Pros:

Hotel praticamente sulla spiaggia, piccolo, carino e con personale efficiente e simpatico, ottimo il ristorante….la spiaggia e il mare…. Un hotel dove uno si dimentica della macchina….la riprendi alla partenza o quando vuoi visitare i paesi vicini che sono meravigliosi.

Pros:

Struttura sul mare perfetta per un weekend di relax. Buona colazione ed ottimo ristorante. Da migliorare insonorizzazione.
N.b. le camere con vista mare laterale hanno il balcone che affaccia in parte su una proprietà privata con rischio per la privacy e la tranquillità. Ottimi gli infissi

Pros:

I'm reluctant to review our experience to keep this magical place to ourselves, and for fear that it will change. Nicole, Luigi, Guisepi, Michelo, and the rest of the staff/family including Noah the dog, made our stay at Il Cefalo truly enchanting. We coincided with the Festa della Bruna, which took place at the small village church which is only 50 meters away creating the perfect vantage point to take in the festivities ending with the most spectacular fireworks we've ever seen. We loved our stay, the wonderful variety of delicious food, the incredible views, and again, the impeccable service. We very much look forward to being back with our friends at Il Cefalo very soon.
Grazie mille per essere stato così gentile con la mia famiglia. Un abbraccio enorme a tutti!

Pros:

This place is special. Nicole, Michele, Luigi and the rest of the family made this one of the most special vacations we’ve had. As a local said to us. it’s Amalfi 30 years ago. The place is charming in a way that can only come from the authentic hospitality. Do yourself a favour and stay here.

Fantastisk
Pros:

Det var dog et vidunderligt hotel. Der er bare 14 værelser og hotellet ligger direkte til stranden. Der er en hyggelig og familiær atmosfære. Vi kommer gerne igen og foretrækker dette sted frem for turistmagneten på Amalfi kysten.

Pros:

The property and location were great and the staff in the restaurant were lovely along with the food. Unfortunately, the staff at reception were not very accommodating. The room was small and was one of the more outdated ones, but it was functional and comfortable enough for a couple of nights.

Di fronte al mare, in una cornice stupenda

Ottima accoglienza in un albergo sul mare, ben gestito e dotato di un buon ristorante di pesce. Complimenti!

Pros:

La camera era appena stata ristrutturata e quindi in ottime condizioni. La ristrutturazione è stata sapiente e ha restituito una camera che seppur standard è stata ottimamente rifinita. Non all'altezza degli ottimi standard la colazione che risulta poco variegata e con prodotti industriali piuttosto che artigianali. Peccato per il mare sporco e pieno di schiuma.
