Hotel Residence San Pietro

Perfect location. Easy to check in to. Great for families - It is also an apartment complex. Our space was massive and we felt like we were locals. There is a lovely swimming pool where they also serve pastries and coffee for breakfast. We enjoyed some limoncello spritzes in the lobby bar area before we headed out for the night. Decor is a bit dated but still is highly recommended.

The hotel was a pleasant surprise for a good price. It's very spacious and offers many recreation areas including a swimming pool and Internet. The room was compact but comfortable and the bathroom spotless and modern. Breakfast was great and generous. The hotel is run by a family and they are very pleasant and outgoing, helpful and friendly. The place itself is beautifully and aesthetically decorated, and just two minutes drive from the main road along the coast. We highly recommend it!!!

Four of us--wife, myself, 13 and 10 year old daughters. Girls too big to squeeze into one European hotel room, so we booked two wherever we went. Amalfy coast was first stop in Italy for three days. Looked at dozens of hotels in several towns, finally, after they started blurring together, picked this one because it looked closer to the Med than it actually was, and it had a pool. The price was very reasonable. Accidentally picked one of the "flatter" towns on the coast, a bonus. After a grueling intro to Amalfy coast hill road driving, our TomTom GPS pulled us right in the hotel's driveway. Don't even think about driving without GPS in Italy. Were greeted by the gentleman who was the manager and his name escapes me. His English was very good and his welcoming hospitality even better. The hotel is not large, but not too small either. Our two rooms adjoined at the end of a short corridor. There's an elevator about the size of a phone booth, but great for luggage. The rooms were spacious enough, had a nice patio, recently redecorated/modernized; in short, better than I expected. Our patio overlooked a 400 year old former church which we later learned from a town old-timer was used as an American Army hospital in WWII which I found touching. And the pool? The girls never got in it once. My one knock: they close the pool at 7pm, a good 2 hours before dark in July. We never got back from our sight-seeing in time for the pool. The Med public beach is at the end of the road, less than half a mile away. We drove and parked in the metered spots across the street. There's a boardwalk (OK, concrete) right above the beach with a cafe where the wife and I could easily supervise the girls and have a cold Peronni beer at the astounding rate of 1 Euro/bottle! (Paid 10 for the same bottle at a joint near the Vatican a week later) Oh, and breakfast was included in the rate, though nothing mentioned that in the booking info and we were not expecting it. Good breakfast too; continental. They gave us a couple of good restaurant recommendations as well. Didn't tell us about the paid parking spots (blue lined means parking meter of some sort in Italy) being 24 hours. Thought after 9pm it would be free and got a 23 Euro ticket. Here again the friendly hotel staff helped out: they knew the intricacies of paying the ticket and did so for me, even giving me a receipt. Summing: better than expected bargain, comfortable, family friendly, would definitely stay there again.

Hotel a short walk from beach front, free shuttle bus provided by hotel. Mini bar reasonably priced, breakfast ok, the compulsory use of swimming caps for the pool was the biggest disappointment with this quaint family run hotel.
