The best thing about the Palazzo Vingius was the view from our private, little terrace of the water, the town of Minori and people below. There are probably hotels with more stunning views of the Amalfi Coast but they seemed to be more expensive too - so for us, it was lovely to have a reasonably-priced room with a view where we could sit at the end of the day or late in the evening, have a quiet drink and watch the world below.
Staff at the hotel were very helpful, with someone on duty 24hrs/day - and the owner present most of the time during the day.
There is no parking at the hotel but they have access to a private garage which is a bit of a walk away (down lots of steps) and which you have to pay for, but it takes away the worry about keeping up with parking vouchers in the public parking area - and the inspectors were very visible during the day and night.
Our room was small but very clean, with a bathroom that was also very clean and well set up - there was actually room to move around in it.
The only negative was the breakfast - the coffee was weak and not worth drinking, the juice was more like cordial and the croissants were probably the worst we had in all of Italy.

Finding out where to start walking the 100 steps up to Palazzo Vingius was a bit tricky, but once there, we enjoyed a hearty welcome and found a beautiful room, overlooking the beach and part of the town.

If we wanted, we could take our breakfast tray to our room and have our morning coffee on the little balcony, watching what was going on along the street and the beach below us.

The beach in Minori isn't very long, but in Maiori, 10-15 minutes walk along the road, there is a bigger one, and as guests at Palazzo Vingius we were welcome to have free sun-beds and umbrella there.

Trofimena and Andrea both speak well English, and they had answers to all our questions. Going back to Naples, we had planned to take the bus to Salerno and the train from there, but Trofimena told us that there is an early direct bus to Naples, our train tickets are valid also on that bus, and yes, it stops just around the corner of the railway station. Breakfast before leaving so early? No problem!

After travelling round parts of Europe, UK and Scotland, coming to the Palazzo as our final leg of holiday was awesome. Lovely accommodation, Fresh, Clean, very mediterranean with great views from balcony off bedroom, overlooking Minori Beach and up to hills covered with lemon groves and old houses. Newish accommodation, lovely colour schemes. Friendly helpful hosts who spoke english, italian etc. Nice breakfasts to start your day. Would definately recommend a stay here. Very relaxing and fun.

We booked a room with a terrace, at Palazzo Vingius in Minori, on the Amalfi Coast in Italy. Their web site states that, “All rooms are front sea view with terraces.” So in my email I had asked for a top floor room, but did not ask for a terrace, as I believed them that every room had one.

When we arrived, we were indeed shown to the top floor, however, the room was much smaller than it appeared on their Internet site & it had no terrace. We asked to speak to the manager. After a few minutes the proprietor, Pisani Trofimena came with another lady. She said that the “porter ” had made a mistake & given our room to someone else. This lady and her friend confronted us and were very rude, both using raised voices, telling us she’d given us a room on the top floor as we’d requested.

Despite our insistence, she refused to rectify the error, until 2 days later. Then she gave us a room with a terrace, on the bottom floor, for our remaining two days. To add insult to injury, every time we passed by the front desk to go out, she harrassed us with a remark about the situation.
