A great location near the water, but must go up quite a few steps to get there. Had a large, tiled room to myself and the family owners were very friendly.

This is a beautiful historical building with plenty of personality, great seaviews and a perfect setting in the middle of Amalfi. Great value for money. We stayed 7 nights in August 2011 and will definitely be coming back. Great place!

We stayed in the Lidomare for 4 nights from 30 May 2011, and found it charming. Our room had large and wonderfully old double doors, and a balcony with a view of the cathedral. Since the hotel is set a little back from the main square on a small courtyard it wasn't too noisy, and we could sit at our open french windows and read in relative peace and seclusion. Very pleasant. As many previous reviewers have said, everything was spotlessly clean, and the hotelier was friendly and helpful. The tiled floors and charmingly mismatched furniture seemed in keeping with the age of the building and the town in general, being old and occasionally slightly eccentric but nevertheless comfortable - although beware of sitting at the small round table in the corner of the breakfast room unless you are very tall!

You should note that if you either can't or won't carry your own luggage up stairs then you shouldn't stay at the Lidomare, but this shouldn't be a problem for most people.

Stayed at the hotel last week, the hotel was ok for a three star hotel in the centre of Amalfi – a little bit on the expensive side and not great.

The room itself was tired and dated, but looked clean. The TV had limited Italian channels.

Breakfast was a little bit poor, but ok by a cheap hotel standards.

Parking involved handing the car and keys over to a nice guy called Andreas, who seemed to manage all the parking in town in garages - €20/day and also involved getting the bags to the hotel.

The room we had was massive, the bathroom very small. We had a sea view, which meant us being right over the main coast road – the room had double glazing so not so bad noise wise. I would doubt the duvet on the bed had ever seen a clean, so we didn’t use it.
