Santangelo Resort & Spa ★★★★

"Remote, Unwelcoming, and Not Worth the Cost I stayed at the Hotel Santangelo Resort & Spa from 11–15 September 2025, and it was one of the most disappointing hotel experiences I’ve had. Although I chose this property for its price and supposed proximity to local sites, it turned out to be extremely remote. Walking anywhere is unsafe—the roads are narrow, with no consideration for pedestrians. I am able‑bodied, but anyone with mobility issues should avoid this location entirely. I booked a superior room with a balcony but was given one with only a bi‑fold window. The room itself was clean and the bathroom acceptable, but the fridge barely worked (a bottle of water took over six hours to chill), and requests for something as simple as ice were refused. The hotel constantly pushed guests to book meals and spa services. The restaurant was often filled with conferences or locals, the menu was repetitive and overly “fine dining,” and asking for something simple like pizza was frowned upon. While the cleaning and grounds staff were friendly, the reception staff were rude, dismissive, and spoke little English—every request felt like an inconvenience, so I eventually stopped asking. If you’re hoping to use this as a base for Sorrento, Capri, or the Amalfi Coast, think again. The winding roads make every journey exhausting, and travel sickness tablets are practically essential. The pool was freezing and almost always empty, and the sister hotel across the road meant crossing a dangerous street just to get food or drinks. As a solo traveller, I was glad my stay was only four nights. I even missed breakfast twice due to early tours, and no packed lunch was offered. Between the constant fireworks, the unwelcoming atmosphere, and the lack of basic hospitality, I cannot recommend this hotel. If you want remote, this might suit you—but otherwise, avoid it."

Casa Raffaella - Apartment 2 ★★

Agriturismo la Casa Del Ghiro ★★★

"We stayed one night in midweek September. Very nice swimming pool and excellent chef who is extremely talented. The bedroom was tired and needed an update. Quite cramped and hot. Creaking bed and v thin sheets. However for one night we could manage."

Relais Buona Stella ★★★★

Tenuta Miranda Agriresort

"Beautiful resort. The food, rooms and setting are outstanding. The pool is beautiful and the environment is simply stunning. It is a one of a kind destination. The only thing that’s missing is a local taxi company. A car is a must if visiting this resort as taxi drivers are reluctant to go into the mountains and the busses are unreliable. Our plans were ruined our first day due to transport issues. A taxi man happened to drive past us as we were waiting for a bus and he ended up arranging our taxis for the duration of our holiday."
