Conca dei Marini Emerald Grotto Hotels

"About 2000 feet above the Amalfi coast Road. Not terribly convenient unless you are driving or renting a car. But the switchback road from seafront up to the hotel is an adventure in itself. The views are stunning and the balcony/decks off of the rooms are bigger than most hotel decks For all of their clientele. Quite luxuriously appointed and immaculately maintained."

"Excellent family run hotel, the entire staff was superb. I know they were very patient and attentive to us which we really appreciate. I hope I get to go back and visit during summer break "

"Transportation to downtown limited but hotel is clean and comfortable "

"Nice place in a nice friendly community. I took a day trip to Positano. Nice. But it had a feel that it caters to tourists at the expense of authenticity. Parianno was the exact opposite. There is a quaint restaurant down the street. The same staff were there each night. The grew to know me and seemed happy to see me. I was out running one morning as I do every other day. One morning later in the week as I ran by, one of the waitresses seemed to be waiting for me and gave me a pastry as I ran by. I enjoyed my time there. "

"Great stay at Hotel Belvedere. Absolutely breathtaking views of the coast from the hotel. Breakfast was great. The staff was super friendly and extremely helpful figuring out how to navigate to and from our excursions. Great location, it felt peaceful and isolated from the busy areas, but still less than 15 minutes from Amalfi town."

"The room was clean and the view was spectacular!"

"Fabulous location "

"The service was outstanding and what makes this hotel worth the price. Stunning views and beautiful rooms aside, the warm welcome and attention to every detail of Rosita and staff make this the among the best stays on the Amalfi coast."

"This place is incredible! An amazing cliffside setting with direct access to the emerald water of the Mediterranean. However, because of its setting, there are a lot of stairs (not for those who are out of shape). There are 165 steps down to the accommodation from the main road (staff helped with luggage) and another 300 steps down to the water. That said, this is a spectacular location and a wonderful place to stay. Clean well-appointed rooms. We stayed in a room with our own deck area and private hot tub. Other rooms share a communal hot tub. Great made-to-order breakfast is included. Very friendly and helpful staff. Nearby restaurants within walking distance. Parking is very limited and driving and parking along the Amalfi Coast are tricky and tight. We drove and found parking along the road with our small car. Keep the hotel posted with your method of travel (car, driver, taxi, etc.) so that they can anticipate your arrival. Try lunch at the nearby seaside restaurant only accessible by the water (they will pick you up at the hotel dock area for free). Can't recommend this place enough."
