Our trip to the Amalfi Coast was a memory that will forever be very close to my heart. From the moment we booked to the moment we left the hotel, Vincenzo, Marco, Guilo, and Lydia made us feel so welcome. They truly went above and beyond. Vincenzo was so kind and patient. I was planning the trip from the states to Italy and had a lot of questions on transportation, restaurant bookings, and he was so helpful to not only help plan our trip to the Amalfi Coast but also gave such great suggestions that allowed us to have a seamless vacation.
Upon our arrival, they were all so helpful, assisting us with our luggage and getting us set up in our rooms. The rooms have such a beautiful Italian charm. As my mom would say, each room passed the white glove test! Everything was so clean and fresh. Cleanliness is huge for us and everything in this hotel was spotless!
I traveled with my husband and my mom. We had two separate rooms. Our room overlooked the streets and shops. We absolutely loved our two-story room, very spacious and made us feel right at home. My mom’s room was also super cute and had a beautiful view on the rooftop with a slight ocean view as well.
Each morning we were treated to an authentic Italian breakfast. Homemade with love by Lydia. The coffees were amazing too!
We did a day trip to Capri. Our boat picked us up right at the dock, which was just a five minute walk from the hotel. Again truly such a perfect location.
Location is so important when picking a hotel for a vacation. This hotel could not be in a better location. You are seconds away from so many restaurants, coffee shops, and bars. It's less than a five-minute walk to the ferry and the beach. It was roughly a 45 minutes to drive from the airport to the hotel. The driver Vincenzo sent us was so sweet and gave us a little tour on the drive there. He even stopped and treated us the limoncello stand. Which was delicious!
Vincenzo helped arrange all our pick-ups and drop-offs (also the best priced and I got multiple quotes). If I’m being honest, I’m not a light packer. We went from the Amalfi Coast to Positano and had scheduled a pick-up and drop-off for that next trip. When Vincenzo saw how much luggage we had, he suggested we change our plans to take the ferry since the hotel we were staying at next was right on the water, allowing for an much easier travel for us. Let me tell you, once we got there, he was so right and saved us from walking down miles with a handfuls of luggage.
After we left, my mom noticed that she left something at the hotel. Vincenzo and Marco took the ferry to Positano and personally drop off the missing items to my mom. They truly treat you like family, and for our first experience in the Amalfi Coast, was so wonderful. I would not stay anywhere else but this hotel! Thank you for a terrific stay!
Xoxo, Nicole,...

STAFF: 10/10 + Vincenzo and others made us feel like home. The service is professional but at the same time very friendly. - - - - - - - - - - - SERVICE: 10/10 + They have all the services you'd need: porter for your luggage, a valet for your car (who is a funny guy), umbrellas available for you in the lobby, etc. + The BREAKFAST was the BEST part of it all! You can choose from wide selection of local hams, cheeses, breads, salads, juices, fruits and veggies, 4 or 5 different marmalades, brioches, cereals, cheesecakes, scrambled/boiled eggs, ham-rolls; you name it, they have it! Cappuccino was delicious as well! Plus you are eating on a marvellous rooftop terrace with amazing views! - To be objective: The breakfast was the same every day, but always fresh. Besides, with that much to choose from it is no problem at all. I found a hair in my ham-roll, but that happens.. No biggie here. Really, the breakfast couldn't be better! - - - - - - - - - - - AMENITIES: 10/10 + Beautifully decorated building in mediterranean style with a romantic touch to it - classy! + Flipflops, bath robe and an ice-bucket with cold Prosecco is awaiting you in your suite -lovely! + The Junior Suite is spacious, elegant, has a great balcony overlooking the street rumble and a huge shower in the bathroom. + The bed is very comfortable, if you like harder mattresses. + Super clean everywhere. + Wifi ok also for streaming. - - - - - - - - - - - LOCATION: 10/10 + It doesn't get any better than this. Location is an important aspect (especially when looking for a place at Amalfi coast) and this was just PERFECT. You are in the town center, with all the restaurants, shops, places of interest, etc. right under your balcony.
NEGATIVES: A tad over the reasonable price point, but hey - it's Amalfi! Parking 20 euro a day seems too much to me. Classic Amalfi coast problems (nothing Residenza Luce can be blamed for): No solid beaches within reach, hard to get around (narrow roads and maniac drivers will drive you crazy; motorbike/scooter/boat is recommended), steep walks everywhere, but the scenery...
