Words cannot describe how much we enjoyed our stay at Hotel Cetus. The hotel is stunning with gorgeous views of the Amalfi Coast- it was breathtaking. The room was comfortable and clean. Every meal we had, breakfast especially, was delicious. Every staff member was so kind, extremely professional and always exceptional service. Cetara is a perfect seaside town with none of the crowds of other large towns along the coast. The food was delicious and people were so kind. I already cannot wait to go back!

The hotel was wonderful. Sea views and private beach were amazing. The breakfast each day were excellent and staff very accommodating and polite. The only caution is the lack of shuttle throughout the day to Cetera for lunch/dinner or ferry access. Paid drivers at $3 per person added up for a multi-day stay.

This was a phenomenal stay. You can walk to the town of Cetara to eat, or hop on the ferry to anywhere else in Amalfi. There is a beautiful private beach and the staff was extremely accommodating. It’s close to everything but without the business of the city. Highly recommend.

Great find

This hotel was an incredible find on the Amalfi coast. Far away from the usual tourist areas yet close enough to an authentic Italian village. The hotel was in an incredible location on the side of a mountain overlooking the sea. The staff was friendly and helpful. The whole hotel restaurant was incredible. Highly recommended.
