Il Porticciolo di Amalfi

We were met by Carmela, our host, who was very friendly, helpful and made sure we had a fantastic stay. We had a lovely breakfast that she prepared for us and enjoyed this while sitting on the on the terrace overlooking the sea. Our room was very clean and had a view to die for!!. A short walk along the pathway overlooking the sea bought you back into Amalfi's square where cafe's, bars restaurant's had great food. My wife and myself would thorough recommend anyone wanting to stay at Amalfi, to stay at this picture perfect located B&B and we would definitely stay there again.

Vi hadde booket rom til familie på fem men fikk kun senger til fire personer med beskjed om at dette var hotels.com sin feil. På tross av at vi måtte løse denne utfordringen noe kreativt på egen hånd gir vi hotellet høy score, for dette er en liten B&B med stor sjarm med blant annet god service, renslige rom og god frokost! Og så har det jo sin sjarm å gå opp gjennom byens mange trappetrinn! ;) Anbefaler dette for både par og familier.

We really enjoyed our stay at Il Porticciolo. We choose Amalfi to stay for three nights when exploring the Amalfi coast, and it turned out to be the perfect choice. You can easily reach Ravello (by bus), Capri, Positano and beaches close by (by boat) from there, and enjoy the nice cite centre and restaurants in Amalfi. The hotel is super nice, yet simple. Only five rooms which makes it very personal, and Carmela and her staff is truly helpful and will go out of their way to assist with everything you might need. Their hospitality and kind manners, a long with the view over the bay from the terass (no balconies in the rooms) makes up for what every you might miss in aspects of luxury. Note that there are many steps to reach the hotell which makes it a bit of an exercise when arriving with baggage. We did not miss anything when staying here, even though we always wish for balcony, and perhaps a bar or restaurant in hotels, and I will highly recommend it and for sure go back when visiting the coast again. A more warm, genuine and beautiful experience is hard to find.

Aside from the difficulty in reaching the hotel (not unexpected as this area is very hilly with lots of steps), we were truly impressed. From the start, we had great communication with the proprietor. Once we booked the hotel, she provided us with clear directions leading us to the hotel. She was also helpful in providing the best way to reach the area (bus/ferry), as well as details regarding transportation departure/arrivals times. The hotel was quaint, the room was clean and the breakfast was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be returning.

I came here with my girlfriend for a 3 night stay on a trip across Europe and it was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the Amalfi Coast! We arrived late and the owner was very nice and accommodating for our late check in. The breakfast was served on top of the B&B overlooking the water and the incredible coast. The room was large and included a small kitchen. The owner went out of her way to give us tips on activities and places to go. I hope I can come back and stay at Il Porticciolo again soon becasue our stay really made the Amalfi Coast something we will never forget!

If there is a place to stay in Amalfi, I would definitly recommand this one! The view is just magic and the hosts were really nice! The room was also well furnished, clean and would suit to a lot of people!

Carmela was very welcoming and helpful. Provided us with all information needed before arriving as well as once we arrived. The location has great views.

Beautiful B and B in a lovely setting. Carmela and her husband are excellent hosts who went out of their way to be helpful. Couldn't have been better

We stayed here for a week in June 2013. The hotel has a superb location overlooking the bay in Amalfi, a couple of minutes from the bus/ferry stops. Carmela is the perfect host, we were greeted on arrival and she then made us fresh lemonade. Perfect to cool down after a hot bus journey from Sorrento! She was helpful throughout, and arranged us a transfer back to Naples airport at the end of the trip. Our room was a good size with a well equipped kitchenette and nice shower room. The bed was absolutely enormous and very comfortable, and A/C kept us cool at night. The room was kept spotlessly clean and all fittings are very modern. There was a TV and free internet access throughout the hotel. The jewel in the crown of this place is the roof terrace. It offers simply breathtaking views of the harbour with comfortable chairs, tables and sun shades. Breakfast is served there, which was also excellent - ham, salami, cheese, croissants, toast, jam, cereal, yoghurt, cake, orange and coffee. We rarely needed lunch! The terrace is also free to use at any time, we took dinner and a bottle of wine up there in the evenings a couple of times. I would fully recommend this hotel to anyone, the location and the high standard of service from Carmela make it an absolute no-brainer for anyone looking to stay in Amalfi!
