My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms had some issues like old decor and maintenance issues but offered a stunning view of the sea. The service was generally good but had some lapses in attention to detail. The location was ideal for enjoying the views but had limitations in terms of accessibility. The dining experience was exceptional with a variety of options and beautiful sea views.

The hotel rooms were huge with high ceilings, large bathrooms, and a large balcony, making it a great size for a young family. The views of the ocean were lovely, but the breakfast selection and quality were disappointing. Despite that, the al a carte option provided some good choices that we enjoyed, although we had expected more variety.

I felt like I was transported back to the 1930s with the perfect room featuring a large balcony and a claw foot bath that added to the enjoyment of our stay. The sea view from the room was unbeatable, making it very spacious and overlooking the sea, truly spectacular. However, walking was not an option for me due to its high location above Amalfi, although the efficient shuttle service down to Amalfi Town was a great perk.

The hotel's location up above Amalfi meant quiet nights away from the noisy main road. The view was truly spectacular, but walking uphill wasn't viable for me. The proximity to proper hot and tasty food in Pogerola, just a 10-minute walk up the hill, made dining convenient.

I was truly touched by the incredible sea view from the room's patio, watching the sunrise and sunset. The hotel's location on the Amalfi coast is breathtaking, but those with vertigo should be cautious. The service was excellent, although the misinformation about Capri was a downside. The dining experience, while simple, left room for improvement. Overall, a luxurious experience with some room for enhancement.

I felt like royalty in a room with a big balcony and an unbeatable sea view, although some basic amenities were missing. The service, especially from Maria, was super helpful, but it slightly detracted from an otherwise wonderful stay. The marvelous location with breathtaking views made me forget about any walking inconveniences, even though the shuttle service had limited hours. The dining experience, while not perfect, offered a standard buffet selection. Overall, a luxurious experience with a few minor drawbacks.
