Very reasonable price considering what's included and the beauty of the location and luxury of the hotel. I'd recommend this hotel in a second and come back for more.

**REVIEW FOR RESTAURANT**…read more What an incredible experience... Beautiful view from the terrace and absolutely unmatched service. From the hotel employees who greeted us and showed us to the restaurant, to every single person on the waitstaff, to the chef himself - all incredible. We opted for the smaller tasting menu for dinner which came with so much more than what was listed on the menu. The meal itself was creative and was beyond delicious - plus pure art in presentation - and the wine pairing was absolutely brilliant...Perhaps one of the best we've experienced. We wanted for absolutely nothing the entire evening and were made to feel like family, especially when the chef paid us a visit. It was just spectacular - one of the best meals we've had in all of Italy - and worth every penny.

A very beautiful setting. The rooms were clean, with fresh towels daily. The food was average. My…read moredislike was the 50+ steps to and fro to breakfast, pool, beach. Not great for those who might have trouble walking. The WiFi was spotty and sending emails were difficult. Again the town below was a treat. Over all a little pricey.

Palazzo has all the modern amenities you need while making you feel a million miles away from it all at the same time. The staff is friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and best of all fun! You feel like a resident at some 1930's era Italian villa complete with sweetest town in Italy a few steps down the beach. There is lots to do around the area, but the best thing might be walking the grounds, early morning or lat afternoon dips in the clear blue Tyrrhenian Sea simply having a drink at the bar and soaking in the timeless sensibility that permeates the place. Tech heads beware - internet is sketch, but come on...do you really need it here?

Look! Up in the sky! It's a hotel. It's an apartment. It's Pallazo Dogana!…read more What is this place? Our accommodation was a bedroom with a sitting room that opened up to a kitchen, all with stunning views through large windows across the marina at Agropoli and out into the deep blue waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Cool white tiles, white walls and ceilings accented with deep blue curtains, giving it a serene, Mediterranean feel. There is a restaurant downstairs that is open in the summer time, and breakfast is an opt-in affair. We visited in late October, after the summer rush was over, but before the rains set in. Just outside the Palazzo is a small beach better suited for catching some rays than swimming, although there are plenty of clean beaches to swim at within a 20 minute walk. To the rear of the building is the bustling Old Town, from which it's an easy to walk up the hill to the promontory where the old convent and castle are surrounded by cosy apartments and trattorias. What struck us about Agropoli is the generosity of everyone we met. This is not a wealthy area, but people offer what they can, making even non-Italian-speakers feel welcome as if special guests in their home. Sounds corny, I know, but you'll know what I mean if you ever go there. What about the food, you ask? The best stuff comes from the sea and it is without parallel. Simple, flavorful, textured, plentiful and CHEAP. This is a wonderful part of the world, genuine, friendly and much better to our minds than the nearby Amalfi Coast.
