Savoy Hotel & Spa - Preferred Hotels & Resorts Reviews

Lovely big hotel, but that’s it. Breakdown below. Hotel - Lovely and big - ideal for a wedding - if you’re not there for a wedding, there’s not much to do - Beach club wasn’t open when we went in late April but this wasn’t mentioned on their website - It states it’s a beach hotel but the beach is across the road and it’s not that good a beach, nice sunset that’s pretty much it! - Their specialty restaurant is too expensive - It was my birthday during our stay and they did give me a birthday “cake” during breakfast which was a nice touch! Location - states it’s on the amalfi coast but it is a good 2 hours away from the real amalfi coast - you will need a car to go anywhere - There’s a nice pizza restaurant nearby recommended by one of the receptionist staff.. not much else! Rooms - good size rooms - shower temperature was quite temperamental - hair dryer was one of those small white ones you have to hold the button down to keep turned on - TV was kept in a cupboard which was strange - No tea or coffee making facilities - Not many plugs available - No phone to contact reception Staff - Reception staff were okay. I wouldn’t say overly friendly or helpful - Staff in the breakfast area were nicer but still quite awkward The hotel itself was super quiet so that probably added to the awkwardness. Overall I wouldn’t recommend staying here. Wedding or not.

We traveled south of the Amalfi Coast for the first time to see the ancient ruins in Paestum. The ruins of Poseidonia feature extremely well preserved Greek temples to Poseidon and Hera. Wanting to be close to the ruins, we picked the Savoy Hotel and Spa for its high rating and location. We were elated to arrive at such a special place; the extensive grounds are beautifully maintained, the staff were very friendly and accommodating, the spa services were top-notch, and the breakfast was unmatched for quality and choice. My only complaint is to myself: why didn’t we book for a few days more? It is worth staying here even if not to see the ruins — a great place to unwind from a hectic vacation!

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we were speechless with every aspect of this exceptional hotel. The staff could not have been more helpful and couldn’t do enough for us. The grounds were kept in impeccable order and the hotel itself was by far the best we have stayed in. I would recommend this hotel to anyone and everyone…..just beautiful.

The hotel was absolutely incredible from professionalism of staff to the grounds it was on to the decorative pieces in the common areas - elegance and breath-taking views. We based ourselves here to travel to different places via car - Agropoli, Paestum, Temples, Salerno (boat trip), Amalfi Coast, Sorrento and Pompeii. We woke up every morning, excited for free breakfast which consisted of eggs, bacon, fresh bread, orange juice and lots more options with an incredible view behind. The only thing we wished we did was the Spa but we didn’t have enough time. We went to various restaurants nearby - Pizzeria Villaggio Dei Pini (pizza), Gnhamburger (burgers) and we ate at the Beach Club which was great service. Couldn’t have asked for a better location away from the tourists places, base myself to explore, experience local culture and cuisine and we had the best holiday!! Thank you and hopefully see you in the future.

The hotel itself is magnificent and spotlessly clean … the staff are friendly and helpful and the rooms on the 2nd floor offer a lovely view of the pool and the gardens - however the location is a popular wedding venue. 5 out of the 7 nights we stayed, there was a wedding which meant A. We couldn’t stroll in the gardens on an evening (the 2 nights there was no wedding the gardens were not lit at all which was disappointing) and B. The noise/music till early hours wasn’t good and made it difficult to sleep as it was so loud. Not very relaxing at 2am!!! There is nothing around only 1 other restaurant a 5 min walk away on the beach (there is also the beach club but this closed at 7pm) which left us a little restricted when it came to evening meals. A 10 min and 15 euro taxi however took you to a few other restaurants and the train station in paestrum. The beach itself is beautiful and would recommend a day at the beach club. Found a small supermarket across the road near the beach and a tobacconist an 8 min walk away which was good for snacks and drinks. Although the hotel is lovely we wouldn’t stay again mainly due to the remote location and the noise from the weddings.

A getaway from it all. The SPA is gorgeous and the staff very professional and friendly. Maddalena was exceptional. The SPA is pure beauty, not vast in size but created with taste and luxury. The outdoor pool lovely as well, and a breakfast to remember.

We had a great time but as this is a high turnover wedding venue the fireworks at 12.30 were unwelcome. Having said that the staff, venue and cleanliness were exceptional and the facilities too. Would highly recommend. The surrounding areas were less spectacular and a but rundown

We stayed two nights. Hotel rooms and breakfast are excellent Did not try evening meals as there were some weddings. some good external restaurants nearby Beech club is very good and would recommend you make use of it.

I just want to start off saying that I rated this hotel 2 stars not because of the staff or the hotel itself but more so because of the location. It’s described as being on the Amalfi coast but it is so far from everything. We stayed here for 3 nights but I have never felt more bored, it literally was a ghost town. The hotel had no vibes or energy and it almost feels like a rehabilitation centre. I would say to avoid staying at this hotel if you want to explore the Amalfi coast, only stay here if you’re trying to escape. The area it comes under is Paestum not Amalfi. The staff were wonderful and the food was great. If it wasn’t for the beach bar across the road we would’ve been even more bored. I would also strongly recommend not driving which is a mistake we made as there are no traffic lights or speeding restrictions, although there are speed limits, they are not followed and the locals drive crazy. Overall, I would give this hotel 2 out of 5, 1 point for the staff and 1 for the food. The hotel is very picturesque but BORING!

The staff were very helpful and nothing was too much for them. The room we had was spacious and well maintained. We were happy the hotel had a Spa with full amenities for total tranquility and relaxation.

This was an excellent holiday the hotel was well maintained and managed, there were a few weddings on during our stay, but this doesn’t affect the hotel guests, not busy like more tourist areas, an absolute gem, food and drinks all excellent exceptional restaurant, helpful staff nothing too much trouble I’d give six stars if this was an option!

Almost want to keep this our little secret but this is the most amazing hotel in Paestum. The staff are so accommodating, so friendly and helpful. The hotel is gorgeous, has incredible views, is clean and just idyllic. The food was delicious and I highly recommend visiting Tre Olivi - a double Michelin star restaurant which is apart of the hotel. There is a private beach club with again incredible staff, food & views. Paestum is a wonderful part of Italy in which you can borrow the hotel bikes to visit, I already cannot wait to go back!

The hotel is without doubt stunning with beautiful gardens. The smells around the hotel are amazing. Cleaning of rooms twice a day superb. The hotel is out of the way, we recommend getting a train from Paestum train station, we got to Salerno for 3 euros each. We went on to hire a car from there for a few days (be warned Salerno is very busy as is Amalfi coast and Italian drivers like to beep and drive where they want!) Driving was a little scary 😂 The drive to the Amalfi coast was abt 2 hours. We visited the ruins nearby which we highly recommend ! It was around 10 euros totally worth it. The hotel is expensive for eating and not easily accessible other than basic breakfast. We ate a lot at the beach 93 or Athena across the road. You must eat at Nonna Sceppa, best place we ate, delicious! Taxi is 15 euros - make a reservation. The thing that lets the hotel down is the weddings, yes they are lovely now and then but there were sometimes 2 a day and this meant as hotel guests you felt like you were intruding on weddings simply by wanting to sit by the pool or in the garden in the evening. One night there wasn’t a wedding the lights were turned off meaning you felt you couldn’t go out there! They tend to push you to the beach. Beach 93 is paradise , the sun loungers on private beach and beds around the pool, good escape from weddings however even here closed twice early in the week we stayed for weddings! It would be nice to have a pool bar at the hotel if you wanted to stay there for the day and a snack bar. We took the bikes to the beach /pool most days but evenings you had to go out of the hotel to eat as there is nothing to do there unless you want to spend a lot of money in there Michelin restaurant. We enjoyed a massage by the beach, heaven and we did the wellness path at the spa. Extra expenses but worth it. Overall beautiful hotel and grounds but felt pushed to spend time away from there.

We had a beautiful stay at this hotel and despite other reviews mentioning weddings, whilst they were some during our stay, we did not experience any disruption to our stay. It was the perfect getaway. The hotel was quiet, which was brilliant, the staff were attentive, especially Giovanni on reception, who assisted when I thought was too small. He was not happy that I was unhappy, and did his best to rectify for us. When we arrived, we had a standard room which we upgraded to a deluxe which gave us more space. The hotel itself has an amazing spa. We had a couples massage and we used the spa facilities one morning too. It was worth the additional cost for the relaxation we received. The breakfast was lovely, even though some items were not standard. For example, you would need to pay extra for pancakes or for a fully cooked breakfast. However, the continental selection that was there was lovely. The food was fresh and delicious. We didn’t eat at the hotel apart from breakfast because we went out to local restaurants recommended to us. We had a car and were able to explore the area and would definitely recommend going into Paestum and using the train station which is local to explore the wider area. We used the beach club which was a lovely additional touch The only areas I would recommend for the hotel would be the cleanliness of the pool because of the colour pool has been painted a dark colour on closer inspection pool, water and bottom of the pool should be cleaned. The pool area would benefit by having more staffing, a café and beds with umbrellas, so you could have more of a stay by the pool if you did not want to go by the beach Also, the addition of coffee and tea facilities in the room is standard However, apart from this, I would not hesitate to stay at the hotel again. We had a thoroughly relaxing time.
