Of the 10 days we traveled throughout Italy, this was our favorite place that we stayed. When we got dropped off in front of the hostel, we were a bit apprehensive because the building from the outside doesn't give much hint to how great the interior space is. We stayed in a private double room with our own bathroom. It was absolutely beautiful- a great mixture of the rustic original and modern renovations. The breakfast was unbelievable by hostel standards- cakes and yogurt and fruit and cereal. The large shared kitchen and eating area was great. In general , it didn't feel much like a hostel (At least the part we were in). There were several families and couples in their 30's and everything was very peaceful and nice. The only potential drawback is the location, especially if you are in the area for just a few days. To get into Amalfi or Positano or any of the other coastal town you'll likely want to visit, it means taking a bus or sometimes two (or a bus and a ferry). The location was nice in the sense that it didn't have the overcrowded tourist feeling of the towns right on the coast, but it was less convenient. Fortunately, the bus stop in San Lazarrro is at the piazza, directly in front of Beata Solitutdo. Overall, highly recommended.

A great little hostel. The hosts are very friendly and helpful, and know everything there is to know about the Amalfi coast, having lived there most of their lives. The hostel has great facilities-self-catering kitchen, free WIFI, comfy beds, safe storage, clothes washing and drying facilities. The bus-stop and grocery store are 10m from the front door, and the Amalfi coast only a short bus ride away. I thoroughly recommend this place.

Huge lounge and kitchen area, very comfortable & spacious bedroom and bathroom. There is also a roof with cloth lines & pegs available for hanging your laundry. The hosts, Paolo and his wife, are the best I have ever met in my six week travel. They have the latest timetables and help you plan your itinerary. Paolo knows his area well and I followed his suggested route without problem. After I checked out, the bus to Napoli didn't wait for me for just a few more seconds. Helpless, I went back to ask Paolo for assistance. Never did I expect him to drop everything he was doing and offered to drive me to catch the bus! Though we failed to catch the bus, he dropped me off at the nearest train station so I could continue with my trip. Otherwise I would have to wait for another 3-4 hrs. Paolo, you're the best host and a friend indeed!

As far as accomodation goes you cannot get a more relaxed and friendly place to stay. We stayed in a clean pleasant cabin. The owners go out of their way to make you feel welcomed and comfortable. We will definately be back to stay!
