Dint'a Torre Bed and Breakfast

Lovely, quiet place to stay. The beds were comfortable. The room and bathroom were a good size and clean. I loved the fact there was a balcony. I was pleased that we were staying up at Scala rather than with the masses of tourists at Amalfi.

The only negative fact was that the bus stopped working at 6pm on Sunday. So either you do a steep walk up the hill around 45 minutes from Amalfi or pay €70 for a cab.

Property was absolutely amazing, everything seemed new and fresh, rooms were extremely clean, they also clean them everyday. Bed was very comfortable, air condition worked well, bathroom was very cosy. In general the property surprised me with how new and quality everything was. The host were perfect. Even before we arrived, they provided us with information regarding best ways to getting to the property from Salerno, they informed us about closed roads, changes of bus schedule etc. When we arrived, they greeted us very well, and till the end of our stay they provided 24/7 what’s app contact, where they answered any question we had regarding our stay/anything we needed. When we asked they even provided additional plates knives and forks to the room, free of charge. Getting from Amalfi to Pontone and back(where the property is located) is very easy, the bus cruises from 8am to 22pm and stops 200 meters from the property. In general, I was absolutely stunned by that property. It felt like home, there was separate entry for guests, and the entire house was absolutely beautiful, Italian style. Our room also had the big balcony, which even had awning, and shutters, everything was new and well constructed.

The one and ONLY thing I disliked - and that is not something bad, just my personal preference - is the breakfast. As a European used to travelling many countries, when the breakfast is included, I expect it to be “Swedish buffet” style, with a unlimited selection of bread, meat, cheese, veggies, fruits, coffee, eggs, juice etc etc… However, in Dint a Torre the breakfast is served in a bar nearby - and every single day it was a croissant, rusks, jam and coffee or juice. I know this is Italian style breakfast, but for me personally - it is just not acceptable. I would rather pay more and have real, European hotel style breakfast. However, as I said this is my personal preference, and I will still rate Dint a Torre 10/10.

The hostess was very pleasant and nice, she welcomed us and explained to us about the room and what we could do in the area, the apartment was clean when we arrived and every day we cleaned it again, the shower had enough hot water and the room was spacious, we had a great experience.

Good location, the bus stop is 4min away, the room view towards the mountains is amazing, The owners are very helpful and friendly 😊 The breakfast is ok, and the room is quiet and super clean.

The bed mattress is not too comfortable, but it's not a big issue.

Everything

We booked this place for 3 nights through booking.com, initially we informed the host we would arrive between 4-5pm however due to several transportation delays which were out of our control and no wifi or phone connection we were unable to contact the host until 5:30pm. Maria was upset and told us we were disrespectful and irresponsible. We agreed she would leave the key with her mother as she had an appointment. Finally at 8:30 we arrived at Amalfi, we called the host again at this time she was very angry. We took a taxi to Scala, 60 euros later is when we met belligerent, hostile, aggressive and threatening behavior by Maria. After this confrontation we left the establishment with no place to go. In my 30 years of travels I have never experienced anything like this. This woman has no compassion or understanding her behavior was barbaric and unacceptable!
