Villa Poseidon - Boutique Hotel & Events

fantastic holiday with my family. we had a reunion from Switzerland and I must say that it is an enchanting place with one of the most beautiful views ever seen before. in the morning we went to the centre of Salerno on foot in two minutes, in the afternoon we were in the pool until sunset with an aperitif in the garden. it is a magical place that we will carry in our hearts because we discovered the true flavour of southern Italy. Thanks to all the staff Alessandra e Federico

Very nice B&B with a great view on the harbor and a nice big pool. Careful this location has no restaurant and the a nice but simple breakfast on the terrasse which unfortunately is regularity invaded by wasp and hornets making most people move inside for breakfast. Indeed take a room with view far away from smoking rooms as the others are noisy, too warm and you wouldn’t want to get the smoke in your room when windows are open. Friendly room service leaving all doors from all rooms open for airing during cleaning - so do not leave any personal things as there is no real control on who goes in or out during that time. Wifi connection is not working well anywhere except for the veranda on ground floor and goes on and off regularity. Parking needs to be paid, careful spaces are very narrow and on hill, so doors of neighboring cars can easily damage yours. Even though video surveillance on parking - no use in case of issues. Pool is being shared with non guest people from surrounding against payment, so not really quiet place as some family reunions or even hotel staff gathering with prosecco and loud non stop talking disturbs clearly any possible relaxation at the pool. Even though signs are put up asking not to move the long chairs, they are being passionate for sun-targeting in a way, that you can hardly access pool needing to walk through a labyrinth of chairs, towels, sandals and other before arriving at the stairs to the pool which are transformed by locals into a seating group gathering area - so need to ask several times to being able to access the pool - very uncomfortable. A part from those unfortunate Hotel is clean and location great - careful distance to down-town fast and short, but lots of stairs and a half broken escalator on way up - so recommend using free shuttle service, as walking up so many stairs in summer in the sun is quite a torture. In regards to all these elements, the location is clearly a great place that needs only a few adjustments, but until then it is too expensive for what it is compared to others near by on the hill also enjoying of a hotel but with restaurant and other facilities I trust necessary adjustments will be done as owners seem active and very responsive

Horrible experience. We booked for 4 nights a room with garden view. See my picture, that was our view, the parking lot! We chose this hotel because it has a swimming pool. But… sorry it is empty : under renovation. The manager did hardly speak English and did not understand our frustration. No compensation offered. Our stay was totally prepaid. Finally he proposed to cancel ‘without extra cost’ You can leave now and find another hotel. And that is what we did. June, 4 nights in high season… A challenge. But we ended up in the Grand Hotel, balcony and sea view, totally happy !! We really felt cheated and we were frustrated on the managers behaviour, who first ducked and hide. He let his assistent (who had her job just since 10 days) to handle it. He is a a real cheater and liar.. Avoid this place !!!

Absolutely lovely boutique hotel with heavenly views and a welcoming, family atmosphere ..like staying in a wealthy relative’s seaside Villa! And Salerno is an undiscovered gem of a city …Italy the way it was and should forever be!

This place has many pros and a few cons. The building used to be a family villa and still has that flavor, with many lounges and family pictures. These lounges are picturesque and cozy. The premises are mostly used for weddings and events, on their large terrace, solarium and pool, which in Winter looked dark green. Our room looked pretty, with a king size bed and a large bathroom almost the same size as the room, with a jacuzzi. We have only two complaints, but big ones. The mattress was very hard and the window had no curtains or blinds. I had to sleep with a night mask I usually use only in airplanes, because I find it uncomfortable.

Great hotel for the price with just a short walk to the ferries to Capri, Positano, and Amalfi. Breakfast was a nice convenience. The rooms are a bit dated but they have beautiful views. Just try to catch the escalator when you return...there are a lot of stairs.
