The pictures posted are very professionally done, possibly some years ago. The hotel is dated but decent. Breakfast was good and was the most pleasing part of it. The towels are sundried, which means not the softest. It is located on a small hill facing the autostrader and the ocean. Rooms are either facing the autostrader with a terrace & ocean or the hillside. Do not miss the Sanctuary of San Francesco di Paola which is about 20 min drive, worth visiting!

A Great Hidden Gem

Hotel Piccolo Mondo is perfect for the solo traveler or family. It is near the water but has a pool if you don't feel like walking to the water's edge. There is a nice terrace for sitting in the sun (or shade) and the food is wonderful and typical of the region. The rooms are a nice size, including the bathroom, and the staff is kind and helpful. The only bad part about my stay was leaving! Don't hesitate to book a room here!

Amalfi Coast trip

The hotel would be comparable to say-a Motel 6 in the US. The lady who owns the hotel was extremely nice and speaks some English. The breakfast (included in the price) was excellent. The total price was incredibly low: About $35.00. This was the best DEAL- all in all- of any hotel I have ever stayed in Europe. Let me emphasize: This hotel is marginal but with the food and the price- a good deal.

Directly overlooks the Mediterranean Sea.

Stayed there also in 2007 for 3 weeks and 2 weeks this time. Friends born and raised in Italy, live almost directly 20 miles inland from hotel. Dinners were excellent and the owner and his family are delightful. They were attentive to our needs and suggest places to see..

Good service

We stayed at this hotel for one night on our way south to Sicily. The room was basic but adequate (although no fridge), but clean. We chose to have dinner at the hotel. Our three-course meal was delicious, reasonably priced, and we had far too much food - you will not go hungry! I recommend eating in!

We came for 1 night and stayed there 5 days!

Its a nice hotel like alot of others, but the people who work there makes it special! We where abit off season and our meaning was to stay there for 1 night and then drive further south. But my wife and i agreed after just 3-4 hours there that we wouldnt be able to find a better hotel in Italy, the service here was fantastic!

Hotel - Piccolo Mondo - Aquapessa, Italy

The service in the hotel and the food in their restaurant was superb. They do not have Wi-fi internet even though they advertise it but they do have a computer in the lobby people can use. The outside furniture needed a good cleaning but the room was clean and cleaned daily. Convenient to beach but not right on beach. Very affordable, I recommend.

As before (this is our third time)

As before (this is our third time) we are very happy. It is always very friendly. The front-desk is multilingual most of the time (just not overnight for the late arrival - it has a 24hr desk), which is good as we English do not know Italian!! Location is very good on this coast - directly off the main SS18; we drive here. Price is always good - but you won't see it on the website for August (or some of July) as it is often booked by locals. For those months you need to ring directly - do this weekday, daytime for English! The menu is limited, but this is not a restaurant; it is a hotel geared up for the residents. There is always a food option for everyone. We will always reccomend it here.
