Villa Lara Hotel

My family and I had an absolutely amazing time at the Villa Lara hotel! Every staff member we interacted with was beyond accommodating and kind, and the hotel was in the perfect location close to the heart of Amalfi, while still being a bit removed up the road. Though there are a bit of stairs to reach the hotel, there is a lift you can take instead. The rooms were spotless and comfortable, with daily service. The morning breakfasts were delicious, and even set up earlier than expected so we were able to come down and enjoy the food before our early starts to a long day. The staff even made us whichever delicious coffees we’d like each morning! The staff assisted with our baggage up and down the lift when needed, and we’re so helpful with local recommendations. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Amalfi to stay here, I know we will be back!

The hotel was exactly as described and we loved everything! Thanks again!

The staff here were incredibly friendly and welcoming! This hotel has the most amazing view from the terrace, has a buffet style breakfast spread every day, and the staff can make you a fresh cup of really great espresso! I really enjoyed being able to have breakfast and coffee while most of the stores in downtown are closed earlier in the morning, and that the location of Amalfi was less crowded than other cities in the area, did not have hundreds of stairs, and had the most beautiful souvenir stores of all that I saw on the coast. Overall, this was a great place to stay for the amazing staff, location, view, and breakfast! Highly recommend.

First and foremost, the staff were so nice and friendly. The location was a little bit of a walk up the hill from the port but we knew this going in and wasn't an issue. To be honest, being able to walk up through the town was so nice being able to see so much of the scenery. The room and building were so beautiful and kept up considering how old it was. The morning breakfast was perfect each day, and the view from the veranda as we ate was spectacular. I couldn't have imagined a better location and accommodations.

The spa tub in the room was excessive and I'd be surprised if anyone used it because why would you come to Amalfi for that! But that didn't detract from anything for us. Be aware that there are steps to take to the room, not including up to the hotel. To get to the hotel there is a fine elevator to remedy that, but be aware of steps to the room. This was not an issue for us but it might be for some people. I would say, though, for those visitors to know that any trip to the Amalfi Coast will involve many steep steps no matter the town or location.

It had the perfect combination of old-world charm and modern convenience. The facility is beautiful, with a lovely view over the town center to the sea, a view we enjoyed from the terrace when we arrived and at breakfast the next morning. Our room was modern, spacious, and impeccably clean. Beds were comfortable. Nice big bathroom with a nice big shower. But best of all was the hotel staff, who were so welcoming and kinds, and helped us with arrangements for our travel from Praiano to the hotel’s front door, and again with our departure from the hotel to the ferry. They were absolutely wonderful, every one of them. (P.S. the hotel sits very high up on a hill, but there is an elevator that eliminates most of the need for climbing stairs except for a few short flights at the entrance and inside the hotel.)

Our stay was too short!

Villa Lara is a very charming property nestled in the hillside near the top of the main town area in Amalfi. The location was great providing quiet and peacefulness, with a short, easy walk to the center of town. The entrance was like walking through an enchanted little garden that opened up to a beautiful view of the town and sea. The staff is very friendly and helpful, they'd us engage us with warm conversation and were very attentive. We stayed in a triple room, so we had 3 twin beds. The room was a little tight on space but the beds were comfortable enough. The bathroom was very small, but it was well maintained and clean. The view from our room was the back of the property, we had the cutest donkey neighbors that were fun to watch.

Breakfast has some room for improvement, could've used some warm items like bacon, eggs, and toast. Or even just a way to warm the packaged pancakes or make toast.

I need to make it back here someday! I went about three weeks ago and I still miss it everyday. Our room was beautiful with a jacuzzi tub, shower, comfy bed, couch, and balcony. The balcony has an amazing view. The hotel offered a car service to pick us up from the train station, I highly recommend this because the roads on the Amalfi coast can be intimidating because of the switchbacks. He was very nice and the drive was beautiful! We pulled right up to the front door where you have stairs that lead to a cute little tunnel to an elevator. Our time there was magical, every morning I looked forward to having breakfast on the terrace and saying good morning to the friendly staff. The hotel is right up the hill from the city center. The beach and ferry station are a 10-minute walk away.

I wouldn't change a thing, glad there's an elevator, or the steps to the top would have been tough!

Loved the cleanliness and service. Staff were quite helpful. Valeria helped with the driving directions and to the letter which finally got us to the hotel location. Luca promptly remembered my coffee the next day, thanks Luca! The staff made our stay quite nice and comfortable! The location was just 5-7 mins walk from the main market square which was quite convenient too. Thanks to Team Villa Lara for a wonderful stay at Amalfi 👍👍👍👍

Some hot breakfast options such as toast or scrambled eggs would have been good.

Our stay at villa Lara exceeded our expectations. So friendly and helpful stuff even thought that we visited them in the end of the season and they must be really tired. However they were always smiling and were willing to help us providing us with all useful information. The rooms were spacious and clean. The location is great. 5 minutes walk from the center. Worth mentioning that when i left the property I had forgot my glasses and they did everything they could to assist me, thet went to the post office and sent it to me back in Athens. Definetely recommend them. Thank u for everything. Stephanie from Greece.

Cannot speak highly enough about the staff! Every person we interacted with was so warm, kind and helpful. They made us feel so welcome and we genuinely looked forward to chatting with them every morning and evening. The location is absolutely perfect. Two blocks removed from the main alley so it was quiet, but close enough to hustle and catch a ferry on a whim when we needed to!

The breakfast was great in the mornings. We made croissant sandwiches, had a bowl of fruit and enjoyed the juice & tea for breakfast. The staff was super friendly and attentive. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

The car service didn’t drop us off at the hotel. They said cars weren’t allowed up the Main Street so we had to lug our luggage 10 minutes. Other than that, it was amazing!
