We really enjoyed our stay at Il Porticciolo. We choose Amalfi to stay for three nights when exploring the Amalfi coast, and it turned out to be the perfect choice. You can easily reach Ravello (by bus), Capri, Positano and beaches close by (by boat) from there, and enjoy the nice cite centre and restaurants in Amalfi.
The hotel is super nice, yet simple. Only five rooms which makes it very personal, and Carmela and her staff is truly helpful and will go out of their way to assist with everything you might need. Their hospitality and kind manners, a long with the view over the bay from the terass (no balconies in the rooms) makes up for what every you might miss in aspects of luxury. Note that there are many steps to reach the hotell which makes it a bit of an exercise when arriving with baggage.
We did not miss anything when staying here, even though we always wish for balcony, and perhaps a bar or restaurant in hotels, and I will highly recommend it and for sure go back when visiting the coast again. A more warm, genuine and beautiful experience is hard to find.
