He knows absolutely everything about each town and his knowledge of the area was incredible! We spent our day not only taking in the gorgeous views of the Amalfi coast but also learning so much about the area and the life and culture there. Luigi's sweet nature made this a highlight of our entire time in Italy! Amalfi is one of the most relaxing, gorgeous places in the world I have ever been! It is even better than Nusa Lembongan in Indonesian. Our tour was fantastic! He showed us each nook and corner of this beautiful coastline. It was a wonderful experience! Luigi is a warm and friendly person and we had a wonderful time! I highly recommend Amalfi coast tour! His kindness and his extremely professional service will make your time on the Amalfi truly unforgettable!

He has an intimate knowledge of all things along the Amalfi Coast. His excellent recommendations both during and after our tour(as well as his friends recommendations along the way)were off the beaten path or a quiet haven within a bustling village. The tour was never rushed. He had stops he thought we would enjoy from our conversation and adjusted the tour for impromptu stops if we had questions about certain things. I recommend booking his tour on your first full day of your stay along the Amalfi Coast, as it helped us to plan our excursions during the remainder of our stay. Thank you, Luigi!

We did a lot of research and ended up with Sorrento FIrst Choice for our tour. It is not the biggest company but they bend over backwards (not literally) to give you want you want. I mean, you pick the exact itinery, or you tell them what you like and they come up with something, and you can change it on the fly. Every place they suggested to us was excellent, and most coincided with my personal research into the area. The vehicle was roomy, new, clean, and comfortable with excellent views out of the windows. The driver, Stephanie, spoke English so well I could actually understand her without straining, and seemed to know just about everything. She kept up a running commentary most of the time which was like an audio guide without having to wear headsets. The price was a bit on the low side too in an area where full day private tours usually run about $400. Note: I am not connected with the company in any way; just had a good time on our tour.

Our experience with Roberto was the highlight of of Europe…read more Normally, I'm an independent traveller. I enjoy finding hidden places, traveling like a local in cities, and generally immersing myself in a place. I do look for advice--from friends, local residents, and my amazing travel agent. I am not a cruise person, but I found myself on a cruise in Europe with family. 8 ports in 10 days...if you want the sampler platter of the Continent, not a bad way to go. Problem: How to do more than stop in a city and check a box? This is where Amalfi Coast Destination came in. I had never been on a private tour by car before, and though I've done a number since, this was the best experience I (or my family) has had. Roberto is an amazing guide and driver. He's from the Amalfi Coast and knows just about everyone. We even ran into his father in Ravello. He gives you access to a lot of places that the tour buses won't stop at. And completely customized to your needs--we wanted to throw Pompeii into the mix and were able to do so without being rushed. The highlights: *Touristy stuff: A boat ride through a grotto, and a little miniature of a town *Shopping in Amalfi *Breathtaking views and photo stops the whole way--including a posh hotel not open to random tourists *Wandering the square of Ravello *The most amazing meal ever: balcony view down the gorge to the Med at Ristorante San Giovanni, a rustic hand crafted meal. Roberto even brought the limoncello. *Pompeii Dock to dock service in a comfortable Mercedes mini-van that could easily accommodate 6. It was a memorable day with family, one we will never forget. If you are headed to the Amalfi Coast this is the way to go: in style.

We knew it was beautiful, and that was enough to warrant a visit. I was lucky enough to use Timeshare points in exchange for a hotel and found Hotel La Ninfa through that site. We had such high hopes while looking online but on the bus ride down, my friend and I convinced ourselves it wouldn't look that great in person. It seemed too good to be true. We missed our stop on the bus and we were dropped off at the 5 star hotel on the block. We must have looked out of place because the bellman gladly gave us a ride up the road. If you've been to the coast, it's not necessarily a road you would want to take a stroll on. Finally, we were at the front door of Hotel La Ninfa. We were buzzed in by friendly Maurizio who had been expecting us. We walked down a few stairs to the very view we thought didn't exist. Our jaws immediately hit the floor. The large archways allowed a beautiful, unobstructed view of the water. My friend quickly pointed to her face, "tears, I have tears." It was the most beautiful thing I've seen in person. Prior to our visit, I requested a sea-view room and Maurizio set us up with "the most romantic room." Well, good thing we were romantic friends (not at all) and snuggled up in our corner room. The room itself is tiny, not much space. Good thing at the time I didn't give a crap about King size beds, moving room and bending over in the shower. I'm not sure if all the rooms are like this, but we didn't care. We had the same beautiful view and it didn't matter. Look at my pics, I literally woke up to a sea view. I didn't have to get out of bed. Maurizio and Carmen made our experience amazing, and offered great advice on places to go and things to do. The breakfast had Nutella, I don't need to say anything else. Go to the Amalfi Coast. Stay somewhere where you'll get a view, deal with the rest. You won't regret it!

It's 1km away which according to the taxis costs €20. Other than that the bus is the most convenient way to get to the hotel it drops you off right in front of the hotel but you have to make sure you are close to the front of the bus to tell them to need to get Off bc they drive very fast past your stop. The bus only runs every 20mins as well. You can purchase a ticket at the tourist office for €1.30 each person and you stamp it on the bus. When we got to the hotel the view was amazing and there was a beach below the hotel but it wasn't open during the time that we went (mid May). We got there early so our room wasn't ready so we left our stuff and came back a few hours later. When we came back the worker asked for our passports and 2€ ( I assumed for city tax ) he came back to our room and gave us our passports back and not the change back since I gave him a €10. My boyfriend asked where the change was and acted very confused and I think he thought it was a tip.. but now I think it was a 2€ charge for holding our bags since the next morning we paid €3 city tax. So that was annoying. The shower/bathroom had mold in it and the headboard was old and dirty. The air conditioner made weird noises all night and sounded like water was dripping on the floor but it wasn't. The hotel set up is weird.. our room was right near the breakfast area.. about 2 steps away when we opened our door was where they served breakfast.. so at 7am we had a wake up of the staff setting up for breakfast. I felt like we had no privacy bc we were able to hear the workers who were 10 feet away out in the hallway where we check in at. Over all, I can't say I would recommend due to cleanliness and lack of communication about the 2€ and how difficult it was I get to it at first.

It was approximately €20 each way per person and left at 9:00 AM. Tickets were straightforward to buy, but the directions to wait for the boat were inaccurate. The kiosk lady pointed in the general direction of the docks, so we just followed the other people with tickets like ours. Make sure to bring sunscreen while waiting in the heat. We were told the boat would match the name on the ticket, which it did. The timing was off... We should have known "10 minutes before 9:00 AM" really means 10 minutes late in Italy. Nevertheless we made it and were on our way to Capri. The ride was smooth and the boat was clean. Seems like the only thing to look for when shopping around this and other shacks is private vs. group boat. Otherwise the prices are about the same. Hooray for market competition. They tried to convince us to buy a round trip ticket through them and almost got the best of my paranoia... Fortunately my husband knew tickets and timing weren't as scarce as she was saying. You could always go with a different company. Overall decent experience though.

My husband and I while planning our honeymoon loved the look of it. Plus, parts of it were originally an 11th Century Fortress (the hotel was built around it). Pretty cool. The grounds were gorgeous. The beach was fun to use. I loved the mix of Mediterranean and Arabic. It also helps that the Amalfi Coast of Italy is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. Around every crazy bend on the S.S. 163 Costiera Amalfitana, is breath taking, and not for the faint of heart (the road is full of S curves, and no shoulder to speak of). For that I would take the bus to get to Amalfi/Saraceno. We were coming from Sorrento, and the drive was amazing. When staying here, spend time in the town of Amalfi if possible, its amazing as well. But I'm getting off topic here. Back to the hotel, The room we stayed in had beautiful blue and gold accents throughout from the tiles, to the stained glass and painted ceilings. I believe this was the only hotel in Italy I actually got a bathtub in, now that I think about it! The view from our room was perfect for sunset and sunrise over the Mediterranean. The staff were all very nice. There was a shuttle from the town of Amalfi to the Hotel, which was great. Realistically most of our night was spent just wandering around the areas and grounds of the hotel. We didn't eat dinner service here, due to being on a tight budget ... we still had a fair amount of our trip left. But the menu and ambiance for dinner service looked stunning. We were even so fortunate to stay on an evening when there was a fireworks show at Midnight. It was quite spectacular (and random, we never found an explanation for the fireworks) actually. We woke up early the next morning and I watch the sherbet colored skies over the mediterranean from my room as I got ready. The breakfast buffet that was included with our room was very well stocked and had a nice selection of proteins, pastries and beverages. If your budget allows, and you are in the area, I would definitely recommend this hotel!
