B&B Al Pesce d'Oro — Restaurant in Amalfi

We just left Al Pesce D'oro Bed & Breakfast. It was our first time on the Amalfi coast and spent quite a bit of time doing our research and trying to find a cute place that offered some amenities, but that also seemed to be centrally located. I'm so glad that we found Al Pesce D'oro. ||||We rented a car on our way out of Rome. I know, I know... why would we do that? The answer is because we're in Italy for a month - now in Tuscany. The only way to do our journey with a month's worth of luggage and experiences is to rent a car. However, on the Amalfi coast, you don't want to really be driving. It's insanity and by the way, there is no place to park your car. ||||The Al Pesce D'oro B&B offered a private parking lot which was a tremendous stress relief. We only tried to remove our car once on our first trip to the town of Amalfi (10 minutes away) and it was nearly impossible to park. We did find an open spot but we returned to the car to find out it had been towed. The operator, Alessio, at the B&B helped us call the local tow company and get our car back. it stayed in the lot thereafter and we used the busses and sea ferry's to go back to and forth from Positano to Amalfi and into Conca Dei Marini. ||||The bed and breakfast itself was really clean, and the staff and people were so accommodating and nice. One person, in particular, Martina, was so pleasant and so cute. She helped us navigate many things and answered whenever we needed her. We would have just loved to spend some time with just her - she was so wonderful. ||||Our room had a private little balcony that hung over the sea. They brought breakfast to our room every morning and set it up on the balcony. They also had bus tickets at the office area of the business. ||||The restaurant below is known for its seafood dishes. We had a few really great meals there and the staff was equally wonderful. I really can't recommend this place enough. They also own a luxury villa that is available for rent higher up the hill I believe. This family can provide any experience you are looking for and its right in between the main town of interest on the...

Let me start by saying Alessio, Alessio, Alessio! This guy is amazing! I can't stress how wonderful the staff is and just how warm and caring they are. This is not something I would ever think to be top of the list when reviewing a hotel but they literally made all the difference. It's a family run operation with an incredible restaurant located right under the hotel. The hotel itself was very clean and recently updated. The views are spectacular as well and behind the hotel is this amazing tiered garden which runs halfway up the hillside. The garden is owned and operated by the hotel and used for all the fresh food at the restaurant. It really is an amazing place. The one thing I should point out is it's about 2 miles away from the Amalfi center so whenever you need to get anywhere you have to either rent a taxi which is $45 or take the bus. The bus runs regularly so not an issue but just something to think about especially during peak season when it can often be full with riders so they may not stop. Offseason I'm sure it's no problem at all. I would HIGHLY recommend if you stay at this hotel to either rent a car or scooters. It really will make all the difference in the world. Finally the beach is tiny and overcrowded during peak season so don't plan on using it during July and August. It's also about a 1/2 mile walk to get to the entrance of the steps then another 1/4 mile of steps to get down to the beach. This is NOT an easy trek so if you are planning on going here for the beach then this is not the right place for you. I hate even listing these negatives because the place really is magical. If you are looking for a romantic place and don't want to be in the center of all the activity then you can't go wrong with B&B Al Pesce d'Oro. There's something special about this place that I can't explain. If you decide to go you will understand what I mean. ...
