We chose this place as our center to visit different locations on the Amalfi coast and in the mountains and it was a perfect location for that. I loved Amalfi and Positano but could not imagine beeing hosted there because of the crouds. This hotel has also direct and wild access to the sea and has bathing areas and a small pool. We took the room with a bathtub and it was great. Also because it was the uppest room with a great view and access. To some of the rooms you have to take quite a lot of stairs. In my mind car is however needed to get here. My car has never had a better view as the parking lot (for free!) is on top of the cliff. And last but not least, we enjoyed the family run service, felt very welcomed. And the food + desserts was good.

Excellent location with sea access and parking

This hotel is beautiful with an amazing sea view. I have received the kindest attention there, people are so nice, mainly Luigi who is very nice and friendly.

This was my second stay in 18 months. Love this place. Both times I had smaller rooms, Jennifer and Claudia, which were totally charming. My friend was in Ingrid, which was a knockout with its view above the cove. Food is so good, you could dine there most days and not miss much. I love that it's slightly remote, lushly landscaped, and full of secret nooks. You can still catch the bus to Amalfi and Positano easily. I'm a travel writer and Locanda is one of my favorite hideouts in the the world. I'm a swimmer, so I love the cove—you can even swim to the fjord in around 10-15 minutes. Staff is lovely and warm.

The location is solitary, but close to SITA bus stop, so getting around is easy. We choose not to drive, you will see why. Hotel is at road level, and goes down to the sea, which makes for easier access than the locations up from the road. Very satisfying breakfast with nice variety of foods. Service was excellent, staff was very friendly and helpful

Amazing location, food, service. Went with my boyfriend and it was isolated and perfect for two athletic guys. Swam in the cove every day.

Location, staff are excellent. The views from the room is awesome. Away from the crowds between Positano and Amalfi. Free parking is a bonus as it is very expensive on the Amalfi coast. We had the studio that came with it’s own spa and private balcony wotprht the extra cost

The service, the views, and the food were the best.

Location was perfect View was perfect and real Amalfi hospitality

From the minute we stepped in, the folks at Locanda Del Fiordo made us feel so welcome! Our view was stupendous, the room was comfortable, and the food was delicious. So glad we stayed here out of the hustle and bustle of the more touristy cities!

The hotel view is to die for. You will immediately fall in love with the location. It is at quiet area between Positano and Amalfi, but it has its own restaurant and Luigi help us with renting vespa. This really make us easy to get around. Breakfast was great, big spread and they even offer to make us omelletes. You can go down the hotel and swim from the platform straight into the sea. Very friendly staff and overall we are happy with our stay Bonus free parking

Excellent location. Although is a little dated luckily location makes up for it. Breakfast is limited but again can’t beat the view with coffee and a croissant! Make sure have lots of cash with you. If not taking a bus, taxis cost a fortune and they will charge you extra when checking out for tax if you pay by card!! Great visit and glad seen the Amalfi coast now.

Like the rock in the walls. Not very up to date. Some smell/

This place is beautiful - the hotel is literally built inside the cliff. What made our stay so pleasant was the warm and friendly atmosphere created by staff! Luigi, the owner turned this beautiful villa to hotel/restaurant. He is very accommodating to make sure you have a great time. The breakfast was so delicious. All the ingredients were fresh from his garden above the hotel. The view from our room was stunning, as well as the view on the walk down the cliff to the sea. I highly recommend this place and will return.

Fantastic staff, personal and caring.

Amazing hotel with fantastic staff. This location has to be the best on the coast. The food was right up there with the very best of all our holiday. Thank you Luigi and staff. We will be back again

Excellent swimming. This is the reason to stay here. We never went to the beaches on the coast. Also, the location near Praiano,and roughly equidistant between Positano and Amalfi, made exploring these towns very managable. The local bus stops at the hotel. However, the place needs a good clean. Some fixtures and furniture should be replaced, as they were rusty, heavily worn or broken from years of seaside climate and guest use. Our room had mosquitos smashed all over the walls from past guests. The shower was a little moldy. The grounds of the hotel were in so-so condition. There was sometimes unpleasant odours from the pipes wafting through public areas.The food is fine. Not amazing, not bad. Simple and homestyle.Overall, a great location and prime swimming, but be prepared that the property isn’t spotless.

The staff was wonderful! The food was so fantastic, and people came from all around to eat at the restaurant. We loved the rooms and the view! Nothing like it!

The staff at this hotel was so nice and helpful! a delicious breakfast every morning and they were there to help with any question we had. Luigi tried his best to find us a boat tour of Capri at the last minute but they were all booked. However, they then helped us rent a boat of our own for the day and we were able to tour not only Capri, but also the rest of the Amalfi Coast at our own pace. The Luigi gave us a ride to the boat rental. I think we made out better! I will say that our room for three was a little bit tight but we only used it for showering and sleeping so not a problem. I think they were redoing a part of the hotel so maybe the rooms were more limited. The bus does really stop at the front door and the hotel staff will help you figure out how to manage your bus trips. Luigi II (there is two of them) even said he would come pick us up if we had a problem. Be prepared... A bus trip along the Amalfi Coast is like no other. My stomach was up in my throat a few times. And be prepared for steps. Coming from a relatively flat state, the amount of steps on the coast was new to us and had us breathing heavy a few times. But if you follow the steps down at this hotel, you will find yourself on a lovely platform that is carved into the rocks where you can sunbathe or jump off and swim. A definite gem!

Nice hotel near the sea. Amazing views all around. Most friendly and helpful staff you can find, Luigi, Ana and everyone else.

Great staff-wonderful private terraces and great breakfasts in the morning! I would not hesitate to stay here again!

This is an awesome setting. The hotel is built into the cliff and each room has its own terrace area for sitting and watching the sun, sea and boats go by. There are steps down to the sea from which, if you fancy, you can have a swim though in late September I admit we passed on this option! The owner and his staff are friendly, accommodating and happy to help. In terms of food, the hotel has an extremely popular restaurant and is frequented by loads of Italians so it is good! There is even parking which on the busy main road is an achievement. The hotel has a guy who will park your car in the tightest of spots: watching him at his work is entertainment in itself. We found a few lovely places close by to wander to: there is a small port about 2 k away where there is a great restaurant/ bar called La Pirata.

This was the best hotel that I have stayed in the all my life, the rooms are beatiful, the view is breathtaking, the food is awesome and the staf is attentive, kind and very helpful to accommodate your needs and make great recommendations of what to visit in the area. If I return to the Amalfi coast I would defenetly come back to the Locanda del Fiordo without a doubt. Thank you Luigi and everybody for a magical stay!!!!

The staff is very friendly. The hotel is built into a cliff and views are amazing. There is a near by swimming hole that is stunning.

The stay started off amazing. The owner and staff are super friendly. They offered us a welcome drink right away (prosecco for the wife, Peroni for myself). The view from the entry and restaurant deck was unparalleled, deep blue Mediterranean water, houses and hotels built onto the cliff sides, etc. Dinner that night at the hotel restaurant was delicious. The raw seafood salad was tasty, and my pasta was perfect al dente. Breakfast was inlcuded, and the staff will make you any type of espresso coffee or omelette you want (don't forget to ask for an omelette)! You start your day off sipping coffee on the deck looking out over the gorgeous view. There are several decks just steps down from the rooms, right down into the Sea itself if you fancy a swim! Water is deep blue and warm. Location is perfect, right in between Positano and the town of Amalfi, so it was a short drive in our little rental Opel to the best spots on the southern Amalfi coast. The only downside of this hotel was that the room was a bit outdated and the bed was not comfortable (that's the only reason I give 4 stars instead of 5). We also booked the very last room available at the very last minute, so we probably got the smallest and oldest room. The other rooms could be much better, no idea. With a bit of money to renovate the rooms and upgrade the beds and linens, this place would easily be the best in Amalfi!! That being said, we would definitely go back, no question.

Beautiful Family run hotel on the Amalfi Coast of Italy. Steps down to the Mediteranean where you can swim. Mid level deck for sun bathing. Beautiful views. Fair to good resturant. Bathrooms in need of a little repair.

Hotel is situated on a cliff and the view from our room was amazing! There are a lot of steps, to and from the room and ocean but all worth it. The waves were very choppy so we did not get into the water but we did sunbathe and got in the hot tub in our room. The rooms are clean and the staff is very attentive. The hotel has a restaurant at which we ate dinner all of the 3 nights we were there. The food is great! We didn't feel the need to go elsewhere, their seafood is fresh, delicious and fairly priced. They also provide parking, which is very difficult to find in that location. We left our car parked there the entire trip and used the bus that runs all through the Amalfi coast for about 3 euro on-way to go to the main town. We loved it there and will definitely return next year. The only reason I did not rate a 5 on room comfort was because the water pipes or something to do with the plumbing was very noisy during the night. It is probably because of the location and something to do with the water pressure but it did not last long, woke us up but we were able to go back to bed. Like I said, no big deal. My family and I will come back.

Absolutely a gorgeous location, on the sea cliff with breathtaking views. The owners and the waiters are extremely kind and helpful; we arrived late at night, nevertheless they prepared a deliciuos dinner for us. Yap, Italia food is superb here! The only problem is with the rooms, a few of them don't have a proper window, however they all have a sea view balcony. We wish to be thare again, in winter, when stormy waves shake the cliff.

This quiet and romantic villa was just what we were looking for. Off the beaten path but bus stop is literally at villa entrance. Restaurant on site is amazing as well as several more withing walking distance. Owner, Luigi goes out of his way to accomadate any and all needs. The view is spectacular as it looks over the sea with brilliant blue waters beneath you. Bus tickets as well as private transport is available. Positano and Amalfi are just a few minutes bus ride away if you are interested in nightlife or other activities. As with many Italian accomodations, bathrooms are small but adequate. The bed is extremely firm and room is relatively small but very clean. We would highly recommend!
