Palazzo San Giovanni Amalfi Coast

A very fresh and bright room with an amazing view. The room was super clean and had an excellent kitchen area too. Breakfast was continental buffet style with some cooked eggs as an option - delicious pastries & coffee. Can’t fault this hotel although access from Amalfi town was tough during late afternoon with not enough buses and little concept of queuing! Taxi fare was extortionate although in part due to fees the drivers have to pay each time to enter the town. The town Council should do better for tourists and those working in the tourism business.

Ida and Gina are the heart of this beautiful place!!! I wasn’t even staying at this accommodation, but I found myself in a truly difficult situation nearby when I couldn’t reach my host. That’s when Ida and Gina stepped in—not just as professionals, but as genuinely kind and caring people. They treated my problem as if it were their own, going above and beyond what anyone would expect. Seeing how they helped someone who wasn’t even their guest made me realize just how devoted they must be to those who are. I honestly envied the people staying here. The hotel itself is spotless, beautifully maintained, and the view—absolutely breathtaking. It made me regret not being able to stay here myself. If you’re looking for a place near Amalfi, I highly recommend this one. While it’s a little outside the center, the elevated view of the Amalfi coastline makes it even more stunning. The photo below was taken when I briefly visited this accommodation. I can only imagine how much more incredible the view must be from the actual guest rooms. Ida, Gina—your kindness turned a stressful memory into a highlight of my trip. I may not have had the chance to repay you, but I will carry your generosity forward by helping others, just as you helped me. Thank you so much. To anyone considering a stay here—don’t hesitate for a second!!!

The view was absolutely amazing. The staff was friendly and helpful and the breakfast was delicious and fresh!

New hotel in Pontone, 5 minutes away from Ravello. Very quiet, clean and amazing view from the rooms. Friendly and reliable staff.

Excellent stay at this hotel. One of the best hotels I stayed in my Italy trip. Rooms are completely renovated and looks great, just as the pictures. View to the amalfi coast is absolutely stunning. The hotel staff is very helpful, especially Francesco was a great help, understanding and very pleasant to talk to. The only thing to remember, carry light bags as this place is quite a walk from where the buses drop you off. Since we were a big group, and had a lot of luggage, the hotel staff was very helpful with that. Breakfast didn’t have a lot of option, but still they got fresh bread everyday and the almond cake was delicious. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

This hotel is absolutely beautiful, the staff are so incredible friendly and Ida (presumably a manager) was very attentive, informative and welcoming. She gave us information on the steps from Postone to Amalfi, which don’t get me wrong we’re extremely tough and there was lots and lots and lots of steps, however it was quite a rewarding hike down and into the town. She also told us about the ferry from Amalfi to Positano, which we also did. The cost for one person one way was €10 and I would say the timings aren’t as frequent in the evening, however this was also a lovely activity to do and it meant we could see the Amalfi coastline. Heading back up to the hotel was a little difficult, taxis were €60 which we didn’t want to pay for a twenty minute drive. The bus is a great option, however make sure to plan your journey as they only seem to come every 3 hours. We ended up walking back up the steps to the hotel, this was definitely a tough walk, and we had quite a few breaks. In total it took us 35 minutes which wasn’t too bad. The bathroom was immaculate, with a lovely shower that was easy to use. The beds were very comfortable, and the rooms were all equipped with air con. Overall a wonderful stay, and a place that I would definitely recommend. Hopefully we’ll be coming back again in the future.

We had a nice stay and the room with views are fantastic ! Ida is such a nice person with warm sunshine personality! We forget our clothes in the hotel and eventually they are so helpful and patience to ship back to our home! Super recommended!

Everything here is amazing: the view, the rooms, the staff. The hotel is located high in the hills, so there is some stair climbing to be done until you reach it. So if you're the hiking type, or just someone who likes to walk a lot, you're going to love the experience. Otherwise the place is accessible by car as well. I would definitely love to return in the future
