We had an unforgettable 4-night stay in this beautiful 5* pallazzo hotel. Service was exceptional and very warm. We felt as being part of the family! There are only 11 rooms and suites. Our room was very spacious, air-conditioned and gives access to a terrace, which offers a magnificient view! The bathroom is large, with all amenities available. We had a jacuzzi bath, along with a shower cabin with side-mounted water jets. There is an (unheated) pool and a seperate jacuzzi. Wi-fi at the pool is not The hotel is situated on top of a hill, close to the little town of Sant'Agata sui Due Golfi, with superb views on Sorrento, Napoli bay and Mount Vesuvio. It has a perfect location for excursions to Amalfi, Sorrento, Pompei,... A rental car is a must though, as transfers are quite expensive. You can reach Sant'Agata easily on foot, where there are several restaurants. We recommend Lo Stuzzichino and the Don Alfonso 1890 (2* Michelin), but do make a table reservation well upfront. Thers is also a very good gelateria (Sweet Costiera), with pistachio taste straight out of heaven! 😋 The whole Sorrento/Amalfi area hosts several unique dining options by the way... check the online Michelin guide 😉 The hotel also offers a very good restaurant, in which we had dinner on our first evening. The staff even surprised my wife with a dessert for her birthday, singing included 😀! (and without me mentioning her birthday to anyone). Breakfast is extensive, with a wide range of freshly cut fruits and pastry. Egg dishes or pancakes can be ordered and are included as well. Excursions can be arranged through the concierge desk. We did this to visit Capri, with a convenient hotel pickup/dropoff, drinks and a small sandwich included, for a reasonable price. If you want to visit Pompei/Vesuvio, the train is an easy option too. Combined tickets are available at the spot when you arrive in Pompei. But if you go by car don't forget to buy a ticket online 1 day in advance to be able to reach the top of Vesuvio. We especially enjoyed the excellent and personal service at the hotel. They really make you feel at home! Also a big thank you to the reception staff for the very useful tip on where to park in Positano and the reservation at Don Alfonso restaurant! 👍🏼 We will be back for sure! Bart and Cindy
