We had an absolutely amazing time at Villa Santa Maria and we would recommend staying here to…read moreanyone who wants to visit Amalfi without staying directly in town or in a touristy area. Warning! There are about 120ish (I never counted) stairs to get to and from town, hauling your bags down is tough work but it is so worth the effort once you get to the Villa and see those views. The rooms themselves were on the small end but very clean and well stocked, and the room prices were very reasonable compared to places in Amalfi proper.
Francesca, our host, was so kind, friendly, and funny. The rest of the staff were so willing to help you and I loved when we would ask for something, and they'd say "of course, this is your house." Just a wonderful atmosphere.
You get breakfast every day of your stay, on the first day you fill out the menu of everything you want. We accidentally ordered way too much, depending on your appetite. For a single person: I'd recommend: a coffee, a fruit tray (it's big for sharing), eggs/bacon/toast and maybe one more thing.
We also were graciously allowed to take our wedding photos all around the property, and views were so stunning from every angle!
We had a lovely time staying at Villa Santa Maria and I hope you do, too!
