of the Villa is worth the walk. Wake up to sunrise and roosters on the patio, have breakfast, then spend the day exploring. Return after dinner and have wine on the patio.
When the time arrives to continue exploring the Amalfi coast, we will stay at Villa Orleans again.
