Locanda Costa Diva

The setting was stunning, most of the walkways were under citrus trees full of lemons. The view from our room was lovely, the staff was exceptional, the food was delicious. Philippe and Domenic made us feel like family. We would highly recommend.

Beautiful place

How can I express my disappointment after traveling for two days straight to reach my dream destination on the Amalfi coast well. Well to begin with I became very familiar with the upper parking lot as I waited for 42 minutes for the bellhop to come and take my luggage I assume he was very tired as he only took one piece of luggage my friend and I drag their suitcases down endless lights of wobbly steps to finally arrive at our room. Save it. Now I use the term room loosely I believe my closet at home is slightly larger toilet paper was scarce the sheets were itchy and once we shut the door it felt similar to being in prison. Not want to get down easily my friend and I made our way to the terrace for lunch overlooking the Amalfi coast we envisioned fresh bread and grilled seafood. Two hours later a couple of glasses of warm wine rubbery octopus with a green salad minus the greens and for muscles our lunch was complete. I of course could go on and on about what a disappointing experience it was but the icing on the cake was a beautiful breakfast that was served on the terrace which consisted of jam and Italian version of Twinkies one yogurt if you were lucky to get one yeah two pieces of soda two pieces of fruit and a coffee if you were lucky enough to flag someone down. Hungry and sweating we left and dragged out luggage afterwards. Theses people are the most unfriendly and inhospitable hosts I have encountered in Italy

Amazing location directly on the cliffs leading down to the Mediterranean sea. The terrass slopes held numerous lemon, orange and olive trees. Staff was very friendly and helpful. A perfect base for exploring the amalfi coast!

This place is amazing. Quiet and beautiful. We had the best 2 nights there and didn’t want to leave. The location is wonderful

not really what we expected. Our room was quaint but the patio was wooden with much need of boards replaced. There were obviously better tiled patios. Bathroom was small

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast had a great variety and all meals were excellent.

So pretty & charming. Amazing views over the water & cute little terraces at each room. Staff so pleasant & welcoming.

We cannot believe this hotel scored 9.2 on Hotels.com. Our room appeared to be a converted shed, it was small, badly lit, with the advantage of having the function space for weddings as it’s roof. We were lucky enough to stay whilst a wedding took place - at no time did anyone in the hotel mention we may be disturbed by anyone let alone a whaling Italian pub singer singing 80s British music badly. The room was cluttered with chairs that weren’t needed, the wardrobe wasn’t fixed to the wall so opening both heavy doors caused it to fall forward. The are outside was poor, it was not only completely away from the other rooms but appeared to be the only room with no tiled area instead we had dilapidated boards patched up badly in places (and not patched at all in others) with an abandoned jucuzzi and leaking outside tap. The breakfast was by far the worst I think we have ever experienced in an Italian hotel. The boiled eggs were frozen, the chopped fruit was tinned, there were some biscuit/cake things that didn’t move at all whilst we were there, the scrambled eggs were dried up, crispy on the edges and the juice was watered down. Just awful, as shown in the photos below - you won’t see see this room featured on their website.

A very nice stay at Costa Diva. The room was a lot smaller than expected but the view over the sea on the small balcony/outside area made it worthwhile. The restaurant is lovely - a stunning location under lemon trees looking over the coast. The food was really good - the pasta with lemons and oranges was absolutely beautiful. Breakfast was standard cold meats and cheese etc. Staff very friendly and helpful. It's worth noting Costa Diva is not directly in the centre of Praiano, but there is a local bus that can take you to the centre and the SITA bus stops directly outside the hotel which goes to Positano/Amalfi/Sorrento etc. You are, however, a short walk from the Marina which is beautiful, and a nice, quiet spot when compared to Positano/Amalfi etc. Just be prepared for lots of stairs all around the Amalfi coast!
