We loved our stay here! The shuttle was the most helpful part that brought you to either the beach or the city center, very easy to use. The staff was very helpful and accommodating! The view at breakfast was unreal and cave bar was such a cool place to have a drink in. I would def stay here again!

More like a 2.5 star hotel. It says a 4 star. You have to rely on shuttle service for everything if you leave. Very dated hotel. Beds were VERY uncomfortable. Great views. Staff was friendly as was the shuttle drivers. I get away to get off a schedule and had to book and plan everything by shuttle which was not always available at prime dinner times or prime day times. I would not recommend this hotel due to proximity to towns.

Views are the main event at this hotel but not too far behind is the helpful staff: friendly and knowledgeable and always willing to help. Amenities are great - my favorite the beach club. Shuttle takes you to the beach, they greet you, provide towels, you take two separate elevators down the cliff to the beach and subbed, umbrellas are ready for you. There’s also a bar and cafe on premises. The pool is incredible at the hotel and again the views from there are amazing. Overall 5-star experience.

The hotel is as described. Perched on a hillside with a stunning view of Amalfi coastline. The staff were very helpful and attentive. Well maintained property. FYI: ask for the free hotel shuttle from the ferry station when booking, be ready to pay €70-90 to get up the hill to the hotel.

Spectacular views of the Amalfi town from terrace in your room is one of the highlights of our stay in Amalfi .Free shuttle to town center is always on time. But the best was the impeccable service provided by the Argentinian trio of Martin, Florencia and Brenda. Always giving top notch service with a big smile. Definitely recommend staying in this hotel.

Staff was extremely helpful and understanding. Views were immaculate, room and bathroom were clean and nice. Only suggestion - read into the shuttle and book it for when you arrive to Amalfi, and reserve it and plan your ferry leaving ~60 minutes after you take the shuttle down (do this before you arrive). It's about a 40 minute walk down to sea-level and a grueling walk up if you're stupid like me and don't book the shuttle before you arrive, can't figure out a bus and were tight on time for my next attraction. Once you're at the hotel you'll feel settled because the staff has bus tickets, helpful advice on timelines and were just overall really helpful and kind.

Communication with the hotel was excellent. Always responded promptly. On arrival we were adviced to get the ferry from the Salerno station as an alternative to their private transfers. It was really easy to book and travel on the ferry, just ensure you have atleast 20 minutes between arriving to Salerno and the ferry departure timing. Staff at the hotel are very helpful. I want to especially give a shout out to Rebecca at reception, and Nicholas in the restaurant and also the shuttle drivers. We really loved the hotel but only had 2 nights there so did not use the swimming pool. It did look lovely but we never had time to swim. The breakfast had a good spread.

This is not the first time we have stayed there. This will be the second time. We're also going to be going back again in the near future. We've stayed in many places on the Amalfi coast and this one Works the best for us. You just can't beat the view!! It's situated perfectly! This hotel is located on the top of the mountain in Amafi. The hotel has shuttle busses from the bottom to the top that run approximately every half hour to 45 minutes. They also stop their own private beach included and they also have snacks and a bar on the water. The staff is accommodating and courteous at all times. The facility is clean and well taken care of. Their is a Custom Bio design lagoon style pool. Perfect For lounging around all day until you want to their own private beach beach. The beach and shuttles are included so you don't have to worry about paying for chairs on the beach club. They also have an amazing cave at the pool with a bar and lounge area to keep you cool on the hottest days. Almost forgot the breakfast was included in the stay witch was also great. Hands down probably the best hotel for the dollar on Amafi Coast. I'm sure you're gonna enjoy your stay. Frank and Donna
