Hotel La Conca Azzurra

This place is like the jewel in the crown of the Amalfi Coast! Me and my wife were driving up the coast from Sant Agata through Positano and headed to Amalfi and we couldn???t pick the right place to stop for lunch, until we saw La Conca Azzurra. The restaurant and the entire facility are stunningly beautiful with a great team and a great owner, who showed pride of ownership and took great care of us from the moment we arrived (he even helped us find free parking in front of the restaurant) to the moment we left. The food was incredible and the price are very competitive for the quality and attention to detail they offer. We were seated at the most beautiful balcony - overlooking the coast and the sea underneath. We had a great time and keep ordering food, because we did not want to leave this amazing place. Looking forward to go there again before leaving the coast this week! It adds great beauty in the experience! I would like to say thanks to Chiara and her team who took great care of us, while we stayed there.

From the reception welcome, luggage delivery to the room and well appointed suites just overlooking Conca dei Marini, all was perfect and stunning. The staff went beyond their duties to satisfy any of our wishes. We will be back.

Hotel Welcome - Bags taken to our room while the receptionist showed us around the hotel which was lovely. Bedroom - All rooms have the most magnificent sea view and we had a private balcony. The room was very clean and great housekeeping. Hotel Restaurant - Brilliant food with vegetables grown in their own gardens and olive oil from their orchard. As buses stop at 7pm we had to eat at the hotel most nights as a taxi between the hotel and Amalfi is ???50. The Friday night menu is more expensive and in our opinion not quite as good as mid-week. The owner Salvatore speaks to all of his guests over dinner every night which is a wonderful personal touch. - Breakfast is a selection of pastries, cheese, cured meat and fruit which was great for us. There are hot options available at an extra cost. Bar - The hotel bar wasn't open which was disappointing as we had no where to get a drink at night. I assume this was due to fewer guests at the hotel because of Covid. Sunbathing platform - NOT IMPRESSED! - There is a private sunbathing platform at the hotel which is great however you do have to walk down the cliff and therefore back up heart attack hill when you???re done. However I would say it???s worth it for the view and serenity. The main issues are that there was no snack bar available so you have to bring lots of water down with you. - The real kicker was that we were told it cost ???6 to use the sunbathing platform. At the end of our stay we were told its actually ???6 PER PERSON, PER HOUR!! So if you want to spend a day in the sun (say 6 hours) that???s ???36 per person per day! Travel - There is a bus outside the hotel which takes you towards Sorrento and Amalfi that runs every 30 minutes however the bus was regularly full so you could be waiting an hour. You can get tickets from reception. There is also a boat outside the hotel that takes you direct to Amalfi for ???5 each. The last bus from Amalfi to the hotel is 7pm but make sure to get there early so you get a spot on the bus as a taxi back to the hotel is ???50. TIPS - Lemon tour is worth every penny! For ???25 each you get a tour of the lemon groves, a piece of homemade lemon cake with limoncello and try a lemon from the garden. I would say this hotel is more suited to couples than families.
