Reviews and Ratings
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.
The hotel perched on the cliff above Amalfi offers spectacular views and tranquility. The rooms were spacious and accommodating, but lacked luxury and convenience. The service was friendly and helpful, although they provided inaccurate information. The location was ideal for us, with efficient shuttle service, and the dining experience, while good, lacked variety. The facilities were standard, offering what we needed.
The hotel felt like stepping back in time, with a charming but dated decor. The rooms were spacious with lovely balconies and views, though showing signs of wear and tear. The service was dedicated and friendly, offering a range of helpful amenities. The location, high above Amalfi, provided a peaceful retreat away from the noise. The dining experience was satisfactory with a continental buffet selection.
The hotel offers rooms with large balconies and superb views, although some lack amenities like a coffee machine and basic toiletries. The location is breathtaking, but a bit out of town. The dining experience is good, especially with hot and cold selections, and could be improved for longer stays. The facilities are convenient for travelers.
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 offers clean and comfortable rooms with a small balcony but lacks some usual amenities. The service is friendly, although the staff attire could be more comfortable. Located high above Amalfi, it provides breathtaking views but is far from main attractions. The dining experience is pleasant with a good buffet selection. Price is reasonable for the value provided.
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.
The hotel is set high on the cliffs above Amalfi, offering fabulous views, albeit in need of some updates. The rooms, though dated, are of reasonable size and feature double doors opening to a patio with breathtaking views. The main entrance and rooms may show signs of age but are saved by the mesmerizing scenery that made our stay memorable.
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.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic overall. The room with a patio overlooking the coast was spacious and comfortable, although lacking some usual amenities like a coffee machine and basic toiletries. It was a bit far out for my mom, who has walking difficulties. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, especially Maria who always had a smile. The location was amazing with a spectacular view and peaceful surroundings. The dining experience was average, with mostly British fare and standard continental options. The hotel had some great facilities.
