Our stay here was amazing! We cried when leaving because we did not want it to end. Service and food were excellent, and Francesca, the manager, was wonderful. I will return on my next trip to the Amalfi Coast!

The staff here is extremely attentive and pleasant. They went above and beyond to make
sure our stay was comfortable.
The food is delicious. My personal opinion is that the food here was better than all the restaurants we tried in the Amalfi area.
Overall, this spot was amazing for all the available amenities and for the ability to just relax and chill.
Definitely would recommend this spot for anyone wanting to be in the Amalfi area

We loved staying at Villa Santa Maria!
Every single staff member was so helpful and always available.
The rooms were clean and the hotel was quiet and the private beach was amazing.
The free breakfast is great and they also offer dinner and lunch as well (you pay for of course.) the view when you’re eating is just gorgeous.
The reviews about stairs are true, but in the Amalfi coast, that is just how it is! The whole city is on a hill, so you can’t escape stairs no matter where you go, and the stairs really aren’t that bad at all.
This hotel is about a 8-10 minute drive to the Amalfi piazza and beach and 30 minutes to positano. We just rented a car and had no trouble with parking or getting around with the car when we stayed.
We would Defenitely stay here again(:

We loved our week here and would definitely return.
Thankyou

Our stay at Villa Santa Maria felt like we were in paradise! Prior to arriving Francesca messaged us on to confirm at what time we would be arriving and advised us on how to get to the villa. We always took the Bus to and from Amalfi. It was a quick 10min bus ride and only costs 1.50 euros each way. Otherwise, the Taxi’s are extremely expensive (we were quoted 50 euros to bring us to the Villa)
Upon our arrival a gentleman met us at the bus stop and carried our suitcases down the 185 steps to the Villa! There we were met by Francesca who offered us drinks and welcomed us. To our surprise, the room was already ready. We booked an ocean view superior room. The views were Breathtaking!!
The room was spacious, comfortable and very clean!
The beach/sauna/spa were all very fun to use and accessible. The ocean water was beautiful and warm.
The amenities at the Villa are beautiful and the food was also exceptionally good (Cesar salad YUM)! We were recommended to try Ciccio’s restaurant which is a short walk away and was delicious. Francesca helped us book as we were having trouble online.
We also realized we would be late to our booking for our car pickup in Salerno, and read online that some people had issues when they were late. Francesca called for us and explained in Italian that our Ferry would be arriving in Salerno later than expected.
We were extremely pleased with our stay and would definitely come back. Thank you Francesca for everything
Highly recommend!!

We had a wonderful 3 nights! Our room with a jacuzzi on our own deck was lovely and perfect all day. The walk to the swim deck was beautiful and sunning and swimming delightful. Most important the help from the staff/family was exceptional! They gave us help with dining and transportation and provided a delicious breakfast every morning. We had a relaxing wonderful time.

An absolute gem off the beaten path of Amalfi! Yes the stairs are killer-no doubt about it. There are about 180 stairs to get down to the hotel and then about 200 more to get down to the private beach. If accessibility isn’t an issue, don’t hesitate for one second to choose this villa hotel. The views are breathtaking from top to bottom. The little beach feels like a private serene escape. And of course the staff is friendly and accommodating. We were on our honeymoon and got upgraded to stay in their private jacuzzi suite making us feel like the only ones there. Francesca and Guiseppe were always there for us- arranging shuttle services, restaurant reservations, water taxis, a late-night snack and so on. They made us feel beyond attended to. Amalfi’s main square is in walkable distance from the hotel-about 40 mins at a slower pace. To get to Positano, they arranged a water taxi that picked us up from the hotels private beach. Overall, we had an unbelievable stay!

My husband and I recently stayed here for our babymoon and it was the best decision!
Staff & Service: Francesca, Angelo, Gerardo - everyone there treats you like family and wants to make sure you are happy and comfortable. Francesca went above and beyond to help us arrange transportation and navigate the surrounding towns.
Property: In many of the reviews, you are going to read that there are a lot of stairs. Yes - it's true however, I visited this property 7 months pregnant and the stairs didn't bother me one bit. The reality is, this property is a hidden gem tucked away into a cliff. The views are incredible and it's very quiet/peaceful. In addition to that, you have private access to the beautiful water and a private beach. To me, this was priceless and worth every stair in order to get to and from the water. Every morning, I couldn't wait to open up the windows from our room and to look out at the ocean. Additionally, the rooms are super spacious, clean, and accommodating.
Location: It is important to note that this hotel is a 5 minute drive to the city center of Amalfi. Francesca was amazing at arranging taxis into town but note that every trip into town is roughly $20-$30 euros each way. This is not any fault of Villa Santa Maria, this is just the going rate for taxis in Amalfi. The good news is, there are good restaurants near the hotel that are walking distance.
I wouldn't have stayed anywhere else, Villa SM was the highlight of our Amalfi vacation, 5-stars!

This was our honeymoon stay. We’ve booked a junior suite, Room 8, for almost a $1,000 per night. This place is clean and acceptable; however, it is not worth a $1,000 a night. We had to walk in the dark as the lights worked on a timer and you needed to press the button for the lights to turn on. We were unable to use the jacuzzi at night as there were a lot of noises coming from the bushes and night and the poor lighting made it very difficult to see what was around. As I said, we paid premium price for an average stay. The view is great tho. Just be prepared to make your own arrangements for parking and be prepared to walk so many stairs as this property is located at a lower level and you will need to walk down the stairs, and up, to go in and out.

Morning to evening staff Francesca was absolutely wonderful. Arranged drivers for us knew local restaurants and helped us from check in to check out. Night staff Angelo is an amazing cook and absolute sweetheart. Would return to this glorious resort in a heart beat.

Villa Santa Maria is an amazing property with amazing staff. From the minute we got there, the staff was attentive to our every need.
We were welcomed with a glass of wine, shown the amenities, and our bags were waiting in our room when we walked upstairs.
Francesca and her staff are beyond 5 stars.

Amazing host !! The breakfast spectacular
2.5
Fantastic vacation at Villa Santa Maria and wonderful hospitality by Franscesa. Clean but small rooms, which suited us perfect as we were enjoying the outdoors from morning to late evening. The dock and sun beds at the sea was amazing. We used water taxi to travel around the coast and could be picked up directly at the hotel. We also stayed many hours in the sun beds, enjoying the access to the Mediterranean. Highly recommended for couples traveling to enjoy Amalfi with surroundings.

Beautiful views. room was spacious, we did have issues adjusting the AC and the internet would not work in our room. breakfast was good. Warning to anyone visiting, there are a LOT of stairs to get to the villa. The staff are available to help with carrying luggage but beware the stairs. it isn't located in Almalfi, so you need a taxi/bus to get to and from, but their is a bus stop in front of the hotel.

This was an amazing stay for me and my husband! The place was absolutely beautiful, with a sauna, free breakfast overlooking the most amazing ocean view, huge rooms, and a quick little walk that takes you to three private locations on the water, with the last one leading you to a little private cove and beach you can swim to. Truly the best stay we have had in all of Italy. The service was 11/10, with Francesca, Angelo, Gerardo, and the other amazing staff who all made our stay perfect! We would recommend this place to everyone we know based on service alone!

My stay was one of a kind. Very special. Francesca and staff did an incredible job with helping us with transportation and making us feel at home. I would recommend this to anyone planning on visiting the coast. The views are surreal! I will be going back very soon.

We absolutely loved this villa. The staff was extremely helpful in every aspect. The views were unreal. The location was convenient as it was on the bus route, and water taxis were available to pick you up from the property. Francesca (property manager) assisted us with directions, tickets, reservations, and so much more. We will definitely be back to this property!

The hotel is beautiful the service is excellent, but you have almost a 150 steps to go in or out of the hotel.
Check in and check out you have to carry the luggage

This property is notable for its access to the ocean with lounge chairs near the water. Many partying boats were anchored right off our resort with people enjoying the water and sun. Very nice. Many many stairs but that is the price to get up and down the cliff. Otherwise a pretty basic property, with limited food options (although a nice breakfast) and standard rooms.
2.5
No words to describe this amazing hotel. I am a traveler and I can say that from 70 countries, this place is in my top 3 best hotel views ever. Super calm, the vibe and energy are just incredible! The owner, Ms Francesca is the sweetest owner I’ve ever met! It is a must if you are around the area! I can keep writing but no need. And yes, I read from other guests that there are many stairs.. it is true but what do you expect? Elevator in a cliff…? It is worth it.
2.5
Gorgeous stay tucked into the coastline. Be prepared for stairs down to the hotel and beach, but well worth the extra workout. The private beach area was empty every time we went for a morning swim and was breathtaking. Breakfast on the patio was a beautiful touch and start to the day.

A huge plus for the hotel staff called us in advance to see if we needed a driver to get from the train station to the villa! 5-star rating all-around! Staff assisted carrying our luggage from the street to the villa. While there were plenty of steps to get down to the villa, it was quite worth it -- great sea view, and a great secluded spot. We had a suite, and was just the right amount of what we needed: spacious bed for two, clean bathroom, patio, and entryway. Staff was on-the-spot to clean our suite DURING the complementary breakfast: they would be done cleaning in about 15-20 minutes. Location is about a 40 minute walk to Amalfi main area. Enjoy the views while walking!

Christina was an amazing host and so welcoming. Her staff is beyond accommodating and really make you feel cared about. This is beyond just a hotel. It feels more like a bed and breakfast as far as taking care of their guests. The location is stunning and private beach is a must. I highly recommend this place. Tip: plan out your transportation prior to visiting.... and don’t drive a car in amalfi! It’s quite the nightmare. Christina can help you figure out the bus or she has her own driver that will not rip you off like the local taxis do.

Our stay at this place was not terrible by any means. The staff was great, and the porter was excellent. There are Only two things that I didn't like about this place. The first is that there are way too many steps that you have to take to get to the resort. I counted 156 from the street to the reception desk. Over 300 additional steps from the reception desk to the water. Also the room wasn't what we expected from the pictures. It was right beside the check in area, and not as private as it seems from the pictures. I wouldn't stay here again personally, but don't let that take away from future business. It was a really nice resort, but just a hassle to get around.

Great hotel with great service.

The hotel was a great place to end our honeymoon. It was about a mile from the center of Amalfi, so away from all the action, but close enough to get to on a short bus/cab trip. It was secluded and quiet, great for relaxing. The concierge was extremely friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The private beach was nice to to have our own place to lay in the sun and get in the water away from the general public.

Lovely hotel but beware there are a lot of steps. If you're driving to it, parking is only on the road and you are in danger of having your car clipped.
