Thank you Gianfranco for a wonderful stay!
Taking the time to personally greet his guests at the pier and guide us to his BnB was an extra touch I hadn't expected though was appreciated. He was very helpful to share a local map via WhatsApp so that it was easier to find our way around, also providing recommendations on how to take local transportation and which restaurants were open during a holiday next day.
The room was spacious and had all the amenities I could ask for, plenty of hangers and storage space, extra pillows, an in-room safe, you can tell he takes much care of his accommodations, adding a dehumidifier in the bathroom since the building is partially set into the mountain and even with a regular ventilator it can be humid. Great water pressure and shower, clean, sizeable towels. Bidet available.
Accommodations spotlessly clean, sheets and blanket was warm enough for the chillier nights (in mid-April), pillows were fabulous (memory foam!) The bed was comfortable and set under a retractable sun window, which was great to let in the evening breeze.
Regular and usb outlets next to the bed for charging devices. Plenty of lighting, tv worked well. Good wifi. Electric kettle, instant coffee and tea, and a couple tea cups available in the room.
Expressly written in the rules that cooking in the rooms is not allowed, which is fine for me. Minibar with drinks available. Some people mentioned that there were a lot of rules, they seemed mostly common sense and pretty straightforward requests of a proprietor who's very careful and thoughtful.
Like others have mentioned it's a bit of a climb up some winding stairs up to the hotel which wasn't too bad if you are in moderate shape. I planned ahead and didn't bring a carryon, personally I wouldn't recommend bringing more than a carry on up these stairs, unless you're in terrific shape and I did see others with large luggage.
If there was one recommendation I make--it'd be to mention on the hotel listings websites that terrace access is seasonal. I booked this accommodation in part for the terrace view. This didn't end up being a concern because the view was similar from the front entrance and the rest of the Amalfi coast has plenty of amazing views. read more
