Villa Rina

What a wonderful place to stay, high up above the busy hectic town of Amalfi. The accommodation is superb but the the food is even better. Rina is a magnificent host and cares for every guest. It is a bit of a walk but worth it when you arrive. And the breakfasts are to die for. The food is always freshly prepared. This country house is highly recommended and worth a repeat visit. We loved every minute, thank you Rina

Rina was an amazing host and her food was amazing. I had some of the best food cooked by her. There are lots of stairs to walk which he tells you and offers someone to pick up your luggage for 10erous per bag. Well worth the money!! Also we drove there and she also arranged parking for us so we parked across the street, someone picked up our car for us and we walked up the stairs. So convenient. She is so amazing and I couldn’t ask for a better host.

Rina is the ultimate hostess. You really must be prepared though if you stay here to earn the right to see the magnificent views, you must climb hundreds of stairs up. These same stairs must be climbed back down any time you wish to go to town. The sun is hot and you must be in good physical shape. Communications are a little hard as staff doesn’t speak English. The wine and food abound. Best to visit when you can stay and just enjoy Rina’s hospitality. She taught us to cook with local food items and breakfast is included. You can pay extra and she will prepare wonderful dinners.

We stayed at villa Rina for 2 nights and are very happy with our stay. As many other reviews have said, you have to walk up a couple of steps to get there. But once you get to the house, the view is worth the effort. The house is located just outside the hustle and bustle of the central amalfi and for us it was so nice to be able to enjoy the breathteaking views without the hordes of tourists. The rooms are good size and very cosy and we especially enjoyed the ceiling height and the balcony with panoramic views over the sea. The room was equipped with all the amenities we needed (especially the ac since there was about 30+ degrees celsius during our stay) We enjoyed 2 dinners at Villa Rina. We had only booked one beforehand but enjoyed it so much that we ate there the second night as well. It is homecooked italian dishes and Rina grows much of the ingredients herself. It was very relaxing Having dinner overlooking the ocean. The breakfast was delicious as well with homecooked jams and a delicious freshly squeezed lemon Juice. I would recommend staying at Villa Rina If you aren't afraid of walking up steps and If you want something more relaxed and genuine than the tourist version of Amalfi.

stayed there for the third time in three years and it was always excellent. The villa is perfectly located, Rina the owner of the villa is absolutely lovely and her cooking skills are brilliant (taste her dinner menu!). Will be back soon.

My staff in Villa Rina was delightful. The place is a walk and some (many) stairs to climb. However the stay was very pleasurable with beautiful water views. Rina was really pleasant and her cooking was amazing. I ate their all 3 nights. I would recommend to pack vey lightly if you’re staying here or coordinate with Rina for a porter service. Overall I had a pleasant time and don’t forgot to have a shot or two of her homemade limoncello - the best in town.

I’ve been to Amalfi Villa Rina with close friends and family. At the very beginning I was amazed from the view but after a couple of nights we realized the owner was so rude! She compelled us to pay more the amount conveyed without informing us we should have paid an additional fee (due to car parking). Worst service ever and rudeness for free.

Great stay with Rina. Lovely lady, so helpful. And she is the most amazing cook, 40 euro each for a full course meal and drinks. Was delicious. And a cooked breakfast every morning with lemonade and coffee. Comfortable room with amazing view. Only thing is you do have to climb the 300ish stairs up the hill, so we only went out once a day, have to be reasonably fit to do this (definitely not for everyone). Thanks Rina! Thank you!!

We enjoyed our 1 night stay here - the room was spacious (with private garden) and clean, the A/C strong and the views AMAZING! Breakfast was abundant and delicious. Yes, there are 300 steps to the property, that will have to do in the heat probably and with your suitcases (0r you pay the porter 10euro each piece of luggage). no way around that. But the views are worth it , and it is not a bad walk to/from the downtown area (about 20 mins).
