Hotels near Fontana dei delfini, Amalfi

My husband and I came here for our honeymoon while we stayed in Amalfi and it was beyond wonderful. Our room was beautiful and clean with amazing views and I was obsessed with the massive size of the bath towels! We had a wonderful breakfast every morning sitting on the outdoor patio overlooking the beach and sea. The staff was extremely kind and helpful, making us reservations and setting anything else up that we needed help with. The location is perfect, walking distance to everything you want in town, the duomo, the bus, the ferry, the beach and the best restaurants. The pool area is also very nice, never crowded and wonderful service up there. We loved the boutique aspect of the hotel but still received 5 star service. We would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone visiting amalfi.

We arrived on Sunday 22/10/23 with limited expectations, the hotel had a Wedding in progress and this made check in at most casual, initial impressions were ok décor looked traditional and clean, The room 204, that's where it all went down hill, room was small and bland. a small TV hung on the wall, a fridge was in the cupboard below which didn't seem to work and was supposed to be stocked, it wasn't, it was empty, walls were scuffed and could have done with a lick of paint. The bathroom was small and had an over bath shower with usual facilities, the bath needed the sealant replaced around the whole bath, the shower blind was a bit dated and grim the underside of it was not clean. I'm afraid it wasn't inviting, quite the opposite, needed updating. The door to the balcony was new and worked well, when you get outside you see this hotels appeal being 600m Above Sea Level the views are breath-taking. Bed was hard as stone like sleeping on a mortuary slab, not that I've ever done that and i actually slept quite well. my wife however wasn't as pleased, we enquired about a topper at reception, the language barrier did get in the way but we thought we'd got through, alas we didn't get the topper. we had one meal in the hotel which was ok. Breakfast was served on level -1 a large soulless room, normal continental fair ham, cheese, bread, hard boiled eggs some limp lettuce, no cereal to speak of, yogurt tea and American Coffee. Not exactly well presented but ok. my wife is a coeliac(gluten free) and the staff provided gluten free products, on the Wednesday morning and i can only assume that as there were only 5 people in the hotel breakfast was served in the ground floor restaurant, which was better, and had great views, breakfast was served at the table. There was a bar but it was not well stocked or manned. 2x G&T's £8 parking was ok a bit tight but ok. The hotel is in the hamlet of Agerola which has limited restaurants and bars we had drinks at Madame in the square and at the bar across the road when the aforementioned was shut, we had a meal in the next village along, which was also small and only had one or two restaurants that we could find. Not exactly buzzing but very pretty and it was October, also bear in mind the temperature is 3-4 degs lower than the coast, Also it takes about an hour to get to the coast, round some tight bendy mountain roads, if your a nervous driver might not be the place for you. We left a day early and moved to Pompeii as he weather was not good, and we wanted to get nearer to Naples, paid the bill which included a local tax! I'm sure was included on the original booking but i may be wrong, worth watching out for. This hotel is very pretty and traditional the staff are friendly and helpful, it has the potential, to be a good hotel, public rooms are modern and clean but they need a bit of fine tuning, Room/s need modernizing. Overall we had a pleasant stay.

Avoid at all costs. Caution to those looking to book, there is a hotel panorama and most likely the positive reviews are meant for the hotel, not residence. First, I was told the card couldn’t be processed after successful online booking and that I needed to email my full credit information as the balance remainder on the card was insufficient, despite myself knowing this is not the case. I double checked the card I used and also asked for the last digits of the card. The card was fine, when I told them this they then changed the story to say the card number was just incomplete and again to email the card information. I refused to email and they threatened to cancel the reservation. During July, there were very few available hotels at this point just a few days to check in. So against my better judgement I provided a rarely used card in case of them being a scam and called with the information. Upon arrival at the very old building, they asked for a security deposit of 100 euros. This seems unheard of here in Italy and was discussed also in a very recent review as well. I provided the same card again written on an old fashioned carbon copy paper. When I got the keys to go upstairs they told me there are also stairs as many guests are scared of the elevator. I didn’t know what to say but now that seemed warranted. When I entered the room to lock it, I found the deadbolt to be jammed so that there was no way to internally lock the door. The building is shared use with local apartments. When I let the front desk know the deadbolt did not lock (I am young female alone) they told me first that none of the doors had internal locks. I asked a guest staying there as this seemed simply a lie, which they confirmed their door did lock internally as is a bare minimum feature at hotels to have a deadbolt lock. I note the keys to get in are a physical key rather than electronic. I requested they call maintenance to fix the door, they told me they had already left but they will come in the morning to fix the door. This means they lied that all doors do not lock as they agreed it needed to be fixed. I then informed them I would not be accepting the room and would be leaving. They tried to delay me so much with the same circular talk of they will fix the door in the morning (despite previously saying all doors do not lock internally), they also say they have security at front desk (but there are multiple entrances and no security between local residential floors and guest floors), and later that Italy requires all doors to be non panic and not internally locking (this is false). They will not refund or cancel the multiple night stay and now dispute with credit card company is in progress. Whatever you do, avoid this place. The room was also dirty and couldn’t have been cheaper put together despite the cost of the room.

The location is perfect to explore the Amalfi coast. The room was large and new and had a super equipment. You have a beautiful view of the sea from there. The free parking are good when you are with the car there, it was easy to find. It is very quiet and you can perfectly turn it off there. Breakfast was very delicious and is recommended as it offers a large selection.

The negative reviews on here debate whether this is a 5 star resort or not. This is subjective and depends where you have stayed in your past. We live in the US. We have lived in Shanghai for many years and traveled extensively around that region. The resorts there are truly 5 star. Some of the best in the world. Even compared to the US. However, traveling throughout Europe there are different standards. This region is older and steeped in history which is the allure of visiting. Having said that I Hotel Raito is a 5 star resort. The service is outstanding from the front desk to the dining room and even maintenance and then the pool. The pool is fantastic! Very relaxing and the views! The dining at their restaurant in the evenings were great. We stayed in room 120 which is at the front of the hotel overlooking the entrance from the parking lot. My guess not the most desirable room. My wife and I were fine with it as it was clean and had a balcony overlooking Vietri and the sea. We are very positive people so that helps with our experiences and outlook. I could go on and on. Come stay at Hotel Raito and explore and fall in love with the Amalfi Coast!

We stayed at Hotel Diana because a friend recommended it. It is conveniently located - walking distance to the ruins and the train station. We had not planned our visit prior to arriving in Pompeii, but Claudia at the front desk put together a phenomenal itinerary for us. We saw the ruins; ate lunch at a local winery; had a guided tour of Naples and a driver who took us on a tour of the Amalfi coast. She planned all of this in just a day. The hotel is not fancy but is clean and close to wonderful restaurants. The staff is amazing. If you ever go to Pompeii, you should stay here. Choosing Hotel Diana was the best decision we made during our visit to Italy.

May 13, 2023. In April, Judy and I visited Pompeii with another couple who are good friends and traveling companions, while visiting Italy, Switzerland and Sweden. Our group has considerable international travel experience and each of us really enjoyed Mirosa Bed and Breakfast; the people and accommodations were great. It was an excellent choice. Of note, during our stay issues arose with a booked tour and related timing and transportation issues. Owners Mirosa and husband Pasquale personally took control and, through considerable effort on their part, made it all work out. Amazing hospitality and warmth all around, including a wonderful visit with kind lady who served breakfast. Thanks! MD & Judy Dell’Osso Crockett, Texas USA

We absolutely loved our visit in Vico Equense at the Hotel Mary! We are a family of 4 and had a larger room with a queen bed and 2 twin beds and it was very spacious, clean and comfortable! The bathroom was large and had everything we could ever need. The balcony overlooked the pool and sea and was fantastic. The pool area was very nice and we walked down and back up from the sea / beach club every day. That was a highlight! We loved the location of the sea club. It was a much needed walk after lots of eating and drinking all that Italy has to offer! The breakfast was amazing, overlooking the sea and the staff was very friendly and helpful! I highly recommend staying here if you want to get away from the crowds in Sorrento. Vico Equense is a lovely town, with lovely people, beautiful streets and views and great restaurants. It is only a 10 min walk to the train station and 4 stops away from Sorrento.

The best hotel in Italy, very new and clean, decorated in a simple and trendy style; the hotel does not have a parking lot, and it is convenient to use the nearby parking lot 100 meters away; the breakfast is a bit stretched, and I went a little late, before breakfast After an hour or so, the hot and cold dishes are no longer available; however, living in Italy for around 1,500 Hong Kong dollars has nothing to do with this quality.
