Hotels in Italy

My favorite Italian destination - from the warmth of the family-run hotel. Luigi's family and staff go out of their way to accommodate and take care of guests: Very professional. Always bearing a gentle smile. Most considerate and kind. The hotel feels so clean and new. The shower pressure, the air conditioning, all work to perfection. There is also a lift for those who may need it. The incredibly generous portions and variety of breakfast is something I shall miss, for one. The fresh figs from the trees and neighbouring goats, for two. I had just left their hotel, and checked into a five star hotel in Naples, and I so miss the family's hospitality already! It felt like a special treat away from home, on the Amalfi Coast. Highly recommend as a well-run, sophisticated and top-class holiday destination. They have a complimentary shuttle that takes guests to and fro Praiano's town centre, or to the Marina di Praia for beach lovers where there are a few cute restaurants on the waterfront/ exciting water taxi rides; and also a drop-off point to walk down into the famous and stunning Positano town. I was able to visit Capri, Ravello, Amalfi, Positano and Praiano's town activities from the recommendations of Federico and Alexia, of which, the experiences I would treasure for a long long time. Do try the restaurant upstairs too, I loved all the fish dishes. Last, but not least, there was a concert at sunrise this morning, and Alexia did not hesitate to drive me at 5.50a.m to attend! At the beginning of August, there seems to have many town activities in particular. The luminaria was another interesting event to watch, lighting up the Praiano town centre and the church of San Genaro.

Borgo dei Gatti in Golferenzo is a magical place to relax and to experience all the joys of the Italian countryside along with a lovely spa. There is a cat who welcomed us and visited each morning and evening. Paola, the hostess, is a gem of a soul— so thoughtful and sweet and charming! The daily breakfast in a basket is a feast! The pool has a lovely view. The various places to eat are splendid. It is a quiet, relaxing and rejuvenating experience to stay there. It’s location is off the beaten track, yet just 1/2 from the train station, where they picked us up. As an American, I loved every charming detail— all very reasonably priced for an absolutely splendid experience! I would give it 20 stars or more!

From the moment we arrived, we were completely enchanted. The surrounding villages, rolling hills, lush nature, and fragrant orange trees created a dreamlike backdrop that felt straight out of a painting. La Monastica is, without a doubt, the most beautiful place I have ever stayed. The resort is like a secret garden unfolding across different levels—each terrace revealing new corners of serenity, from elegant pools to peaceful towers and cozy nooks perfect for unwinding while taking in the breathtaking views. The staff—Michela, Elena, Paola, and the entire team—embody true hospitality. Their attentiveness, warmth, and kindness are something truly rare and unforgettable. They made our stay not just comfortable, but genuinely heartwarming. The spa is a haven in itself. From the soothing massages to the jacuzzis enhanced with facial masks, every detail is crafted to melt away stress and wrap you in calm. The atmosphere is luxurious yet grounding—pure bliss. Devoti Restaurant deserves its own standing ovation. Set within a beautifully restored old church, the ambiance alone is magical. But the food—every single dish—was a revelation. This wasn’t just a meal; it was a culinary journey that left a lasting impression. The kind of dining experience you’ll tell stories about for years to come. And the breakfast? Absolutely divine. Every morning felt like a celebration—so fresh, so flavorful, so perfectly done. Truly, it couldn’t have been more perfect. Visiting La Monastica was a dream come true. It set a new standard for beauty, comfort, and hospitality that will be hard to match. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to the entire team. You’ve given us memories we will treasure forever.

Very peaceful & Romantic. It feels like stepping onto another Era. Beautifully designed too !!

Beautiful location, with excellent amenities. Elena was very helpful in sorting out travel plans for us. The boat tour around the island was fabulous and the pizza restaurant at night was delicious and reasonable price.

It was like living in a dream. So special , also the restaurant was great The family lives these and this place is their heart We booked for one night and extended for another night For sure I will be back to this wonderful place full of Love

We loved our stay. The room was clean and suited our needs perfectly, but the real highlight was the staff at the property. Lucio went out of his way to make our morning breakfasts a core memory of our honeymoon. We will be recommending this stay to anyone looking to book along the Amalfi Coast!

One of the best hotel experiences i have ever had. Hotel location is great. Cleanliness was good. Staff were exceptional.

The location, cleanliness, comfort, staff, breakfast, and dinner surpassed expectations. The hotel's grounds, gardens, and breathtaking views were truly remarkable. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and look forward to returning in the future.
