Charterhouse of St. Giacomo

Great place up on the hills in a quiet area. Hotel provide a shuttle to the main Sorrento area back and forth. Great friendly staff, excellent breakfast and a nice bar and pool area. Rooms are very comfortable and the view is spectacular. I will definitely recommend this place.

Reasonable location, about 20 minutes walk uphill from Amalfi ferry, but don't do it with luggage as the road is narrow in parts and busy with traffic! Great view from our room and the air conditioning was a life-saver. We didn't know, but they can help you with transfers from the ferry and to/from the aiport. Would have been good to know that before we paid 30EUR for a 4-minute tuk-tuk ride up the hill when we arrived, and we had also booked the bus to the airport before we got there. You can't have your own food and drink here, which we thought was a miss as it meant we had to eat out every night. One night in particular we just wanted to grab a pizza and sit on the terrace to enjoy with the view but we weren't able to do that. Overall, okay place to stay but I think I'd try somewhere else next time.

We enjoyed the hotel accommodation - lovely views to bed the sea, spacious, comfortable and beautiful linen. We found the pool and sea swimming areas to be inviting and well staffed, the food great and parking was included. The staff were really lovely, professional and helpful.
