    Lovely breakfast - everything that you could want; egg and bacon, fresh fruit of many varieties, fresh pastries etc Lovely pool - but even better beaches. No need for a car, as the location is perfect walking distance to everything. Very, very friendly and helpful staff. My thanks to Francesco, Domenico (?)(helping me with the bus!), Antonio (forevever ferrying me around!) and all the lovely, lovely staff!

    A "do not disturb/please clean room" card would have been helpful both to us and to the cleaners. Some form of additional seating in the room other than the single upright dining type chair would have been nice. although room size might prevent it. Couldn't find any English TV channels, (maybe a bonus point though!). The walk back from town/seafront which we did a few times because it was outside shuttlebus scheduled times. The bus schedule seemed to be run for the drivers convenience rather than the hotel guests. It finished at 7 pm which was a deterrent to eating in the town. (A cynic might say this was to force guests to use the hotel restaurant). Pool sun loungers and umbrellas were a bit "tired" and being a back sufferer I found them most uncomfortable. A few upright chairs would have been nice.. The pool didn't seem to have any depth markers and it catches you out the first time when you find the pool deepens quite suddenly halfway along! Had to ask too often for breakfast coffee jug to be filled.

    Breakfast selection was OK. Cereals, bacon, scrambled eggs and loads of cakes?? etc. Good coffee, (when it was available!). Lunch and dinner restaurant menu and food quality was first class. Loved the view from the sea facing balcony. Air con was very efficient and automatically controlled room temperature. Nice powerful shower. Bar staff very friendly and efficient but had to use call bell to get served. The shuttlebus was useful but almost essential given the long steep incline back from the seafront. Pool area management was OK, making sure people didn't "hog" the sun loungers.

    There were several things that I really appreciated about this hotel. Firstly, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always going above and beyond to ensure that my needs were met. The room was spacious, clean, and well-appointed, providing a comfortable place to relax after a long day. The hotel's amenities, such as the pool and fitness center, were also great additions that enhanced my overall experience. Additionally, the convenient location made it easy for me to explore the surrounding area and access nearby attractions. Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with this hotel and would definitely stay here again in the future.

    Hotel is getting outdated, bathrooms small and probably 30 years old looking at the style. Could imagine hotel would be noisy when fully booked in high season, but very quiet with just a few guests at the end of season. Pool was great but needs some work done to keep it up to standard.

    Wonderfull setting with a magnificent seaview. Good breakfast as well as dinner, setting on the terrace is magnificent, large pool which was great to swim. A jewel in Castellabate.

    there was a slight miscommunication when I was checking out with regards to an extra charge although we took a non sea view room to gain an extra bed for a child, for the 4 nights we were charged €200 extra and this was not communicated clearly to us when we were offered the room. the lady that showed us to the new room told me there was no extra charge at all so that was slightly disappointing, apart from that our stay was perfect.

    the property is situated on a hill above the town. it is a fair walk uphill so we used the complimentary shuttle bus to bring us back up the hill during the day, we had to get taxis at night as the shuttle finishes at 7pm. the staff are extremely friendly especially the waiter at breakfast, a tall man with glasses. he couldn’t do enough for us, he was so attentive and kind.

    The hotel is situated on a height, halfway up the side of a mountain, a good distance away from the centre. One really needs a car as the hill is so steep up to it. We had dinner there one night and the food was very disappointing. There was a fault in the air conditioning in our room and water leaked down the wall. When we reported it to reception it was fixed the next day.

    Good size room but no views. A good powerful shower. The dining room and garden were really nice, with great views down to the sea. The waiter in the dining room was very nice, friendly and looked after us very well.

    Although the location is perfect for the views, it is a little above the town & therefore walking to the beach (or more importantly back from it) would not be easy for some. I believe they offer a shuttle bus service during the day though and there are likely taxis available. One tiny bit of feedback for the hotel is there was a charge for 'pool service' on the bill. Only 3 euros but this wasn't explained at check in and I wasn't sure what it was, I can only assume it was for towels. Not unreasonable so I didn't query it, it just would have been good service to let us know in advance.

    This is a very nice hotel. It looks recently built or refurbished, everything is very clean and fresh. The pool is lovely with comfy loungers and umbrellas. The staff were all very friendly. Not sure if it is family run, but it seemed to be a small number of staff who were all very attentive and helpful. The hotel's best feature is its amazing views, from our room and the terrace it is the perfect place to enjoy some peaceful moments looking out to sea and to watch the sunset. We actually drove further up the hill to watch the sunset and there are some good spots to do so, but the terrace would be just as good if you don't have a car. We only stayed one night but had dinner and breakfast in the restaurant and both were very good.

    The full summer season runs from June through August. Our visit was in Mid May. The pool and gardens had not been tended over the winter. The pool was empty and surroundings were litter strewn. Consequently the potential for outside relaxation was lost. The kitchen was not open so , other than breakfast there was no opportunity to snack. There was no kitchen service. No bar service in the evening. Breakfast was bountiful but lacked variety and finesse. Lack of service and facilities meant that we were enjoying bed and breakfast at hotel rates.

    Beautiful setting overlooking the sea and the picturesque village of S. Castellabate. Superb tiled interiors. Pleasant and hard working skeleton staff. Rooms were nicely appointed and cleaned daily.
