About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Villa Elena is a prestigious villa with a pool and suggestive sea view.

Villa Elena is located in the heart of Conca dei Marini, a small Italian town, far from noisy tourism and close to the famous cities of the Amalfi Coast. Amalfi and Positano are a few kilometers away from our villa.

The Amalfi Coast, as it is called by the Italians, has many hidden romantic places and at least as many secret stories to discover. For this reason many VIPs have come and come to enjoy the "Dolce Far Niente", the "Joviality of the locals", the "good food" and also the spectacular views from wherever you are.

Villa Elena is a prestigious and exclusive villa with a suggestive sea view, surrounded by verdant gardens and panoramic terraces, which allow you to see the coast from a splendid position and enjoy your holidays as the first ladies Jackeline Kennedy and Hillary once did Clinton or the famous actress Sophia Loren.

The Villa is accessible from a private entrance, which leads to the main gate and the first of the two levels. This wonderful property offers you several terraces with panoramic views, a swimming pool and a jacuzzi with hydromassage. All seven bedrooms are furnished in an elegant Baroque style and equipped with every modern comfort.

First level
After walking 65 steps, you arrive at the main gate and you have access to a small driveway that leads to the first terrace with a panoramic swimming pool, outdoor shower and Jacuzzi. Here you have the opportunity to relax on one of the deck chairs and have the real feeling of magic when you see the famous sunset of Capri. You can also find three double bedrooms on this level. Two independent, with attached bathroom, and one of these with a small living room, with the possibility of using a sofa bed. The third double bedroom is included in the main house of the villa, always with bathroom. Each bedroom is equipped with TV, air conditioning, heating, toilet, shower and sink.

The main house consists of a spacious terrace with large tables where you can eat outside, a dining room, a living room and a kitchen area inside, always with a dining table, chairs, sofa, TV, Wi-fi free, DVD. The kitchen is well-equipped, with a four-burner stove, an electric oven, a dishwasher, a refrigerator, an icebox, a coffee machine, a toaster and all the necessary utensils.
All rooms face the sea.

Second level
You reach the second level by going up a few steps, with other possibilities to sit and relax. This second level of the Villa is composed as follows: three independent bedrooms with adjacent bathrooms. Each bedroom is equipped with TV, air conditioning, heating, toilet, shower, and sink. All have their own terrace with sea view. This level offers a particular covered gazebo, which invites you to enjoy the extraordinary panorama and spend unforgettable hours.

Basement
Under the terrace of the main house there is another room, a service and storage room. Here you find a laundry room and there is enough space to store your things.
During your stay at this villa, you'll be within walking distance of Emerald Grotto. You'll find features such as free WiFi in public areas, plus an outdoor pool and a water park. Free WiFi and a private pool are available in the villa.

Disappointing Stay at Villa Elena: Unresolved Issues and Inconveniences!

I recently stayed at Villa Elena, a centrally located and beautiful property. However, my experience was marred by several issues. Although the management team responded to our requests, they were unable to resolve the hot water problem, resulting in cold showers for most of our stay—an unacceptable inconvenience. Additionally, the Wi-Fi was out for an entire evening and part of the following day. We also dealt with a persistent ant problem in the rooms, which remained unresolved despite two visits from the cleaning staff. The main gate was often jammed and difficult to open, which added to our frustration. The villa provided only a limited number of towels for our group of 13, forcing us to do laundry frequently. Pool towels were missing initially and were only provided after we pointed out the oversight, reflecting a lapse in management. These unresolved issues and lack of compensation for the inconveniences led to a disappointing stay. I recommend potential guests carefully consider these factors before booking.

Sub par for the price!

I recently stayed at this property, and unfortunately, it was overall a mediocre experience. First off, the lack of air conditioning was a major issue. We visited during a warm period, and the house became almost unbearable in the afternoons and evenings. Even with fans, it was uncomfortable, and it made it difficult to relax or get a good night's sleep. They have air conditioning but it is completely useless. Another significant problem was the ant infestation. We noticed ants in the kitchen on the first day, and despite our efforts to keep things clean, they seemed to be everywhere. Another issue is you have to climb 80+steps and the host asked us to pay $15/bag to have a porter. To make matters worse, the place was lacking in basic amenities. The toiletries provided were of poor quality and in very limited supply. We ended up having to go out and buy our own, which was inconvenient and unexpected given the price I paid for the rental. Overall, the property is average for the price they demand. Lack of air conditioning, combined with the ant problem and the subpar toiletries, made for an uncomfortable stay. I would not recommend this property and suggest looking elsewhere for a better experience. Unless you have your own transportation this area is very difficult to access. I would recommend staying near the water as this place is way high up. The views from the pool are good but they are blocked by the planters which made no sense to me.

Family trip of a lifetime to the most beautiful Villa

Villa Elena is a stunning property with plenty of space for a large group. It’s even more lovely than the pictures. We stayed with adults and young children and we enjoyed all that Conca dei Marini has to offer. Villa Elena is in a great location; close to the square and restaurants and grocery store. The pool was lovely and the terraces have views out of this world! We’re already planning our next trip! Giulia was so helpful. Marica always responds to emails quickly. Don’t hesitate to book your stay here

Family vacation on the Amalfi Coast !

The week at Villa Elena was perfect for our family of 15 — grandparents / our children / AND the 8 grandchildren! The 7 bedrooms were private with individual bathrooms ,,, the view was fabulous from all levels of the property— and the pool was a big hit for the entire family. When you stay at Villa Elena — you enjoy the Amalfi Coast in a quiet beautiful area — and only minutes to the drama of tourists in the towns of Amalfi and Positano. It’s a vacation with great memories !

Beautiful villa and pool away from the tourists

The photos really don’t do the villa justice. Most rooms are their own little suite with a private door going out to the pool and sitting areas. The pool was perfect. We enjoyed both restaurants that were nearby and the grocery store was very convenient. Getting to the main towns is a bit difficult. The buses run infrequently and cabs are pretty expensive. I would recommend this villa if you want to spend a lot of time there with friends and family and have a beautiful and spacious home base. As noted in the listing, there are several stairs up to the villa but the entire area is like that. If you don’t like stairs, don’t go to the Amalfi Coast.

Absolutely Perfect!

No complaints on the property. It was clean, in great condition and as described. Only great things to say about the location...perfectly situated with easy access to the upper road and the lower road to get anywhere along the coast. The hostess was fabulous and helped us through anything we needed. I would stay here again!! Prepare for a daily workout anywhere you stay in Amalfi, but particularly in Conca as walking is the best (and most fun) way to get around and there are a lot of stairs! Be sure to stop by and say hi to Salvatore and rent a scooter and the base of the steps! Ninos was of course delicious and very close by.

Amazing Amalfi Coast Property

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.

The Place You’ll Want to Stay in Conca Dei Marini.

Our group of 3 greatly enjoyed our recent stay at Villa Elena. The interior is nicely decorated with antique furniture and beautiful ceramics and has a magnificant view of the ocean. While there are 7 well decorated bedrooms we only used 2 of them — the one located off the kitchen in the main part of the house (living room/kitchen/dining room) and another one on the 2nd level. The expansive patio off the living room has 2 high quality square sun umbrellas that are approx 10x10 each and afford plenty of shade. The pool is quite nice — but not heated — and there are 2 bedrooms steps away. We had hoped to use the pool more than we did mainly because the weather was spotty and a bit cool w/a few days of rain. There are additional seating areas (patio & garden) on the 2nd level where the remaining 4 bedrooms are located. In short, guests will have no shortage of places to sit and take in the view. As for steps, others have already commented at length about this and there is no need to spend much time on it other than to say that: if you arrive with luggage, we strongly advise that you ask the very friendly and attentive Giulia to arrange for a local porter to do so when you arrive and when you depart. It is money well spent and you will be very happy that you were not lugging your 2 bags up to the Villa …..or down 62 steps when you depart. We departed at 7:15 am on a rainy/windy day and were happy to have our 5 bags brought down to the car. Giulia was in constant contact with us and was invaluable, helping to make restaurant reservations; a private boat excursion to Capri; visit to a cheese shop in Ravello, etc. If we had one suggestion for the owner, it would probably be to please stock the villa with water. Prior to coming to Conca Dei Marini we rented a property on the Isle of Ischia which was stocked with about 2 cases of water (still and sparkling) and a welcome bottle of French champagne. Lugging water up to the villa over & over is a bit of a pain. That said — fun time!…..see you next time!!

Excellent Amalfi Coast property

We were celebrating our parents' 50th anniversary and decided to stay a bit off the beaten path. Conca Dei Marini is a charming town that really provides a glimpse of small coastal town life! Villa Elena is very beautiful and we loved that each of the seven rooms had its own bathroom and in effect, functioned like a mini hotel. The pool and outdoor area was pristine and the sea view was breathtaking. From Conca Dei Marini it was easy to take day trips to Amalfi, Ravello, Sorrento, Positano, Maiori and Capri. We really enjoyed the rock beach in Capo di Conca. The location requires a lot of walking, including hills and steps, so everyone should be in good health. The property manager for Villa Elena was exceptional and provided us with a great deal of guidance throughout our stay. Our children, middle school and high school aged, loved swimming in the grottoes and in general the sea! Villa Elena is a very special place and we definitely recommend it!

Up high with stunning views.

Our group of 14, 4 families ranging in age from 15-52, enjoyed our stay. The view was spectacular. The main living room did not have A/C but it was not bad considering the heat that week. There are fans. Each bedroom had A/C but was controlled by a main unit. Some rooms did not get as cool as others, so those looking for very cool rooms will not get it. Some of the bedrooms were on the small side but we didn't spend much time in them. The beds were very firm and comfortable. The ensuite bathrooms were small with tiny showers, but was sufficient. Pool was fantastic, we used it everyday and night! The young boys used the downstairs "grotto" room to watch TV and play cards. Yes, there are tiny ants. We only had them on the terrace where we ate most of the time. It's the area, they get ants, no big deal. The wifi did not work in the bedrooms and in main areas it was spotty but not surprising considering the quiet location way up in the hills. 60+ stairs to get to the villa were challenging to some at first but by the end of the week we were experts and in much better shape! Some could run up! We ate at Ninos quite often as it was so close and convenient. Pizza was very inexpensive and delicious. Nino's even delivered fresh warm croissants to the villa every morning for breakfast, they are delicious, don't miss out! Just up the road, Le Bonta del Capo had good food, gelato and karaoke. It was entertaining and usually pretty busy, a little more upscale than Ninos. We walked the thousand or so steps to the beach once and it wasn't bad. Lovely little beach with several restaurants. Make sure you go at least once, and bring water shoes as beaches are very rocky. Some of us walked back the whole way up to the villa and others walked the 300 stairs up to Hotel Belvedere, and then took the local bus to Ninos. The best part of our stay was Guilia, our hostess. She was always a text or call away and helped us with reservations, bookings and any questions. She's the best and made our stay so easy and special.

Villa Elena & Conca Love

We were a group of 15; two young children...we absolutely loved our magical stay in Conca at Villa Elena. Guilia was a fabulous host and was always available for our needs. She made booking any excursions and transports a breeze. We had a fabulous time and hope to return....while the stairs are mentioned several times in many reviews, we found no problems with them. My four year old walked up and down them several times a day with little to no complaints. The stairs to the beach were more effort but not impossible, especially if using the bus to the halfway point. We LOVED Villa Elena and Conca!

Beautiful property with stunning ocean views

Highly recommend with a few caveats. First the pros- this is a gorgeous property with truly amazing ocean views, a nice pool area, lovely outdoor dining area and comfortable and well-equipped bathrooms for each bedroom. Each bedroom has air conditioning, which is very nice. The villa is covered in, and surrounded by fragrant and lovely flowering vines. The more than 60 stone steps to reach the villa from the street are tiring but doable and provide good exercise. There is a little grocery, scooter rental, small pizzeria and separate large and delicious restaurant only a few minutes walk from the villa. The kitchen is small but adequate and quite charming. And there are two refrigerators. The property manager is quite helpful in arranging for drivers and excursions if desired. The cons: parking is a bit tricky. Though two parking passes are available, no parking spots are guaranteed. The washing machine is very small and does not clean very thoroughly; the dishwasher is nearly useless so best to hand wash; a neighbor’s dog barks incessantly (but that is offset by the delightful charm of the crowing rooster); the Wi-Fi barely functions, but that can be a pro as well by encouraging your teens to unplug. Water and electricity are not guaranteed 100 pct of the time. We had one day during our week rental when we were without water most of the daytime and one night in which the electricity was out for roughly 20-30 minutes. The other con is the “maid service.” We were told there would be a cleaning at midweek but no cleaning occurred that we could discern. All that said, the pros far outweigh the cons. We’ve rented many villas over the years, including others along the Amalfi Coast. Villa Elena is a gem and priced quite fairly for the spectacular beauty it affords; the seven bedrooms with private full baths; and all other benefits listed above.

An Amalfi Coast Gem

My family and I had a wonderful time at Villa Elena. The view was breathtaking. The villa was spacious, comfortable and beautiful. The pool was perfect for us to cool down after a hot day of sightseeing. Our host, Guila, was fabulous. Her guidance and support enriched our trip. She is a perfect combination of warmth and professionalism. She was able to help us chose and confirm transportation to Positano for a fishing trip and arrange a private boat tour of the coast and Capri. (probably our favorite day). Along with her charming family, Guilia prepared a meal in the villa on our second night, and it was delicious. We enjoyed the pasta and pizza a Nino's multiple times. Villa Elena was a perfect place to relax and absorb all that the Amalfi Coast has to offer. I hope to visit again someday.

Perfect Villa for Wedding Celebrations

We were a group of 11 adults and a child staying at Villa Elena for a family wedding in the area, and for our purposes it was perfect. I never felt like we were on top of each other as the villa has lots of private areas to escape to if necessary. The villa itself is beautiful, there are 7 bedrooms all with en-suite facilities and 6 of the rooms are accessed externally from the terraces. The villa is pretty well equipped and I didn’t really feel like I was missing any major home comforts. The views from the house are absolutely stunning and I’d have been quite happy to sit there for hours just taking it in. The steps to the villa are challenging especially on arrival with all the luggage, but we were offered assistance with this at a cost of €5 euros per case. This seemed pretty excessive but fortunately for us we were able to manage this. By the end of our stay the steps didn’t really seem that much of a problem, however if you have any mobility or breathing related health condition, I would perhaps consider staying somewhere else on the flat. Giulia the property manager was extremely attentive and helpful. She kept in touch throughout our stay and a problem we had with the hot water was addressed immediately. I have to also mention Nino who owns a restaurant bar just a few hundred yards from the villa. He was very friendly, extremely accommodating and nothing seemed to be too much trouble for him. The food was lovely too. He also helped with lifts and cabs in the area, as these can be very costly. The villa and area certainly fit our needs for the wedding party as we had lots of friends and family dropping in to see us and I would say it’s perfect for entertaining. All in all we really enjoyed our time at Villa Elena, the Amalfi coast region is visually stunning and to my mind Italy at its finest. Would I go back to Villa Elena.....yes in a heartbeat.

Dream Come True

Our party of 12 (6 couples) spent 5 nights at Villa Elena. The villa is beautiful. I’ve never experienced a more attentive and gracious hostess than Guilia. She was delightful in every way!! I told her she can come visit us anytime! We opted to have dinner prepared. It seemed like 8 courses. It was sooo much delicious Italian food. Their service was impeccable. As other reviews have noted, the pool and jacuzzi are not heated and the weather during our visit was unseasonably cool, so we didn’t use them. It was still gorgeous though!! The 7 bedrooms are all significantly different, but nicely decorated and clean, all equipped with (we think) queen sz beds. We are all good friends and opted to draw numbers to determine the order that people would choose their rooms. Only one is located off the common area. All the rest of them have exterior doors, opening directly to the veranda. Some of the bedrooms had closets, some had armoires, at least one had a hanging rod instead. Each room had it’s own bathroom. The smallest room has very little storage space but an amazing little outdoor area with a table and a spectacular view. We spent a lot of time outside at the big tables, soaking in that view!!! The buses to/from Amalfi are very inexpensive. One day the 6 guys walked to Amalfi. It took them a couple hours. The ladies got a ride. There is an outdoor market in Amalfi (currently) on Wednesday mornings. We LOVED it there in Conca dei Marini. It was so peaceful (during our visit in May) and the people were welcoming and pretty fabulous! We wanted to stay forever! If you go, be sure to get croissants and cappuccinos from Nino’s. Dinners there are excellent as well. On another night, you can take a right at the bottom of the steps and walk 5 or 10 minutes to another great restaurant, a little more upscale. There is a really nice little grocery store there too. About the steps up to the villa... oh my. Those are steps!! We noticed there aren’t many out of shape people there. It’s those steps!! The first night was tough, especially with all of our luggage. By the time we checked out, it really wasn’t bad at all. Three people in our group have had knee replacements. They did fine. You just have to go at your own pace. There are around 67 steps up - and down. No one in our party went all the way down to the beach. Maybe next time, because I will be going back! ;)
