This hotel was well appointed with amenities, and absolutely gorgeous. Views were stunning! The restaurant affiliated with the hotel was fantastic. Every staff member was incredibly hospitable and so kind and helpful. Lovely people! There are many stairs to get to the hotel and back to the street, as it is literally built into the mountains. Worth the walk for sure, but can be challenging for those with physical difficulty walking or climbing stairs. Definitely beautiful and serene. Nice sized balconies too for enjoying that view. The breakfast provided was typical Italian breakfast food - coffee, pastries/breads, cheeses, sliced meat, yoghurt, fruit. They also provided cereals, milk, and juice.
Taxis are more expensive since Pontone (the city there) is remote. Buses come by fairly regularly, and the stop is about 10-15 minute walk from the hotel. There are stairs down the mountain to Amalfi too - about a 40 minute walk down. Google maps had the correct walking directions. Not a lot of options for dining in Pontone, as it’s a small town, but the two we tried were both excellent - Ristorante San Giovanni (past the click tower and to the right, very close!) and the restaurant on the premises (I think it was called Ristorante Antico Borgia.)
Pictures show view from balcony and stairs (only a fraction of them) to Amalfi.
