Hotel Relais Villa Annalara

Unique setting, great views, very quiet, great place to relax. Staff very helpful.

Nothing

Lovely stay in Amalfi – great location, nice breakfast, beautiful terrace view, and a very welcoming host.

The terrace has an amazing view and staff are lovely and really helpful in helping you arrive.

For us the location was perfect as although it is further up the road from the main town (about 10 minutes walk) it does mean that it is very peaceful. It is high up from the road (there is a lift) so the views from the breakfast terrace are superb. Salvatore came down to meet us and helped my wife with our luggage while I parked the hire car about 5 minutes up the road in secure parking garage.

Only a couple of minor things: the breakfast was good but I would have liked more choice of fresh fruit and with the small amount of guests perhaps the cooked breakfast could be prepared individually? Also water was only left in the room on arrival.

Amalfi coast is not really a good value for money

My trip to the Amalfi Coast was inspired by two books I read so long ago I can barely recall their storylines, but the spirit of the place stuck in my imagination like glue. Naturally, my expectations were high. Perched between two rocks with a panoramic terrace overlooking Amalfi, Villa Annalara is the quintessential Amalfi hideaway. Ideally located, close to the port, town centre, hiking trails, and the charming paper museum, yet far and high enough to be a tranquil retreat from the bustle below. While the elevator offers welcome convenience when carrying luggage, nothing can beat the stairs if you’re up for a more authentic experience. Though demanding, especially after a day conquering Amalfi’s endless steps, they reward you with breathtaking views, scents of citrus and wildflowers, and a rare, enveloping serenity. I spent six nights here during Holy Week in the Ginestra room which was welcoming, spacious, clean and equipped with everything I needed for a perfect stay. The villa itself is lovely, but it’s Salvatore who gives it its soul, turning it into a place I instinctively started calling home after just a day. His kindness and effortless balance between warmth and discretion makes staying here unforgettable. Salvatore knows this place like no one else and was always generous with advice, tips, and a helping hand — whether it was a cancelled ferry, a sudden change of plans, or the best bus to catch. Thanks to his tireless persistence, I even made it to Capri against all odds, which was no small feat on a day I also had to reach Rome. A simple 10 can’t begin to do Salvatore justice; his hospitality creates an experience you will fondly remember. I’ll be back one day and there’s nowhere else I’d rather stay. It met every high expectation those long-forgotten books planted in my mind, and then effortlessly surpassed them in ways I didn't even expect.

The location of Hotel. Also breakfast was very good

The lift is congested and stair option is difficult for climbing

Top marks for facilities, for friendly & helpful management. I can't recommend this hotel highly enough. Salvatore helped me through difficulties which had been worrying me. Breakfast was a delicious choice of cereals, bacon, scrambled eggs, toast, fruit and a coffee to die for as soon as you emerge from your room.

Great owner. Location is quiet and away from a crowds. Nice view from the roof top. There is an elevator to go up. Great terrace.

Just a little bit outdated interior design, but nothing crazy.
