Beautiful place! And the staff kept it so clean. It is a ways from the main area but we learned on the second day there is a bus stop 5 mins from there that is very easy to take back and forth. The breakfast is always very yummy- and we loved the coffee. Can’t recommend enough and can’t wait to one day come back

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 staff was amazing! Very nice and always had smiles on their faces. There are stairs and hills getting to this property and that part is ny foot as cars cannot get up to the reservation area. We managed, but I wished that I packed lighter. Also, you want to get the bus app and use that to get into Amalfi. Taxis are too unpredictable and very expensive.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great hospitality, disappointed in hotel

Let me start this review by saying we were very excited for this visit, but was slightly disappointed. It seems like a lot of the things that were visually portrayed on their photos were not provided during our visit. They are currently under construction, which I think should be stated During booking. The front desk gentleman, frances was an absolute dream and helping us with everything we needed, which made the disappointment. Much better. When booking our hotel, it stated standard room online with balcony with a view, but we ended up with a standard room with a patio. I think that they’re online photos and explanation need to be adjusted So no one else would have this issue. The rooms were an amazing size and very large and comfortable. Breakfast was nothing special, but available. The location was absolutely only 10 minutes from the Amalfi city, but has a very long and curvy road. My children got sick once during the drive so just just be sure if you have anyone who gets carsick to be careful.
