Hotel Santa Lucia

nice hotel and prefect restaurant in hotel

The hotel was in a fabulous location 2 minutes walk from the beach - the room was spotless and the staff were friendly and very helpful- this is our 5th time to Amalfi coast and we used to stay in Positano but I feel it’s become so overcrowded and extremely expensive- I would recommend staying in Minori and visiting the busier towns and beaches for one day after all the boat ride is very cheap and takes only 20 minutes

Review of Hotel Santa Lucia, Amalfi Our stay at Hotel Santa Lucia in Amalfi had both highlights and disappointments. While the hotel had many great qualities, one unfortunate experience left us feeling uneasy. The Good 1. Fantastic Location – The hotel is close to the sea and port, making it a convenient base for exploring Amalfi. It’s also near the bus stop, which made traveling around the area very easy. 2. Friendly and Helpful Staff – Most of the staff were welcoming and accommodating, always ready to assist with any questions. 3. Delicious Food – The food was lovely, with good portion sizes and a nice selection of dishes to choose from. We enjoyed every meal we had at the hotel. 4. Clean and Spacious Rooms – The hotel was very clean, and our room was spacious and well-maintained. It was comfortable and nicely decorated. 5. Smooth Check-in – The check-in process was quick and hassle-free, which was a great start to our stay. The Not-So-Good 1. Room Location & Accessibility Issues – Our room was on the other side of the hotel, requiring us to step out onto the veranda and cross over to reach it. This became problematic when it rained, as there was no roof covering the walkway between the main hotel and our room. 2. Concerns About Security – Unfortunately, we had a troubling experience regarding our luggage and personal belongings: We never locked our luggage, as we trusted that nothing would go missing. However, upon opening one of our suitcases, we found that the interior straps were wet—something we found very odd, as the luggage was far from any water sources, and neither of us had touched it with wet hands. We had locked the safe using the key given to us, but when we returned to our room, we discovered that the safe was unlocked. To add to our concerns, I was looking for my Ralph Lauren ballet pumps to wear for the evening and eventually found one hidden under a chair with a skirt around its legs. My husband had neatly arranged all our shoes under the table near the door, so it was puzzling that only this particular pair had been moved. Fortunately, we don’t carry money or valuables, so nothing was stolen, but the fact that someone had gone through our belongings was unsettling. While the majority of the staff were lovely, this experience left us disappointed and uncomfortable. Final Thoughts While the hotel had many positives—a great location, friendly staff, good food, and cleanliness—the security concerns overshadowed our experience. It’s disappointing to feel uneasy about personal belongings when staying in a hotel. Because of this, sadly, we wouldn’t return.

We stayed at the Hotel Santa Lucia in Sept 2024. It's a beautiful boutique hotel. We loved everything about it, the chandeliers in the lobby, the roof top terrace, the bar & lounge, the gardens, the outdoor seating, and the restaurant. Breakfast is included with the cost of your room. They had a wide variety available each morning. We enjoyed eating our breakfast in the sunroom that is part of the restaurant. They had fresh fruit, fresh honey, cappuccinos, yogurts, pastries, delicious croissants, eggs, and much more. Our room was cozy & clean. I loved the sliding/tilt door that led to the balcony. We don't see windows/doors like that very often in America. All of the staff were friendly & helpful. Minori was clean and we felt very safe there. The hotel is a 2-min walk from the beach, restaurants & shops. Make sure you venture through all of the side streets. We didn't realize how many different shops & restaurants there were. The Amalfi Coast is beautiful, make sure you see it from the water! We rented a boat and took ourselves on a tour, it was beautiful! We will definitely stay at the Santa Lucia again! The hotel offers valet parking for a fee, which we took advantage of. We wouldn't realize how important it is to use secured parking until a few days later when we were in PISA. A window in our rental car was smashed, & we were robbed of ALL of our belongings. We were there for 2 hours. So, beware - Use underground or secured parking!!

The location of this hotel is great, a couple of minutes from the town square and the beach. Public transit is right outside the door so for 1 euro 50 you can hop on and go along the Amalfi coast. The rooms are very comfortable with a nice balcony over the street. The have a nice sitting area at the side and the front of the hotel. Staff are pleasantly friendly and will take care of most of your questions. The restaurant was amazing. We had dinner included in our stay and I must say the quality and presentation was outstanding. I would most certainly stay here again.

Adorable hotel. Beautifully decorated. It's pretty crazy getting around on the Amalfi coast, but the staff were so patient and helpful, they made everything a breeze. The room was exquisite. The bathroom was roomy-- which is unlike most European hotels. The towels, the linens, the pillows were fantastic! We could walk everywhere. You're literally a block from the water. Make sure you rent a small car. The breakfast was excellent!!!
