About this property

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.

Amazing property to stay !
My family enjoyed our stay at Villa Elena on a trip to the Amalfi Coast. We had high expectations looking at the photos on the web, actually arriving at the villa easily exceeded them! The villa is spacious and the variety of rooms, all with private bathrooms, air conditioning and great wifi, are so fun to explore. The terrace overlooking Capri, the garden, the pool, the ocean view, you will have to see it in person to really experience it. Marica is our host, she offers hospitality second to none. Highly recommended!

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 !

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

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.

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!

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.

Fantastica giornata
Abbiamo trascorso un soggiorno fantastico presso Villa Elena. La villa è molto bella e pulita, le camere da letto bellissime, ognuna aveva il proprio bagno. L'area della piscina e il terrazzo all'aperto con vista sui faraglioni di Capri è strepitosa. Marica è stata un host incredibile: ci ha accolto presso la villa, ci ha mostrato le camere e ci ha aiutato con gli spostamenti e noleggiare una barca per Capri. Consigliamo vivamente questa villa.

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!!

Great Villa with stunning view, pool and perfect hostess support
We (2 German families, all adult) really enjoyed our 2 weeks at Villa Elena. The Villa offers a stunning view over the sea, has a pool to relax and cool down, a big terrace for dining inc barbecue and all rooms offer onsuite bathrooms. We used the Villa as a basis for activities such as boating, and tours to Capri, Pompeji, Vesuv, Positano, Ravello etc. Our hostess Giulia did a fantastic job with providing recommendations, making reservations at restaurants and organizing everything for us we asked for. She is always reachable for help and a nice person. The landlord Marica and Giuseppe provided good upfront information about the Villa and potential activities. All in all a very nice vacation.

Villa con vista sui faraglioni di Capri
Abbiamo adorato il nostro soggiorno in questa splendida villa da cui si vedono i faraglioni di Capri !!! Le foto non mostrano la reale bellezza della villa che è fornita di tutto ciò che occorre. E’ in realtà una specie di piccolo hotel, ogni camera è indipendente dotata di bagno privato per garantire la massima privacy. Il supermercato è a 5 minuti a piedi, ristorante, pizzeria e macellaio solo a due passi. Dalla vicina fermata del bus è possibile raggiungere Amalfi in circa 20 minuti. Siamo rimasti molto soddisfatti della nostra decisione di affittare questa villa e non vediamo l’ora di ritornare.

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.
