This was one of our favorite hotels we ever stayed in. The property is absolutely stunning with an incredible view of Amalfi and is a serene escapt from the noise of the town. We specifically loved the gorgeous stone-bottomed pool looking over the ocean and the amazing grottini pool bar. The resort’s private beach club is also fantastic— it has an elevator to take you all the way from the cliff to the beach unlike most beach clubs in the area, and is incredibly private and serene. The shuttle service was imepccable with on-time departures every single time, safe drivers, and easy booking (this service saved us literally hundreds of dollars in what otherwise would have had to have been taxis). Lastly, every single member of the staff was phenomenal- kind, accomodating of our very little italian, helpful, and professional at every turn. We will absolutely be staying here again!
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!
An Unforgettable Stay with Unmatched Views and Impeccable Service!We had an absolutely incredible stay at this hotel and cannot recommend it enough.From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. The room itself was amazing, but the real highlight was the huge private side terrace. Having an ocean view of that scale is on a completely different level—it genuinely took our breath away every single day. Even the smaller details were spot on, including a shower with fantastic water pressure, which is always a huge plus.Getting around was incredibly easy thanks to the hotel's transfer service to Amalfi. It was exceptionally efficient, always punctual, and took all the stress out of traveling back and forth.Dining here was another major highlight. Breakfast offered a good selection, but it’s the backdrop that truly makes it special—eating any meal with that incomparable view is an experience we won't forget. We also decided to have dinner at the hotel one evening, and it was a wonderful surprise. The quality of the food was excellent, and the service was top-notch.If you are looking for spectacular views, great food, and seamless service, look no further! We can't wait to come back.
Beautiful room with incredible views throughout the hotel. Shuttle was easy to navigate and the beach was wonderful to have access to. Highly recommend
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.

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.
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.
We absolutely loved our stay here! We were a little nervous after seeing a few recent reviews but do not listen to them. Our stay was incredible. The views are unbelievable no matter what room you’re in. The shuttle service was extremely easy to use and so helpful. Everything was very clean. Loved all the staff, we’ll absolutely be back!
Great staff, wonderful hotel, only downside was it’s seemed like the pool was leaking so they were constantly refilling it making the pool water very cold.
Best view in Amalfi! Staff were all very friendly, included breakfast had lots of delicious options. Shuttle bus goes into town every 30 minutes, call in advance to coordinate a pickup and save yourself 70 euro on a taxi upon arrival. Restaurant had good food and good service, room service a bit overpriced, +20 euro on top of cost. Limited minibar in the hotel room but sufficient.

My daughter and I, we both stayed at this beautiful hotel for 9 nights, but I never once was able to swim in that beautiful pool because I had my two cousins meet us in Italy ( two beautiful young girls 19 years old -that but they staying at a villa near the hotel), because they were not guests at the hotel I asked the manager if my cousins can join us at the pool one day at least , the manager said NO, we can not have an outsider join us, and because we wanted to spend time with them we did not go to the pool alone without them… the pool was literally empty … empty every day … very few people at the pool… my cousins both have great Instagram accounts… we could have posted pic at the pool and advertise for the hotel… but they were so mean that they preferred to have an empty poll … it was pathetic , sad… the atmosphere was very quiet nothing , absolutely NOTHING entertaining…. It is a hotel for old - elderly people that just want to sleep and rest … if you need a quiet place to rest - this is ok nothing else … Refrigerator in the room very small and very weak - not good … Breakfast was not great also … Coffee was very good , thank god we st least had good coffee… the view was amazing, absolutely phenomenal… the ladies that were cleaning the rooms also amazing , very clean very friendly

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.
Outstanding views. Very quiet and restful. Very attentive service. Helpful and pleasant staff. Shuttle service worked well both ways.
Breakfast buffet was decent… their coffee was excellent!
Cleaning was thorough.. the place actually sparkled. We would definitely recommend this property to friends.
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.
