Villa Orleans

Wow! We chose Villa Orleans based on the reviews and it did not disappoint! Gerardo was fantastic from start to finish. Met us at the ferry port so we didn’t have to struggle with our cases up the hill. Provided reasonably priced bus tickets and clear instructions on how to get around. Always had suggestions for things to do, with leaflets on the attractions plus bus and ferry timetables on hand to help make the most of our stay. Went above and beyond any expectations, even bringing a special sweet bun for our daughter every morning. The breakfast was great with an awesome sea view and wide range of food prepared by Gerardo and Guiseppe. The villa itself is a little way out of town so it’s a walk down the hill and bus journey back. This is definitely part of its charm though as it’s away from all the hustle and bustle of central Amalfi. You also get to see a lot more of the residential areas on the walk into town. Situated half way up the mountain side, the property is stunning, has lot’s of secluded areas so you would never struggle to find a quiet spot for a bit of sunbathing or evening drinks. The room was very modern, nice shutters and shower. Our only minor suggestions would be to add a few towel hooks, some drawers and a lamp for some low level lighting. Villa Orleans is an exceptional place, you just cannot get enough of the sea view, so relaxing. We will most certainly be back.

The owner, Gerardo, and his family were extremely friendly and personable. They helped us with the parking, took us to town so we could go to dinner, gave us advice on what to see in the area and made a wonderful breakfast for us each day. The room was very clean. We had an outstanding stay.

Our stay was fantastic. Geraldo and the staff at villa Orleans are incredible and kind. We drove to Villa Orleans and Geraldo was waiting on the side of the main road to great us. He showed us where everything was and the best ways to get around. We arrived later in the evening and he offered to take me to the nearby grocery store to get some food. The property is beautiful and diverse. We spent a day in Amalfi and a day just relaxing at the villa. Even with the rain we had it was still comfy and enjoyable stay.

Wonderful service, room and breakfast. The views are gorgeous. The steps are a killer so make sure you are up for that!

Geraldo was very helpful, informative and made the whole experience in Amalfi easy as it was our first time. Breakfast was delicious.

Easy to get to from the port. Great communication. Bus stop right outside the front door. Beach access across the street. Beautiful view.

Gerardo and staff went above and beyond to make our stay in Amalfi magnificent! They met us down the stairs once we arrived and helped carry all our baggage up (he made it look way too easy as my husband and I were huffing and puffing along the way!). The room was absolutely magnificent, the shower was heaven and we had our own private patio/balcony (I believe all the rooms have this). Gerardo gave us a couple different rides into town (once to catch a boat to Postano and the other to catch the bus to the airport). It was so appreciated! He also arranged for a scooter drop off at the Villas which was so easy! Although riding a scooter is not for the faint of heart in Amalfi! It’s also situated right in front of the bus stop that takes you into town (beware, if the bus is full it will not stop, so don’t rely on it if you have a certain time you need to be in town) You can also walk into town, although you do have to scale hundreds of stairs to get to the main road to walk. Takes about 25-30 minutes or so. Definitely do your research regarding transportation as cabs are outrageously expensive! They also made you fresh breakfast every morning! They were the kindest people and truly do anything you need/ask for! I highly recommend this place to anyone who travels to Amalfi! Gerardo, we can’t thank you enough for making our honeymoon as special as it could be! We will absolutely be back!

We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Orleans. Gerardo was very welcoming and could not have been more helpful. Our room was very comfortable with a beautiful view from the private terrace. A delicious breakfast was prepared each morning and the bus into town stops directly in front of the hotel. All in all, a wonderful stay!

It's more like a bed and breakfast, this was a nice property. Its a short bus ride into town and the staff is sometimes available to drop you off at near by locations. The location has lots of stairs so if you are unable to walk up lots of stairs it may not work for you.

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.
