Hotel La Certosa

Become like an un welcome guest for the first day or two, then try speaking some Italian and your host Italian family will make u feel more welcome. 700 yr old former Monastery - this is an amazing space and Alfonso will be very helpful if u ask.....

My parents recommended this place after staying here a few years ago. It's a perfect place for someone who has a car, although, there are bus and boat services close by. This is a true gem in the middle of nowhere, but so well connected to everything. Just half an hour away from Sorrento, 45 min away from Positano and the boats to Capri and Amalfi coast right in front of the hotel. It's run by a wonderful family and it feels like family. The hotel's restaurant serves some of the best homemade Italian cuisine I've ever had. The mother of the household bakes fresh pies every day from local ingredients, makes her own pasta and they serve daily catch (fish, seafood) every day. The house wine, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, cheese, veggies, fruits and even limoncello is from the local areas - delicious! Younger son makes delicious cappuccinos every morning. It's quiet. The beach is clean and cozy - one of the best we've visited in Amalfi Coast. Waking up to the sound of the Mediterranean sea right in front of the hotel is delicious. Not a sound. Everything acts like a family. We are a young outgoing couple from NYC who travel a lot and we couldn't be more happier with this place. I'd come here again in a few years and with our children, when we have them. It's both romantic, perfect for a couple, as well as for a family with kids. I'll definitely miss this place! Not even the beaches of Capri, Sorrento and Positano could compare with this place!

The hotel was very clean! The owners were very friendly and helpful with any questions that we asked them. I would recommend this hotel to others! The hotel is right on the water! The hotel is accessible from Sorrento by bus, which is approximately a 40 minute ride, but doesn't seem that long once on it.
