Amalfi Hotels for Pleasant and Comfortable Stay

Added: 06/21/2006

Located nearly 169 miles southeast of Rome, 38 miles southeast of Naples, 21 miles west of Salerno and 11 miles east of Positano, Amalfi is a renowned tourist destination, famous for its scenic beauty, warm climate and hospitality. Frequented by many visitors from all over the world, this resort town offers its guests a wide selection of accommodations, from large-scale Amalfi hotels and luxurious villas to small yet comfortable houses for rent.

Possibly one of the most popular beach resorts in Italy, Amalfi boasts a wide variety of lodging, dining and entertainment options to offer to its visitors. Among the most widely reputed lodges available here are Excelsior Grand Hotel, Hotel Belvedere, Hotel Luna Convento, Hotel Lidomare, Hotel Santa Caterina, Hotel Miramalfi, La Bussola and Villa Lara just to name a few.

Located two miles north of Amalfi at Pogerola, Excelsior Grand Hotel is a first-class lodge known for its unconventional structure. Each of the guest rooms is angled toward the view, so that guests can enjoy the first glimmer of dawn and last rays of sunset. All rooms are individually designed, with good reproductions and antiques. Provided by bus and boat is the transportation to and from the private beach. Hotel facilities include two restaurants, lounge, bar, pool in natural grotto, 24-hour room service, laundry services, babysitting and non-smoking rooms.

Undoubtedly the most luxurious of Amalfi hotels, Hotel Santa Caterina is a traditional old choice that still reigns supreme. Opened in 1880, it was destroyed by a rock slide in the early 1900s, resulting in rebuilding on a safe site. Here you'll be offered a large swimming pool, a gym, a dun deck, an open air restaurant and a cafe. Guests are also offered an elevator that will take them down to a private beach. Guest rooms are tastefully furnished, most featuring private balconies with the sea views. All bathrooms are spacious and comfortable. Visitors can take advantage of the following hotel facilities: two restaurants with outdoor dining, bar, 24-hour room service, laundry service, dry cleaning, babysitting and non-smoking rooms.

Ranked with the best Amalfi hotels, second only to Santa Caterina, Hotel Luna Convento boasts an eighth century cloister founed by St Francis of Assisi. Its long corridors are lined with sitting areas, and all guest rooms have modern furnishings, terraces and sea views. The private beach and the gorgeous pool are worth a stay in this magnificent lodge. Hotel facilities include two restaurants, bar, massage, outdoor swimming pool, babysitting, 24-hour room service, laundry service and dry cleaning.

Recognized as one of the best Amalfi hotels, Hotel Belvedere originated as a private villa in the mid-ninth century and was transformed into a hotel in the 1960s. All of its guest rooms range in size and shape and have terraces overlooking the water. An interior elevator takes guests down to the path to the sea and the pool. Among the hotel facilities are restaurant, two bars, outdoor seawater pool, laundry service, dry cleaning and 24-hour room service.

Inspired by the charm of the nineteenth century constructions, La Bussola is the most fashionable of Amalfi hotels, endowed with refined tapestries and panoramic balconies. The guests can enjoy Mediterranean hospitality which makes Amalfi inhabitants known worldwide. Superbly located, the hotel is just minutes from the outstanding eleventh century cathedral and a few steps away from the seashore. Guests are offered a variety of facilities, including a restaurant, breakfast room, meeting rooms, American bar, TV room, roof-garden solarium and parking space.
