The room was excellent. The entrance and sign (telling you that the reception is on the higher floor) should be improved for a smoother navigation in a very busy street. Salvatore and his brother, the host, were extremely kind and helpful. Ask them for good restaurants. Highly recommended. FYI, Please stay vigilant while walking in Naples city centre. Watch your mobile phone.

The location of the property is one of the main features. Right in the heart of Amalfi without having to climb any of the narrow staircase alleys.
The property is also very well maintained and clean.
The only thing we didn't like about our room is that there wasn't a window facing outside. So I'd enquire about it before booking.
