Hotel Sole Splendid

Amazing gem. Maiori was perfect for my wife and I and Sole Splendid went out of their way to make us welcome. Kayaking around the coast to the caves and beaches was amazing.

We had a wonderful time at Sole Splendid. It was the perfect place to stay with our 22 month old son; the staff were incredibly kind, helpful and accommodating of our various requests throughout our stay. The ocean view from our room was incredible and the breakfast buffet had a lot of variety and kept us full until dinner each day. We would not stay anywhere else in Maiori.

Wow, what a beautiful hotel. I was a little skeptical when I first booked this hotel because it’s new. Communication started few days before we arrived and continued until checkout. Breakfast was on time and delicious every morning. Staff were super nice and helpful, they even picked us up from the bust stop straight to our room. Perfect view and location. Loved every minute of our stay. I would book this hotel again in the near future. Keep up the good work.

Five of my girlfriends and I took a trip to Italy for our 40th birthday. We looked at a bunch of hotels and decided to stay at Hotel Sole Splendid, and we are so glad we did. The staff (special shout out to Margherita) was nothing short of amazing!) Sadly, we went when there was unexpected rain, but they did all they could to help us figure out if the ferry was running, and alternatives should they not be running. Should we return to the Amalfi coast, we would without a doubt stay at this hotel again!

We were greeted by the most gracious and helpful staff - Andreina, Federica, and Margherita - who made our whole stay perfect! We stayed in a family room that was much bigger than we could have hoped for, with a reading nook and an incredible ocean view. The room was immaculate. There was a separate room for the shower...perfect for families trying to share a washroom. The shower has good water pressure, and 6 spray jets in the wall, along with a hand shower and a rain shower head. The towels were large and soft. The beds are very comfortable. The buffet breakfast was more than adequate, with a wide selection of both traditional and American style choices. If we are ever so lucky to return to Maiori, we will definitely stay here again. HIGHLY recommended!!

Although the hotel is not quite modernized it offers a quaint personal touch . The front desk reception staff is cordial and go above and beyond d to make your trip a bit more comfortable . I would highly recommend a stay here and would come back the next time we come through town .

It’s the location and employees that brings it from a 3 star to a 4 star hotel. The hotel itself is dated as you can see by the scuffed up woodwork, old carpets in the halls and just a lack of upkeep. Our room was a “renovated room” which was sufficient but nothing spectacular except the balcony overlooking the beach. On a rainy day we got kicked off the beach because it is privately owned, but you can pay $35/day for a chair and the rights to use the area or you can go left and just put your towel on the sand for free. Location was great within walking distance to restaurants, although a long walk to the ferry (especially with luggage in tow).

The hotel faces the façade directly down to the beach and the beautiful sea view. It is top notch, but on the other 3 sides, the building is surrounded by a very busy road with a very burdensome noise level. Our room was quite small with one dining chair and a small desk and a very large old closet. The bathroom was large and perfectly in order. The air conditioning was quite noisy and could not be adjusted, only turned on and off. A nice big balcony with 2 chairs and an old table. Breakfast is served in a large basement with high windows and is OK by Italian standards. The hotel has no shared lounges or other shared facilities, even outdoors. There is only the reception. The huge roof terrace is completely empty and deserted and not used. The hotel stubbornly demanded that the tourist tax of 4 Euro per person per day, in our case 56 Euro should be settled in cash. That is completely unacceptable! How can it be the guests' problem that the hotel is not able to make internal reclassifications in their cash accounts?

Hotel Sole Splendid is a lovely hotel and we would definitely recommend it. Please ignore the negative reviews. The room we had was clean and comfortable, with fully working air conditioning. The hotel staff are friendly, helpful and very informative about ways to get around and the main sights to see in the various towns etc. Nice large variety of options available at breakfast too - no issues. If you’re after a luxurious holiday, then i dont think you will find that on the Amalfi Coast - its not that kind of area. Maiori is a lovely town with a long beach, with lots of beach clubs/lounge bars where you can grab a drink/snack and enjoy the views. The hotel is at the end of the *****. There are plenty of restaurants all along the main road, and there are also some lovely restaurants off the side roads too. Food is amazing, but expect to pay premium. The best way to explore the coast is via ferry or bus. The port is 15 min walk from the hotel. Buses wont be on time on the weekends as its very busy. All in all, if you’re after a break with towns to explore, and also a beach, then Maiori is a good base and this hotel is excellent.
