We loved our stay here so much that we extended it by a day! The staff here are just absolutely amazing, kind, accommodating, and just wonderful to chat with. The views were amazing and just a fantastic environment to be in. One thing that we would like to note is that the dinner is a little pricey for the portion size that you receive opposed to the other restaurants that are found in the same cove. Breakfast that was included was perfect and we also had pizza for lunch which was yummy as well. It would be also nice that the chairs on the beach were included with a guests hotel stay versus having the guests pay extra for one. Having the beach right there is the lure of why we chose this hotel oppose to others, so that was a little disappointing.

Well what a shame! We had such high hopes but the owners of this place and their absolute arrogance destroyed the dream entirely. The location is absolutely superb, every other bar and restaurant overflowing with authenticity and warmth so our trip was saved by their hospitality. The owners of the hotel sit like lords eating and grazing all day with absolutely no regard to the people supporting their business with not a word of hello, goodbye or enjoy. The rest of the staff are obviously miserable in a way I’ve never seen in Italy, usually it’s a joy to see the workers enjoying a meal together however it was quite clear this was not extended to them here. Assuming it’s fully booked with or without effort makes them a lazy host and we’d will be returning to Praiano but will stay at La Conchiglia next door, a small family business whose warmth and kindness abounds like the lemon groves surrounding. The little bar and restaurant next door is sublime and always full speaking volumes to the empty tables at Alfonso. Watch out, your arrogance may well be your downfall.

I had really high hopes for this place. Positive- employee at check in during our stay was really nice and helpful. She gave us information for the Sita and information for the area which was so appreciated. The rooms were nice and clean. Negative- the beach chairs here were more than what you pay for at L’Incanto in Positano. The hotel restaurant staff that we encountered was not friendly. We ended up eating at Trattoria Da Armandino. Overall, I think this area is better for older crowd, would highly suggest going into city of Praiano, and eating at Che Bonita, best pizza and friendly staff.

We had an amazing time here! The staff were lovely and they were kind enough to upgrade our room! The area around the hotel has a few restaurants. It’s a great place to stay for a few nights and the breakfast was fabulous.

Great hotel not easy to get to and from

Gorgeous location between two giant rocks on a small beach with clear water. Staff are very helpful & friendly. Room was spacious.

My stay was wonderful. The property was great and staff were very friendly. The only draw back for me, was when I booked a shuttle service through the hotel for my next destination I was quoted 130 Euro. When I arrive at my destination the driver insisted that it is in fact 180 Euro. I was really disappointed to have ended my trip that way.

Room was clean & a fabulous location. Sun beds overpriced. Restaurants surrounding hotel also good. VIP BENEFITS not offered. Receptionist was very aloof & rude. But apart from that we enjoyed our stay.

Adorable setting, memorable experience with the incredible staff! Loved it, stop here and soak up life.

The location is the most unique aspect of this property. To be clear, the beach is not private to guests of this hotel, it is shared with the public and other hotels in the area. While it's beautiful, it is pretty crowded for a small beach, and there is tons of boat traffic. Our room was sufficient, with a great view, however it was pretty dirty, they did clean it again after we asked, but it was a bit disappointing. Staff was perfectly "nice" but they wouldn't go out of their way for us. They never even asked us how are stay was.

Our stay was very unpleasant. We checked in at 1:45 and were told that our room was not ready, we had to wait at the beach. We were were not clearly told that part of the beach was not for hotel guest, we had to sit on the rocks with our bags. When I used the restroom that was next to the restaurant it was dirty and smelled. That was the reason we did not eat there. Room was very dated, old and did not smell well. Bed was very hard and there was no blanket on it. AIR CONDITIONER DID NOT WORK. We requested a manager to take a look at it, she pressed few buttons and it worked for about 10 minutes, and shut off. Room was very hot, by the time we were ready to go to bed, no one was at the front desk to help us. We did not sleep at all. Breakfast was brought to our room the night before as we had to leave early. Stale bread, ONE egg and box of Corn Flakes. I will leave it at that! Beach was nice, but small, barely any room to sit down. Overall horrible stay!.

Quiet, secluded. Great restaurants in area WiFi did not work in room

The hotel is a no frills establishment. The rooms are basic and clean with a mini fridge but not stocked. There is no room service. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The food served at the hotel is on par with the other restaurants around. However I did notice that the guests weren't hurried and stayed open longer than the other restaurants. It has to be the best located hotel as it's right on the beach and no need to walk up and down a million stairs to get to the beach. You basically walk from your hotel onto the beach. There is a jetty where you can take water taxes to elsewhere on the Amalfi coast. I would suggest that they get a golf cart to take guests up to the main road to get taxis elsewhere

Our trip was amazing! We loved room 7 with a balcony and view of the ocean and grotto. When the noise from the cafes and visitors got a little loud, we closed the beautiful doors and the AC workes beautifully! Our favorite trip so far. Steps to the beach, wonderful restaurants and hearty breakfast with a beautiful view.

A great little hotel, right on the small breach of Praiano. The room was clean and large.

The location is excellent as most of the Amalfi coast is too crowded. This little bay of Praia is right next to Praiano (easy walking distance or ample parking if using car) but it is not so crowded; and it is so picturesque with protected swimming. The staff was very helpful and welcoming; most of our contact was with Sophia and she was wonderful. The room was older but very comfortable and spacious; everything worked and we had a beautiful view of the bay. There are a number of great restaurants right there and others in easy walking distance. Breakfasts at Alfonso were delicious with a balanced variety and excellent service. We especially loved the restaurant next to our hotel, Donna Clelia Bar Mare: delicious food and the best service (owner, Salvatore, made us so welcome).
