About the host
Hosted by Alessio
Nigel and Dawn Carley’s love affair with Italy began long before it became home. In fact, Nigel began visiting Northern Italy over 40 years ago during his long and successful career with Italian car manufacturer Alfa Romeo.
Although, ultimately, it was the beguiling charm of Southern Italy that ended up capturing their hearts. The British couple exchanged wedding vows in a private chapel of the Belmonte family in Santa Maria di Castellabate, located along the mesmerising Cilento coast, reaffirming the beginning of their Italian dream.
The couple are now firm ambassadors to the local area since their initial visit upon setting off from the UK in search of their ‘forever’ home. Stopping in Campania on the advice of a friend, they woke up, throwing open the shutters of the agriturismo where they were staying, and were instantly mesmerised by the beauty of this Italian jewel.
Why they chose this property
Campania encapsulates all that Italy offers – in one region: mountains, valleys, rivers, beautiful coastlines, and of course the food, along with some of the friendliest and most generous people you are likely to meet.
What makes this property unique
It's all in a name....Velius is latin for 'hidden" and Villa Velius offers a vacation of privacy with breathtaking views across the valley to he Amalfi Coastline
