Tami
We absolutely loved our stay! The restaurant was outstanding for both breakfast and dinner, and Asia at the front desk was exceptional. She arranged our transportation to and from the dock, booked affordable golf cart rides into town (€15 per person), and recommended an incredible full-day Capri excursion that ended up being one of the highlights of our trip.
Our room was amazing—we booked one with a private Jacuzzi, and it was worth every penny. The views are absolutely spectacular.
The only thing to keep in mind is that there are about 163 stairs down to the property and another 163 to reach the beach area, so be prepared for lots of steps. The hotel is also very secluded, which we loved because it made for a peaceful, relaxing stay.
We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. It was truly one of the highlights of our trip to the Amalfi Coast!

Marcos A
make sure you need to go down and up by stairs
Natasha
We had a great stay here. The staff were all lovely, especially Asia who was incredibly helpful from start to finish and Angelo the chef whose food was really good. This property is not for the faint hearted though. Over 150 steps to get from the road to the villa (and then back up again to get into town or to anywhere else!), and over 200 steps down to the jetty to sunbathe by the sea and access the water via the ladder. The views are stunning but the stairs in the heat can be a killer - and i am fit and active and found it a struggle at times. Overall we would go back here again but this property would not be great for anyone with any form of mobility issues.
Daiana
I had a wonderful stay overall. The property was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The views were amazing, and even enjoyed being away from the busy crowds of Amalfi and was so peaceful. My room was amazing and private, which I loved. Asia was super helpful with everything, arranging the private transportation from and to Naples, helping with recommendations and the best recommendations for a tour to Capri, loved it.
Future guests should know that the property is about 30–35 minutes WALK from Amalfi town center, and 10 min buss ride, but it may take a little time to understand the bus system . The hotel can arrange golf cart transportation, but I recommend confirming the price beforehand, since once I arrived in Amalfi from taking the golf cart he tried to charge me double (which I don’t think was the hotel’s fault)
Also, be prepared for a lot of stairs—much more than I expected! After a couple of days, though, I got used to it and even considered it part of my daily workout haha.
If you don’t mind some walking and want a peaceful Amalfi Coast experience, with breathtaking views, this is a great place to stay. 🇮🇹✨

The room was very tidy and the views were awesome. They had a great breaksfast with staff that was very friendly and accomodating. We opted to eat dinner there and it was a great meal. Once again the stqaff were wonderful.
You should take a golf cart to the hotel. 30 euros. Once you get to the hotel there are many stairs. It is on the side of a cliff. If you can not walk stairs then do not come. Do not bring a lot of heavy luggage to this place. This little gem sets on the top off a look out cliff. There are many stairs to get to the water. The stairs down were a gem though. They had a place to stop for hot tub, and another stop before the water with sun chairs under shade. Our Air condition had a problem that night. The staff came with a fan and we opened a window. The best part was at about 11:45 pm we saw fire works from our room. A festival was happening that night. I would recomend this place and I would stay again. Asia was at the front desk and arranged for us to have a boat get us from the dock to the cutest beach restaurant that had tasty food and good service Asia also arranged for our golf cart to take us back to the ferry. A TERRIFIC Place!!!

Garry
All the staff from our initial welcome by Asia, to the breakfast, housekeeping team and dinners prepared by Angelo in the evening were super welcoming and friendly - thank you!
The property itself perched high on the hillside had beautiful views over the ocean and spots to enjoy morning coffee and breakfast.
Although a little out of Amalfi town, a super spot for relaxation away from the hustle and bustle.
Villa Santa Maria is a spot my wife and I would love to return to - thank you for a wonderful stay!

Andrew
First off, there is NO parking. Not even a place to pull over
Lisa
Asia is the host and takes care of everything you need. The breakfast in the morning is freshly made for you. I loved the private rooftop area to lay out on and private beach area was so cool to walk too and enjoy. This plays has great views and just a 4-5 minute golf cart ride into the heart of Amalfi with all the shops and restaurants. FIVE STARS *****
Sharani
An amazing villa with unbearable views and top notch service by front desk help Asia. She is very communicative n helpful with all info even before arriving via WhatsApp. The views are beyond description n it’s close to Amalfi port n restaurants. Highly recommend.
Nelson
This place was perfect in every way. The views were wonderful, the staff were amazing and very helpful.
Andrea Lorraine
My best friend and I spent 12 nights at this stunning boutique hotel, using it as our perfect home base. Tucked away on the outskirts of Amalfi, this cliffside gem felt like a hidden paradise—peaceful, quiet, and boasting breathtaking views in every direction. We even had a private deck with a jacuzzi overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The staff—shoutout to Asia, Tareeq, and Angelo—were incredible. They were so friendly and constantly went above and beyond, even trekking up and down the stairs all day to greet guests and help with luggage.
Fair warning: there are about 170 stairs to get down to the hotel (I didn't count, but someone did! 😂). It’s a bit of a workout, so it’s definitely not the spot for anyone with mobility issues.
We cherished every second of our stay and cannot recommend this hotel enough!
Marcus
Breakfast was great and convenient. The views were amazing
Muhammad Rashad
Villa Santa Maria had breathtaking views and the staff was extremely helpful and accommodating. It’s not a luxury hotel per se and the room we booked looked a little different from what the photos show but nonetheless it was a good experience. The breakfast every morning was amazing. You can walk down to a private beach from the hotel as well. All in all we had a great stay!
Laura
Asia and Tarik were unbelievably nice and helpful. I have never had such good service. It’s 148 steps down and 148 steps back up, but was so worth it. We had the junior suite which is off by itself and secluded. Asia called us a week before and the morning of. She met us at the top of the stairs and walked us down to our room and took took the time to explain everything and answered our questions. The view is one of a kind. This is definitely a must.
Marjan
They were around 100 stone steps to get to the property and no elevator or other way to get to the lobby with suitcases. The property didn’t mention about the long and steep steps in the property description. The website pictures and explanations was misleading. If we knew about the steps we won’t book that hotel. It was very difficult to get around. The check out was the worse part because there was no staff to help with the suitcases. The breakfast was not that great either.
Joseph
Everything about starting here was amazing. Asia was extremely helpful from start to finish. She reached out days before we arrived and even personally made sure we got to the ferry. 10/10

Amazing stay on the Amalfi Coast
This place is incredible! An amazing cliffside setting with direct access to the emerald water of the Mediterranean. However, because of its setting, there are a lot of stairs (not for those who are out of shape). There are 165 steps down to the accommodation from the main road (staff helped with luggage) and another 300 steps down to the water. That said, this is a spectacular location and a wonderful place to stay. Clean well-appointed rooms. We stayed in a room with our own deck area and private hot tub. Other rooms share a communal hot tub. Great made-to-order breakfast is included. Very friendly and helpful staff. Nearby restaurants within walking distance. Parking is very limited and driving and parking along the Amalfi Coast are tricky and tight. We drove and found parking along the road with our small car. Keep the hotel posted with your method of travel (car, driver, taxi, etc.) so that they can anticipate your arrival. Try lunch at the nearby seaside restaurant only accessible by the water (they will pick you up at the hotel dock area for free). Can't recommend this place enough.
Richard
Salvatore and Angelo were fantastic an made our stay at the hotel one of our favorite hotels in Italy.
Salvatore was the heart of hotel and ensured our stay was very memorable.

We loved our stay! Salvatore, Angelo and the entire staff were fabulous. The breakfast was excellent and they had accommodations for my dietary needs (gluten and dairy free). The view is worth every penny! We loved the private water access and hot tub. The walk to Amalfi is beautiful and there are amazing restaurants just nearby as well. We definitely recommend!
Trevor
Salvatore and his staff welcomed us immediately and treated us like family, or better.
The property is beautiful, the swimming at the ocean was awesome, the breakfasts were fantastico. Salvatore had many suggestions and and helpful tips for seeing the Coast.
He was amazing.

We had a very lovely experience, thanks to the special attention of Salvatore, Angelo and all the staff of Villa Santa Maria. The location of the hotel is exceptional and being able to walk to the ocean and swim is very special. Loved all the steps on the property. It would have been nice to use the sauna but it was out of order. Otherwise everything was perfect and I would definitely come back and recommend.
Jordan
Salvatore and the staff were awesome, the property was beautiful and the water was awesome. Some good spots to eat around the property and they will even schedule a boat to come pick you up from the dock and take you to a little beach club with a pretty good restaurant
Irina
Villa Santa Maria is nothing short of magical. Perched on the edge of Amalfi, it offers the best of both worlds—just minutes from the charm of the historic town, yet with its own secluded private beach and the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean right at your doorstep.
My husband and I spent a week here, and from the moment we arrived, every detail felt like a dream. We were welcomed by Salvatore, the wonderful hotel manager, who instantly made us feel part of the Villa Santa Maria family. His warmth and care set the tone for an unforgettable stay.
The entire team went above and beyond—Angelo, the kind night manager, always ready with a smile; his cheerful companion Gerardo; and the two lovely ladies who served us breakfast each morning as if we were old friends. Their genuine hospitality made every moment feel special.
This was more than just a holiday—it was an experience we’ll never forget. The beauty of the villa, the warmth of the people, and the serenity of the sea combined into something truly extraordinary. For anyone who doesn’t mind a few steps, I couldn’t recommend Villa Santa Maria more highly. We can’t wait to return!

What an incredible stay and hope to be back
This villa is the ultimate!!!! we had an incredible time staying here. So much to offer and more!!!!!! It is just like the pictures!!! A big shout out to Sal, and all his staff. He is such a genuinely nice guy who wants his guests to have the best time. He goes above and beyond. I was celebrating my birthday and he made it very special.
Nick
Salvatore is the best! One of the best places I have stayed while traveling
John
This is the BEST hotel in Amalfi. The staff is genuinely so kind and truly care about ALL of their guests and really treat you like family while you are here. The breakfast is phenomenal. We enjoyed every single aspect of this hotel. The views are absolutely incredible. Really will recommend this hotel to everyone going to Amalfi. They helped give us recommendations and make sure we were comfortable getting around. Really have nothing but over the top, positive things to say about Villa Santa Maria.
Amanda
Amalfi’s hidden gem
Our stay at Villa Santa Maria was absolutely unforgettable. Even with just 2 days and 3 nights, the concierge, Salvatore, made us feel welcomed right from the start. He personally guided us over the phone upon our arrival in Amalfi and remained readily available throughout our stay—whether it was helping us with directions, recommendations, or even navigating the local bus schedule.
We stayed in the Junior Villa Suite, which offered plenty of privacy, stunning views, and a relaxing hot tub. Breakfast was delicious every morning—don’t miss ordering the fruit of the day!
Overall, we would gladly return to Villa Santa Maria on a future trip to Amalfi, thanks largely to the exceptional hospitality Salvatore provided.

Great place to stay. Absolutely loved the view. Marvelous staff, they made our stay there a great experience. Thank you and will return :)
Eli
A true gem in Amalfi
Amazing simple little hotel. Great location, a cozy private beach (expect lots of stairs, as usual in Amalfi), nice breakfast, comfortable beds. Excellent service orchestrated by Sasa. Location quite comfortable, walkable to the Amalfi center, plus busses. Several nice restaurants within short walking distance. There are lots of stairs to the stree level but that's Amalfi. Highly recommended, hope to come back.
Lihani
Amazing view and lovely breakfast. The staff very nice and helpful. A bit far from the centre.
Lisa
A view and sea access to remember forever
A beautiful property well run with modern accommodations, great breakfast & dinner, staff meticulously caring for your needs and the property. This property is situated such that the 8 rooms, the terraces for eating, sitting, sunning, and swimming are private and exclusive. Salvatore and staff are phenomenal.
Richard
Salvatore was amazing! The food was great the service was out of this world they all went above and beyond this was one of the best vacations we’ve had and glad they were apart of it.
David
Loved the property amazing views. Staff was great attentive to our needs. Private Beach and Jacuzzi. Breakfast was amazing well done. But be prepared to walk lots of steps not for the week 160 steps down to hotel and another 200 to get to the beach.
Jennie
Comfortable stay and the staff was so friendly and helpful. They reached out to me ahead of time to provide location details and find out our arrival time. The hotel is around 200? steps down from the road. After finding out that we were driving there they gave me some options. We could either park it with them but would not have easy access since it’s not stored onsite or park on the narrow street. We parked on the street. A staff member greeted us by the road and helped get our heaviest pieces of luggage’s down the stairs.

Absolutely stunning
I didn’t realize Italy was actually this amazing. Salvatore and his team were super friendly and accommodating. I brought my 74 year old grandma here and they treated her like family. Don’t have anything to complain about. Are all Italians this amazing?
Amanda
The host was very hospitable, responsive, and let us check-in early and enjoy the gorgeous private beach! The views were impeccable and the room was spacious and clean as advertised. I would come here again!
Paul
The staff is the most friendliest and helpful staff I’ve ever seen. Beautiful location. For all newcomers please reach out to staff beforehand (my mistake) and they will help you with reservations, local tips, and hook you up with all the local connections and keep you away from the Tourist Traps in Amalfi and inconvenient travel paths
Michelle
We loved staying in villa Santa Maria from the start Salvatore was friendly. When we got there out of breath he told us he had reached out to us so that him and the staff could help us but we didn’t have service so we did not

Very special location. We loved it and plan to come again.
Avoid bringing a car. Not needed. You won’t get parking anywhere unless you pay a lot and it is not really necessary/required…

Beautiful property and views. Nighttime facility caretaker was emotional over a missed local restaurant reservation - we were told it was a busy restaurant though no one was there when we went and thought they were closed. The caretaker refused to listen and decided to ignore us for the rest of our stay and not offer any service such as turning on the sauna for us. Room was advertised with private patio and hot tub. Patio was public for all guests to use right outside our window, because of that we couldn’t open it for privacy. Hot tub was cold - not heated.

Outstanding Stay at Villa Santa Maria
Our stay here was amazing! We cried when leaving because we did not want it to end. Service and food were excellent, and Francesca, the manager, was wonderful. I will return on my next trip to the Amalfi Coast!
Jeremy
The staff here is extremely attentive and pleasant. They went above and beyond to make
sure our stay was comfortable.
The food is delicious. My personal opinion is that the food here was better than all the restaurants we tried in the Amalfi area.
Overall, this spot was amazing for all the available amenities and for the ability to just relax and chill.
Definitely would recommend this spot for anyone wanting to be in the Amalfi area

Amazing property with a staff that will do anything to make your stay perfect.

We loved staying at Villa Santa Maria!
Every single staff member was so helpful and always available.
The rooms were clean and the hotel was quiet and the private beach was amazing.
The free breakfast is great and they also offer dinner and lunch as well (you pay for of course.) the view when you’re eating is just gorgeous.
The reviews about stairs are true, but in the Amalfi coast, that is just how it is! The whole city is on a hill, so you can’t escape stairs no matter where you go, and the stairs really aren’t that bad at all.
This hotel is about a 8-10 minute drive to the Amalfi piazza and beach and 30 minutes to positano. We just rented a car and had no trouble with parking or getting around with the car when we stayed.
We would Defenitely stay here again(:

Paradise stay in Amalfi
Our stay at Villa Santa Maria felt like we were in paradise! Prior to arriving Francesca messaged us on to confirm at what time we would be arriving and advised us on how to get to the villa. We always took the Bus to and from Amalfi. It was a quick 10min bus ride and only costs 1.50 euros each way. Otherwise, the Taxi’s are extremely expensive (we were quoted 50 euros to bring us to the Villa)
Upon our arrival a gentleman met us at the bus stop and carried our suitcases down the 185 steps to the Villa! There we were met by Francesca who offered us drinks and welcomed us. To our surprise, the room was already ready. We booked an ocean view superior room. The views were Breathtaking!!
The room was spacious, comfortable and very clean!
The beach/sauna/spa were all very fun to use and accessible. The ocean water was beautiful and warm.
The amenities at the Villa are beautiful and the food was also exceptionally good (Cesar salad YUM)! We were recommended to try Ciccio’s restaurant which is a short walk away and was delicious. Francesca helped us book as we were having trouble online.
We also realized we would be late to our booking for our car pickup in Salerno, and read online that some people had issues when they were late. Francesca called for us and explained in Italian that our Ferry would be arriving in Salerno later than expected.
We were extremely pleased with our stay and would definitely come back. Thank you Francesca for everything
Highly recommend!!

We had a wonderful 3 nights! Our room with a jacuzzi on our own deck was lovely and perfect all day. The walk to the swim deck was beautiful and sunning and swimming delightful. Most important the help from the staff/family was exceptional! They gave us help with dining and transportation and provided a delicious breakfast every morning. We had a relaxing wonderful time.
Yash
This place is a hidden gem. It has the best service, amazing staff and incredible location
Pramoth
Highly recommend this place to stay near Amalfi.
Jude
A place like this makes the Amalfi Coast visit memorable. Just loved this space! Staff was kind and helpful.
Alexandra
An absolute gem off the beaten path of Amalfi! Yes the stairs are killer-no doubt about it. There are about 180 stairs to get down to the hotel and then about 200 more to get down to the private beach. If accessibility isn’t an issue, don’t hesitate for one second to choose this villa hotel. The views are breathtaking from top to bottom. The little beach feels like a private serene escape. And of course the staff is friendly and accommodating. We were on our honeymoon and got upgraded to stay in their private jacuzzi suite making us feel like the only ones there. Francesca and Guiseppe were always there for us- arranging shuttle services, restaurant reservations, water taxis, a late-night snack and so on. They made us feel beyond attended to. Amalfi’s main square is in walkable distance from the hotel-about 40 mins at a slower pace. To get to Positano, they arranged a water taxi that picked us up from the hotels private beach. Overall, we had an unbelievable stay!

My husband and I recently stayed here for our babymoon and it was the best decision!
Staff & Service: Francesca, Angelo, Gerardo - everyone there treats you like family and wants to make sure you are happy and comfortable. Francesca went above and beyond to help us arrange transportation and navigate the surrounding towns.
Property: In many of the reviews, you are going to read that there are a lot of stairs. Yes - it's true however, I visited this property 7 months pregnant and the stairs didn't bother me one bit. The reality is, this property is a hidden gem tucked away into a cliff. The views are incredible and it's very quiet/peaceful. In addition to that, you have private access to the beautiful water and a private beach. To me, this was priceless and worth every stair in order to get to and from the water. Every morning, I couldn't wait to open up the windows from our room and to look out at the ocean. Additionally, the rooms are super spacious, clean, and accommodating.
Location: It is important to note that this hotel is a 5 minute drive to the city center of Amalfi. Francesca was amazing at arranging taxis into town but note that every trip into town is roughly $20-$30 euros each way. This is not any fault of Villa Santa Maria, this is just the going rate for taxis in Amalfi. The good news is, there are good restaurants near the hotel that are walking distance.
I wouldn't have stayed anywhere else, Villa SM was the highlight of our Amalfi vacation, 5-stars!

Premium price for an average place
This was our honeymoon stay. We’ve booked a junior suite, Room 8, for almost a $1,000 per night. This place is clean and acceptable; however, it is not worth a $1,000 a night. We had to walk in the dark as the lights worked on a timer and you needed to press the button for the lights to turn on. We were unable to use the jacuzzi at night as there were a lot of noises coming from the bushes and night and the poor lighting made it very difficult to see what was around. As I said, we paid premium price for an average stay. The view is great tho. Just be prepared to make your own arrangements for parking and be prepared to walk so many stairs as this property is located at a lower level and you will need to walk down the stairs, and up, to go in and out.

Forever in love with villa Santa Maria
Morning to evening staff Francesca was absolutely wonderful. Arranged drivers for us knew local restaurants and helped us from check in to check out. Night staff Angelo is an amazing cook and absolute sweetheart. Would return to this glorious resort in a heart beat.
Joseph
Villa Santa Maria is an amazing property with amazing staff. From the minute we got there, the staff was attentive to our every need.
We were welcomed with a glass of wine, shown the amenities, and our bags were waiting in our room when we walked upstairs.
Francesca and her staff are beyond 5 stars.

Beautiful views. room was spacious, we did have issues adjusting the AC and the internet would not work in our room. breakfast was good. Warning to anyone visiting, there are a LOT of stairs to get to the villa. The staff are available to help with carrying luggage but beware the stairs. it isn't located in Almalfi, so you need a taxi/bus to get to and from, but their is a bus stop in front of the hotel.
Kyra
This was an amazing stay for me and my husband! The place was absolutely beautiful, with a sauna, free breakfast overlooking the most amazing ocean view, huge rooms, and a quick little walk that takes you to three private locations on the water, with the last one leading you to a little private cove and beach you can swim to. Truly the best stay we have had in all of Italy. The service was 11/10, with Francesca, Angelo, Gerardo, and the other amazing staff who all made our stay perfect! We would recommend this place to everyone we know based on service alone!
Alexander
nice location for a quiet, lovely vacation. breakfast was amazing, lovely coastside views. sauna was enjoyable as well. francesca and her team were very helpful as well.
Jonatan
My stay was one of a kind. Very special. Francesca and staff did an incredible job with helping us with transportation and making us feel at home. I would recommend this to anyone planning on visiting the coast. The views are surreal! I will be going back very soon.
Gregg
The entire villa was amazing with unbelievable panoramic views. Francesca and the rest of the staff were wonderful and they take great care to ensure their guests relax and enjoy their stay.
Morgan
We absolutely loved this villa. The staff was extremely helpful in every aspect. The views were unreal. The location was convenient as it was on the bus route, and water taxis were available to pick you up from the property. Francesca (property manager) assisted us with directions, tickets, reservations, and so much more. We will definitely be back to this property!

The hotel is beautiful the service is excellent, but you have almost a 150 steps to go in or out of the hotel.
Check in and check out you have to carry the luggage

This property is notable for its access to the ocean with lounge chairs near the water. Many partying boats were anchored right off our resort with people enjoying the water and sun. Very nice. Many many stairs but that is the price to get up and down the cliff. Otherwise a pretty basic property, with limited food options (although a nice breakfast) and standard rooms.
Gabriel
Best hotel in amalfi coast
No words to describe this amazing hotel. I am a traveler and I can say that from 70 countries, this place is in my top 3 best hotel views ever. Super calm, the vibe and energy are just incredible! The owner, Ms Francesca is the sweetest owner I’ve ever met! It is a must if you are around the area! I can keep writing but no need. And yes, I read from other guests that there are many stairs.. it is true but what do you expect? Elevator in a cliff…? It is worth it.
nicole
Gorgeous stay tucked into the coastline. Be prepared for stairs down to the hotel and beach, but well worth the extra workout. The private beach area was empty every time we went for a morning swim and was breathtaking. Breakfast on the patio was a beautiful touch and start to the day.
