8.8/10 Excellent! (1,004 reviews)
This is an elegant, old-world hotel and is beautifully maintained. The staff were very gracious and helpful. The room was large with high ceilings, an elegant bathroom and a small balcony opening out to the bay. There was a hot water kettle with packs of coffee and a mini-fridge. The rooftop bar/restaurant was a lovely spot for a drink at sunset. The waterfront area directly in front of the hotel is great for walking, and is being refinished very attractively with gray paving stones. It is a 10-12 minute walk along the waterfront to Molo Beverello port for ferries to Capri, Amalfi, etc.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (489 reviews)
Staff was wonderful and the apartment, hotel, and beach club was incredible. WAAY better than the chaos of the towns (although we loved Minori, it was quieter and the best!). Free breakfast was great but the dinner restaurant felt a bit overpriced and the food was just average)
