Hotel Torre Saracena

This hotel has it all. And a safe haven to go back to after a long exhausting day of activities. From the bus right outside the doorstep. It is a perfect base when you are planning to visit, Amalfi town, Positano, Ischia, Atrani you name it all. That famous Marina di Praia is literally just 5mns walk from this hotel. And also Fiordo di Furore bridge is 18mns walk from here. What I love the most is the convenient of both transportation and plenty of choices for food. You just walk down to Marina di Praia and there are plenty of restaurants to choose from and it's one of the best cliffside view.. We rented a car from Napoles as I have travel sickness getting bus. During our trip to Positano my husband decided not to bring the car as parking there is extremely difficult to find & also very pricey. But not to worry. Head down to Marina di Praia there's a WATER TAXI that will bring you everywhere. It's actually cheaper taking water taxi than an actual land taxi. ie: From Praia to Positano we got priced €100 return for 2people. But water taxi is €75 for 2 people return. That's a private one and you can decide what time you can return they'll collect you. If you have no problem taking bus it is only around €2-€3 to almost everywhere in Amalfi coast. Now let's talk about the hotel. It's a beautiful hotel set on a beautiful cliffside. Get a balcony room for the best experience & view. You'll see the boats passing by. There is a jacuzzi and swimming pool. The place is a little old, but this was not a problem to us as it was kept cleaned all the time. And you have all the amenities you'll ever need. The hotel staff are very friendly and accommodating. Eliana in the reception desk is amazing. I called prior our stay to arrange a parking reservation as you have to do that due to limited space. She recommended so many things prior to our trip. She even mentioned there's no need to rent car as bus is right infront of their doorstep and that's true.. Eliana goes above and beyond to make our stay comfortable & perfect. From fixing even the small details. Francesco, a very helpful gentleman who carried our luggage and making sure we are well looked after during breakfast. My Husband and I, are going to miss all the stairs that became our daily exercise from our room to breakfast hehe.. We would also like to thank you Emilio, who gives us a little tour when we arrived whilst waiting to check in. He showed us around the hotel, starting conversation to make us comfortable. He is very nice and very helpful & accommodating.. You see, it's the small simple things that matter in life, that makes the place accommodating. This place offers you clean & comfortable stay, convenient to transportation and restaurants. Again, has jacuzzi and swimming pool. Breakfast offers a wide selection and one of the hotel that has delicious delicacies. Very scenic cliffside view. Staff are very friendly and will go beyond to cater your needs. One thing to add, Grotto di Suppraia

Fantastic spot to enjoy Amalfi coast. Lovely hotel draped down the cliffs towards the water. Steps all the way down to a small sunning area on the rocks, great for swimming but beware if medusa (small grey-brown jellyfish with a nasty sting) are around. The views from our room and the breakfast area are absolutely stunning all day. The bus stopped right in front of the hotel so easy to get to Amalfi or Positano--but after you experience crowds there, you will want to head back to Hotel Torre Saracena. The very best part of the experience were the always cheerful and helpful staff--thanks to each of them.

Quiet property only 15 mins away from Positano. Not luxurious but good enough for a short stay. The staff was amazing. Everything very private.

Not as advertised. Extremely difficult to navigate. Purposely distracted us from steep interior stairs and made us use outside stairs that were twice as long. Terrible for our seniors. This was not mentioned in description. Hotel run down. Staff greedy.

Needed to walk down stairs, hotel charges $5 per luggage carrying. Rooms has good view, for pice charged, it’s a good hotel….

The hotel is between positano and amalfi. So bus or taxi is required. There is a beach below thats convenient and has lounge chairs and restaurants as well. It’s the drop off point for water taxis too, much to keep us tourists entertained (haha). The room was clean and was had a terrace. The hotel has an outdoor terrace for breakfast also. The staff was friendly and very helpful. They drove us to their restaurant nearby, although IL Pino, very close by was the best! Don’t miss it, and go early and sit in their backyard overlooking the sea. The drinks were great as well. Actually loved being away from all the hustle of the major attractions. Unless you are looking for very busy then choose either village, plenty of activities there. Enjoy the wine, journey, and making new friends!

everyone was truly lovely here— great location and 10min walk to the beach. 15min walk to restaurants like kasai and la posterie. breakfast is great and the views from the rooms are unparalleled. definitely will stay here again

Great service, friendly and very attentive.A clean environment with beautiful view. A massive breakfast buffet with delicious food and special local dishes. It’s a friendly family run business, everyone runs the extra mile to make sure their guests are happy. Luigi

Lovely clean comfortable hotel, magnificent location, and good value compared to the larger towns along Amalfi. Staff were lovely, helpful and pleasant. Building probably needs a little attention, jacuzzi was a bit tired, but perfectly useable, (and cleaned regularly). Bus stop out the front gives respite from all the stairs and hills that are unavoidable in this wonderful area. We made a great choice when choosing Hotel Torre Saracena.
