    Nothing, of course if you rent in the mountain don't expect good connection by bus. Bus is 2-3 times per day. Taxi ca. 15 to 16 Euro.

    Awesome stay, good food, friendly staff, stunning location, everything is very clean!

    They offer daily breakfast but every day is the same so after 2 days you get enough of the same food.

    The location is wonderful if you have your own car..it is all surrounded by nature...parking is secure.our rooms all had a balcony with beautiful views. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

    Beautiful landscape! Perfect and clean pool. If you go to see those busy places in Amalfi area, and want to recover, this place in good option to stay and relax. Nice food at the restaurant (recommend dinner witch nice bottle of Rose). Amazingly friendly and helpful staff, even offer to drive as to train station. From there its fast and easy to reach Vesuvio, Pompei, Naples, or Sorento and all Amalfi region.

    Probably the only negative is the drive up. It’s pretty steep and winding, especially in a big car like ours.

    The view from the balconies was stunning. The pool area and the restaurant were excellent but what made it really special was the staff. They were all exceptionally friendly and helpful. 10 out of 10

    First of all, I want to mention that this is our first vacation of this kind, on the Amalfi Coast. Everything was more than perfect and we were more than impressed. The complex is located at the foot of the mountains and gives you the feeling that you are in an old Italian movie like The Godfather and you are left speechless. The complex has 2 swimming pools and a huge garden on several levels. The location is more than perfect! The staff, wow! It's the first time we meet people we could call "our family". So generous and good at heart that you are shocked because it is something very rare! The food is more than excellent and we recommend using the hotel's "private transport" to their restaurant which overlooks the city of Naples and Cava de' Tirreni. The rooms are big, spacious! This location is perfect for families with children, but also for couples. These people, these friends, this family is the result of Italian kindness and hospitality and we are impatient to come back next year! Alex, Florian and Suzana Tone

    The location is stunning, amazing view. Staff is super nice and helpful. Rooms are clean and tidy. One thinng to keep in mind: there are no walkable routes nearby. The roads are narrow and used for vehicles. Need to keep in mind in case if you plan do walks or jogging as part of your stay

    It is a popular venue as it is beautiful, and we wanted to relax and escape people, but there where two parties during our stay and a lot of people. When we got out to our car the next day the guest from the party had turned off cigarettes on our car and put the cigarette buds/trash on our car, it could be nice to separate parking spots for hotel guest and party guest to avoid this. It would be more relaxing if there where some soundproof doors or just some carpet on the tile steps of the stairs (so noisy when people walk with flip flops). The road to the hotel is a bit tricky.

    This place was a beautiful hotel, with two swimming pools, one big one and a more secluded one in an olive garden - beautiful! I have to give many compliments to the staff, everyone was so professional and very kind. Especially a guy (perhaps the owner) he was so attentive and could see what we were missing before we noticed it. And really nice breakfast and dinner! The room had an incredible view towards the mountains and the city (as the hotel was on top of a mountain) and we saw such beautiful thunderstorms both nights.

    More of Party/Reception Venue with “Lively” audience

    • Submitted from a mobile device

    It seemed to function more as the local “party/reception” venue - maybe we were so lucky enough to catch those parties on Sun and on Mon. However, we were not advised from its management during the booking stage that we may have to expect quite loud noise from its dining halls as well as the outdoor pool area, not to mention lack of parking spot. Also, our room was right above its kitchen area, creating a full of food smell coming through our windows while we wanted to have some fresh mountain scent. Rooms are quite out-dated but functions fine, except for the door knobs and hinges require some maintenance. Please notify your booking guests in case they need to experience any “event” organized to be held until 2am, Tuesday. :)

    In brief, the hotel/villa is located on “top” of the mountain and you need to drive up till the end of the road, more or less. Therefore, it provides you with very good quality of breeze and air, as ling as there goes no outdoor event at this accommodation. The staffs, especially the main female receptionist, were superbly attentive and welcoming, which was the BEST part of our two-night staying here.

    Fine but nothing exciting and better locations and hotels for cheaper price.

    The most expensive hotel we stayed in out of 13 hotels in Italy, including the Amalfi coast! Can't understand why this hotel is so expensive as it was also the most dated, very old fashioned decor and far up a mountain with nothing in walking distance (we knew in advance) but price definitely not justified. Rated 4 star but in the UK would be a 3 start at very best. Certainly not a 4 star hotel.

    Cleanliness great. Large rooms. Comfortable bed.
