Villa Santa Maria - Luxury Country House Suites

We passed a very good time at the villa. The staff and particularly Francesca were very kind and helpfull. Private acces to the sea, private beach, sauna and spa. Awesome ! Loved it ! Restaurants in Amalfi coast can lift you if tou don’t have a car. Just ask to the villa.

This Villa is heaven. We spent two nights here as our base for visiting Amalfi town and Ravello, and we consider it our secret spot that we hope to one day return. We visited in August during high tourist season, and this place was just so private, quiet, and really felt like we had it to ourselves. Francesca, Gerardo, and the chef helped our every need. It was perfect. One of the nights we chose to walk to Amalfi for the evening, 30 min walk with amazing views. The cliff views, the amazing breakfast, the gorgeous room. So romantic!

Stay here. The hotel is small, just a few rooms, a home-like scale and setting. Unlike central Amalfi or Positano, this property, down the hill from the main coast road, is in a quiet, semi-rural location. 115 steps down from the street and another 360 steps up from a private "beach" platform with access to the Tyrrhenian Sea, the hotel is on the side of a mountain. Do not come here if you have any trouble with steps!! The setting is magical: placid Mediterranean views over lemon groves, amid quiet bougainvillea-scented terraces. The hotel itself is modest, with a small lobby and lovely but simple, modern rooms. A hot tub and sauna are also available. The staff is magnificent: by day, Franca runs the place. She is serene and informed, and has given us wonderful suggestions for how to spend our time here. She is resourceful too, always ready to help with a reservation, transportation, or logistics. Breakfasts are light and delicious: fresh fruit and pastries, eggs and yogurt, coffee, tea, and more. Lunch and dinner are also available from the modest professional kitchen. We enjoyed a late spaghetti alio e oglio with lemon one evening. We are so glad we chose the Villa Santa Maria over the more expensive, less serene options. This is a great place from which you can enjoy the Amalfi Cosst.

This is such an incredibly lovely place. The room was clean and spacious with a nice sized bathroom. The breakfast was perfect. I cannot even begin to describe the amazing view. It was absolutely stunning, even on the 1 day of rain. They have wonderful water access. Even with all of these incredible things, the best thing there is Francesca. She is the sweetest person and goes above and beyond to make everyone feel special and as if you are the only one there. She is amazing and such a gem.

Me and my wife were there for a few days and completely loved it. Location is perfect, the view is phenomenal but the very best is Francesca who made great dinner reservations and was of so much help in making the stay unforgettable, the hotel is very lucky to have her. Hope to come back to this dream villa.

I can’t even begin to tell you how wonderful our hotel stay was. I wish I could give it six stars instead of five. The pictures below are from our private area. We had to walk down a lemon grove to get to our completely private bungalow. Every morning they would bring us breakfast fit for a King on our own little terrace. We even joked that if we sold our house, how long could we stay here! Francesca was beyond wonderful and helpful. She gave us great recommendations and booked several trips for us. She did everything she could to make our stay perfect. My husband and I are in our 60s, and we didn’t have any trouble with all of the stairs. There are 160 steps to get down to the hotel.
