We arrived in Italy 5 weeks ago, this included 14 days on a 5 star ship cruising Italy and France. We didn.t know what to expect on the last leg of our journey and could not believe our good fortune when we arrived at Casale Villarena. The view of the Gulf of Salerno was awe inspiring. Our hosts Guglielmo, Mario and Guiliano could not do enough to make our stay memorable. Rosa and Guglielmo are fantastic cooks and made delicious food for us in the evening under the stars. Mario, quite the entrepeneur his favourite saying is "why not" gave us a special tour of the olive groves where we were able to really experience what it feels like to live and work in the hills of Italy. We were able to tour a processing factory for olive oil and met many of the workers who were so happy to show us their work. All in all it was a wonderful experience, probably one of the best experiences that we had. Mario is an excellent guide and a very generous spirit. We would greatly recommend Casale Villarena to everyone. Diane and Don McKendrick Maple Bay Vancouver Island, British Columbia Canada.

Casale Villarena is a wonderful development in the heart of Nerano in the Massa Lubrense province in the Amalfi peninsular. We stayed in the apartment La Rotonda which is one of four residences in the main building of the Casale. The apartment was superbly appointed with a balcony overlooking the bay of Marina del Cantone. All of the friendly staff at Casale Villarena will go out of their way to help you to have a wonderful holiday experience. Whether you want to book a boat trip to Capri or make a request for dinner, you probably won’t have to ask for advice or help. My partner and I are both very hard to please when it comes to holiday accommodation and food, however I have to say that this is probably the best vacation experience we have ever had and it is mostly due to the surroundings and staff of Casale Villarena.

As a principle, we never go back to places we have been to. But this is different, very different. The hospitality, the service, the food, the cleaning is just excellent. If you combine this with the surroundings of the Amalfi coast - you cannot find a better place to spend your holidays. We were here in 2006 and now in 2008. One thing for sure, we will be back. This is also the perfect place to stay if you want to share your holiday with close friends. It is like having our own villa but with 5 star service.

We're back home in Ontario Canada after a wonderful holiday in Italy. Our stay in Nerano at Casale Villarena was wonderful. The view of the ships and the reflection of the moon on the water was a treat each evening sitting on the porch. As it turned out the use of the villa was the best suited accommodation for the four of us. My only suggestion would be new mattresses in the second bedroom where we slept. I can't speak for the other room. Our evening meal at your restaurant was one of the most delicious meals we enjoyed in our three weeks. I would highly recommend your villa to anyone and thank you for making our stay so memorable. Thanks so much. Donna and John Taylor
