Monte Solaro Chairlift Tours and Activities

Reasonable location, about 20 minutes walk uphill from Amalfi ferry, but don't do it with luggage as the road is narrow in parts and busy with traffic! Great view from our room and the air conditioning was a life-saver. We didn't know, but they can help you with transfers from the ferry and to/from the aiport. Would have been good to know that before we paid 30EUR for a 4-minute tuk-tuk ride up the hill when we arrived, and we had also booked the bus to the airport before we got there. You can't have your own food and drink here, which we thought was a miss as it meant we had to eat out every night. One night in particular we just wanted to grab a pizza and sit on the terrace to enjoy with the view but we weren't able to do that. Overall, okay place to stay but I think I'd try somewhere else next time.

We stayed at this hotel for six nights. The location and sea view are absolutely stunning and were the highlight of our stay. The housekeeping staff were consistently kind, polite, and helpful, despite what appeared to be a difficult working environment. Unfortunately, our experience with the management and front desk was the exact opposite. They were consistently rude, dismissive, argumentative, and unwelcoming. Not once during our stay did we feel genuinely welcomed. The hotel also seems determined to charge extra for almost everything. Need ice? €10 service charge. We also asked for drinking water and were told they could provide two cans, but they would simply be deducted from our daily housekeeping water allowance. It felt unnecessarily petty. The centrally controlled air conditioning was another major issue. The room never became cool enough, and when we raised the concern, the manager simply said, quite bluntly, “That’s how it is.” We eventually had to request a fan just to sleep comfortably. What bothered us most was witnessing management speak to housekeeping staff in a raised, degrading manner on more than one occasion. In summary: beautiful location and incredible views, but these positives were overshadowed by an arrogant, disrespectful management team and poor customer service. We would not stay here again.

The views were amazing. Very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely food and cocktails. Sunsets were extraordinary!
