Our stay was absolutely perfect. Our room was very comfortable. Walking to Cetera and back to the hotel requires walking alongside the busy road, just so you know ahead of time that there is no pathway. However, the hotel, amenities, and beach I would recommend to anyone!

This hotel was 10/10, very well maintained, spacious room for three, but the best part was how helpful Elena and Carmela at the front desk were. Elena coordinated transfers before our arrival, during our stay and the day of our departure. She coordinated the most amazing cooking class in Amalfi, again 10/10. Of note, Cetera is a fishing village so most pasta dishes are prepared with fish. You need to take the ferry to other surrounding areas, Amalfi, Capri etc. meals at the hotel were amazing!! Again, the staff made our experience memorable! Views are beautiful!!

Wow - What a beautiful hotel, bar and dining experience! The town of Cetus is one of the quietest towns along the Amalfi coast and was a perfect jumping of spot for exploring the other towns (accessed by a short walk into town and hopping a ferry, or grabbing a bus (although the SITA buses were horribly unreliable while we were there)), and coming back to have cocktails or dinner above the ocean. The beach is accessible by elevator, and was gorgeous. There are so many good things to say about this place that I could not do it justice in this review.
