Hotel La Lucertola

We stayed this weekend for our anniversary; the room was very beautiful with a breathtaking view overlooking the sea, facing the Amalfi Coast and the Two Brothers, a landmark of Vietri. The breakfast was delicious with a wide choice of sweet and savory options; the best part was having breakfast with a fantastic view.

Dated hotel managed like a boarding house, paid access to the sea, poorly soundproofed room, but above all a party with very loud music and a vocalist upstairs until morning. Breakfast not suitable for a 4-star hotel. High price compared to the type of property and services offered.

This is a lovely hotel on the Amalfi coast. The staff were friendly and made us feel welcome. It does seem to be a hotel aimed at couples rather than families. Our room wasn’t particularly modern but it was clean and had a balcony with a great view. They do advertise that they have a ‘private beach’. Innocently I thought this was included in the room price. It is actually an additional 15 euros EACH per day (20 euros at weekend). Although this is cheap compared to other beach areas it’s rather a lot when you haven’t budgeted for it! There is a public/free beach area down by the ferry terminal. It’s a bit of a squash but perfectly fine for kids. Restaurants are about a 15 minute walk into town, uphill. Buses don’t seem to run in the evenings - so if you have mobility/health concerns you need to take this into consideration.
