“Grand Hotel Excelsior Hotel”
First thing to say; Amazing view from Hotel down to the harbour and pebble beach, possibly best location of this price range. All the staff are lovely and very polite, very professional and friendly, and most if not all staff are fluent in all European languages. We only booked half board, but I know that all the food in the hotel is amazing. I can't complain, and I eat in good restaurants in London! Given the location, I think we saw a lot more than those in the bay area. Basically, there are hotels in the bay area, and hotels up the mountain as it were. If you want a *fuller* experience, you should try the Excelsior as they are located 15 mins bus journey up the mountain side, you see more, you are located Nr. a small village-like-place called Pogerola which allows for a more Provincial experience if you like! There is also a nice walk down to Amalfi, which goes right through the Lemon groves all the way down. The only thing I would be wary of is if you're renting a vehicle DRIVE CAREFULLY!!!!!!!!! Italian drivers have somewhat carefree driving style! Bus to the beach is only 7-8 mins, also, you have to pay for the beach chairs and parasol. A little cheeky, but you get used to paying over the odds for most things on the Coast. Make sure you take plenty of euros!!
