After hearing fabulous reports about the Amalfi coastline I was lucky enough to find this brilliant hotel right on the water's edge (with no single supplement charged!). I enjoyed the holiday so much that I have booked again for September 2010 & I can't wait to return. La Bussola's staff were friendly, helpful and I can't fault the service at... more

before we went we read all the reviews. Our judgement is that the hotel is in a great location - yes it can be a little "buzzy" outside at night but our sleep was not disturbed much if at all. All the staff were good - particularly the very nice bloke in the bar who was very attentive (we were... more

My sister and I stayed at La Bussola for a week from 18 to 25 September. I have to say that it is an ideal location, no hills to climb and very handy for both the ferry and bus terminals and the lovely town of Amalfi itself. Apart from one or two of the reception staff who were quite grumpy,... more

We spent just one night here during our travels up the coast. The value and location are excellent. Views from the window/balcony are just stunning. Management is efficient and cordial. The hotel is a little dated but very clean. The breakfast is perfectly acceptable but after being spoiled in Taormina at the Taodomus it was a little disappointing. Would probably... more

After considering Positano, Ravello and Amalfi, we stayed at La Bussola for 8 nights during our honeymoon. The location is excellent, a short walk from the ferry dock and sita bus stop, very convenient for day trips to the surrounding towns. We stayed in room 232, which has a large balcony with table and two chairs overlooking the harbor, perfect... more

This was the best hotel of our entire trip. What a find. We had room 226 on the 2nd floor with a balcony overlooking the sea. The room was large and very clean. Short walk to amalfi village, ferry and sita bus. Hotel has a wonderful bar area which we used regularly it also has a large restaurant we did... more

Our first visit to Italy for many years and it did not disappoint. The hotel was spotlessly clean and the waiters could'nt do enough to oblige, but the reception staff could have been a little more cheerful. The location was great - plenty of boat trips, buses or taxis to anywhere - Our balcony looked over the harbour and there... more

After much agonizing where to stay... Amalfi,Positano ,Ravello ,Praiano,etc Then which hotel to stay.... I am thrilled at our choice. La bussola was the best choice we could have made. Vincenzo was especially hospitalble and always ready to offer good advice. The position was the best. No great lengths of stairs to navigate (especially with luggage) which is difficult to... more

We stayed 5 nights at the end of a Smartours Italy tour that ended in Sorrento. Ignoring the unfavorable euro-dollar valuation at the time, the hotel was a great place to stay. Excellent location. Good breakfast. We upgraded to an ocean view. Contacted the hotel directly over the internet and by phone. Staff was helpful, room was large and comfortable.... more
