L'Antico Episcopio

Posizione e pulizia

The place is beautiful, the staff go beyond themselves to help you with detailed tips and planning. The place is spotless and newly renovated, having the charm of a medieval village carved in the rock with the amenities of modern life. Breakfast is good, specially considering how hard it's to bring supplies. Croissants are fresh and free but there's a charge for eggs. The view from the window is breath taking.

This is true for almost every hotel or room in the Amalfi coast: lots of stairs and expensive parking, not even guaranteed. We were off season and when we arrived there was only one place available. 2 EUR per hour, 15 EUR daily. Weather was perfect for us but I think the room could get warm in the upper level (sleeping area) in the summer since the AC is at floor level and cold air stays down. A fan should solve the problem.

My stay at Lantico Episcopio, though brief, was absolutely delightful. Katia, the host, was exceptionally kind and attentive. She was extremely helpful, providing valuable local information and even offering an umbrella when it started raining unexpectedly. As I arrived before the official check-in time, she graciously allowed me to leave my luggage at reception, which was much appreciated. I stayed in the small Twin Room, which features the beds and the bathroom on a mezzanine level. Despite its compact size, I felt incredibly comfortable because the entire interior design is exceptionally well-executed and beautiful, incorporating the highest quality materials—wood, ceramic, and stone. The mattresses were also wonderfully comfortable. I particularly appreciated the attention to small details, such as the cotton pads, cotton swabs, toothbrush kit, and the selection of complimentary teas and jellies. Lastly, I highly recommend this place for its tranquil location, away from the hustle and bustle of Amalfi's main crowds and frenzy.The Pontone village itself is very cozy and charming, with the basilica Sant Eustachio and several hiking routes located just uphill. It’s only a short walk of a few kilometers to Scala. I will definitely be returning here for a longer stay. The only minor improvements I would suggest for the Twin Room are: The addition of a small coffee table to accompany the two armchairs. The inclusion of a coat rack or hanging spot near the entrance, perhaps underneath the staircase.

The place was in and extremely beautiful and peaceful location. Katia was really helpful and the room was very comfortable and clean

Katia is such a lovely host providing useful information beforehand, warmly welcoming me upon my arrival and taking her time at check in for a lovely chat and information about pontone and hiking. communication on arrival time and check in was easy and reliable. breakfast was served in the common area and was generous and delicious. my room and bathroom were split level, newly renovated and equipped with well chosen traditional wooden furniture and minimal decoration which created such a lovely atmosphere. i loved the two armchairs positioned in front the big window with stunning views on ravello and the sea. i enjoyed my stay very much and highly recommend - also perfect for hiking.
