Ανακαλύψτε τη διαμονή σας σε Minori

Well first of all we visit Minori every year and usually stay at Villa Romana which is a particular favourite of ours. This hotel is ideally placed and the family who own the hotel are beautiful. The decor is antiquated and very authentic, however, my other half is celiac and allergic to gluten/wheat. The choice for her for breakfast was very very poor and in general, the breakfast was a real let down. My other half was offered 2 pieces of gluten free bread on the first and second day, gluten free croissant on the third day and back to 2 pieces of bread the rest of the week. For everyone else, not everyone wants to eat salami, cheese and salad or hard boiled egg and some pastries every day. There are plenty of pastry options and there is a bacon and scrambled egg option, however the bacon was vastly undercooked and the egg was baked and was burnt every day which ruined the taste. Our main complaint was that we were put in a very small room and as the temperature in Minori was between 35 and 38 each day the air conditioner in our room did not work. We asked for this to be resolved every day but nothing was ever done. As I stated the family who own this hotel are really lovely people and were polite and tried to do their best for us but little things let this place down. The solarium on the roof was promising however the sun loungers were dated and on one occasion broke when I was lying on it resulting in me falling back against the wall and scratching my back badly. They had a blow up jacuzzi as their dipping pool!!! If these minor faults were ironed out and people with allergens were catered for properly and the breakfast was reinvented to give a better choice it would be a more appealing stay, as well as updating the air conditioning. Finally if they had a proper pool on the roof it would be a game changer. Hope this helps.

The hotel is beautiful with a lot of attractive, inviting public areas. Our room was lovely, spacious and well-equipped, with a balcony overlooking the pool area. The large bed was very comfortable. It was well-serviced and clean. There was plenty of room in the wardrobe, but only 1 drawer each. The bathroom was nice with a good shower over the bath. We could hear the conversations of people in adjacent rooms and also on the corridor, but other guests were not noisy and did not keep late hours. The dining room was large, pleasant and relaxing. It was well run by the very professional maitre d' and his team. Breakfast was excellent with a full range of cooked food which we found delicious and hot. There was also an amazing range of food for continental breakfast. We particularly liked the jugs of coffee and hot milk, which could be refilled on request. At dinner, there were 3 courses, with a choice of 3 dishes for each. All of these were appetising and we had trouble choosing which ones to have. We enjoyed all the dishes we were served. We didn't need to use reception much, but most of the people we spoke to there were very pleasant and helpful. The hotel is conveniently situated about a five minute walk to the beach, promenade and ferry port in Minori, which is a lovely, small town with lots of bars, cafes and restaurants. You can easily see it all in half a day and we would recommend taking lots of trips to see the beautiful surrounding area. Ravello was our favourite, with an outstanding villa to visit, very calm and relaxing. The roads are narrow, winding and busy. We don't recommend driving! We were there for a week and the high standards never varied during the whole of that time.

The hotel offers superb value for a stay on the Amalfi Coast, and its reasonable price reflects the experience. We had read about the noise in previous reviews, but it turned out to be more significant than we anticipated. The hotel is located within a hairpin turn on the Amalfi Coast highway in Minori, with the Minori bus stop right at its front door. Despite all of us being heavy sleepers, the constant noise from cars, buses, motorcycles, mopeds, and honking throughout the night was unavoidable. While this is not the hotel's fault at all, upgrading from single pane glass to better soundproof windows would mitigate the issue. The hotel itself, it is dated, but the owner at the front desk was incredibly kind and friendly. She provided us with valuable recommendations for restaurants and markets within Minori. The room was also dated but impeccably clean. The shower was small but typical due to the dated nature. However, the room was functional, and the beds were comfortable. The highlight was the large private balcony with a city/sea view. Breakfast is not served on the hotel property but at a cafe down the street. Despite this, the breakfast was delightful, offering one pastry and one coffee of your choice. Overall, considering the hotel's price and its superbly convenient location, it's a phenomenal value option, just note the potential noise factor during the night.

Avoid at all costs. Caution to those looking to book, there is a hotel panorama and most likely the positive reviews are meant for the hotel, not residence. First, I was told the card couldn’t be processed after successful online booking and that I needed to email my full credit information as the balance remainder on the card was insufficient, despite myself knowing this is not the case. I double checked the card I used and also asked for the last digits of the card. The card was fine, when I told them this they then changed the story to say the card number was just incomplete and again to email the card information. I refused to email and they threatened to cancel the reservation. During July, there were very few available hotels at this point just a few days to check in. So against my better judgement I provided a rarely used card in case of them being a scam and called with the information. Upon arrival at the very old building, they asked for a security deposit of 100 euros. This seems unheard of here in Italy and was discussed also in a very recent review as well. I provided the same card again written on an old fashioned carbon copy paper. When I got the keys to go upstairs they told me there are also stairs as many guests are scared of the elevator. I didn’t know what to say but now that seemed warranted. When I entered the room to lock it, I found the deadbolt to be jammed so that there was no way to internally lock the door. The building is shared use with local apartments. When I let the front desk know the deadbolt did not lock (I am young female alone) they told me first that none of the doors had internal locks. I asked a guest staying there as this seemed simply a lie, which they confirmed their door did lock internally as is a bare minimum feature at hotels to have a deadbolt lock. I note the keys to get in are a physical key rather than electronic. I requested they call maintenance to fix the door, they told me they had already left but they will come in the morning to fix the door. This means they lied that all doors do not lock as they agreed it needed to be fixed. I then informed them I would not be accepting the room and would be leaving. They tried to delay me so much with the same circular talk of they will fix the door in the morning (despite previously saying all doors do not lock internally), they also say they have security at front desk (but there are multiple entrances and no security between local residential floors and guest floors), and later that Italy requires all doors to be non panic and not internally locking (this is false). They will not refund or cancel the multiple night stay and now dispute with credit card company is in progress. Whatever you do, avoid this place. The room was also dirty and couldn’t have been cheaper put together despite the cost of the room.
