This was our first trip to the Amalfi Coast and we are so happy that we chose Hotel Belvedere in Conca dei Marini. It is just outside the city of Amalfi - about a 10 minute car ride- and a world away from the hectic city atmosphere. It is built into the cliff and has an old world charm that is indescribable.
The staff is warm and welcoming.
The rooms are crisp, clean and well air-conditioned . We had a lovely terrace with a gorgeous view of both cliffs and ocean. The pool is several flights down by elevator and right on the cliff with a swim pad to access the ocean a few staircases below.
We ate every breakfast there and if you have the option to include it with your room, I highly recommend it. Not only do they have delicious homemade pastries and fresh fruit but eggs, bacon and Italian cold cuts . Something for everyone. Also, there is no where else nearby to get breakfast as you are on a coastal road rather than a town.
They serve a magnificent dinner as well, with a different menu each night. You can choose between a price fixed 3 course meal or an Al a carte menu. The staff caters to you, remembering your preferences. I can say that I have never felt so well cared for in any hotel I have stayed. We celebrated our 40th anniversary there and they made sure that it was a perfect evening.
If you are looking for a special, quiet, romantic get away- this is the spot.
