Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. Super location, a great town centre base for exploring Amalfi, Ravello and sourrounding areas. We were fortunate enough to have a room with a terrace overlooking the sea (I think that most do). The hotel has a classy feel of a bygone era stuffed with antique furniture, old pictures, books and other quirky bits and bobs.

The Hotel was charming, but our room wasn't. We asked for a room with sea view, but instead we got a dark room with just a very small window facing a wall.

This hotel is a real find, close to the central square, a very helpful staff, spacious room overlooking the sea. There is traffic noise evening and early morning, but all the positive aspects of the hotel offset this in my opinion.

This hotel has an incredible location and for the price is very god value. Our room had a balcony overlooking the main waterfront piazza. The room was beautifully furnished and was the only hotel we stayed in on this trip that had a bathtub. The Manager spoke very good English and was very helpful. I would recommend this hotel very highly.

This is an excellent hotel. Staff very friendly and helpful. All areas very clean and well maintained. Our 4 night stay was very comfortable and we enjoyed our stay at Hotel Lidomare. Amalfi is a very enjoyable town and the view from our hotel was fantastic!

A charming and professionally run hotel. All aspects of our stay were exceptional and we were delighted with the authentic and beautiful decor of the hotel. The location is perfect for those wishing to explore Amalfi (or to get a boat ride up the coast). Though the Floridiana scores more highly on the website we checked it out and definitely the family run intimacy of the Lidomare. We highly recommend this hotel.

This is a nice little hotel in a perfect area. The rooms for 4 people were large. The price was great compared to others in the same area. They were able to accomodate 2 families of 4 and we were not squeezed in at all. Amalfi is a great town, not as crowded as Positano for a fraction of the price. Most of the rooms have no view, but not necessary as we didn't stay in our room much. I definitely would stay here again. We wished we could stay a few more days!

Maria and her brother were a joy to stay with. They made it feel like you were a family member staying over in their home. They were very accommodating. The room was gem, very spacious and the balcony overlooked the ocean from the second floor (looking past the building and street below. The highlight was the amazing fireworks that were displayed right above our balcony that filled up the night like a neon umbrella.

The Lidomare is situated in a quiet courtyard a short flight of steps away from the beautiful main town square. It's not as difficult to find as some previous reviews have suggested and is clearly sign posted from the main square. The hotel itself is very charming with interesting and sometimes strange antiques lining its long corridors. Our room was twice the size of the room we'd had in Rome, with a beautiful mosaic tile floor. My only complaint would be the quality of the breakfast. If you have a sweet tooth then you'll be fine as you get bread and jam and a very sickly apricot jam filled croissant. They provide no fruit or fresh fruit juice, however, and the coffee was the worst I've ever had in Italy. Some guests were subsidising what was provided and bringing their own food to the table. Not a good sign! The woman who served breakfast seemed to be in a permanent foul mood and treated the guests with disdain, though the owners were more welcoming. Overall, it's a charming hotel in an excellent location, though the breakfast needs improving. Amalfi itself is beautiful and we were very sorry to leave.

We loved this hotel! Very cute, clean, and quiet place in a great location near center of town. Some of the other hotels we stayed during this trip did not live up to their pictures but Lidomare definitely did. The staff was very accomodating too. There are numerous stairs to get to Lidomare so it was quite a struggle to get our luggage up to the top but the gentleman at the front desk raced out to assist us and even took us straight to our room without making us check in first. Would have loved a room with a view of the sea but we made our reservations at the last-minute. Would absolutely stay there again and would highly recommend to others.

We stayed at Lidomare for two nights. The hotel is in old palace....if you like antique furniture, thick wall and you don’t mind a bit of damp it is a great place! It provides only continental breakfast (bread, jamb, croissan),but not cheese or ham ,The owners are friendly and willing to help. Our room was with a balcony overlooking the seafront (the main road as well),very big and with a iacuzzi bath. The main square is just around the corner. Abbiamo alloggiato all’ hotel Lidomare per due notti.L’hotel e’ nell’ antico palazzo della famiglia Piccolomini,quindi si vive il fascino “dell’antico”,ma anche gli svantaggi dell’”antico” come l’ odere di umidita’.L’hotel si trova a due passi dalla piazza principale,dalla nostra stanza si vedeva il mare,ma anche la strada principale trafficata.La nostra stanza era enorme,con bagno con vasca idromassaggio (che abbiamo usato con gioia!)La colazione e’ semplice con cornetti e marmellata,ma niente buffet con frutta,formaggi o salumi.I proprietari sono veramente discreti, gentili,e pronti a dare informazioni, stile ospitalita’ familiare.

The purpose of mt trip was to find inspiration for my writing. This reason resulted in my desision to vacation on the coast. The Lidomare fit the purpose of my trip. I found the hotel to be as cozy as the town of Amalfi. The staff went out of the way to accomadate any request that I had. They printed out schedules and info from the internet at my request. They took care of any request i had for my room. The room overlooked the small Piazza on the backside of the hotel. I was able to open the doors onto the terrace each morning to allow the sounds of every day Italian life into my room. The hotel is in the center of all activities in Amalfi but yet remains a peaceful solace to its guest.

All hotels should be like this one. Only the pictures on your site don't show how nice the hotel is in reality.

The hotel was up a small alley and signage was difficult to view from the road with the directions given. The room was spacious and the floors immaculate. The location was central for an Amalfi visit. The room was on the main road and the windows and deck access had to be closed to avoid the road noise and vehicle fumes from entering the room,but did, however, eliminate the noise when closed. The view was excellent. I recommend the hotel as a good value for a base to explore the surrounding area, but not if you want to sit on the balcony and enjoy the surroundings.

We were happy that we chose the Lidomare for our stay on the Amalfi coast. We were very warmly welcomed at the door by the owner who seemed to be expecting us at exactly that moment as he greeted us by name. The room was spacious and clean and the public areas and breakfast room were very nice and furnished with interesting antiques. The family who own the hotel were helpful when needed. We had a beautiful view of the sea from our large balcony and the hotel was near to the main part of town and the bus stop. We would stay there again.

This is a gem. It's tucked away off the main plaza. You have to climb lots of steps just to get to it, but once you do, it's delightful. It's old and not as clean as a Holiday Inn, but our room was huge and had a small balcony looking out on the sea and all the portside activity. Breakfast was good and the staff very helpful. We were sorry to leave. If you have a car, you stop in the taxi area while one person runs up to ask that the car be collected. "Vincenzo" shows up and takes it away to the garage. This cost E12 per day, but was very convenient.

Wonderful hotel. The couple who run the hotel arranged to have our car picked up from the main square and parked for us (there is little or no parking in Amalfia), and were very welcoming. Location is superb, hotel is very classy for the price, nice bed, walk in shower, breakfast was a little basic, but great coffee. Would stay there again without hesitation.

Very pleasant staff. A good central location. Only bad comment is about the single room I had, It's not shown in the pictures & it is small. There are a couple of hooks to hang clothes behind a curtain but nowhere else to put clothes. The room is about 6foot x 15foot with the ensuite in one corner. No bath, so no jacuzzi as mentioned in hotel details. Didn't spend much time in my room so it was not really a problem. Had a job to find hotel when I first arrived, ask for the Sant Andrea Cathedral then stand with your back to the Cathedral steps, you'll see a small alley on the opposite side of the square slightly to your right. Go in there & up the left hand stairs, when you get to the top the Lidomare is opposite on your left with a sign outside. The best beach is at Atrani, a 15 minute walk around the coast road. Its not so busy as Amalfi's beach.

What a welcoming staff. They answered all questions and were very helpful. I had a car and they called for the garage to pick up the car and deliver the car. Give about 20 minutes lead time to get the car back. It was 16 euro a day. I had a little trouble finding the hotel, but asked a shop owner and was directed up the stairs and there was the hotel. A little hint once you are in the square it is across from the duomo. Go through the little arch take the steps on your left. I will stay there again. I was by myself in a single room, but when I go back with my wife I will stay in room 34 which is a gorgeous space.

Our stay at the Lidomere was wonderful fun. All personnel were friendly and took time to answer questions or provide local information. The size of the room was adequate for twin beds and the shower was of ample size. The hotel was right down town, so we could walk or catch a bus for sight seeing. All-in-all, this is an excellent place to stay

It was a great stay and great location. I paid $102 for a one night on new year's eve and it is literally located in center of the city. by the square (City is small, but still) The best thing about the hotel is that the hotel owner who knew who we were as we arrived to the hotel. I think it is family owned, and every staff are truly nice. When we could not find any restaurants to eat that night, he called 3 or 4 restaurants to find us a place to eat. Although my room was by the entrace, it was very quiet and clean. I saw a glance of the seaside view room, and the room looked fabulous. I would definitely stay there again.

The Lidomar hotel in Amalfi is in my view not worth 3 stars and its rate.Actually, on the plaque outside the hotel there are 2 stars + 1 added - slightly off centre and in a different red.It's a nice little hotel, but too expensive for what it is. There were no room rates shown and the manager asked to see the your e-mail so he would know how much the rate for the room was.Breakfast was below expectation.

Great loaction in the heart but locked away above to remove yourself from the hustle. Great local, family authentic qualities. Highly recommend. A bit of a challenge if you have quiet a bit of luggage to make it up the narrow staircase but not an issue as anywhere on the Amalfi Coast will train you enough for stair climbing.
