This hotel has a great view and is located in a beautiful garden, the restaurant is just okay, morning buffet is very limited and not super tasty. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, furniture is damaged and it looks like the owner stopped invest money into fixing the property.

The room was tidy, clean and spacious. We even had a small balcony overlooking the garden. Also loved the choice and quality of food for breakfast and of course the panoramic view at the restaurant.

4/10 Major mold = dealbreaker
It breaks my heart to write this review which is why it's taken me a long time to actually write it because the staff was nothing but sweet and did their best to help (my only reason for giving 2 stars instead of one). But I hate to think others will pay quite a bit for this place without first knowing what to expect.
You are definitely paying for the gorgeous view with this hotel. We were given an upgraded room with a balcony but I'd be even more disappointed if we weren't.
The pros…
*Welcoming and kind staff. They did their best to accommodate.
*Gorgeous view
*Our room had a patio with peaceful ocean sounds and beautiful sunset views
*Easy to get to quaint beach downstairs with staff that were super helpful
The not so great parts…
*The hotel itself is a bit dated and run down.
**The biggest issue was the major black mold in the shower which was quite concerning and unacceptable. They came in and tried to clean it but you can tell it's been there for a really long time. I hated taking a shower, in the tiny space, trying to avoid touching anything.
After visiting around and talking to some friends, there are way better places to stay in Amalfi.

9/10 Beautiful and comfortable stay in a design icon.
The room and its view were absolutely beautiful. The location by the sea and the private beach with black lava sand and below the rock were stunning - so great this was still available in late autumn. Also the public areas, gardens, breakfast were excellent. Everyone I met was super friendly. I find it very commendable that the hotel so much appreciates and respects the design heritage of its architecture and interiors designed by Gio Ponti.

10/10 Majestically-run, gorgeous Hotel
We stayed for 4 nights at the end of July, with our daughter, and the grand parents.
The hotel absolutely exceeded our expectations.
First of all: the property itself checks all the boxes: beautiful rooms, wonderful restaurants and bars, incredible grounds, with a garden/park dating back to the 1400s, and a real (small, but still) private beach. And yes: the famous Gio Ponti swimming pool.
The service is impeccable: from check-in staff to the cleaning crews, the friendliest, most proper, most polite I've found in an Italian hotel. Everyone working at the hotel has a wonderful attitude. The restaurant/bar/beach staff is with you from breakfast to night cap, and it's just the best. Special "6 star" mention to Nello, who was extra kind to our 5 yo daughter and us, and to Armando, one of the concierges, who was extra attentive to the grandparents, and us.
This is a family-owned hotel, since its construction and opening in the early 1960s, and I feel that the family runs it with pride, business acumen, sensibility, elegance, while perfectly adapting to the demands of a changing clientele. Bravi!
Last note: we are a two-dads family, and the hotel/staff proved also to be naturally and effortlessly LGBTQIA+ friendly

10/10 Beautiful Hotel overlooking the coast
We stayed in one of the newly renovated apartments set in the gardens. It was genuinely wonderful with a huge walk down jacuzzi bath inside.
This hotel is beautiful. Overlooking the sea and mount Vesuvius. The grounds are filled with botanical plants and lemon trees.
Hotel staff lovely and very helpful. We had dinner in the hotel which was delicious, with two fussy children who were both happy.
The location is 5 mins drive into Sorrento. Walkable but we had a car so drove for shopping.
It was my birthday and my husband arranged a cake that was absolutely the best cake I have ever had, Strawberry Chantilly Cream.
Hints and Tips:
The pool gets sunshine throughout the day, but in November was shaded by 1500hrs.
The beach gets sunshine until sunset and is a volcanic beach accessed by lift with beds on the decking.
For travel, Pompeii was a 45 minute drive, but driving is not for the feint hearted!
Breakfast was great, scrambled eggs and fruits, pastries, meats, cheeses, fresh tea and coffee.
Car parking is 15 euros a day and valet service.
Staff are all absolutely lovely!

7/10 Lovely hotel with great views and beach but service needs to be improved
1. The area and the park is wonderful, the sea view is amazing, the private beach is very useful
2. the design is excellent
3. The rooms are very comfortable, but may be a little bit 'tired'
4. The air conditioner works perfectly, silently and creates the ideal temperature without that usual draft.
5. The bed is comfortable.
6. The cleaners on the 2nd floor are very kind, neat and solve all everyday problems.
7. Diana works at the reception, she is very good and accurate, and there is another girl who speaks Russian, unfortunately, we saw her only before leaving, but she also seemed good and very responsible to me.
8. Most of the guys on the beach and the one who works at the pool are nice (but they may not make coffee after 40 minutes of waiting, as happened a couple of times).

10/10 A fantastic design-led hotel in a stunning location
The location is perfect. Beautiful view overlooking the sea. Incredible sunset. We love sitting having a well-made cocktail in the evening. We love the design. It’s a Gio Ponti museum and should be listed! It’s our 3rd time staying here & we stay here because we love the design so much.
The breakfast selection is wonderful as is the restaurant view. The pool and poolside is beautiful. We like the walk into Sorrento, yes it’s busy but you can walk on pavement most of the way. It takes about 20/25 minutes but we enjoy the stroll. Great pizza/pasta restaurant around the corner if you want to stay local.

10/10 Almafi Coast Dreams Come True!
Absolutely wonderful hotel! The grounds are beautiful, from the gardens to the views to the ocean. Room was spacious and comfortable with all amenities (e.g., robes, bathroom toiletry kit, complementary water etc.). The jetty out by the ocean was gorgeous, you can see Pompeii and the ocean in all directions. Complimentary breakfast was incredible, with a view to make it even better!

6/10 Great views
The hotel offered great water views. The property was well maintained and serene. The concierge provided excellent dinner recommendations, and we were definitely satisfied with both recommendations. The breakfast buffet was good but charged extra for items such as omelets and French toast. The sound proofing in the rooms was awful and we often heard our neighbors talking or watching television.

10/10 Fantastic!!!!!
The view, the housekeeping was amazing how many times she gave us new towels and turn-down service. It was like she was a fairy godmother. The room service staff were extremely attentive even though she had a wedding the same kitchen was catering. The Concierge, Claudio, was so friendly, accommodating and helpful. The overnight Concierge was truly wonderful, as we had to go to the hospital unexpectedly and they arranged a taxi in the middle of the night. It wasn't so urgent that we needed an ambulance, but the two Concierge on staff were helpful and very compassionate to our nervousness. The restaurant staff in the dining room, at the beach restaurant, at the beach bar, pool bar and blue bar were excellent-especially Francesca! Thank you for a truly magical experience.

7/10 Beautiful beach but hotel needs some love. Breakfast needs to be improved as well.
Some of the staff were outstanding especially the cleaning staff Patrizia, Rosanna, and Daniella and the shuttle driver Luigi. In fact, they should train the front desk staff on what it means to provide good service. The hotel grounds are wonderful but the rooms need updating especially the bathrooms. The private beach is great but it is a bit of a walk to town and the shuttle doesn't run often enough and only has 7 seats.

8/10 Great hotel with ocean views
The staff at the hotel were super friendly and helpful. They really made our stay in Sorrento enjoyable. We arrived at Sorrento with two days of rain. However the service and breakfast made up for the otherwise disappointing trip to the Amalfi coast.
The hotel staff also helped us print out our train passes.
The toilet wasn't working properly on the 2nd day, but they requested maintenance to repair in no time and also fixed the bedside light that wasn't working.
The hotel is situated at a reasonably convenient location if there isn't any rain. We did manage to walk on the short periods when there was no rain.
I loved how the restaurant is facing the ocean with glass windows. I would imagine it would be so romantic and serene if the weather is better.

10/10 Beautiful hotel with wonderful amenities
Our room was on the garden side, which is still a lovely view of the grounds. The room was spacious, even with a twin sized bed set up for our daughter. The bathroom has best counter space in any place I've stayed in Italy (out of Florence, Venice, Rome, and Napels...silly but it really helps getting ready in the mornings with 3 people!) The breakfasts were fantastic! A huge array of options, lovely and attentive staff, and an enclosed foyer that seats you right over the ocean for a magnificent view.
