Palazzo Suriano has been one of the most amazing places we've stayed in. Getting here: I strongly recommend asking the hotel to schedule a driver for you. It is a little costly, but you'll want a driver who is familiar with getting to the entrance to avoid a steep cobblestone walk from the road. Please be warned that this place isn't easily accessible for those who find it difficult to climb stairs or uphill cobblestone. It takes about 5 minutes to reach the small city below, but may prove difficult to walk back up for those who have problems walking. The rooms and decor are the epitome of a rustic Italian dream. The staff is extremely friendly, the property is breathlessly beautiful, and the small close by city is amazing. This place is perfect for those who don't want to be absolutely surrounded by tourists, but would still like the choice of travelling to Almalfi by boat (30-45 minutes) or by car (1 hour). The beach is within 5-10 minutes walking distance, and a discount for beach chairs and an umbrella was given at the California Beach company since we were staying at the Palazzo Surriano. There are several places nearby to eat (pizzerias, trattorias, gelaterias, and of course fish restaurants). If you want to leave the city, I recommend asking the staff to schedule a driver to visit another area, or in arranging a ride to the nearby marina to hop on a ferry or a tour. Palazzo has a table covered with different activities to do during your stay.

WE like the unique/different things in life, for example, money permitting we're not creatures of habit who like too stay at a generic hotel chain over and over wherever we visit. The point is that Palazzo Suriano is one of those hotels which is unique in many ways, you can see the attention to detail throughout the property. We especially loved the breakfast, much of that on offer was either made by a local, or/and came from the garden, if it didn't come from the local garden, there was a feeling it came from local as opposed to a local supermarket. The view from the balcony really made the room, overlooking the sea; if we didn't have this view, the stay wouldn't have been as memorable. Other things of note, location was good, far away from the really busy places, but not too far. Not sure how good it would be without a car. Getting to the property from the road above can be a bit of a hike depending on the entrance you choose. The hosts were amazing, the most attentive we have ever encountered.

We stayed for 3 nights at the Palazzo Suriano during early Dec. Although it is off-season and we were the only guests in the hotel, Paolo and stuff opened it just for us and gave us full attention and service. The hotel is very unique and interesting. A mix of authenticity and state of the art facility. The ocean view is exceptional and breath-taking. The room was extremely comfortable, wide and clean. Breakfast was delicious and rich. Highly recommended!

This building was built in the 17th century and was incredible to see. The property was truly amazing gardens. Beautiful view of the sea. Awesome breakfast included many homemade items and was delicious. We were upgraded from a garden view to a sea view room with a balcony at no charge which was lovely. The mattress was very hard... could use updating for comfort. Otherwise lovely!

The staff, especially Paulo went above and beyond during our stay. I would highly recommend.

Palazzo Suriano is an absolute gem and we are very happy we stayed there during our recent vacation. Everything about this place is amazing - the gardens, the views, the rooms etc. Also, the owners and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Once we return to Amalfi Coast, we would probably stay again at Palazzo Suriano, this is how much we loved it. If you would like to stay in a quiet, elegant and totally relaxing place - Palazzo Suriano would be a great choice. If you travel by car, there is a garage as well, so you do not have to worry about parking, which can be quite an issue on the Amalfi Coast.

Lovely small hotel in a 19th century palazzo, carefully restored decor, beautiful gardens, lovely staff and the owners Paulo and Carlo are absolutely charming, helpful and friendly. Thoroughly recommended.

Lovely, conveniently located and really charming ! Amazing views, full of unexpected delightful old-world palazzo style architectural and interior design items, owners go out of their way to help ! Breakfast is a visual feast as well as a real spread, in room tea-coffee, just about 50 steps from beach, many restaurants as well as Amalfi Coast Bust stops are just a few minutes walk We had a wonderful time here and I have recommended this already to many friends !

Our overall impression was one of excellence in all areas we did however raise one concern during our stay the comfort of the bed it was far to hard and caused us to have a couple of disturbed nights. The owner informed us that he has plans to replace the mattresses this would make the experience out of this world. So what was the experience an e mail prior to the visit offering any help and assistance in including collection and advise on parking. The hotel is approached via a small road from the cliff road I was unable to use this as I have a large car. However we parked in the beach car par and were meet by Paulo- what a gem. The hotel is fantastic with marble stairs,terrace and library. The room itself was great good air con and very nicely appointed. I have mentioned the only draw back the bed!. The room we had shared a patio and had a great view. Outside there were several terraced areas with seating absolutely great. Change the beds back in a heartbeat.

Palazzo Suriano is a beautiful, clean, comfortable place to stay. It is run by Paolo and Carlo, who take personal responsibility for making their customers as comfortable as possible. Nothing is too much trouble for them. When our hire car broke down as soon as we arrived, Paolo made numerous calls to the hire company to speak to them in Italian on our behalf. When the hire company failed to deliver a replacement car, Paolo took us all the way back to Naples to pick up the car. Whilst we were without a car, Carlo drove us to Salerno so that we could take a ferry trip, and so that we could still get around. Paolo has a vast knowledge of the local sites of archaeological and historical interest, and is able to recommend and advise as and when needed. The hotel has beautiful quiet gardens where you can sit and read with a bottle of wine (as we did!!), and an impressive library of books in both Italian and English. The breakfasts are beautiful, and 'all you can eat', and can be taken on the balcony overlooking the Bay of Naples, the sea sparking in the early morning sunshine. The 300 year-old frescos on the library ceiling are also well worth a look. This is a beautiful place to stay, in idyllic surroundings and we cannot recommend this hotel highly enough!

A beautiful relaxing historical venue suited to couples.
