Location is unbeatable wake up fist morning praying it wasn't a dream. A small cove nestled in between two rock cliffs. Water taxis to Amalfi Poisitano or Capri

Albert, United States of America

The location is perfect if you want to be near the beach (the hotel is at one of the main beaches of Praiano but far from the center). The room was very big and spacious, beds were comfortable. Everything was clean although the installations were a bit old. Staff was very helpful as we had forgotten one bag with all documents and passports at the bus and the ladies from the reception helped us get the bag back. Breakfast was very complete and good.

Camilla, Portugal

Amazing location surrounded by scenic natural beauty that's perfect if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle. We were upgraded to a sea view room and it was great to hear the sound of the waves from our room. Great breakfast service in the family owned restaurant and very good restaurants in the area even if it is secluded.

Luana, Malta

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel had a wonderfully personal and family-oriented atmosphere.

Lisa, Sweden

This hotel is right on the pebble beach in Praiano. Though so centrally located, it is remarkably quiet, the room set into the side of the granite cliff. Elegantly tiled and with loads of space it was a nice room (the junior suite) though a bit pricey. What set it apart was the glorious shower. Enclosed behind a glass wall was a shower cascading down the granite cliff. It felt like being under a waterfall. Could have stayed for ages.

Best croissants I think I've ever had! Lovely location with your own pebble beach and a lovely restaurant overlooking the beach.

Comfortable and well set up hotel in a fantastic location - with friendly and helpful staff.

the hotel is located in a beautiful place that cannot be taken away but in this place there were some hotel stuff that did not do their proper job, like getting you to like the place. they scare you away to go find somewhere to eat for example by telling you that the kitchen is closed at 4:00 and it was only 4:02 Pm, she told us all I can get you it's a pizza, go down town because around here everything is closed, we went down the beach and found beautiful restaurant with nice food and service as we wanted.

This property is 1 minute walk from the beach. Located in one of the most beautiful and characteristic small bays of the area, in the small village of Praiano, the hotel overlooks the picturesque beach of La Praia.

Rooms at Hotel Alfonso A Mare have majolica flooring and some feature a balcony overlooking the sea.

Praiano is the last remaining mariner's village of the coast, at just 4.3 mi from Amalfi and Positano, the hotel is also just a few steps away from the crystal-clear sea.

Different facilities are available on site upon request, including: a private beach with bar service; boat rental; a scuba diving center with modern equipments to discover the precious depth of the sea; and daily departures to Positano, Amalfi, Capri and for all the other localities of the Amalfi Coast.

This is our guests' favorite part of Praiano, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.2 for a two-person trip.

“Near the beach but far from the city center”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Standard Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
The hotel is far from the city center and if you don't have a car, you will depend on local bus which only passes every 30min or 1 hour. In the end we lost a lot of time moving from Praiano to other places (Positano, Amalfi etc) given the bus service from the city. When we arrived the room had a smell of cigarrettes but we believe the smell came from outside (as the bathroom windows were open).

The only problem with the location is that if you are relying on public transportation you may have to wait for hours if the local SITA buses that pass by the stop near the hotel are already full. The only other option is to pay extra for other modes of transportation. Would recommend having own means of transportation to avoid wasting time waiting in such an idyllic place.

The restaurant was a little lonely at night during weekdays, maybe the dinner menu and overall nighttime experience could be spruced up? To match the restaurants around the hotel that were always busy.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel had a wonderfully personal and family-oriented atmosphere.

“Great location, but the lack of customer service felt purposeful, and greatly impacted our budget.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
Breakfast staff friendly and helpful. Remainder of staff had friendly smiles, but were not helpful. There was not a general culture of customer service. Among a few small things, the large thing that really impacted us financially, and kept us waiting an extra 2 hours at checkout for a taxi to arrive, was something that any other hotel would have offered to do without us asking - transport our luggage to the top of their driveway. This issue cost us a lot of money, and we felt utterly confused by their lack of customer care. We had planned to catch the bus to Minori. We were on a lengthy trip and had a 40 pound luggage bag that was impossible for us to push/pull up their driveway to the bus stop. They told us, quote, "we do not offer that service". We weren't asking for something special during a busy time for staff - we were the only customers to be seen, two of the staff were sitting and chatting. There were hotel vehicles parked right outside the door. It would have taken 5 minutes to load our luggage, run it up to the end of their driveway, and drive back down. Instead, she said a taxi, all the way to Minori, was our only option. The bus was 3 euros each. The taxi was 110 euros. (FYI for those budgeting for water taxis - they would have been roughly as expensive as the car taxi. They weren't running the day we left, because of high winds, which we heard is common in autumn.) The front desk told us we had to commit to the 110 euro price for the taxi, or it would not pick us up, nor would it pick us up for a trip that was any shorter.
Fabulous beach location. Water Taxi dock, neighboring restaurants, bars, and a nightclub all right next door or within few minute walk. Charming feel in an historical fishing cove. Well priced modest room that looked like their website photos. Our room faced back parking lot, it was dark, but pretty vine outside window. Quiet, except some noise from parking lot, but we had the window open - you probably wouldn't hear it if had air conditioner on. Plentiful good breakfast served in a very cool old fishing boat, with fruit, meats, cheese, eggs, breads, etc. Bus stop conveniently at top of (long and steep) driveway.

“That shower made my stay.”

- • Junior Suite with Sea View
- • Stayed 1 night
The beach in Praiano is filthy. The small town has not developed the resources to cope with the flood of tourists and the sewage systems are inadequate. Wealth now means that most homeowners have a boat that they moor in the bay and that makes for unpleasant swimming. This is very sad because the sea used to be a gorgeous green and blue.

Hotel has a 'subterranean' feel being built low down, under the car park so that some of the rooms have little natural light. There were jellyfish present in the swimming area when we were there.

The staff were terrible and couldn’t care less! They were no help and had no local knowledge. The cleaner stole from our wallet so please use the safe! If you have heavy luggage you get no help up and down the steep hill (where in other places- even in Capri, you can do with similar price hotel). The rooms are basic but you get the feeling the top bedsheets could so with more washing. The bathroom kept falling apart. Do not eat at the hotel! It’s awful!!!!
Beautiful location! So pretty but the best thing is to walk around the corner to the other restaurants and il parata.
