Belvedere, Amalfi Coast

This was our first time traveling south of Italy to Almafi coast. We are very glad we stayed in Conca dei Marini compared to Almafi or Positano city due to the amount of busy tourists the other towns had. It was amazing to experience the views of the coast from a less crowded beautiful hotel. If you are looking for the most value for your money, this is the hotel. The hotel itself is detailed, every tile is hand painted and the look is very old school classic, but not outdated. Definitely get a view room with a terrace, waking up to the ocean and sky is unreal. There is a beautiful pool down the sea stairs, and also a place to jump in the sea as well. The hotel restaurant is excellent and all of the staff (except for one guy who was a little moody), was so amazing and caterered to anything we wanted. We ate breakfast on the amazing terrace, had happy hour spritzes as well as by the pool. The hotel is situated about 1 mile from Almafi and so we took advantage of the free shuttle one day (it ends at 6pm) and took a taxi back. However, it is more enjoyable to see Capri or Positano by boat which you can catch a ferry from Almafi to do that, or book a private boat which the hotel can set up for you. The taxi back from Almafi is 40 euro , but there are buses that run on the hour (sometimes at the half hour), just buy the tickets ahead and check the bus schedule ahead of time. One night we ate at a restaurant and walked about 10 min to Baglio Almafi also very good. I would not walk further than 5-10 min on the road because it is very busy and dangerous to walk. Amazing time thank you again!

A very classy Hotel, with a wonderful pool in an incredible frame of sea and rocks. Silent and nice atmosphere, a really unique location. The restaurant is top notch, for the service and for the quality of the dishes. I definitely suggest it.

Stayed in the midst of Covid ... amazingly it happened and no quarantine required! Well, the hotel is great, great pool, deck for sea swimming, rooms overlooking the sea to see the sun coming up. The food in the restaurant is great and the waiters are great too (Ciao Peppe), as are the other staff. Downside: 4km out of Amalfi, the promised shuttle bus was not working due to fewer guests, public buses were patchy due to roadworks, but it was really difficult to fin out whether/when the buses would run. So we ended up waiting an hour or more for some buses, paid e40 for a taxi back one night. Unfortunately the reception seemed to have not much idea what was going on. Did walk to Amalfi a couple of days but too hot generally to do that, so buses became the main part of the day. Disappointing, which was a shame because the hotel was great otherwise. Would consider hiring a scooter, but a car seems like too much hassle to park.
