We stayed here during our trip driving the Amalfi coast. Villa Ariele provided a relaxing and picturesque two night stay where we could access all the places we wished to visit during our trip to the Amalfi region.
Although we did not meet the owners of the property they kept in touch via WhatsApp to ensure we had reached the villa ok and that everything was to our satisfaction. On our arrival we were greeted by Raffi, the gardener/maintenance guy (we think). He didn’t speak much English but this made it more authentically Italian! he showed us to our room and it was great! beautiful mountaintop views of the sea down to Sorrento. The room had great facilities. Great shower, TV, AC, hairdryer.
The breakfast was great, an individually set up table with pastries and continental breakfast items available for you to help yourself to in the kitchen, a fully stocked fridge, coffee machine and juicer. All available in the airy kitchen/diner area. There is a pool area with plenty of sun loungers if you needed a relaxing day at the villa, as we wanted to see and do as much as we could we did not use the pool, although it did look very clean and seemed to be heated constantly.
As we had a car this place was great for us, secure remote opening parking in front of the villa with 24 hour access. 20 minutes down into Sorrento and around 1 hour to Amalfi. Great spot for those with a car. We are unsure how much a taxi would be, and we didn’t explore anything within walking distance.
