Residenza Sole Amalfi

The location was phenomenal with only few steps to get to the property, compared to other accommodation options. Breakfast is wonderful with coffee, pastry’s, eggs, juices, and fresh fruit. The rooms and common areas were clean, and the bathroom was spacious with a lot of mirror space. The rooms were air conditioned as well. The staff was hardworking and accommodating, and quick to respond if you need anything. We called when we’re locked out of a room and we received help within two minutes! We would recommend this place!

Great location

Nothing, it was great

We loved the old fashioned elegance in the bedroom, with curtains so you could open the doors to the shared patio but still have privacy. The bathroom was completely modern and looked very new. The host offered a service for luggage transfer but we walked up the steps, because steps are part of the Almafi experience! The breakfast featured WARM croissants they were the best we have had on this vacation. The room had a table and chairs so you could eat privately, but we chose to eat on the shared terrace and enjoy the December sunshine sheltered from the wind. Our host allowed us a late checkout (2pm) because we had a late afternoon ferry. We walked the "path of the gods" which was beautiful, we chose to walk down the steps from Nocelle instead of taking the bus, we were sore the next day and spent it reading on the lovely terrace in the sunshine. (We are over 65 years old)

Good location

First Amalfi is an expensive place to stay. Therefore you can expect to pay top dollar for a room, which anywhere else would be considered mediocre. This is definitely the case with this offering. The room and facilities were liveable but somewhat rundown and in need of maintenance. The noise level from other people and the staff is quite intrusive until late at night and from early in the morning. The shower rose was very blocked and in need of a very good clean or replacement, making showering very limited. The one issue you are not advised of until after booking is there are about fifty steps up to the hotel. The one positive is the location is very good, close to everything. Our recommendation, if you are going to the Amalfi coast, is to stay in Salerno (more facilities and noticeably cheaper) and make day trips to towns like Amalfi, Positano and Capri by ferry from Salerno. Lots of ferries, all day. Also easy to go to other parts of Italy by fast train from Salerno.
