My room was small because I was a solo traveller. It was just enough room. The tile detail was amazing! I didn't like the hours of the desk clerk, as I had difficulty when I was back at the hotel (only in the morning and at night after sightseeing) they weren't there and I wasn't able to pay them. Upon leaving I simply left a note stating to charge my credit card. Breakfast was wonderful and the outdoor terrace was nice.

We said that we would return in October and we did! If anything it was even more enjoyable and relaxing. Guess what we have reserved our room for April 2012.

What a beautiful little hotel over looking the church and rooftops of gorgeous Amalfi!

We stayed in the Gisulfo II room which had a king bed, private terrace, small refrigerator and air conditioning. One set of french windows looking out to the ocean and a small piazza and another leading onto a private terrace complete with huge sunbeds, umbrella and small table and chairs, what more could u want?
The staff were lovely and always helpful and smiling. Breakfast was certainly simple by Aussie standards but that was the case everywhere in Italy, to the Italians croissants, cold meats, fruit and cheese IS breakfast, its different and that is why u travel to the other side of the world.
The stairs were no problem at all, yes about 70 or so but I am not fit at all and was not concerned with them, just took my time.
The town tour offered to tourists was very interesting and helps u appreciate the history of Amalfi, it was nice of the hotel owners to tell us about it and book us in.
From here:

-Positano was a great day trip!! Shopping here was great so take some extra $$$.
-Ravello is also DEFINITELY not to be missed. Catch the bus up, take a camera with a LOT of battery and space. You must eat at the Hotel Villa Maria for lunch, amazing food on outdoor terrace, 5 star service and the most spectacular veiw!!!!

We loved Amalfi, its surrounding towns and Hotel Residenza!!!

Oh!! if you want real italian food where the locals eat go to Trattoria Da Maria Pizzieria!! Woww was the food here amazing and it is right on the main cobblestone street so easy to find.

Thanks for an amazing stay!

All of the reviews here have covered the good points and I can only concur: friendly staff, spotless rooms, fridges, air con, simple but good breakfast and lovely outdoor terrace. We had two rooms during our stay; a simpler cheaper room at the back and then the most expensive room at the front with the private deck. I have to say that both are stunningly and tastefully decorated. However the cheaper room had a tiny shower and suffers from continual footfalls of neighbours above and beside. Our experience in this room was one of the noisiest in Italy. How pleasant then to move rooms and find no one above us, a lovely view of the square below but best of all, a huge shaded deck with divinely comfortable sun lounges to while away the afternoons on. Of course Amalfi is as noisy as any other Italian town (they would probably say its peaceful) so you need good noise canceling headphones on for peace but we didn't find the screaming kids mentioned in another review too bad. The church bells are endless though and seriously get a bit much. We stayed here on a Sunday and it's crazy with weddings, spontaneous roaming bands and miscellaneous fireworks displays. Thankfully each night the noise dissipates and sleep is good. The windows are double glazed and shuttered and the beds are terrifically comfortable with 5 star pillows - lofty and not too soft. In five weeks of travelling I have been yet to find such great pillows! Also tea and coffee facilities in each room is something we take for granted but rarely seen in Europe so this is another plus. Just bear in mind that you will have to climb the 76 steps from the street to your room each day and I saw every guest puffing from the climb. Also the wifi has patchy coverage but does make it into the expensive rooms most of the time. It's fine in the lounge and breakfast area though. All up, a great stay.
