Our family of four (two teenagers 16 and 13) recently spent two wonderful weeks at the lovely Villa Flora - spacious, comfortable, well-equipped and furnished to a high standard with the most beautiful panoramic views. Efficient WiFi and air conditioning much appreciated during our stay. Ideally located only 10 minutes stroll into the town centre for shops, restaurants, bank, pharmacy, cafes, bakeries and the most wonderful gelateria. Only 5/10 minutes walk down steps to the beach/marina. A daily dose of walking up steps to road and down steps to beach but all valuable to offset all the wonderful local food we had eaten! No need to hire a car as an easy walk to train station to access Sorrento in 20 minutes (hub for ferries/hydrofoil to Amalfi, Positano, Capri, Ischia, Naples) -as well as the ancient ruins at Pompeii and Ercolano. The local buses are very good too. Airport transfer available by bus (Curreri Viaggi), train (Circumvesuviana) or private transfer (we booked Vittorio at Sorrento Star Cars). Wonderful restaurants nearby. Flora and Claudio were very kind hosts, wanting to ensure we had all that we needed. They provide a wealth of local information at the villa including guidebooks, timetables, etc though we did also check online to ensure we had up to date ferry and train times. We would not hesitate to stay again and very much look forward to it! Thank you Claudio and Flora!
Our family spent 4 wonderful nights in this lovely villa. We loved the tile flooring, well appointed kitchen and spacious rooms. The owners, Flora and Claudio, were very friendly and easy to work with. The terrace looks over the sea with gorgeous views of the sea. It is a short walk to a nice beach and the town center.Vico Equense is approximately 30 minutes from Naples airport and close to Pompeii, Herculaneum, and the gorgeous Amalfi coast. The town is quaint and not at all touristy. We definetly recommend this home as it is beautiful and close to everything.

We stayed at Villa Flora with our 3 teenaged children from Friday 25 July to Friday 8th August. I cannot recommend it highly enough- the villa was spacious, comfortable and well equipped, and with the most amazing views from its terrace, where you get a fantastic view of Vesuvius! Vico itself is a friendly, charming place to stay with everything you need and lots of great places to eat, and the villa is just a 5 minute walk from the town and beach. Claudio was a charming and helpful host who clearly loves this property and treats all guests really well. We would love to come back!
We stayed at Villa Flora from 25 July to 8 August 2014, and had a wonderful time. Claudio was really kind when we arrived later than planned and was really helpful. The villa is really stunning with the most fantastic views from its spacious balcony. The property itself is spacious, comfortable and really well equipped in addition to being a short walk into the town and down to a beach. The town itself has everything you need and is so friendly - a welcome break from the more tourist locations such as Sorrento and Positano. All in all it was the perfect location for us and our 3 teenagers, with great trips and plenty of relaxation both in the villa and on the beach. Also, Claudio gave us a really good parking tip on our final journey into Naples, which we really appreciated! We would love to come back sometime and can't recommend it highly enough! Thank you, Claudio and Flora!

My family and I visited Vico Equense in May, and we absolutely loved the place and the people here. When we came to the house Claudio showed us around. We traveled with a 1-year-old baby and were happy to find that Claudio and Flora had provided us with a crib and a baby chair. We visited Sorrento, Naples, Amalfi and Vesuv. After dinner we usually sat on the terrace with the beautiful view of the Seiano and spend some quality time together. The kitchen is well equipped, so one evening we decided to stay in and make dinner at the house. We would absolutely recommend Villa Flora to all future visitors of Vico Equense.
Thank you for your warm hospitality, Claudio and Flora.
All the best form Norway!

Villa Flora is a charming, secluded, relaxing place to visit, with top rate facilities and a welcoming, helpful host.
Vico Equense offers a glimpse of Italian life away from the main tourist trail, but close enough to access and enjoy the attractions of Pompeii, Herculaneum, Vesuvius, Naples, and Sorrento for day trips. The train station is a ten minute walk and all of the above can be easily reached within an hour. Take the bus from Sorrento to Positano for a stunning view of the Amalfi coast.
Alternatively you can walk for 200 yards from Villa Flora to a small beach and harbour with great restaurants.
With so much to visit, Villa Flora's terrace is the perfect place to relax over a long breakfast or watching the sun go down.
Claudio is the perfect host, offerring clear directions, a warm welcome, advice about the region and a helpful hand to book taxis. He obviously takes great pleasure in visitors enjoying Villa Flora and the area. Our first trip to Italy and the Bay of Naples will not be our last!
