Richard
Great hotel and the rooms were awesome. A 25 min walk down the hill to Amalfi. Bus or taxi back up. Great restaurants nearby also.
Janene
Accessing the hotel by walking from the harbor is not for the faint of heart. My children and I were only carrying three backpacks with essentials for a weekend getaway, but it was still extremely challenging. Definitely take water, plan for it to take longer than 22 mins (HA! Only true if you’re walking down from the hotel) but also enjoy the beautiful sites and lookout spots on the way. Either way arriving at the hotel is a dream and absolutely worth it! The staff are incredible, the rooms are gorgeous, and we would absolutely come back even if it meant tackling those stairs again (they’re a lot more fun to walk down lol)!!
NADINA
We stayed for 3 nights here and our stay was wonderful. Everything was extremely clean and comfortable. Pool has this little robot that would clean it every morning. Breakfast was delicious and hard to believe it was included in the price. The view was absolutely gorgeous from the hotel looking on to Amalfi. 2 great restaurants within a 2 minute walk for lunch or dinner. Staff was extremely helpful with navigating transportation and giving tips for the area.
Zoe
This place was clean, friendly, and had beautiful views!!
Elis Regina
Fantastic experience , great views, a delicious breakfast, and a very comfortable, spacious room. The room was clean and well-maintained, and the pool was a highlight: nice size, spotless, and very relaxing.
Getting to the hotel is easy by car, with convenient access nearby, and only a few steps to reach the property. Highly recommended for a comfortable stay with a lovely atmosphere.

Great place, very peaceful and quiet, great restaurant right by it, gorgeous views, breakfast was amazing
Jill
We love this little gem. Rooms were very spacious and clean and staff was helpful. A bus can take you right into Amalfi and from Amalfi to wherever you would like to go. The pool area had a beautiful view and the food options for dinner in Pontone were great.
Zoralee Gutierrez
Excellent service and stay!
Megan
The listing said the hotel was accessible by foot from Almafi however the path to get there was pitch black and halfway through the 1.5 hr walk the path had been closed off. I felt unsafe and exhausted. We never made it there and they refused to even provide a partial refund. I’m sure it’s beautiful but don’t stay here if you want to spend time in Amalfi.

Check in was great the lady at the desk was friendly and efficient. Parking is a challenge if you drive to the location.
Lee-Ann
The staff was amazing! Very nice and always had smiles on their faces.
There are stairs and hills getting to this property and that part is ny foot as cars cannot get up to the reservation area. We managed, but I wished that I packed lighter. Also, you want to get the bus app and use that to get into Amalfi. Taxis are too unpredictable and very expensive.

KAYLA
Beautiful place! And the staff kept it so clean. It is a ways from the main area but we learned on the second day there is a bus stop 5 mins from there that is very easy to take back and forth. The breakfast is always very yummy- and we loved the coffee.
Can’t recommend enough and can’t wait to one day come back

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 late afternoon with not enough buses and little concept of queuing! Taxi was extortionate although in part due to fees the drivers have to pay each time to enter the town. Council should do better.

This place is awesome. Quiet and beautiful. Lots of cute cats hanging around. It's a lot of stairs to get to Amalfi -- so be prepared and in decent shape (or make arrangements to get to town). Great resort.
Hassan
Stunning views, super friendly staff
Avneet
Very neat and clean. staff is very nice. Everything was so good the only problem is it’s far from amalfi coast hard to go there with the luggage cos it’s 1080 steps to go down to amalfi otherwise it was good.
Christina
The hotel had a beautiful view of Amalfi! It was very serene and the pool, though small, was well-done. The walk to Amalfi was 25 minutes all downhill. We took the bus back close to town (10 minute walk to hotel). Note there are many steps you will have to walk up to reach the hotel which may be challenging for elderly or people with small children. Internet did not function well so not ideal for telework. We have visited the area many times and this was a nice change of pace. We’d visit again.
Pasquale
What an amazing gem!
Kayleigh
Beautiful property with stunning views. The room was enormous with a hot tub on the patio. A little out of the way of the hustle and bustle but a lovely area
Would recommend getting the bus up and down to Amalfi

As a person who stays in 10+ hotels per year, this place ranks near the top. It’s a beautiful hotel with incredible views. The pool area is quiet and relaxing. The rooms are clean, comfortable and modern. The complimentary breakfast is delicious with fresh fruit, cheeses and pastries.
The customer service is top notch with the English speaking owners/front desk agents genuinely caring about each and every guest.
Highly recommend this place.

Nice room, very tasteful. Good breakfast. Friendly staff.
However, getting to the hotel is a challenge. Taxi is 70 eu one way each time. Bus is difficult to catch and limits you mobility significantly.

Amazing view!
It was an amazing stay with amazing views. Only 20 minutes walk down the steps to Amalfi. Comfotable rooms and super friendly and helpful host. Breakfast was fine not very elaborate. Would definitely stay here again.
Cory
Beautiful views and room. We got there a little late in the evening so it was a bit harder to find. Pay parking available that worked well for us.
Dave
Pro: Beautiful view, wonderful staff, good room.
Con: frustrating at arrive at 9pm with no dedicated parking and needing to haul luggage up a large hill to the actual resort, with limited instruction. Limited food options within walking distance.

Loved staying here away from the crowd
One of the most amazing stay of our hotel stay in Italy. It is the most perfect place to be at peace with nature. OMG the view of the Amalfi coast is breathtaking from the room balcony. Walking down to Amalfi through the lemon trees was an incredible experience. Aida at the reception was amazing hostess.
Jean Jamil
Very nice hotel with a great view and friendly staff, located in a nice little village up in the mountain.
Denise
Staff not helpful. Breakfast terrible. Too far away from towns.
Jaine
Hotel on the hill
Great spot lovely views. The staff are very friendly.
When you get to the Piazza there are a few steps up and you go to the left.
We walked down the stair way to Amalfi and the lemon experience.
Get the bus back as it's not too far to walk.

Great hospitality, disappointed in hotel
Let me start this review by saying we were very excited for this visit, but was slightly disappointed. It seems like a lot of the things that were visually portrayed on their photos were not provided during our visit. They are currently under construction, which I think should be stated During booking. The front desk gentleman, frances was an absolute dream and helping us with everything we needed, which made the disappointment. Much better. When booking our hotel, it stated standard room online with balcony with a view, but we ended up with a standard room with a patio. I think that they’re online photos and explanation need to be adjusted So no one else would have this issue. The rooms were an amazing size and very large and comfortable. Breakfast was nothing special, but available. The location was absolutely only 10 minutes from the Amalfi city, but has a very long and curvy road. My children got sick once during the drive so just just be sure if you have anyone who gets carsick to be careful.
Magali
We stayed only one night, lovely view and friendly helpful service. Overall great value, tasty cappuccino and simple breakfast. Hopped in the hot tub at night. I’d recommend arriving before nightfall ( uphill narrow roads ) also there was many stairs so I’d recommend something more accessible if you’re not mobile but was not an issue for us at all.
Tina
It was a very nice room. Breakfast was good. It was way up in the mountains far from Amalfi. Nothing around. We had dinner at the restaurant next to the hotel and and fish was very good. Very quiet hotel but far from everything.
Lisa
Beautiful and Serene
This hotel was well appointed with amenities, and absolutely gorgeous. Views were stunning! The restaurant affiliated with the hotel was fantastic. Every staff member was incredibly hospitable and so kind and helpful. Lovely people! There are many stairs to get to the hotel and back to the street, as it is literally built into the mountains. Worth the walk for sure, but can be challenging for those with physical difficulty walking or climbing stairs. Definitely beautiful and serene. Nice sized balconies too for enjoying that view. The breakfast provided was typical Italian breakfast food - coffee, pastries/breads, cheeses, sliced meat, yoghurt, fruit. They also provided cereals, milk, and juice.
Taxis are more expensive since Pontone (the city there) is remote. Buses come by fairly regularly, and the stop is about 10-15 minute walk from the hotel. There are stairs down the mountain to Amalfi too - about a 40 minute walk down. Google maps had the correct walking directions. Not a lot of options for dining in Pontone, as it’s a small town, but the two we tried were both excellent - Ristorante San Giovanni (past the click tower and to the right, very close!) and the restaurant on the premises (I think it was called Ristorante Antico Borgia.)
Pictures show view from balcony and stairs (only a fraction of them) to Amalfi.

The Palazzo is beautifully nestled into the historic core of the Pontone village, away from the buzz in Amalfi. Planting beds with lavender and herbs add to a wonderful climate on the terrace with a peaceful view over the bay.
We were warned by other reviews of the few steps from the parking to the hotel itself, otherwise there were no detriments to our stay.

What a special place! High above Amalfi town, Postpone is a quiet village with breathtaking views of the surroundings. We stayed here because of a wedding in Scala. It's a not so bad 25 minute walk downhill to town, the walk up would take about an hour. The room was bright and clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was simple but well served and the staff will make you coffee as you wish. The terrace was lovely and we could have sat outside for hours sipping our coffee or wine and enjoying the view.
Craig
Staff is friendly. View is incredible. Room was perfect and clean.
tobias
We loved the town of Pontone, it’s location between Amalfi and Scala and Ravello. The breakfast is excellent!
Molly Rose
We had an amazing time here. It’s such a gorgeous hotel, the rooms are lovely and comfortable and the view is unbelievable, words won’t do it justice. All the staff were so warm, approachable and really helpful. Yes the steps down to Amalfi are fairly intense (worth it for the view on the way down, a serious workout for your calves on the way up) but manageable if you’re prepared/don’t have mobility issues. I’d stay here again in an instant. All staff were also really easy to communicate with before our stay, arranging airport transfers for us which was so helpful.
Norma
I loved this place, because from there you can appreciate the entire Amalfi’s panorama and the serene, quite, natural sounds in the mornings, and evenings; excellent way to start and finish each day. And the local pizzeria San Giovanni couple minutes walking distance from hotel excellent ambiance, service and best pizza I ever tasted! Also the personal, friendly treat of Lina (the manager of the hotel) very attentive and helpful!
Scott
The staff were so kind and helpful!
The facility itself is obviously quite new and in excellent condition. Room was outstanding - Incredible view and very large deck.
They had a thermal pool/hot tub that needed to have fresh water.

Excellent service and room especially the sea view ones. Thank you
Emma De
It's beautiful here and the staff is very nice, but we found the location inconvenient. Public transportation doesn't really seem to reach Pontone, where Palazzo San Giovanni is located, so it's either expensive taxi or LOTS of walking (if you don't have or rent a car).
We love being active, but found it exhausting to trek up and down to Amalfi and Ravello in one day from this hotel. The streets aren't always pedestrian-friendly either. I wish I had done more research into the location of this hotel when considering options.
The room was decent, but for the price, we thought they could have provided hand soap and a more comfortable bed with multiple pillows. The shower area was also super slippery in a way that seemed potentially hazardous.
Our favorite part of the room was the balcony overlooking a view of the cliffs.

This stay was a highlight on our 1 week trip around Naples, Ischia, and the Amalfi. Lina, our host, welcomed us the morning before our arrival with a call explaining how to get to the remote area of Pontone. Throughout the day, she provided us with helpful information on which bus to take and at what time. We were traveling during off-season so busses were harder to come by. When we arrived, Lina greeted us at the front and showed us into our beautiful room that was decorated with expresso candies! The room was gorgeous and the view was unbeatable. The next day Lina prepared a delicious breakfast for us and even made us coffee and an omelet! As we were leaving, the rain picked up and she offered to give me her umbrella for walking down to the bus station. My friend and I already want to bring our families to this place. The palazzo is unbeatable and the host is so kind. Don't pass this place up!! Thank you Lina for such an incredible experience!

We were there in October, and Amalfi, Capri, etc., were still drowning in other tourists. If you want peace and quiet and relief from day times spent in the crowds, San Giovanni is a lovely place to be. It's as beautiful as the photos on the web site with wonderful views down the terraced ravine to Amalfi and the sea. It's new, rooms are spacious, airy and well thought out for whatever needs you might have. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable and go out of their way to help. Breakfast buffet is extensive and there's parking for an extra fee in a place that otherwise would be very difficult to park.
Shelley
Great conditions, nice view, very quiet, good breakfast, and helpful host. Will come again in my next trip.

Beautiful stay! Staff is so helpful and nice. Place is so clean and beautiful views. Area of Pontone is calm and quiet, a nice escape from busy Amalfi.

Brand new hotel with amazing views, spatious rooms and excellent staff. Is a fair distance from amalfi and can be difficult to access as taxi's are costly (a hotel shuttle to amalfi would be fantastic). Loved the hotel would only suggest a couple of mirrors to be added to the family room.

Charming Hotel
I totally love this hotel, although you have to have strong knees to brace the many steps, the views and everything-else is totally worth it! I was in town for a wedding in Ravello, this was an excellent choice. Not far from Amalfi city center, matter of fact, my friend and I walked down the steps for about twenty minutes. Lina at hotel was excellent, she went above and beyond. for us.

Great place to stay and such a freindly staff who are always willing to help. Roberto was so nice he helped us carry our baggage from parking lot to the hotel.
This place is located near city center. Great breakfast at the place and nice sitting lounge facing beautiful ocean and mountains right in front of hotel.
I would surly come back here again and we thank you guys for your outstanding services.

A true piece of paradise....
A stunning property in a location that is eat suited to those who want to be close enough to the action, yet have either great interest in long and at times challenging walks, or a vehicle.
The location was exceptional, a true Italian sense of belonging if you take the time to be with the community, you will be warmly welcomed.
Roberto and the team are outstanding.
Thank you.

Fantastic location. Very comfortable hotel. Convenient for Ravello and Amalfi which you can walk to and avoid the crowded roads. Useful being able to park the car. Staff very friendly. Would recommend highly nice to have small cooking facilities to make own meals to enjoy on the balcony overlooking Amalfi and the sea.

The only issue we had was not enough time at the property. Absolutely lovely room, attentive staff and the view....unbelievable!!!

The property was beautiful and the rooms were very clean and modern! The staff was very helpful. My only complaint is that it’s very high up. It took us 45 minutes of walking down the stairs to get to Amalfi. The bus stop is about a 20 minute walk from the hotel.

Beautiful views. Great breakfast. Staff are lovely; very helpful. This location is up in the hills. Access to the coast requires transportation or a walk down 500 + steps. This is a lovely relaxing location.
