Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to S M di Castellabate at this perfectly located small hotel with spacious accommodation. The web site does not exaggerate the beauty of the location. Carlo the owner is the epitome of helpfulness, and did his very best to make up for the unseasonably cold and wet weather we encountered. From behind the small private bar... More

'Great small hotel' (Google it!) says it all - even when the rain lashed down and the sea, just 50 meteres away was in full roar, this place offered an away-from-it-all refuge. Our Superior Room (24) was spacious and airy, the welcome from Carlos genuine and always helpful for local restaurants, all be it slightly out of season, and places... More

We stayed here for two nights near the middle of October after visiting the Amalfi coast. We stayed in Room #24. It was the largest room we had the entire trip, and was tastefully decorated in a beautiful, minimalist style. The bathroom was also well-appointed. The first floor bar and breakfast room were also exceptionally handsome. The best part was... More

We spent 3 nights at the wonderful hotel, and just loved it. We spent hours sitting on our balcony overlooking the sea and the road - the people watching was fantastic! ;o) Carlo and his wife were extremely welcoming, and we had a lovely drink one evening with Carlo outside the hotel. We would definitely go back, and ideally to... More

Santa Maria is a fantastic city, 1861 Residenza is a fantastic hotel. Big and calm rooms, friendly service, great view. Absolutely perfect, we will definitely come back.

This was the sixth time we have stayed with Carlo & Teresa in 4yrs, it is still the most wonderful place with the nicest people, can't wait for next year.

We totally enjoyed our stay at hotel, the owners were really welcoming and helpful in accomodating us and also recommended us very good routs and great places to visit. Very good breakfest. Special word about the room - very spacious, nicely designed and very homey, as there's a coach and an armchair. A furniture is chosen according to all hotel... More

I stayed here with my family in October and it couldn't have been better. Carlo and Tereasa are exellent hosts who really can't do enough for you. The rooms are lovely and the views are spectacular. There is really no better way to kick off the evening having a glass of Prosecco outside the bar watching one of those beautiful... More

We got married in Castellabate and stayed at the Residenza before and after our wedding. We could not fault the hotel in any way. Our room was fabulous with a breath taking view from our balcony. It had ample space and was tastefully decorated. The breakfast was delicious each morning with a wide choice available. We were centrally located to... More
