Villa Santa Maria - Luxury Sea View Rooms

This Villa is heaven. We spent two nights here as our base for visiting Amalfi town and Ravello, and we consider it our secret spot that we hope to one day return. We visited in August during high tourist season, and this place was just so private, quiet, and really felt like we had it to ourselves. Francesca, Gerardo, and the chef helped our every need. It was perfect. One of the nights we chose to walk to Amalfi for the evening, 30 min walk with amazing views. The cliff views, the amazing breakfast, the gorgeous room. So romantic!

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.

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.

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.

Fantastic vacation at Villa Santa Maria and wonderful hospitality by Franscesa. Clean but small rooms, which suited us perfect as we were enjoying the outdoors from morning to late evening. The dock and sun beds at the sea was amazing. We used water taxi to travel around the coast and could be picked up directly at the hotel. We also stayed many hours in the sun beds, enjoying the access to the Mediterranean. Highly recommended for couples traveling to enjoy Amalfi with surroundings.

Great boutique hotel ideal for resting, a couple of miles up the road from Amalfi and 5 minutes’s walk away from some very good restaurants. Be mindful that is halfway up (or down) the hill. It has its own steps down to the sea, several sunbathing spots (so one can find sunshine at all hours of day) and a jetty for small boats. Overall a restful, peaceful stay - just what we needed for the last leg of our honeymoon across Italy.

Stay here. The hotel is small, just a few rooms, a home-like scale and setting. Unlike central Amalfi or Positano, this property, down the hill from the main coast road, is in a quiet, semi-rural location. 115 steps down from the street and another 360 steps up from a private "beach" platform with access to the Tyrrhenian Sea, the hotel is on the side of a mountain. Do not come here if you have any trouble with steps!! The setting is magical: placid Mediterranean views over lemon groves, amid quiet bougainvillea-scented terraces. The hotel itself is modest, with a small lobby and lovely but simple, modern rooms. A hot tub and sauna are also available. The staff is magnificent: by day, Franca runs the place. She is serene and informed, and has given us wonderful suggestions for how to spend our time here. She is resourceful too, always ready to help with a reservation, transportation, or logistics. Breakfasts are light and delicious: fresh fruit and pastries, eggs and yogurt, coffee, tea, and more. Lunch and dinner are also available from the modest professional kitchen. We enjoyed a late spaghetti alio e oglio with lemon one evening. We are so glad we chose the Villa Santa Maria over the more expensive, less serene options. This is a great place from which you can enjoy the Amalfi Cosst.

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.

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!
