The listing said the hotel was accessible by foot from Almafi however the path to get there was pitch black and halfway through the 1.5 hr walk the path had been closed off. I felt unsafe and exhausted. We never made it there and they refused to even provide a partial refund. I’m sure it’s beautiful but don’t stay here if you want to spend time in Amalfi.

The staff was amazing! Very nice and always had smiles on their faces. There are stairs and hills getting to this property and that part is ny foot as cars cannot get up to the reservation area. We managed, but I wished that I packed lighter. Also, you want to get the bus app and use that to get into Amalfi. Taxis are too unpredictable and very expensive.

Beautiful place! And the staff kept it so clean. It is a ways from the main area but we learned on the second day there is a bus stop 5 mins from there that is very easy to take back and forth. The breakfast is always very yummy- and we loved the coffee. Can’t recommend enough and can’t wait to one day come back

A very fresh and bright room with an amazing view. The room was super clean and had an excellent kitchen area too. Breakfast was continental buffet style with some cooked eggs as an option - delicious pastries & coffee. Can’t fault this hotel although access from Amalfi town was tough late afternoon with not enough buses and little concept of queuing! Taxi was extortionate although in part due to fees the drivers have to pay each time to enter the town. Council should do better.

This place is awesome. Quiet and beautiful. Lots of cute cats hanging around. It's a lot of stairs to get to Amalfi -- so be prepared and in decent shape (or make arrangements to get to town). Great resort.

The hotel had a beautiful view of Amalfi! It was very serene and the pool, though small, was well-done. The walk to Amalfi was 25 minutes all downhill. We took the bus back close to town (10 minute walk to hotel). Note there are many steps you will have to walk up to reach the hotel which may be challenging for elderly or people with small children. Internet did not function well so not ideal for telework. We have visited the area many times and this was a nice change of pace. We’d visit again.
