Hotel Floridiana - Amalfi

10

My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Floridiana to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary.Staying here was a wonderful experience and the staff ensured our celebration was excellent and extremly personal. The help and advice of the owner and all the staff was of the best and ensured we discovered the beauty of Amalfi and the coast. Restaurant advice was accurate & without biase. I would unreservedly recommend this hotel to anyone.

9.3

An excellent hotel with welcoming staff and beautiful well-sized bedrooms. Excellent location. Will appeal to couples and families alike.

9.8

The Floridian is a little gem in the lovely coastal town of Amalfi. We stayed three nights [14 - 16 May 09] and throughly enjoyed our time. The personal service and attention provided by Agnas, the hotel's owner, and her wonderful staff exceeded our expectations. We had a junior suite that was more than adequate in size for the two of us. The hotel was super clean and the friendly staff clearly takes pride in their hotel and service. The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of the town so if your're going to spend a night or two in Amalfi stay here you won't be disappointed.

9.9

The best kept secret in Amalfi is the Floridiana Hotel! Wonderful everything! We were aprehensive when we booked through Venere but what a pleasant surprise. Highly recommend! Great breakfast, and clean, clean, rooms throughout, and best of all Agnes (owner) and Eva are the best! Will definately book again.

9.5

Very friendly staff at this boutique hotel which provides an excellent offer of large room, large bathroom, large dining room and an ample breakfast at a reasonable price. Location in the heart of town is great : Easily accessible, yet far from city noise ! Conversely, no view but on a modest courtyard.

8.7

Excellent little hotel, and the owner is very attentive and nice. She does everything to give her guests an enjoyable stay!

9.9

The hotel owner Agnese is an absolute gem. She was wonderful to us from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone.

9.8

This met up to our expectations - especially the friendliness and welcome of Agnes and Maria Rosa. Excellent value for price. Great, quiet location. Small comment - would have preferred softer bed and pillows. Otherwise, great recommendation.

9.8

Very central location. Easy access to bus and boat services. Hotel staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Myself and my husband enjoyed a very pleasant 5 day stay in the Floridiana.

10

The most modern hotel we stayed in during our 3 weeks of travels through italy. Everyone was extremely nice and the hotel had a great location.

9.9

We loved the location within walking distance to all the shops and restaurants - right in the heart of it all, yet removed enough to be quiet. The instructions given on how to find the place and where to park the car were excellent. The staff were helpful, expecially the owner. We loved staying there and would recommend it to all.

9.8

Agnes runs an excellent Hotel location is brilliant staff are extremely helpful.Would definatly return.

10

Excelled in every way.Stayed for 10 nights and enjoyed every single one of them.Well recommended

8.9

Very nice place, excellent service, central yet quiet, rooms could have a bit more character, breakfast only average.

8.9

Nothing is perfect, but Hotel Floridiana came very close. Within the locality I could not consider staying anywhere else. As most other reviews endorse, its success is especially down to Agnese.

9.8

It was a little hard to find. The signage wasn't easily seen.

8.4

The hotel was just as good as we had been led to believe and the owner and staff were really helpful and informative. Our only gripe was the breakfast room, which was a bit dark and formal.

8.9

I highly recommend this hotel. I choose it because of price, location and the reviews. The reviews said the hotel staff were very friendly and helpfull. I wanted to have help as this was my first trip to the Amalfi coast. I consider the customer service the benchmark of all the hotels I have travelled in Italy in 9 years. Agnese (?) the owner chatted with us every morning at breakfast to ask if how we were doing. She called the next hotel and found made arrangements for a taxi to meet us. I was traveling with my over packed family and could not take buses. The breakfast was very good and served in beautiful room with high ceiling and fresco. There is a free luggage service but I did not use it going to the hotel. You would have to find a phone booth or have a cell phone. I thought I did not need it but although the hotel is very close to the port and bus stop, there are several steep steps to get the hotel through an alley. But the location is great and quite. The rooms are very nice. There is a small supermarket near by. I had two double rooms. One was remodeled with a new walkin bathroom but my wife and I chose the 'older' one with a balcony which was great to have lunch on after buying food at market. The older room is quite modern and nice. The difference is the newer room has a spacious walkin bathroom instead of the usual shower with sliding enclosure. Both both rooms were great. Highly recommended especially if you don't speak Italian and want advice about the area. Thank you for a pleasant stay Angnese.

8.0

This hotel is immaculate, great location and really friendly staff.

10

Think 12th century surroudings - the exterior walls date to 1100AD. The location, ambience, luxurious dining room and hugely helpful staff compementary luggage service from the parking garage. This is the best. Only adverse comment was 1 daughter who felt the trundler bed was marginal given room was sold as 'quad'.

9.8

the woman who runs the floridiana was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. the room where breakfast was served was so beautiful and the individual rooms where spacious and clean. you also can't beat the location in the middle of amalfi but off a very quiet alleyway.

10

I chose this hotel because of the many positive critiques on this site. From my experience, the comments posted are accurate and this is a great place to stay in Amalfi. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They made you feel like family. The rooms were clean and very spacious. The breakfast in the morning is nice and in a relaxing atmosphere. The hotel is beautifully renovated and has a very cozy and warm feeling. Amalfi is close to other towns on the coast which are accesible by boat or bus. Both modes of transportaion are within a few minutes walk from the hotel. Overall we had a great time at Floridiana and we look forward to staying here next summer!

9.9

My family (7 adults) stayed at the Floridiana for 2 nights in July 2008. We were very happy with the quality of the rooms and service. Location was excellent. About 25 steps above the square off a small alleyway. Very central, but still quiet. The owner/manager Agnese was very friendly and helpful (she arranged to have our baggage delivered to the pier when we departed by ferry, helped with beach towels and directions to nearby towns, she also spoke excellent English), and the hotel was very easy to find from her emailed directions. The rooms were clean, large and well furnished. The only negative was the construction in the courtyard (though we didn't notice much noise, it was a little messy). Also, it'd be nice if they had 'extra long' cots for their taller guests (we had a triple and a quad room, which both included a cot as one of the beds). The rooms were still very comfortable and reasonably priced, and the pluses of the location, staff, and yummy breakfast (in the breakfast room with a beautiful original fresco ceiling!!), far outwieghed any negatives. We hope to come back and will definitely recommend the Floridiana to friends. I also highly recommend the Marina Grande restaurant at the beach. It was the best food we had in a 14 day trip through Italy. I highly recommend the seafood linguine.

10

Impossible to fault anything. The hotel manager(?)is Agnes. Saint Agnese! Nothing was too much trouble. The hotel garage was terrific. Bags on the electric truck down to the hotel. Everyone is sooo nice. Would not stay anywhere else.

10

This was an excellent hotel for the price. The double room was very spacious, the decor sandard was faultless and the bathroom was of 5 star quality. All staff were very friendly.On the day we left there was no problem in having breakfast at 7 AM even though the normal start time is 7.30AM. Car garaging is free, is also in the old town within 200 metres of the hotel.There is a small beach close bye (300 metres)and the hire of sun bed at 5 euro per person per day is a must and good value. If swimming the area is very suitable but for swimmers only, as you are out of your depth nearly from the time you enter the water. Lifeguards are on duty. This was our first time to Amalfi and we can recommend it highly, particularly the old town with its history, old buildings, narrow streets and most importantly the Italian people. They were without exception most friendly.

9.8

From Antonio's warm and helpful greeting at our late check in to our delicious breakfasts in the beautiful dining room to our incredible hostess, Agnes - we give Floridiana a two thumbs up! When back in Amalfi, we will always stay here! This also happened to be the best value stay on our trip. English spoken.

9.8

Hotel Floridiana surpassed our expectations. For a couple on a budget, this property was in our range and provided more quality and service than places we paid more for. Hotel Owner/Manager Agnes truly knows what attention to detail and customer service really is and strives to anticipate client's needs as well as provide solutions to any problems that may arise. We loved this hotel and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Amalfi Coast.

9.9

service is incredible. The reason we stayed at this hotel was the prior evaluations done by other travelers. The experience began 2 months prior to arriving when the owner and I began exchanging emaisl to determine what to do on the trip and how to get there. It has been one of the most pleasant hotel experiences.

6.9

Stuffs of Floridiana show us great hospitality. We can get important advices from them, for example, restaurants, museum, and other local information. When we go back to amalfi, I definitely stay Floridiana again.

9.9

A lovely hotel, Agnese, the owner, is very nice. We stayed in room 104-excellent in every way, spotlessly clean, beautiful bathroom & the room had a mezzanine floor with jacuzzi bath & lounge area. Breakfast is lovely & more importantly served with a smile. Both Agnese & her staff are very welcoming & very helpful. We have no hesitation in recommending this hotel- great location & great value. Hopefully someday we will return. MB Ireland

9.0

The Floridiana has an excellent location and is 50 yards from Amalfi's Duomo. It seems to be part of a Palazzo and the interior restoration for the rooms and hallways are wonderfully done. The outside of the building and the breakfast room need additional effort. The breakfast buffet is small but with very fresh pastries. Amalfi is small and the Floridiana is near wonderful restaurants like Da Gemma (excellent!) and Maccus.

9.8

A beautiful gem of a hotel in the middle of Amalfi. We stayed in a family room for 4 of good size and with an amazing shower room. From the moment we arrived we were looked after with care felt immediately welcome. We will return!

9.9

The owner could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Our room was absolutely stunning with a mezzanine floor for our daughter and a jacuzzi. Huge windows overlooking lovely courtyard with direct view towards the Duomo. The room was tastefully decorated and finished to a very high standard. I wanted to take the bathroom home with me! Breakfast in the beautiful dining room was a real treat. I only wish we'd booked for longer. We would love to go back. Only caveat is that access to the hotel could be tricky for those with limited mobility - with a climb up several sets of steps. But the hotel staff are eager to help in any way they can.

8.8

Lovely rooms and breakfast area, very welcoming and professional staff. Extremely clean and friendly. Good advice on restaurants and trips destinations with informations on best driving routes and bus timetables. Definitely worth staying in Hotel Floridiana for a romantic holiday on the Amalfi coast.

9.9

Once we found the Hotel Floridiana, everything was great! It was a little hard to spot coming into Amalfi. The rooms were first class, the breakfast room was magnificient and the owner and her staff were overly helpful. We would definitely stay there again, and would highly recommend it to friends.

9.9

Excellent Hotel, Great location, very friendly, clean and spacious. Will be staying there again!!!

9.8

Wonderful, wonderful experience! The staff are very freindly and helpful. The owner, Agnes, is so informative, friendly, makes you feel like her personal guest. Always available for recommendations, directions, etc. The location is in the heart of town. The only concern would be the steps to get to the hotel. The staff are very willing to help with luggage, but someone would have to walk up to let them know you were there.

10

Located amidst the stairs and walkways that are the "streets" of Amalfi is this small (10-15 rooms) gem. The Floridiana is an old structure recently converted into a hotel. The tile work, woodwork and cabinetry of the renovation are marvelous, all done under the watchful eye of Agnese, the proprietress. More marvelous was the hospitality of the staff - Agnese, Maria-Rosa et. al. Gracious, warm, knowledgeable, friendly, skilled, helpful - only scratch the surface. Maybe the round of hugs at our departure is more descriptive.

9.0

Kleines ruhiges Hotel im Zentrum von Amalfi. Aüßerst zuvorkommendes Personal, besonders die Chefin ist sehr freundlich und kompetent. Zimmer sind schlicht und klein, aber sauber und gepflegt, ideal für einen kurzen Aufenthalt.

9.7

This Hotel is great - lovely clean rooms, friendly welcoming staff and above all mosquito mesh on all windows (which you do need in some parts of southern italy). The location is fabulous too - within minutes of the Main Square with lots of choice for places to eat and drink. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel.

9.6

Very friendly and helpful staff. Room was very nice.

9.9

Excellent hotel in the center of town, owner Agnese makes you feel at home from the moment you arrive. She speaks to each and everyone of her guest at breakfast every morning, which is served in a beautiful room. All the staff is very helpful and attentive.

9.3

The stay in the hotel was one of the highlights of our tour. The staff were most welcoming, the room – complete with upstairs area and balcony – was superb and the location – close to the centre but quiet and secluded – was perfect. The hotel is in an old ducal palace and the bed rooms were all renovated in 2004. This has been done in a modern style but very tastefully. Fortunately the 17th century dining room has been kept as it was, complete with frescoed ceiling. The breakfast (fruit, croissant, rolls, with a selection of spreads, cake, juice, coffee or tea of choice) was also excellent, and each morning Agnes, the owner, came by and chatted to us to make sure everything was OK. They also have quite a lot of information available in a bookcase in the dining room. We were able to borrow a couple of walking maps which we used to hike to Ravello and back, and walk up the Valley of the Mills. This may be a 3* hotel but it felt more like a 4*. If we return to Amalfi, we’ll certainly come back here. See www.hotelfloridiana.it

8.9

This is a gem---hidden away behind the main street but reasonably quiet. Close to all amenities and a choice of excellent restaurants. We felt that breakfast could be a bit more varied i.e. choice of cheeses meat and cereals but no complaints really. The staff spoke excellent English and could not be more helpful. A very relaxing place to stay.

9.1

The hotel staff are the best we encountered in the course of a 17 day trip!!! They were willing to flex the room assigned to fit our needs.

10

The staff at the hotel were superb. There is a genuine warmth from everyone. From help finding things to do on rainy days, to providing guide books to Pompeii, there was always a personal touch. We would recommend restaurants called Maccus which is along the back streets behind the hotel, Perla Pizzeria which is along the backstreets on the other side of the road, and most definitely Marina Grande on the sea front. I would advise everyone to stay away from the restaurant Barraccus, it was awful. For a personal touch and real quality of service, Hotel Floridiana should be your choice.

10

Being at the Floridiana was like staying with good friends. Staff and management treated you like family. Our room was huge and very clean. The breakfast room was very nice,you had breakfast in a palace setting every morning, what a way to start your day! I would not hesitate to return, and would highly recommend this hotel. As a matter of fact that's why we stayed there in the first place, because of the rating others had given. Vancouver, B.C. Canada September 2007

9.7

Agnese is a miracle maker and Maria Rosa is her loyal helping hand. Together they’ve created a stylish haven few meters away from the pulsating old Amlfi main street. If you’re ready to climb the stairway called Salida Brancia you’ll fined the coolest place operated by the warmest people.

8.3

Hotel is nice, it's got a lovely breakfast room with original fresco ceiling. Rooms very clean and quite spacious. However, the major 'wow' factor is the friendliness and knowledge of the owner and her staff. They go out of their way to help, whether offering advice on local transport or organising complete day trips. It was a pleasure to stay at a quality hotel where the staff care, rather than the usual modern chain 'Mchotels'.

9.9

The staff was great and made us feel right at home. Best service we had our whole trip.

8.9

A very good hotel in the middle of Amalfi, with personal attention of the staff.

10

we recently said at the floridiana for 5 nights and i must say we had a wonderful time. the staff is wonderful and very helpful, the rooms are extremly clean and the location was perfect. you are very close to the beaches, marina and bus depot and shops. the restaurant nearby are excellent. i would highly recommend this hotel. We had a room for three adults. The room and bathroom were very spacious and nicely decorated. Breakfeast is served ever day in a beautiful dinning room. The hotel made arrangements for a taxi to picked us up from the airport. I can't say enough about the staff. They were extremely friendly, spoke excellent English and gave great advise where to eat and what to do. I would definitely stay here again. They are also adding on to the hotel with two rooms that will be suites. It was so convenient staying here and getting around doing things. Thank you to Agnes, Rosa Maria and rest of the staff and Dino for your wonderful hospitality. It was a pleasure meeting you all and I look forward to seeing you again.

10

I like to say that Agnese is a real lady. She was very helpfull with everything. We had a great time. Agnese grazie di cuore. Arrivederci Carmelo & Cathy

9.9

Floridiana exceeded our expectations. The staff were delightful and so helpful. They even called us in America to notify of a road closure due to fire. The room was spacious and welcoming. The location was perfect- so central. I would recommend it to everyone and return again. The only noise was the church bells at 7:00 am but we were up anyway. However, if you want to sleep in then in could be a problem. We liked our alarm clock.

9.4

Agnese and her team made this a great stay. From the very precise directions to find Floridiana, through to daily friendly service, a real pleasure.

10

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! It was our first time at Amalfi and our stay at Floridiana was wonderful. The hotel is situated only metres away from the Duomo, shops and resturants. We stayed in room number 7 which has a little balcony up the top of the room where we enjoyed a drink in the afternoon. The breakfast was lovely and the breakfast room amazing! Agnese and her staff were extremely helpful, professional, courteous and friendly. We can't thank Agnese enough for her hospitality during our stay at Floridiana. If you ever visit the Amalfi Coast, our choice of location is Amalfi and our choice of hotel is Floridiana.

10

My Girlfriend and I stayed at the Floridiana in Amalfi for 5 nights at the end of June 07. The astonishing beauty of the Amalfi coast was only enhanced by the wonderful and helpful staff at the Floridiana Hotel. The hotel is a modest and friendly little place tucked in amoungst the beautiful streets of Amalfi town, a stones throw from all the bars and restaurants that you could possibly want and a 2 minute walk from the stunning harbor. Our room was very traditional and immaculately clean - really charming, and we would not hesitate to stay here again on a return trip to Amalfi - we hope it will be soon!

9.9

I wished that there would be wireless internet in every hotel I go to but there is an internet cafe only few steps away from the hotel. The owner also let us use her computer for very important stuff we needed to do online. We have never meet so helpful staff in any hotel I have been to. The hotel is located only about 50 meters from the main square but hidden away and very quitet.

9.4

This is a beautiful little hotel with staff who make you feel 100% welcome for your entire stay. The breakfast room in particular is fab. Well worth a visit!

10

This hotel was absolutely fantastic and Agnese went out of her way to assist us from the moment we booked it by emailing directions and offering us assistance. During our stay, the staff excelled at meeting our needs and being friendly, courteous and polite. The room was fantastic and the dining room is quite amazing to see. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough and would not hestitate to stay there again.

9.6

A little jewel, right off the piazza. Staff was very helpful and accommodating, as nice a group as you will ever find. In a courtyard shared by private residences, a nice mini-neighborhood atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Hike up the stairs may not be for those without good legs under them.

10

With two friends I stayed at Hotel Floridiana for 4 nights in June, 2007. Agnese, in particular, and her staff were absolutely wonderful from the first moment. We overshot the hotel and found ourselves at the wrong end of the very crowded 'pedestrian only' street. No trouble - the sent someone to drive our car back, carried our luggage to our rooms, took our car to the garage and sat us down with a nice cool drink. They sent emails, made phone calls - nothing was too much trouble - and all to do with our next hotel in Rome and our leased French car!! When she saw we were going to the beach she offered beach towels! I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. The location is great (as long as you don't want a view) - it's like an oasis in the middle of a teeming mass of tourists, close to the boat & bus terminals for all sightseeing needs as well as surrounded by shops & restaurants. A very old historical building with a beautiful dining room serving a lovely, very adequate breakfast. The bedrooms are large & tastefully furnished with very modern clean bathrooms. I had stayed in Amalfi twice before, but this hotel is definitely THE ONE!

9.9

This was a wonderful little hotel, tucked away behind the main drag in Amalfi. This made it lovely and quiet while being less than a minute away from the shops and the cathedral. The management was very friendly and helpful, and the dining room was absolutely gorgeous. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend to friends.

9.4

An excellent hotel, with very modern rooms including AC. An excellent continental breakfast was served each morning of our stay. Charming dining room from days gone bye. A place to park your car that is secure. The hotel is situated in the center of Amalfi, excellent location. The owner and staff were very helpful in directing us to sites and places to visit. Good restaurants close by. A ferry service direct to Capri, worth the visit. The drive along the Amalfi coast is challenging and exciting, loved every km and minute of the drive to Sorento/Positano. The Floridiana Hotel is a small first class facility in Amalfi. Highly recommended.

9.6

The hotel was perfectly situated in the small town of Amalfi, and tucked away, amidst the busy main street. The salon area, where breakfast is served, is a beautiful, vaulted ceiling room, furnished with beautiful ceramics and artwork. The breakfasts offered a greater variety of foods than most of our other hotel stays. Agnes, our host, was most helpful with any of our needs and travel questions. We heartily recommend the Floridiana to those travelers who want to stay in historical accomodations. Great location, great hospitality, and great price, which includes parking, a huge bonus!!

9.6

The hotel is located in the center of town. Although our room was not on the main street, it was a bit noisy at night. The most annoying noises were coming from the construction done in the same building, starting around 7:30 in the morning. As we were there to visit, this did not bother us very much. Overall, an exceptional place, very well situated with a more than helpful lady fluent in many languages.

9.9

This was a great small hotel which was a fantastic value for its location and quality of service. It is a short walk to the beachfront, but is set back in the town and away from noisy crowds. There were some loud church bells on Sunday morning, but nothing more than in the usual Italian town. The free parking was easy and efficient. The owner greeted us personally at breakfast, inquired about our stay and seemed genuinely interested in our comments. She also spoke excellent English. The rooms were very large by Italian standards and very clean. I was also impressed by the fact that (yes, this is small thing, but it made a very positive impression on me) the minibar prices were actually just a fraction higher than what you'd pay in a store. It was very nice to have the option of taking a bottle of water out of the minibar and NOT paying a 300% markup like you do at many hotels.

10

This place was absolutely wonderful. Very big, bright, spotless rooms, right in the heart of Amalfi, and with free parking! The staff were amazing and went out of their way to help us, even preparing our breakfast early for us when we had to leave early for our flight. This was a wonderful end to our honeymoon and I would highly recommend it.

9.7

Our best hotel expeience on the Amalfi coast by far. Excellent location in the lower part of the town of Amalfi - right next to the magnificent duomo and main square. Apparently at one time was actually connected with the church (biship's residence?). Accordingly, no "panoramic views" of the coastline if this is important (we were happy with the trade off). Some steps to get to the hotel entrance. Easy acess to buses and docks for further activities along the coast beyond the town itself. Rooms were large, tastefully well appointed and impeccable. Hotel staff was superb - friendly, competent and helpful. They went way out of their way to help us on some trip logistics which had nothing to do with our stay with them per se and we remain very grateful. Don't know the star rating system criteria, but this for us was more a (good) four star boutique hotel rather than the actual three star rating. Limited number of rooms, although apparently the hotel is expanding within the existing building structure. In the context of a trip with some real hotel disappointments, La Floridiana was a very positive experience all around and a good value to boot.

7.2

Excellent accomodation well located at a good price. Staff very helpful.

10

You don't get many opportunities to stay in a 900 year old building yet enjoy modern amenities, so take advantage of this one! Great central location, amazing breakfast room and really friendly service.

9.0

We were made to feel extremely welcome by the Floridiana team, all of whom were willing to answer questions and give us useful tips such as where to eat or how to get to places we wanted to visit. The hotel itself was immaculate although we were occasionally aware of other guests - a baby crying. However, this wouldn't stop us recommending this hotel to others or staying there again ourselves. It also has a free garage which is essential in Amalfi where parking spaces are at a premium. We would advise others to contact the Floridiana directly (phone/e-mail) for directions as to its location as it is up a narrow alley off the main street in Amalfi.

10

Centrally located in Amalfi, just a few steps to Duomo! All the good points of a family-run hotel: friendly atomosphere and staff. I gladly recommend this hotel to any friends of mine. The restaurants they recommend was really good.

9.7

Top quality hotel in a fantastic location. After three excellent but tiring days in rome it was a welcome treat to arrive in such a wonderfully relaxed area as Amalfi and this excellent hotel enhanced an already fantastic stay. Would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone looking to stay in Amalfi.

9.8

What a wonderful hotel! The rooms were very nicely done and modern, and the staff was wonderful. They held breakfast for us as we were late after hiking to Ravello (we just planned to skip eating but they went way out of their way and had a table and food waiting). They were probably the best hosts I've had in Italy (3 years in residence and a decade traveling there). The only tricky part was getting the car into the garage as the town square was closed when we arrived and we had to wait about 15 minutes. After that the street is one way - alternating directions so it is essential that you wait at the light near the stairs for the hotel until it is "your turn". The breakfast room is fabulous - great ceiling! A very reasonable price and awesome location in the heart of Amalfi. Having parking is a must in Amalfi during the summer so the included garage was essential.

8.6

The staff at Hotel Floridiana was very helpful and friendly. The air conditioning was better than any we had on our trip, which was nice given the July temperatures. The outside walls were a couple of feet thick stone, which made for a very quiet room. Very spacious.

10

You will never choose a better hotel than this if you like small hotels. 50m from central square 100m from the beach Impeccably clean, Truly multi-lingual with the freindliest staff I have ever met! The rooms are exquisite and the dining room is spectacular. You will definately not regret choosing this hotel. Apart from that Amalfi is pretty impressive also!

9.7

Would not hesitate to recommend Hotel Floridiana after our stay in Jun06. Agnese & her colleagues were so friendly and helpful. The hotel is really well located just a stones throw from Amalfi's main square and minutes from the beach/harbour. Really enjoyed breakfast in the stunning dining room. No lounge or bar facilities which was fine by us as lots of restaurants/cafes nearby. Recommend the mini-cruise from the harbour - a day along the Amalfi coast with 4 hrs on Capri. Local bus rides south very hairy, we preferred travelling by boat. Loved Positano. If you're into gardens Villa Cimbrone at Ravello is lovely. Also enjoyed more spacious beaches just north of Amalfi reached easily by bus to Salerno in 10 - 15 mins.

9.1

The hotel manager, Agnese, was extremely pleasant and helpful, as were all the other staff. They sent an e-mail explaining the need for a car permit in the town centre. The hotel is very central but not easy to get to, like so many places in Amalfi, as it is up steps through a narrow passageway. The garage is some distance away, up the main street where traffic is one-way controlled by lights. The interior of the hotel is glorious, with a superb painted ceiling in the breakfast room.

10

Built in 1100, renovated in 2004. Everything is brand new and very, very clean. Huge rooms, comfortable beds.... picture perfect!!!! LOVE it!!! We WILL stay there again!!!!

9.9

We can highly recommend this place ! If you are looking for quiet, clean and spacious hotel in the heart of Amalfi, you will be highly satisfied. Travelling now to Italy for more than 30 years, we have to point out, that rarely you will find such a warmhearted, kind, interested and sympathetic attitude in the centre of a region with a comparable touristic importance.

8.8

It was a pleasure to stay in this hotel. Verry lovely atmosphere. If we intend to do a trip similar we would stay in the same hotel again.

9.9

I loved it! Our room was a little noisy as it overlooked the main busy street, but it was ok

9.9

they said there was internet available at the hotel but there was not; other than that, everything was perfect.

9.6

Amalfi was only made more wonderful by our stay at the La Floridiana. Travelling with our son, "Arturo" (17 months) was like arriving with royalty. A very family friendly place and close to the piazza. Our favorite stay in Italia and the price was nice, as was the weather. Bella vita

10

We recently returned from a fantastic visit to the Floridiana Hotel! Thank you to the manageress for making our stay so splendid! She was extremely helpful in orienting us to the area and its many attractions and making us feel welcome and at home at the hotel. The manageress took the time to answer all our questions about the area, the hotel building (an amazing historical beauty), where to eat, what to see, etc. We are a family of four and were extremely pleased with the accommodation arrangements. The rooms were immaculate - very clean and recently renovated. The dining room is positively splendid with ancient frescos on the ceiling and walls. The hotel is in a prime location, neatly tucked away to feel private, yet only a few steps away from the main square of Amalfi - we couldn't have asked for more! All in all, I cannot speak highly enough about the hotel and its management. We will definitely be returning to stay at the Floridiana Hotel!

The Floridiana B&B is a gem of a place, tucked away in a palazzo in Amalfi. The room was lovely, service friendly, breakfast excellent, and the owner truly charming. This is a place where you can relax, enjoy Amalfi and the lovely surrounding coast, and feel at home. We hope to return there in the not too distant future.

A very pleasant surprise in the heart of Amalfi. Beautifull room spacious. Nr 7 has a nice terrace outside so you can enjoy the night. Quality is very good and helpfullness of staff wonderfull. In short we really enjoyed our stay over there and can recomand it to any one. What should be better is the map of Amalfi. Its locatedjust next to the kathedral and it looks as though its on a street but its no street at all.

We stayed at the Floridiana for four days and I cannot recommed this hotel highly enough. It is incredibly central, tucked down a side lane just off the main square. Our bedroom was large and spotless with a perfect bathroom. Everything had been thought of, from ample towels to a little bowl of sweets by the bed. The public areas are stunning especially the breakfast room, the painted ceiling has to be seen to be believed. But it is the employees that so impressed me about this hotel. The Manageress is lovely. She helped us with everything we asked from advice on changing money to booking our transfer back to the airport. We were in Amalfi for a family wedding and she told us about the church, admired our outfits and watched indulgently as we stole a flower from her garden for Jamie's buttonhole! A special mention for the night manager too who showed concern as I told him how travel sick I felt after a night journey from the airport. Please book this hotel, it is an absolute delight. p.s And you don't even need an alarm clock as the cathedral bells start at 7am every morning!

This hotel was absolutely magnificent - the best place we stayed in 5 weeks in Italy. The rooms were large, spacious and modern, air conditioning that works, a bathroom that was bigger than some hotel rooms, quiet, great location just behind the duomo in Amalfi (but no noise from the bells), generous breakfast with fresh croissants every day (they had run out one day and the owner popped out to buy more for us), juice, coffee, meat, cheese, bread and best of all, Kelloggs cornflakes, the only decent cornflakes I ate in Italy. The staff could not have been more helpful or friendly, and all the staff were like this, it wasn't just a one off. This hotel was consistently fantastic over a 6 day stay - I would definitely stay there again on my next trip to Amalfi and won't hesitate to tell everyone I know to stay there if they're in Amalfi.

A great place - spacious rooms, spotlessly clean, lovely breakfast room and free parking. But most importantly the friendliest staff we met on the Amafli coast - the women at the front desk couldn't have been more helpful. Highly recommended.

A wonderful find. A small hotel in an old building tucked away in the side streets of Amalfi but with large modern rooms & bathrooms. The small rota of staff including the owner were very welcoming and helpful.The only slight drawback was no outdoor public space or balcony but the hotel was extremely close to the main street and beach.

Not only was this Hotel spotless and very beautiful the service was out of this world.If your traveling to the Amalfi coast this location is very central.It was right in the middle of Amalfi but also nice and quiet due to it being set back from the road.The hotel manager went beyond the call of duty on several occassions.She was very helpful in recommending some great locations for us to visit and all the staff very friendly.It was essential to have parking and this hotel had a private garage.Anybody visiting Amalfi should look no further than this Hotel and we will be using it again.
