Boutique Hotel Ristorante Don Alfonso 1890

The Don Alfonso is one of the most incredible properties I have stayed at. We felt like part of the family the entire time and the customer service is the best I have ever experienced. The food is incredible, the staff is amazing and the location is perfect. The “breakfast” that comes with your room is a 5 star full spread of pastries, breads, and whatever you want to order. My wife and I stayed to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary and will come back as soon as we can. Thank you to the entire family and staff for sharing your paradise with us, we loved every second.

From top to bottom , this hotel and restaurant scores 100 on my list. A total pleasure…. They make you feel at home, and yet pampered enormously. A wonderful experience.

This hotel exceeded all of our expectations! We wish we had booked it for more nights. Unfortunately, they had no openings. Can’t say enough about the service and the gorgeous property. The breakfast was one of the best we’ve had in any hotel.

Unbelievable service at all times. The exceptionally high level of service is not quite for me personally, but a great experience overall.

Nowhere better to stay in town; elegant rooms. Very convenient for the ** restaurant, too!

The welcoming hospitality and true passion of the owners - incredible and inspirational.

We received a warm welcome at this family owned hotel and restaurant. They did everything to make our stay very special in arranging for transportation to Sorrento and a visit to Positano. The breakfast is amazing and the cooking class was fun. Make sure you dine in their restaurant and ask to see the amazing wine cellar.

This family owned boutique hotel which is part of the Relais et Chateaux group is a MUST! The complex is a quad surrounded by 'typical' Italian Villas, anchored by their Michelin rated restaurant (had 3 stars in the 2000s, now has 2 stars) which had an amazing price/experience value and was nearly full every night. In the large courtyard annexed by the various villas there is a small-ish pool (which has a couple of spa-like water jets on each side) with a relaxing deck. Proprietor Mario and family/team make a point to see each of their guest every day to say hello and make sure their stay is going well (their motto actually is: "guest services as a vocation" and it shows!). Since the property only has a few rooms, it never felt crowded (we spent 4 days there and only saw ~5 other couples) and the rooms themselves are very well insulated with good central air. After 11 days in Italy and having stayed at 4 different hotel - this was by far the best price/quality/value and really the only place where they seemed to really care about their craft! Not to be missed: -> they have their own farm 5km from the hotel where they grow fruits/vegetable for the restaurants (guests are welcomed to visit, sadly we were not able to make it) AND have an amazing basement crypt/wine cellar. Tip 1: They make an amazing lemon liquor in house that is not to be missed Tip 2: Breakfast IS A MUST / an experience on its own - plan to spend at least 45 mins - 1 hour to enjoy in the courtyard.

An outstanding boutique hotel and restaurant. It would have been nice to have a room with a view but the room itself was beautiful. The "backyard" of the hotel was a gorgeous area for breakfast, swimming or sunning and simple relaxing.

We checked into the hotel, it only has 8 rooms, ours was gorgeous, large with a fabulous bathroom, loads of soft towels, the bed was amazing - a beautiful terrace with views of Mount Vesuvius- our friends were given the cottage which was a divine house, bathroom and lounge downstairs with the bedroom upstairs and a gorgeous garden. Pool area small but sufficient as we had driven from the south and just wanted to chill for the afternoon. Dinner was an experience in itself, it’s all organic and mostly home grown, there were about 25 chefs all working extremely hard to produce a culinary experience which you won’t forget. Obviously, it’s pricey but you get what you pay for and it’s a fabulous experience not to be missed. Service is superb even breakfast was delicious and we would definitely go back one day and they are very proud of what their family has produced.

Reviewing this hotel, and its 2 Michelin starred restaurant, seems the inadequate thing to do. Words cannot describe our experience at Don Alfonso 1890. The reception and service is second-to-none. The room was huge and gorgeous. The grounds were lovely. But best of all is the attention and care received from the sibling owners of this wonderful establishment, Livia, Mario and Ernesto. No stone was left unturned to assure our wonderful stay. And, of course, you cannot stay there without eating in the wonderful restaurant. Again, praise seems inadequate, but having eaten in many Michelin starred restaurants in Europe, this is on a whole different level. I booked this hotel thinking it was rather expensive, and left feeling like I hadn't paid enough!

This wonderful restaurant/rooms is located in the hills above Sorrento. I am now a regular visitor having been back 4 times. Service is exceptional and the pool and rooms magnificent. The village is far from the mass tourist crowd of Sorrento. Great walk up to the nearby Monastery too. Food in the restaurant is truly wonderful and creative. Well worth the money. I love this place.

I cannot describe how nice our stay was at this place! We arrived after a long drive in Amalfi coast around midnight and the hotel staff were as friendly as it was noon :) Livia came to greet us at that time of the night and offered us fresh limonata which was awesome. The room was clean and very welcoming and quiet. We had a very nice breakfast as well. Next time we're going to Amalfi we will only stay here.

This hotel/restaurant is outstanding. This is my third stay. The food is brilliant; service fantastic and the place is beautiful. A haven of peace.

Don alfonso is by far the best hotel we have stayed at so far. Family run hotel, amazing hospitality, service, ambience and food!

Beautiful garden delicated indoor decoration warm hospitality

I stayed for one night and eat are their Michelin star restaurant. Everything was impeccable. Mario, Ernesto, Livia, and, of course, Don Alfonso, were charming.

Don Alfonso is an amazing place if you are looking for a treat, particularly as a "foodie" then do yourself a favour and stay here. the staff treated us like family and we were sad that we had to leave.

What a lovely hotel in a lovely small town. The hotel and restaurant are clearly the owner's passion and you can tell. From the warm and friendly greetings to the time we left we amazed by the staff and service. The food was amazing, the pool and lounge areas were perfect on the hot days and rooms were large and well appointed. This was by far one of the best hotels we've stayed in in Europe.
