Beautiful property with stunning views. The room was enormous with a hot tub on the patio. A little out of the way of the hustle and bustle but a lovely area
Would recommend getting the bus up and down to Amalfi

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.

We were very pleased and happy to have stayed at this beautiful hotel.
Ida and Gina's service was excellent, they are super nice, friendly, and provided us with valuable information that helped us throughout our stay.
We definitely recommend this beautiful hotel. The breakfast was delicious.
The ocean view, the pool, and the comfort of the rooms are excellent.

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.

Loved staying here away from the crowd
One of the most amazing stay of our hotel stay in Italy. It is the most perfect place to be at peace with nature. OMG the view of the Amalfi coast is breathtaking from the room balcony. Walking down to Amalfi through the lemon trees was an incredible experience. Aida at the reception was amazing hostess.

Pro: Beautiful view, wonderful staff, good room.
Con: frustrating at arrive at 9pm with no dedicated parking and needing to haul luggage up a large hill to the actual resort, with limited instruction. Limited food options within walking distance.

Hotel on the hill
Great spot lovely views. The staff are very friendly.
When you get to the Piazza there are a few steps up and you go to the left.
We walked down the stair way to Amalfi and the lemon experience.
Get the bus back as it's not too far to walk.

I loved this place, because from there you can appreciate the entire Amalfi’s panorama and the serene, quite, natural sounds in the mornings, and evenings; excellent way to start and finish each day. And the local pizzeria San Giovanni couple minutes walking distance from hotel excellent ambiance, service and best pizza I ever tasted! Also the personal, friendly treat of Lina (the manager of the hotel) very attentive and helpful!

We stayed only one night, lovely view and friendly helpful service. Overall great value, tasty cappuccino and simple breakfast. Hopped in the hot tub at night. I’d recommend arriving before nightfall ( uphill narrow roads ) also there was many stairs so I’d recommend something more accessible if you’re not mobile but was not an issue for us at all.

It was a very nice room. Breakfast was good. It was way up in the mountains far from Amalfi. Nothing around. We had dinner at the restaurant next to the hotel and and fish was very good. Very quiet hotel but far from everything.

The staff were so kind and helpful!
The facility itself is obviously quite new and in excellent condition. Room was outstanding - Incredible view and very large deck.
They had a thermal pool/hot tub that needed to have fresh water.
