I have never left a negative review for any business in my life. This is my first. The attitude of the manager here is atrocious and low quality. First off the hotel location is well situated and the view of positano from here is beautiful. The hotel has a lot of potential to be a great hotel. But it starts at the front desk. First off, the manager asked where we were going for dinner which we said La Strada which is the restaurant ten feet across the street. He said the hotels food was much better then La Strada and La Strada has no view. (La Strada has a beautiful view as well on the top terrace just not down below on the bottom). The food and service at La Strada was amazing! When someone slashes their neighbors business, that is very low quality. That was the first negative interaction. The second negative interaction was requesting beach towels. The manager made it a big deal like we were requesting something very big. Never once did he mention that the beach towels cost money to rent. We then requested a second set on the second day because we forgot to dry the first set during the night. Again on the second time, he never mentioned they cost money to rent. Upon checkout of course they say we owe money for renting the beach towels. I said no one told me this and that I didn't want to pay it because I was not informed. The manager spoke in a very rude, forceful and not professional way and forced us to pay. Very disappointing.

Our room was quite basic, but it was clean and bright and everything - lights, lamps, AC, faucets, toilet, bidet, shower, wi-fi - worked! The balcony was spacious and had a fabulous view of the sea, Positano (the best view of Positano is from Hotel Smeraldo!), Li Galli, the Sorrento Peninsula, and the edge of Capri. Pasquale, Raffaele, Giorgio, and all the staff were helpful and friendly. The location is great for walking to restaurants, up to the convent and the Path of the Gods, or down to the beach.

Wonderful hotel in the middle of the Amalfi Coast without the crowds. The owner and staff are always on site and very attentive to their guests. The hotel is very clean and comfortable with a daily meals served on the veranda overlooking the beautiful coastline and hills surrounding the area. Be aware that parking is very limited and there is no exercise facility. I want to also recognize GEORGIO our primary host who was super friendly and attended to our every need. My wife became ill during our stay, GEORGIO found us a local doctor who came to the hotel! Quality abounds at this hotel.

We absolutely loved our stay at Hotsl Smeraldo. From the moment we walked in we felt taken care of. To bringing in our luggage, parking our car, and automatically providing a reservation at the best table in the restaurant, the staff were amazing. The views from the restaurant and rooms cannot be beat! Located on the main road made accessing the hotel so easy, and it was a short stroll to the shops and additional restaurants and cafes. We are already planning a return trip!

We had a relaxing stay at Hotel Smeraldo in Praiano. There were good food options at a short walking distance. We drove to the hotel and the staff parked the car for us and retrieved it as well during check out. The hotel was at a convenient place for our boat tour at the La Gavitella restaurant which was a short walk away from the hotel. The room it self was very adequate and couldn't ask for more.
