Hotels Near Sanctuary of Our Lady of Sorrow (Sancturio Maria Santissima Addolorata) in Amalfi

Myself and my boyfriend stayed at Hotel Residence for 10 days and we would definitely come back if we are ever traveling to the Amalfi coast again. Room - The room was great, however, this is the only area where, if I would ask for anything to be improved, it would be this. When we first checked in we were given the wrong room as we requested a room with a bath tub. This was a honest mistake by the staff and we were given the room we asked for the next day. However, the air con system was broken in the room. We complained about this and was assured a maintenance man would be sent to fix it the following day. In the meantime we were given another room for the night which had air con. When the air con was fixed in our original room it then broke again which meant the hotel provided us with fans and replaced the whole unit itself. Once this was done it worked perfectly, but obviously the constant moving about and heat was a little frustrating. The hotel compensated us for this inconvenience and we were very grateful for their generosity. The room itself was beautiful. The bath tub with jets was great but very powerful! The curtains completely blocked out any sun and the room was cleaned every day. The balcony was lovely for picture taking and people watching. Location - the location of the hotel is absolutely perfect. Right in the hussle and bussle of the town. The bus stop to Ravello is literally opposite the hotel and the stop for Positano and Sorrento is a little further down. The shop to buy the tickets for the bus is conveniently next door to the hotel which is also where we brought snacks and drinks. Service - the service in the hotel is absolutely superb. Every member of staff is so polite and helpful. The only thing they ask is no hot food being brought inside the hotel and that you leave your key at reception whenever you go out which was no bother to us. My boyfriend actually proposed to me on the trip and he organized a bottle of Prosecco and a fruit bowl to be in the room the night of the proposal. The hotel staff also gave us a bottle of Prosecco when we had issues with the air con which was very generous. They also helped us find out how to buy bus and ferry tickets when we asked. Breakfast - lastly the breakfast. Breakfast was included in our stay however we did not have any other meal at the hotel like the dinner as it was quite expensive for us and not what we preferred to eat. There’s lot of great alternatives in the amalfi town instead. However, the breakfast was absolutely amazing. It’s served in the restaurant 7-10 each morning and you order from a slip what you would like. I had the English breakfast and occasionally the pancakes which were amazing! You’re also given croissants on the table and water and can order whichever hot drink you’d prefer. We really enjoyed the breakfast and thought the variety was great. Overall, we would definitely come back and we absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Residence!

A structure located on the Amalfitan coastal promenorion. Visual from the stunning rooms, very friendly and comfortable staff as never before, very clean rooms, excellent breakfast. I would strongly advise him who wants a beautiful romantic weekend.

Well first of all we visit Minori every year and usually stay at Villa Romana which is a particular favourite of ours. This hotel is ideally placed and the family who own the hotel are beautiful. The decor is antiquated and very authentic, however, my other half is celiac and allergic to gluten/wheat. The choice for her for breakfast was very very poor and in general, the breakfast was a real let down. My other half was offered 2 pieces of gluten free bread on the first and second day, gluten free croissant on the third day and back to 2 pieces of bread the rest of the week. For everyone else, not everyone wants to eat salami, cheese and salad or hard boiled egg and some pastries every day. There are plenty of pastry options and there is a bacon and scrambled egg option, however the bacon was vastly undercooked and the egg was baked and was burnt every day which ruined the taste. Our main complaint was that we were put in a very small room and as the temperature in Minori was between 35 and 38 each day the air conditioner in our room did not work. We asked for this to be resolved every day but nothing was ever done. As I stated the family who own this hotel are really lovely people and were polite and tried to do their best for us but little things let this place down. The solarium on the roof was promising however the sun loungers were dated and on one occasion broke when I was lying on it resulting in me falling back against the wall and scratching my back badly. They had a blow up jacuzzi as their dipping pool!!! If these minor faults were ironed out and people with allergens were catered for properly and the breakfast was reinvented to give a better choice it would be a more appealing stay, as well as updating the air conditioning. Finally if they had a proper pool on the roof it would be a game changer. Hope this helps.

The hotel is beautiful with a lot of attractive, inviting public areas. Our room was lovely, spacious and well-equipped, with a balcony overlooking the pool area. The large bed was very comfortable. It was well-serviced and clean. There was plenty of room in the wardrobe, but only 1 drawer each. The bathroom was nice with a good shower over the bath. We could hear the conversations of people in adjacent rooms and also on the corridor, but other guests were not noisy and did not keep late hours. The dining room was large, pleasant and relaxing. It was well run by the very professional maitre d' and his team. Breakfast was excellent with a full range of cooked food which we found delicious and hot. There was also an amazing range of food for continental breakfast. We particularly liked the jugs of coffee and hot milk, which could be refilled on request. At dinner, there were 3 courses, with a choice of 3 dishes for each. All of these were appetising and we had trouble choosing which ones to have. We enjoyed all the dishes we were served. We didn't need to use reception much, but most of the people we spoke to there were very pleasant and helpful. The hotel is conveniently situated about a five minute walk to the beach, promenade and ferry port in Minori, which is a lovely, small town with lots of bars, cafes and restaurants. You can easily see it all in half a day and we would recommend taking lots of trips to see the beautiful surrounding area. Ravello was our favourite, with an outstanding villa to visit, very calm and relaxing. The roads are narrow, winding and busy. We don't recommend driving! We were there for a week and the high standards never varied during the whole of that time.

We arrived on Sunday 22/10/23 with limited expectations, the hotel had a Wedding in progress and this made check in at most casual, initial impressions were ok décor looked traditional and clean, The room 204, that's where it all went down hill, room was small and bland. a small TV hung on the wall, a fridge was in the cupboard below which didn't seem to work and was supposed to be stocked, it wasn't, it was empty, walls were scuffed and could have done with a lick of paint. The bathroom was small and had an over bath shower with usual facilities, the bath needed the sealant replaced around the whole bath, the shower blind was a bit dated and grim the underside of it was not clean. I'm afraid it wasn't inviting, quite the opposite, needed updating. The door to the balcony was new and worked well, when you get outside you see this hotels appeal being 600m Above Sea Level the views are breath-taking. Bed was hard as stone like sleeping on a mortuary slab, not that I've ever done that and i actually slept quite well. my wife however wasn't as pleased, we enquired about a topper at reception, the language barrier did get in the way but we thought we'd got through, alas we didn't get the topper. we had one meal in the hotel which was ok. Breakfast was served on level -1 a large soulless room, normal continental fair ham, cheese, bread, hard boiled eggs some limp lettuce, no cereal to speak of, yogurt tea and American Coffee. Not exactly well presented but ok. my wife is a coeliac(gluten free) and the staff provided gluten free products, on the Wednesday morning and i can only assume that as there were only 5 people in the hotel breakfast was served in the ground floor restaurant, which was better, and had great views, breakfast was served at the table. There was a bar but it was not well stocked or manned. 2x G&T's £8 parking was ok a bit tight but ok. The hotel is in the hamlet of Agerola which has limited restaurants and bars we had drinks at Madame in the square and at the bar across the road when the aforementioned was shut, we had a meal in the next village along, which was also small and only had one or two restaurants that we could find. Not exactly buzzing but very pretty and it was October, also bear in mind the temperature is 3-4 degs lower than the coast, Also it takes about an hour to get to the coast, round some tight bendy mountain roads, if your a nervous driver might not be the place for you. We left a day early and moved to Pompeii as he weather was not good, and we wanted to get nearer to Naples, paid the bill which included a local tax! I'm sure was included on the original booking but i may be wrong, worth watching out for. This hotel is very pretty and traditional the staff are friendly and helpful, it has the potential, to be a good hotel, public rooms are modern and clean but they need a bit of fine tuning, Room/s need modernizing. Overall we had a pleasant stay.

The location is perfect to explore the Amalfi coast. The room was large and new and had a super equipment. You have a beautiful view of the sea from there. The free parking are good when you are with the car there, it was easy to find. It is very quiet and you can perfectly turn it off there. Breakfast was very delicious and is recommended as it offers a large selection.

The negative reviews on here debate whether this is a 5 star resort or not. This is subjective and depends where you have stayed in your past. We live in the US. We have lived in Shanghai for many years and traveled extensively around that region. The resorts there are truly 5 star. Some of the best in the world. Even compared to the US. However, traveling throughout Europe there are different standards. This region is older and steeped in history which is the allure of visiting. Having said that I Hotel Raito is a 5 star resort. The service is outstanding from the front desk to the dining room and even maintenance and then the pool. The pool is fantastic! Very relaxing and the views! The dining at their restaurant in the evenings were great. We stayed in room 120 which is at the front of the hotel overlooking the entrance from the parking lot. My guess not the most desirable room. My wife and I were fine with it as it was clean and had a balcony overlooking Vietri and the sea. We are very positive people so that helps with our experiences and outlook. I could go on and on. Come stay at Hotel Raito and explore and fall in love with the Amalfi Coast!

We absolutely loved our visit in Vico Equense at the Hotel Mary! We are a family of 4 and had a larger room with a queen bed and 2 twin beds and it was very spacious, clean and comfortable! The bathroom was large and had everything we could ever need. The balcony overlooked the pool and sea and was fantastic. The pool area was very nice and we walked down and back up from the sea / beach club every day. That was a highlight! We loved the location of the sea club. It was a much needed walk after lots of eating and drinking all that Italy has to offer! The breakfast was amazing, overlooking the sea and the staff was very friendly and helpful! I highly recommend staying here if you want to get away from the crowds in Sorrento. Vico Equense is a lovely town, with lovely people, beautiful streets and views and great restaurants. It is only a 10 min walk to the train station and 4 stops away from Sorrento.

The best hotel in Italy, very new and clean, decorated in a simple and trendy style; the hotel does not have a parking lot, and it is convenient to use the nearby parking lot 100 meters away; the breakfast is a bit stretched, and I went a little late, before breakfast After an hour or so, the hot and cold dishes are no longer available; however, living in Italy for around 1,500 Hong Kong dollars has nothing to do with this quality.
