I think we had the best... I think we had the best appartement on top of the building with a wonderful view to the Gulf of Salerno. The appartement is large and has nice old furnitures. We felt very well and will come back.

Secret Place On The Sorrento Peninsula Just coming back from our trip to Italy we are very impressed of the excellent service, the delicious meals and the overwhelming kindness, especially to our little daughter at the age of 12 month. The Casale Villarena is a hidden, little residence, located at the far end of the Sorrento Peninsula, surrounded by a nice lemon garden. Our apartment offered everything, we expected and more. We can recommend the Casale without hesitating. Thanks to Amalia and Mario for their immediate help and service, thanks to Guglielmo, who is a fantastic host and cook. We´ll come back.

The road's end on the Sorrento peninsula Reflecting on our four weeks in Italy this May, Casale Villarena stands out as the highlight. We booked online and flew Vancouver, Toronto, Rome and then drove a rental Nissan Note direct to Casale Villarena, about a 4 hour trip. Our Garmin Nuvi GPS did very well but for the last couple of kms when the switchback roads sort of overcame its abilities. I had driven in Italy before and had a pretty fair idea of the traffic but nothing can really prepare you for the Naples scene. Having travelled for 23 hours, we arrived. Our host Guglielmo greeted us and since we hadn't eaten suggested dinner in an hour or so at 7:00. We installed ourselves in our suite (10 stairs 5 stairs 12 stairs up) freshened up and walked down to the patio area. Guglielmo, on his own prepared and served a fabulous 4 course meal. That evening set the tone for our week. The road on the Sorrento peninsula ends at Marina de Cantone about 1.5 km past Nerano. (Google Earth can show you the topography). Our suite, three rooms in the Casale had 15 ft domed ceilings, a useful kitchen and a private deck that overlooked the village and the harbour. Each morning over coffee and cereal, we watched the village come to life as commuters (at least 5 people) left for work and the local bus (Sita) bugled its way through the swichbacks TA Dah at each blind turn, the church bell tolled the hours and the halfs and the lemon orchard grew lemons. It is so beautiful it can move one to tears! When we didn't dine at the Casale, Charlot, Massimo's place just up the road was our favourite. We went back three times. Our meals ran to about $100 Canadian for the two of us but in true italian style we have learned to linger over each course and each delicious mouthful dining from 6:30 to 9:30 enjoying choosing and discu..............................................

Estas vacaciones han sido sin lugar a dudas una de las mejores que hemos podido compartir. Nosotros viajamos de Barcelona a Italia con ferry para poder llevar nuestro coche, puesto que habíamos leido que la mejor manera de visitar la costa amalfitana era con vehículo. Al llegar Casale Villarena nos sorprendimos de la gran tranquilidad que había. Es normal, puesto que Nerano es un pueblo de pescadores perchado en la montaña. Cuando nos recibió Guillermo y Giuliano quedamos sorprendidos de la amabilidad y entusiasmo que hechan para que sus huéspedes esten comodos. Finalmente quedamos boquiabertos al ver el apartamento en el que nos ibamos a alojar. Estaba recientemente reformado y la verdad que la decoración era muy bonita. Recomendamos cenar el dia que hagan fish soup en el Casale, ya que es sin lugar a dudas una comida buenísima y el trato recibido es exquisito y muy familiar. La mayoria de los pueblos de la costa amalfitana són preciosos, pero sin lugar a dudas uno de los que más nos gusto fue la Isla de Capri, eso si tendreis que caminar mucho porquè alli no hay vehículos ni transporte público. Buenas Vacaciones! Recuerdos y gracias a Guillermo Sin lugar a dudas volveremos!!! Nora y Hugo
