Independent, 3 star Hotels in Amalfi Coast

We loved our stay at La Perla. The staff were very helpful. One morning we had to leave 40 minutes before breakfast was due to start. The night before we had asked if they would leave out some cereal or something for us and they agreed, but when we came in at 7am a full spread had already been laid out just for us. Breakfast was great every morning - a big selection and all delicious. The coffee was also perfect. Sitting on the beautiful balcony overlooking the sea... We couldn't ask for more! Our room was not meant to have a sea view, but it did - and it was truly stunning! We had dinner in the hotel one night and it was very good. Every other night we went down to the restaurants at the beach, just ten minutes walk downhill. Our favourite was Il Pirata - the staff were really friendly and helpful and the food and wine were excellent. It's a steep walk back up to the hotel, but it doesn't feel so bad after a bottle of wine! The room itself was small but comfortable and very clean. You need to be fairly physically fit due to all the steps, but the same could be said for just about anywhere on the Amalfi Coast. For the price, you can't beat La Perla.

Great stay. Lovely staff and great location with car park. Its a no frills place - homely rather than trendy.

Amazing service, friendly and speak english. The rooms have little kitchenettes which were awesome for cooking our own meals when we got sick of pizza and pasta, there is a little shop directly below the hotel where we could buy food and wine. Fantastic place, can't wait to visit again. Highly highly recommend :)

Loved this hotel, felt a much more genuine Italian experience than Positano. I will be back!

We were shocked to see negative reviews regarding Hotel La Ninfa. It was one of four hotels we stayed in during our stay in Italy and BY FAR our favorite. The owner and his staff were very sweet and accommodating and we felt far from being cheated as per some of the reviews. Our room was ready when we arrived to Amalfi and was sparkling clean with a breath-taking view. Our room (Rm 6) had a gorgeous view from both its windows, and we could sit on the toilet while staring into the endless ocean, or look down 500 plus feet to the rocky beach below. One of the days there, we braved the beach (just meters away from the hotel entrance, UP the hill) and walked down it's steep steps. We paid the 15 euros extra to get badly sunburned and walked back up the grueling climb to take a nap on the comfortable bed at La Ninfa before dinner. La Ninfa serves a great breakfast and has the BEST cappuccinos! The staff (morning servers and house keeper) were very approachable and friendly and gave great advice for tourist attractions. We were never overcharged, or put in a room that we did not previous agree upon. IF WE EVER MAKE IT BACK TO ITALY, HOTEL LA NINFA IS A MUST!

The most spectacular view from our room. Felt like we were on top of Amalfi, which also made the location a little inconvenient but worth it for the view we got. The staff were exceptionally friendly and even made us fresh omlettes on request every morning. We ended up staying an extra night because we loved it so much.

Our stay was very pleasant, we only used the hotel as a base to go to other areas. It was clean and relatively comfortable although the bed was a little too hard. If you are thinking about staying here a hire car would be a good idea. Even though there are quite good bus links going to various places that stop outside the hotel, a lot of our time was taken up by travelling on public transport. If you are going to use public transport you must buy a ticket from reception before you attempt to board. The hotel has one feature above all else that was much appreciated and that was a man named Antonio. He works for the hotel and on a number of occasions came quite out of the way to pick us up when we had missed the last buses/trains.

The hotel and its surroundings are enjoyable, depending on what your priorities are - Minori is a sleepy little town with not many restaurants or shops. While we were there (3 nights,Wed-Sat) the weather wasn't good, even though it was the end of May &everything in the town closed quite early (before 21.00)- we were left with little choice of places to eat. My advice would be to consider what you are doing and what part of the season it is, because if you want parties with a young crowd, it's not the place for you! Hotel Settebello fitted our criteria - we wanted a cheaper alternative to some of the other towns on the Amalfi coast with good access to other places -and we got that. Minori is quite quiet but the hotel is near to the sea and the bus stop and it is a clean hotel with a nice atmosphere, pleasant staff and at a reasonable price. We were sorry to leave in the end! But we needed a map and the hotel had none. The breakfast was ok, not bad - their was a good selection of cakes, yoghurt but we found that you had to go early to get fruit or the best bread. Our main complaint would be the noise.. our window looked out onto a stone wall which has a busy road on top and the traffic has to beep because of the angles of the road - with the window closed, this did NOT bother us. What did bother us? The noisy people in the hallways -it woke us up very often in all the hotels we stayed in- we wished that the Italians would be asked to be more considerate of the other guests!
