This lovely guest house is in the very heart of Amalfi. Our balcony was on the corner of the lovely building, high above the main street. During our resting times, between our lovely boat trips to Positano, Capri et al, we had a wonderful time watching all that happened, from early morning to late into the night - from the washing of the street and bread delivery to the romantic candle lit late night dining. It was all great fun and fascinating; the weddings at the Cathedral, the religious processions and especially the jokes with the waiters on the terrace of the smart restaurant just below us. The room itself was very lovely, spacious, airy,clean and pleasing. There are high spec quality fittings in tiling, wood and glass. The bathroom was beautifully fitted and lit. The mezzanine level bedroom was reached by a beautiful glass and oak staircase from a spacious living area. Sound proofing was excellent, with effective but unobtrusive air conditioning. The best element of all was undoubtedly Vincenzo himself, who was absolutely unstinting in his efforts to make our stay perfect. We thought his restaurant in the little piazza, a few metres away just great. With mama making the pasta and, it seems, many of the family involved, he would provide pretty well anything you fancied. Everything was fresh and cooked to a lovely standard. The fish was bought fresh each day and cooked beautifully. There are about five restaurants spilling out into the little Piazza Doge, but Vincenzo's was by far the busiest from all we could see. We were prepared to spend more at more sophisticated venues, but found his totally pleasing. It speaks for itself. In this square you will also find a pharmacy, two supermarkets, a herbs and spices shop, hairdressers, a takeaway fried seafood shop and along a passageway, a limoncello factory. (But try Vincenzo's homemade version first!) We must mention Anna and Lydia who run the guest house between them. In short, they do everything possible to facilitate a lovely stay. Anna will happily organise your trips, taxis, porters etc removing any stress or hassle. The breakfasts are fresh and tasty with plenty of choice. Vincenzo is a charming, very hard working young man who puts everything he has into his work. Obviously, he makes good choices in appointing his staff who do him proud and he cuts no corners in his restorations. We would like to thank them all for making our holiday very special and wish them all the luck in the world which they richly deserve.
