Botanico San Lazzaro

I wanted a little beach action so took 1hr 8 min train ride from Rome to Napoli and hired car to Maiori, Italy just for 1 day/night. Hotel was recommended. Yes the view is amazing up on a cliff. Yes l'd agree with a few reviewers if you have mobility issues this hotel is not for you!! There is a lift and there is someone to assist with luggage at ground level. You will have to climb stairs after the lift ???...about 25-30 steps give or take there is no way around this so beware before you book. They aren't bad and shouldn't deter you from staying if in pretty good shape in terms of health. I seen few older couples handle those steps without issue !! Eveything was beautiful my only compliant was the smell of the bathroom sink water or the sink faucet itself in room 303!! Thursday June 12th. I couldn't tell if it was the faucet or the water supply but nonetheless It was awful! Despite the beautiful view I couldn't wait to leave the room because of that smell.i used the bottle water to brush my teeth it smelled so badly. The food was good, live saxophonist was the highlight. The hotel is beachfront just a quick walk across the street and can take towels ! Beach is swimmable but many pebbles! There is a beautiful well maintained pool on the premises! Saw a whirlpool. Close at 630 if I remember correctly. l'd only go back if I was assured the smell was gone! There was a complete shower in the room. Water pressure decent. Temp in room was very good !!

We were staying at a hotel nearby and at night the Botanico San Lazzaro lit up was the view from our balcony. We weren???t sure whether we could pop in for a drink as non-residents but were warmly greeted by both the doorman and receptionist and escorted up in the funicular lift. We were shown around and offered a choice of seating areas; the service was excellent and prices very reasonable. Views are amazing!
