Campania Beach Vacations

Of all the hotels we stayed in during our 12-day trip, Le Terrazze was the best. The location on the Amalfi Coast is breathtaking, with stunning sea views from our room and the terrace. The blue, white, and red décor gave the place such a fresh and charming feel. The bed was the most comfortable we had on our trip, and the whole hotel was spotless. Breakfast on the terrace was unforgettable—freshly squeezed orange juice, delicious local treats, and that incredible sea view to start the day. The best part was the people—Elisabetta and her dad were wonderful to talk to and so gracious. They made us feel right at home. We left feeling like we had stayed with friends rather than in a hotel.

The hotel was pretty nice, but hard to compare to our 5* hotels in Amalfi and Sorrento. Staff were kind but the hotel is dated. It does have a very local feel, which was a plus. If you want to avoid the chaos of the city traffic, this would be a good option. Breakfast is an ok buffet. Fun night on the small town after meeting some locals. Overall 4 out of 5 for the entire stay.

This is a really nice property with a few highs and lows. The rooms are well done, there are great dining options, the view is spectacular, and it is conveniently located to the pedestrian walkway and shops and restaurants; the lows are the pool, which is small and can only accommodate about 8 people; the hotel is also located right on one of the main streets through the town so sitting on your terrace is not a quiet experience, and the prices are kind of outrageous, cocktails in Eden Bar are 40e and the lobster special at the rooftop restaurant ran over 350e which is really crazy. Staff is very friendly, especially Toni who is the breakfast manager. He is very nice and accommodative but can be a bit much before you get a cup of coffee in you:) Overall it was a very good experience but might consider other options if I am looking for rest and relaxation.

Everything was fantastic. This hotel pays attention to details, which is harder and harder to come by these days. Thank you and see you next time!

GHT… Gorgeous Views, Mixed Service This hotel is stunning—picture-perfect with breathtaking views from the rooms and restaurants. I arrived late and was warmly welcomed by Michele, but my first dining experience at the “1957 Bar Bistrot” felt cold. One young blond server was dismissive, and the manager, Luigi, forgot to pass on my drink order—something I only caught by speaking up. I wish the front desk explained things upfront: no checks at meals (you just give your room number), you can tip directly or charge it to your room, and massages must be paid in cash. Details like these matter, and the staff isn’t forthcoming—ask everything in advance. Breakfast with Rocco was lovely, and my massage with Stefano was outstanding—a must. Lunch at the beach was pleasant, though swimming access is by jumping in, which isn’t ideal for non-swimmers. Housekeeping was disappointing—my room never returned to the crisp, polished standard from check-in, which felt off for a hotel of this caliber. My last night at La Cala delle Lampare finally brought the warmth I hoped for—thank you Rocco, Antonio, and team. Unfortunately, Luigi reappeared, accidentally knocking my belongings off the table and offering only his title in response. Even with some odd energy, I still enjoyed my stay—the property is breathtaking and Instagram-worthy. I may not return, but I do recommend experiencing it at least once. Shoutout to Michele, Rocco, Antonio, Stefano, and Luisa for the bright spots in my visit.
