“In my opinion, this family-run hotel distinguishes itself with striking Amalfi Coast views and direct sea access-a rare find. Its cliffside perch is a strategic launchpad between Positano and Amalfi, ideal for explorers. However, be prepared for the area's tourist-centric fare; the personalized service and views may compensate for that.”
