Il Giardino Dorato

The place was fantastic. The food, rooms and facilities and particularly the family running the facility were exceptional. Everyone mentions the steps to walk up to the place which can be exhausting but definitely worth it. Just GO, it is surely worth the experience.

A sign of where to park would have been extremely helpful when initially arriving. Just something with the name would of been extremely helpful.

Absolutely everything - perfect place to run away from busy Amalfi streets. Food was absolutely delicious with ingredients right from the farm - we had 5 dinners out of 6 nights. The animals and the farm made so much joy to our son. Facilities are very modern, taken care of and we could get a very good sleep as its in a quite place.

None.

Excellent value clean, comfortable and extremely serviceable staff. Meals were excellent

Location was great great view but the road to get there is not the best. Would I recommend staying there? Most definitely. I will stay there the next time I’m in town

This property gives you a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in rural Italian life with all the comforts. Be aware it’s up a very steep hill, which you will be drive up by one of the family. We sent them a message when we arrived and waited at the petrol station where they met us and showed us where to park. It takes about 10/15 mins to drive up. On arrival we were delighted with our modern room with a fabulous shower and very comfortable bed. It was compact but had all we needed with lovely free toiletries. We stayed for 6 nights and ate at the property on 5 nights as the food is excellent. The menu has home made pasta, charcuterie and fabulous beef and pork from their farm. You would go a long way to find such good quality and tasty ingredients. We went for it one night and shared a huge delicious T bone steak cooked to perfection. They offer their own wine and we availed our self of their fab red wine each evening. It’s truly wonderful. We have to mention Mia dog, beautiful calm and friendly canine friend. ❤️ There are steps down and we used these every day to get to our car. We walked up once! But if you let the family know approx 20 mins before you get to the base of the property they are there ready and waiting to drive you back up. Nothing is too much trouble for them. We drove to Amalfi, parking on the coast road next to the tunnel you walk through into Amalfi. It wasn’t our scene, too busy and touristy. We enjoyed a day on the beach at Maiori. We took the ferry from Maiori to Capri. The ferry ride was fab but Capri totally overpriced and packed. We visited Minori and found great restaurants and cafe’s. A lovely place. We drove to Pompeii for a bit of culture. But our stay with Philippi, Luigi and family made our holiday. Open your mind, put up with the hill and you will have the best holiday for a bargain price.

There is nothing not to like. But remember you will have to come out of traditional tourist mode to thoroughly enjoy the experience.
