Residence Zelzar

Had a wonderful stay at the Zelzar Residence. The view is immaculate from the room overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and Coastline! The room was clean and secure. The staff provided excellent check-in procedures. Parking can be challenging with the narrow roads and limited access. Strongly encourage to contact the staff for most up-to-date details. Great view from the local café that provides the breakfast. Just a short walk up the road. Highly recommend this stay!!

Residence zelzar is perfect if you want to experience amalfi coast with less tourists. The town is very cute with lots of ceramic shops and excellent food. The room was well equipped and clean and the management communication was excellent. We had a wonderful time here. Very high up on the hill but easy to drive down with a car or catch the bus. Don’t underestimate the cafe bar royal where we had a free coffee and croissant every morning! Excellent pastries and very friendly.

I would highly recommend Hotel Zelzar for the budget traveler looking to unplug with beautiful views of the Amalfi. Have WhatsApp downloaded so you can communicate with the property manager, who is extremely helpful and nice. The hotel is located in Benicasa, a slightly remote village accessible only by private car, taxi, or regular bus (the 1 line or the 69, the former which runs every hour at 815; 915, etc and will take you all the way to Salerno centro). There is no grocery store nearby and only the Bar Royal, staffed by friendly bar tenders and a host of regulars outside. The room itself is very nice with a spectacular view. The hardest part was transportation to and from Benincasa without a private car. It is ~20 minute bus ride to Vietre Sul Mar, where you can take another bus (the 63) to the Vietre Marina where you can then take ferries to other parts of the Amalfi coast. I still wouldn’t recommend a car; the village is remote and the road is a single lane shared by traffic in two directions. However, once you’re in your clean, air conditioned room, it’s so nice to unplug and take in the country side and ocean views. There is a wonderful restaraunt called La Limonetta that has some of the best food we tasted that is 1km away within walking distance. Again, couldn’t recommend the hotel more for the budget traveler looking to unplug from the craziness of the Amalfi Coast towns.

Wonderful stay in Vietri sur Mare!!! Went for a dip in the pool, large room with amenities
