I’m hesitant to leave a review because I don’t want people finding out about this amazing hotel. It was the best stay we have had in Italy and possibly worldwide. It is such a beautiful property with the staff taking such care of every inch of the gardens and surrounding. Our nightly dinners were incredible and we loved sitting down at the swim area. Staff are absolutely incredible.
Can not fault this wonderful place. Rooms right beside the Med - just magical. The views and general ambience are fabulous.
Thank you Antonio in particular for looking after us at every meal. You epitomised Italian hospitality.
We hope to come back someday - we loved it.
This hotel has a family run feel, and their kindness and attention to detail did not disappoint.
We had half board, and so enjoyed breakfast and dinner at the hotel. The food was impeccable- every evening they had a set menu with 2 choices which I felt meant that all the ingredients were fresh and the dishes made with the utmost care. The chef made beautiful food every evening.
The view of the sea is unmatched; there is a little concrete deck where they put out chairs and a set of stairs for you to get in the water.
The location is walking distance to Amalfi and also the villages nearby- Minori and Māori. The hotel staff would assist us in the best route to take.
I would highly recommend a stay here for a couple of nights while exploring the area- the only complaint (and I must say it was very minor for us) was that the bar before dinner was somewhat limited (in that it did not open until maybe 6? As it was in the restaurant) although this was down to it being family run so I cannot complain properly here.
Wonderful, caring staff and a memorable stay. Thank you!
My husband and I just returned from a 6 night stay at Villa San Michele. It was wonderful. We had a room with a terrace. We found the communication excellent- before we arrived there was prompt response to our questions.
Found the staff and the family wonderful. The hotel arranged a scooter rental for us and we spent the days touring a few spots. BUT STILL -our favourite memory of the 6 days on the Amalfi coast was having breakfast in the morning... and sitting on the terrace having tea in the afternoon, or wine in the evening.
We concur with many of the reviews - be prepared for stairs - ie it is not a place if you have mobility issues. My husband had a few stomach issues while there, and though there were set menu choices each night, I found they were able to provide solutions for him if the meals were not going to agree with him. We are not very adventurous when it comes to food - but we found the choices to be quite well prepared and tasty. The breakfast was large - enough for us to have some leftovers at lunch. (Which was encouraged). The family was always responsive to questions ,helping to arrange taxi, laundry service, the scooter, explaining bus/ferry schedules... and on our final day as we were leaving, Rosa sprinted to flag down a bus for us.... picking up our bags as she ran by!!
We felt like family. Our only regret? It wasn't long enough.
Excellent hotel. Location is spectacular - views from all areas are breathtaking. The breakfast was perfect - in a perfect setting. The evening dinners were delicious - true home cooking Amalfi style. And the staff were all really friendly.
