Please do not stay there if you want a relaxing holiday. Bugs all over the place, no pillows, no shuttle service, you have to walk uphill to get to the hotel. They charge you extra if you want to change towels. When u shower the water ends up flooding the floor. They don’t clean your room ever, if you want to get it cleaned you have to pay extra. There is no staff on the property whatsoever, so if you have any problem you’re on your own. There is no way to call the front desk either, there is a phone but it does not work. On top of that they charged us DOUBLE for the stay, and I have to deal with this now, not sure if they will return the money, this people don’t care about any of your concerns apparently

Good points: Clean, comfortable, spacious apartment in quiet location, with kitchen, balcony and sun deck. Walking distance from semi-private cove and local resort, with good choice of restaurants, supermarkets, bars, gelato, beach, boat trips, etc. Effective air-conditioning and good showers. Bad points: ‘Outdoor pool’ is a COLD-water jacuzzi. Gets tepid by end of day from sun if you’re lucky. Parking inconvenient (either pay 20 Euro per night and wait for your car to be driven several km by staff, find paid parking in town and walk up the hill to the apartment or negotiate a space at restaurant opposite). Semi-private cove below apartment is full of litter and mainly pebbles, with some black sand. Steps down to cove fairly overgrown and messy. Local cat makes itself at home - may affect anyone with allergy. Overall: Good value and a fairly pleasant base from which to explore the Amalfi coastline.

This acomodition is fraud- room without seeview, jakuzzi not work. Breakfest is not included. Small beech is only 5x5m ..

Have to say accommodation was better than we were expecting. Of course though as Amalfi coast the stairs and heavy luggage were a bit of an issue, next time we will travel more lightly. Would be nice if area going down to beach was cleaned up some, but assume that area is accessible to more that just these residences. We had a great stay

This place was not up to par whatsoever, however it was an ok (questionable “ok”) price given the location and time of year. In the very last apartment down the stairs so was a hike to get back up and into the town(, but I had expected this from other reviews). Room was not cleaned during our stay and we were 3. It was somewhat strange as we did see the cleaner at other apartments. No towel replacement. No shower curtain so it looked like a tsunami hit even if you had taken a 2 minute shower. Ants everywhere, however they were everywhere in general during our time there and I know they can be difficult to control. Pillows were as flat as pancakes. One upside was the view. Definitely would not have thought it was worth it if it wasn’t in the Amalfi Coast

I spent six very relaxing nights at the Dolce Vita residence, and really can't recommend highly enough. The apartments are modern and well maintained, it's in a very peaceful location just outside Maiori and if you're looking for somewhere that offers some independence and tranquility but a short walk from bars restaurants shops and what not then the Dolce Vita is for you. Things to know: 1 the rooms aren't cleaned daily but will be pristine when you arrive with enough towels etc for your stay. 2. it is a short walk (5-10 minutes) from Maiori to the residence, and largely uphill but is easily doable, at night one small section of the road is quite dark but I wouldn't let that put you off 3. the kitchen area is small but the stove and fridge are pristine and there are enough utensils and crockery for you to look after yourself quite easily comma tip take a corkscrew though that's the one thing that was missing! 4. there isn't a reception desk on site so I think for the most part check-in has to be done at the Regina Palace hotel in Maiori; if you're arriving by car I'd recommend popping in there or at least contacting the residence before you travel to make sure that you are in the right place (you wouldn't want to have to walk with your cases and back especially if it was either bad weather or very warm and sunny.) Once you have your key card be aware you don't have to put the key in the actual door or press the handle but just swipe it over the pad next to the door

Too far to check in at maiori, bed not comfortable.

Very clean, very good view. The description was fairly accurate, I booked a "two bedroom" place, but it ended up being a 1 bedroom with a sofa bed in the main room. We knew we would have to walk on the road and up some stairs, but it wasn't really that bad. Check-in was annoying because they don't give you any help getting to the place or even offer a shuttle (we were willing to pay). Overall it is a great value for the price. All they would have to do for 5 stars is simplify the check-in experience and not lie about the bedrooms

Amazing view and serene environment. Secluded beach.

Very bad experience. The apartment is beautiful and has lots of light and airflow, but the issues outweigh the few good things. It is very clean, but don’t leave your food out due to ants. If you have a car, don’t come here at all because parking is an issue. It is insanely expensive all around and you’re not allowed to park in many spots. You can park with “some guy” who is associated with the property for €12/night, but you may not see your car again for a very long time. This guy doesn’t answer his phone so you have to call the hotel to contact him, and they will say he will be there in ten minutes. He might be there in fifteen minutes if you’re lucky; the second time we waited for an hour in the heat on the side of the highway. The only other way to get out is to walk along a tiny, windy highway to the town, quite dangerous if you’re older (or for anyone really) because the traffic drives fast and the buses are huge. There are a lot of stairs, which are not an option for people with mobility issues. We had to help my mother up and down the steps so it took a long time each way. To get down to the beach was impossible for her. Completely ruined the experience of being on the amalfi coast. The wifi is below average and my cell service was too spotty to use, so connection to the outside world was a bit limited. There was no water, coffee, tea, paper towels, or iron provided.Our view was of the bushes, not the beach/ocean. Overall bad experience.

Attractive modern apartment we had No 5 with very large balcony and stunning views of sea below. Only downfall 96 steps but it was worth it soon got used to it. Would highly recommend and certainly would stay again. Check in at the hotel was quick and easy and receptionist very friendly.

This review is not about Italy, but about the hotel Dolce Vita Residence. It looks good, but it's not for you, if you expect a relaxing and enjoying hotel service.1. The address on Expedia, where you must arrive to, is not the actual place to reside. We came there at 9 pm on Saturday, nobody was inside. We checked in the lobby of Reginna Palace hotel located in the same building. You can enter from another side – bright and alive. We have no idea, why this address (that is easier to find and is not that shockingly dark) wasn't given.2. Do not let your taxi go! As we said you would reside in another place that is in about 4000-5000 feet along the seashore, and you can get there by a curvy and narrow road shared with cars, scooters and buses (the locals call it "la strada mamma mia"). It's not that fun to walk without a sidewalk with suitcases in the dark. Add an 8-floor narrow and steep stairway leading to your apartment that you need to climb every time you want something to eat.3. The beach on the pictures is not yours. Only a tiny piece (no umbrellas no chairs) belongs to Dolce Vita. One umbrella costs 15 euros to rent. No beach towels.4. The apartment is OK, but ours had a broken shower. We claimed it, but nobody came to fix it. And nobody came to clean up. We needed to pay for fresh towels to the hotel staff. The internet is bad and there's no cellular signal.5. Keep out of using Stamtours. They will definitely make a "small" mistake that would cost you money.

too many steps to get to the beach, grounds around the residence very poorly maintained, parking situation very poor, beautiful apartments, great view, great staff, very good for a young family in good shape

First looks and also feels amazing: - the big terraces - the sunny jacuzzi area & beds around it - the view; mountains, seaview and sounds of the waves but, there are some limitations... - the beautiful small beach below is 90% owned/used by a nearby hotel with all the sunbeds and umbrellas. You can not even pay for or rent them :(( - if you plan to use your (own or rented) car, be prepared that you can not park at the apartment :(( - so you rather leave your car at the city (Maiori), or the hotel will take your car and will carge you 12 euro every day for that, in which case you have to call them every time when you want to use it. And then wait between 15-45 minutes to get your car. Unfortunatelly there is no mobile phone connection at the bay area so you also have to walk 5 minutes to able to call them... :( - if you want to walk back to the city (Maiori) for shopping, eating or to swim at the larger beach, you have to walk (with your family) 15 minutes on a very narrow road, where buses and cars are driving only 10 cm near you... :( - the beautiful and narrow road curves also means that every bus will push the horn every time in every curves. Quite disturbing when you want to read or relax on your beautiful terrace... :(

The apartment was lovely, clean and had everything we needed the only downside was the service and the smell of sewage outside the apartment! Despite complaining about aircon that didn't work for the first two nights (due to a it being on a thermostat setting with no instructions/manual) and the strong smell of sewage, nothing was done to address/help with either of those issues by the reception staff at the hotel. The apartment and location were good, no issues with the check-in at the hotel and the walk into the centre along the road was fine. It was just let down by the service.

The Apartment is out of town slightly but just of one of the windy Amalfi roads so not great for walking to and from with cars tightly driving past.My main issue was not location though, it was the small studio box room that we were staying in with a fold down bed that had the worst mattress i have ever stayed on with it. It was like sleeping on rough concrete and meant neither me nor my friend slept. The hotel looking after the apartment bookings did respond well when I complained and moved us to another apartment but the beds were still very poor. Credit to the hotel though for their attempts to resolve this.My only other issue was that it wasnt clear that the check in for the apartment was to be done at a hotel in the centre of Maori so I arrived at the apartment (15 min walk away) with 3 suitcases of luggage to find out that we needed to head back to the town to check in. again I would credit the hotel who sent a porter on a moped to drive one of us back to check in and then dropped me back off.I wouldnt stay here again due to the comfort levels but would stay in the sister hotel.
