The hotel itself is basic. The rooms are modern, spacious and comfortable, kept impeccably clean. But, what really makes the hotel is the hospitality. From the moment we arrived after a nerve-wracking drive along the coast, the family welcomed us to the hotel with info on the area, itinerary suggestions and more. Every time we'd return to the hotel, they asked where we had been, what we saw, if we were enjoying ourselves. I felt like family!
Having a guaranteed parking space is invaluable if you're going by car. And, when we were there, the buses were packed. We actually watched 2 pass us by because they were so full before we hopped back in the car and drove ourselves to Amalfi. So, if you can take the narrow twists and turns, a car may be worth it. If you don't take a car, the bus does stop right in front of the hotel, which is convenient, assuming there are actually seats for you.
The hotel is located in Praiano, right in the middle of the Amalfi Coast between Amalfi and Positano. It's a beautiful, small town with a nice walk down to the water. Because the town is small, the restaurant and shopping choices are a bit limited. The hotel has a full, reasonably priced bar though and was a fun place to spend our evening.
