The view, the view, the view! The large terrace alone is reason to stay at this hotel. Also, because of its location up in the mountain, the hotel accommodated for this - free daily shuttle bus service to and from the city centre (and the beach), and restaurants, internet available at the hotel.

Excellent hotel located on the mountain side providing magnificent views over the amalfi coast. Amalfi town is reached in 10 minutes by the hotel shuttle service (free) or by SITA bus (2.4 € one way). The Hotel has a private beach (costs 10 € to visit) - the beach is very nice, but it's recommended to wear shoes/sandals in the water because the pebbles can be uncomfortable when bare-footed.

The view from the balcony. Pool size - Mouldy smell in the corridors. - No Safety box in the room. - Old towels. - Dry bakery goods at breakfast buffet.

The view was very good. I was looking forward to seeing the sunset over the water but this was not the case - it set over the mountains to the right.

Incredible location with an unbelievable view. Very helpful front desk staff when asked for trips or travel arrangements. excellent food at the Tato restaurant. The original room that was assigned to us was musty smelling and needed serious updating. We complained and were given a lovely room. This proves the old adage, the squeaky wheel gets the grease!

Staff extremely friendly and helpful in a very relaxed way. Although the hotel was quite a way out of Amalfi, or rather above it, there was a free and a frequent bus laid on by the hotel taking you both to the beach and Amalfi so you didn't have to take the car out. Views of Amalfi and coast breathtaking from the hotel. We had a garden suite which had great facilities and a garden terrace with fantastic views. Absolutely nothing.
