Villa Carmela

Villa Carmela is situated in a very beautiful spot in Conca dei Marini; just facing the sea, with large airy terrasses. The appartment was clean, pretty and calm, good privacy also. Pool area is nice, 'in the nature'. We were kindly received and very flexibly since we needed to change our arrival time. We got a lot of help from the host with breakfast, advice and even bus tickets, also with the transport as our flights changed to a nightly one so it was really appreciated by us.

There is road going by from which some noise arises but one gets used to it. Wifi does not function that well due to mountains I suppose but that is somehow good also. One can walk to the small beach and to the bus stop but it would have been worthwhile to have a car since all the services are far. We moved by bus though.

perfect location! amazing view! nice swimming pool! kind and helpful host!

beds not comfortable for 5 adults bathroom not hygienic with a shower curtain second bathroom not comfortable

We were met by Sarah who went through everything from keys to local amenities. She kindly gave us a lift to the local supermarket and supported promptly with any queries we had during our stay. The view from the Villa is stunning and the pool is very clean and well kept.

The info on booking.com is misleading re the pool. It talks about units and private pool, but does not specify "shared pool". This, however, was not a problem as most of the time we had the area to ourselves and at other times all guests were very respectful of each other. The ants and gnats are a bit of a problem, but you are given ant powder and make sure you take your 'jungle spray'......the beautiful outdoors is definitely worth it!

Serafina is a wonderful host

the host and the rep Serefina was just awesome as well as Edda the owner

nothing

Serafina was our hostess. She came to property to let us in and explain facilities. She also helped with a broken screen, grocery shopping options, and the aftermath of a thunderstorm that damaged the area. Views were spectacular! Local busses stopped at Grotto Smeraldo, so no car needed. We connected to Positano and Amalfi easily on busses. We discovered the boccci court on the hillside, under a grape arbor--wonderful for family games.

Pull down screens were hard to see and caused accidents in the doorways, especially at dusk. We loved the elevator to street level, especially with luggage. While Grotto Smeraldo was a short walk, traffic was harrowing along the road. In very hot evenings, some of the smaller rooms lacked air circulation; only one of three units had air conditioning. When showers splashed water, the tile floors were hazardous--mats would help.
