“A welcoming place away from home”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2012

We stayed at L Antico Convitto last February. It was a last minute booking from Florence and we did not expect much. But when we arrived we were pleasantly surprised by the friendliness of the owners (I think Gabriela was her name and her husband) and their children too. There was a very homely atmosphere. The rooms are simple but very very clean. The view from the window is beautiful, early in the morning we could see how the village slowly came to life. The street is not an ordinary street, it´s narrower than an alley and at the end of it there´s a supermarket, next to it is the entrance to a building, the hotel is on the 4th floor. There´s an old lift. Don´t feel discouraged by the outside!! The inside and the people who run it are worth a stay!!!

Room Tip: You can´t park your car at the entrance, it´s a one way street, ask the owners directions to the car...

“Could not ask for more!”

It is not easy to find - but it is worth the effort. Most of Amalfi is closed to traffic unless you are a guest of one of the hotels, and even then, it is open only few hours every day. I was lucky enough when I got there to be able to drive through. The narrow street has a traffic light to accommodate the 2-way traffic, and no real option to stop on the way. So you simply keep on driving till you get to the first parking building which happens to be the right one for this hotel (and probably serving few more; it is near a red building). Parking is quite expensive, but this is not different from other places in Amalfi.

Once you parked, just ask people in the street for directions, as otherwise it is hard to see the small sign leading to the building. The elevator in the building is one of the old ones - an experience that took me back in time :)

The room was spacious and luxurious (with a Jacuzzi), good WiFi, comfortable bed and a safe. This hotel is not on the beach front, so don't expect see view from your room, but there is a great place on the roof if you want to enjoy the view anytime of the day. The plus about the location is that is relatively quiet and very close to the main Amalfi square and the beach.

All of the people I met there were extremely nice, spoke English and made me feel at home. Breakfast is quite standard in Italian terms. One thing about Amalfi in general - it is practically impossible to sleep after 7 (unless you are in a distant hotel) - the church bells ring every 15 minutes starting from 7am till 10pm every day. Plan accordingly :)

“Beautiful room and great staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 October 2011

Unfortunately, we only stayed one night in Amalfi and we wish we couldn't have stayed longer! Our room was gorgeous and spacious. We could see the shops below and the mountains out our windows. The staff was very friendly and made us reservations at a great seafood restaurant overlooking the sea. They even accommodated our request for a late checkout the following day. You would have a hard time finding a better room at such a great price anywhere in Italy. This was definitely our favorite. We can't wait to go back!

“A Hidden Gem”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 August 2011

I found this hotel on Tripadvisor and decided "why not". We had a free night between a cruise and a timeshare and wanted to see the famous Amalfi coast. We arrived at Amalfi town square and walked into a charming, busy area filled with shops, cafes, gelateries...all surrounding a cathedral.
A short distance from the square, tucked into a little alleyway, was our hotel. At first we did the "ohhh, I don't know"...as only one of us with luggage could fit into the elevator. But as we arrived at the front desk and were greeted by the more than welcoming staff, worries disappeared. Our room was quite large with wooden shuttered windows that overlooked the cathedral. The bathroom was enormous by European standards and even had heated floors.
Breakfast and internet were included in the price. Breakfast had lots of variety and also included cooked to order eggs if you so desired.

I can't compliment the staff enough. Not only were they very welcoming and helpful but all spoke English without hesitation or without request. They even insisted that a porter drive our bags down to the square because it was raining. Much like you would do for a family member.....
We would go back in a heartbeat, since one night did not do the area justice.
