Pros:

I cannot speak highly enough of our incredible stay at Don Alfonso 1890. We felt as though we were being welcomed home by family. The atmosphere is so tranquil and relaxing, everything embellished tastefully with soft pastels of flowers and lemons and local fauna. The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated with an in-room coffee maker and each day we would return to our room with a tiered platter of desserts and finger sandwiches - exactly what we needed to tide us over before dinner. Nothing was too much and all of our needs anticipated. A visit is not complete without dinner in the on-site Don Alfonso 1890 restaurant. We enjoyed the traditional multi-course set menu. Even though we were stuffed we couldn't leave a bite it was so delicious. The freshest ingredients, presented like artwork. We savored every bite. The included breakfast each morning was also a highlight. Thank you to all of the incredible staff who made our stay so special and especially Olivia, Mario and Ernesto. We will definitely be back.

Pros:

This hotel is special. It is beautifully appointed and the service sets the standard for excellence. It’s beyond 5 stars. Our room and view were lovely and very clean. The property has wonderful spaces to relax outside. The breakfasts were extraordinary. The staff and the owners were warm and tended to our every need with great care and thoughtfulness. They were gracious hosts. We cannot recommend Don Alfonso 1890 highly enough.

Pros:

The Don Alfonso is one of the most incredible properties I have stayed at. We felt like part of the family the entire time and the customer service is the best I have ever experienced. The food is incredible, the staff is amazing and the location is perfect. The “breakfast” that comes with your room is a 5 star full spread of pastries, breads, and whatever you want to order. My wife and I stayed to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary and will come back as soon as we can. Thank you to the entire family and staff for sharing your paradise with us, we loved every second.

Il posto del cuore
Pros:

Il posto del cuore. Location rilassante in giardini fioriti, comfort assoluto, cura dei dettagli commovente, cucina di altissimo livello ("pluristellata"), eppure ti senti a casa (anzi molto meglio!) grazie all'empatia totale della famiglia proprietaria, per la quale non sei mai un "numero". What else?

Pros:

This hotel exceeded all of our expectations! We wish we had booked it for more nights. Unfortunately, they had no openings.
Can’t say enough about the service and the gorgeous property. The breakfast was one of the best we’ve had in any hotel.

Tappa gourmet
Pros:

Siamo arrivati da Don Alfonso alla fine di un tour di una settimana in costiera abbinando la bellezza dei luoghi a una offerta gastronomica di livello.
Ovviamente il motivo principale per cui si soggiorna in questo hotel è per abbinarlo alla cena nell'omonimo ristorante, un'istituzione nel gotha della ristorazione italiana (attualmente 2 stelle Michelin ma in passato ne ha avute anche 3) ma devo dire che è stata una piacevolissima sorpresa, sia per il gusto con cui sono arredate le camere che per la gentilezza sia del personale che di tutti i membri famiglia Iaccarino che, ognuno con il suo ruolo, fanno in modo che durante un soggiorno in questa struttura ci si senta "a casa".
La colazione non è niente di meno di quanto ci si possa aspettare da una cucina di questo livello (non credo di aver assaggiato mai delle ciambelle buone come da Don Alfonso).
Ci ritorneremo senz'altro.

very nice stay
Pros:

very nice hotel. Not cheap but quality has its price. We also had dinner in the restaurant. It was expensive in comparison with other "gourmet" restaurant. If you have the possibility ask to visit the wine cellar.

Best time ever!
Pros:

We received a warm welcome at this family owned hotel and restaurant. They did everything to make our stay very special in arranging for transportation to Sorrento and a visit to Positano. The breakfast is amazing and the cooking class was fun. Make sure you dine in their restaurant and ask to see the amazing wine cellar.

Attention to details & guest experience above all
Pros:

This family owned boutique hotel which is part of the Relais et Chateaux group is a MUST! The complex is a quad surrounded by 'typical' Italian Villas, anchored by their Michelin rated restaurant (had 3 stars in the 2000s, now has 2 stars) which had an amazing price/experience value and was nearly full every night. In the large courtyard annexed by the various villas there is a small-ish pool (which has a couple of spa-like water jets on each side) with a relaxing deck. Proprietor Mario and family/team make a point to see each of their guest every day to say hello and make sure their stay is going well (their motto actually is: "guest services as a vocation" and it shows!).

Since the property only has a few rooms, it never felt crowded (we spent 4 days there and only saw ~5 other couples) and the rooms themselves are very well insulated with good central air.

After 11 days in Italy and having stayed at 4 different hotel - this was by far the best price/quality/value and really the only place where they seemed to really care about their craft!

Not to be missed: -> they have their own farm 5km from the hotel where they grow fruits/vegetable for the restaurants (guests are welcomed to visit, sadly we were not able to make it) AND have an amazing basement crypt/wine cellar.

Tip 1: They make an amazing lemon liquor in house that is not to be missed
Tip 2: Breakfast IS A MUST / an experience on its own - plan to spend at least 45 mins - 1 hour to enjoy in the courtyard.

Outstanding hotel
Pros:

An outstanding boutique hotel and restaurant. It would have been nice to have a room with a view but the room itself was beautiful. The "backyard" of the hotel was a gorgeous area for breakfast, swimming or sunning and simple relaxing.
