Hotel La Conca Azzurra

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.

Beautiful Hotel in a very lovely corner of the Amalfi Coast. Quiet, romantic and very atmosferic, yet close to Positano, Amalfi and Capri. The owner is extremely attentive, professional and kind, and always available for any necessities you may have. The rooms have a beautiful view overlooking the sea, with fantastic views from the hotel of the islands of Li Galli and Capri! The hotel Also has an excellent restaurant, which is an added bonus for who wants to have a relaxing stay and enjoy the romantic atmosfere of the coast with very delicious, fresh, typical food after a day or sightseeing. I highly recommend it! Made our experience of visiting this beautiful and very atmosferic part of Italy even more unforgettable.

Looking out ecstatically from the Calajanara restaurant ( having just swum in the deep blue Med. below ) over the moonlit sea of Ulysses and the Sirens to the magical Faraglioni of Capri on the horizon , the genius loci of the place , like Arthurian Tintagel, would have been more than enough to make for a moment inside myth...but there is even an extra, the distinguished, charismatic host Salvatore Criscuolo, with his discreet finesse and a touch of Oscar Wilde's wit, not to mention the exquisite cuisine, made our stay absolutely exhilarating and unforgettable.
