A very fresh and bright room with an amazing view. The room was super clean and had an excellent kitchen area too. Breakfast was continental buffet style with some cooked eggs as an option - delicious pastries & coffee. Can’t fault this hotel although access from Amalfi town was tough late afternoon with not enough buses and little concept of queuing! Taxi was extortionate although in part due to fees the drivers have to pay each time to enter the town. Council should do better.

This place is awesome. Quiet and beautiful. Lots of cute cats hanging around. It's a lot of stairs to get to Amalfi -- so be prepared and in decent shape (or make arrangements to get to town). Great resort.

The hotel had a beautiful view of Amalfi! It was very serene and the pool, though small, was well-done. The walk to Amalfi was 25 minutes all downhill. We took the bus back close to town (10 minute walk to hotel). Note there are many steps you will have to walk up to reach the hotel which may be challenging for elderly or people with small children. Internet did not function well so not ideal for telework. We have visited the area many times and this was a nice change of pace. We’d visit again.

As a person who stays in 10+ hotels per year, this place ranks near the top. It’s a beautiful hotel with incredible views. The pool area is quiet and relaxing. The rooms are clean, comfortable and modern. The complimentary breakfast is delicious with fresh fruit, cheeses and pastries. The customer service is top notch with the English speaking owners/front desk agents genuinely caring about each and every guest. Highly recommend this place.

Nice room, very tasteful. Good breakfast. Friendly staff. However, getting to the hotel is a challenge. Taxi is 70 eu one way each time. Bus is difficult to catch and limits you mobility significantly.
