The Amalfi Coast hotels and hostels

Hotel Lidomare

Family run, this old-fashioned hotel has real character. The spacious rooms have an air of gentility, with their appealingly haphazard decor, vintage tiles and fine antiques.

Hotel Graal

Nicer inside than out - which is lucky because the exterior looks more like a car park than a hotel - the Graal is a decent three-star with tasteful rooms and an excellent panoramic restaurant.

Palazzo Murat Hotel

Hidden behind an ancient wall from the surge of tourists who pass this pedestrian thoroughfare daily, the Palazzo Murat is a magnificent hotel.

Luna Convento

This former convent was founded by St Francis in 1222 and has been a hotel for some 170 years. Rooms in the original building are in the former monks’ cells, but there’s nothing pokey about the bright tiles, balconies and seamless sea views.

Casa Astarita

A pocket-size gem, this B&B is housed in a 16th-century building in the city centre.

Hotel Antica Repubblica

A smart hotel snugly housed in a whitewashed 11th-century palazzo. Inside it's all warm terracotta floors and earthenware vases, floral ceramic tiling and wrought iron lamps.

Hotel La Tonnarella

A splendid choice – but not for minimalists – La Tonnarella is a dazzling canvas of blue-and-yellow majolica tiles, antiques, chandeliers and statues.

Hotel Pupetto

Overlooking Spiaggia del Fornillo, this is as close to the beach as you can get without sleeping on a sun-lounge.

Villaggio Residence Nettuno

Marina’s campground – in the terraced olive groves by the entrance to the village – offers an array of accommodation options, including campsites, mobile homes, and (best of all) apartments in a 16th-century tower for two to five people.

A Scalinatella

This bare-bones operation, just round the headland in Atrani, has dorms, rooms and apartments scattered across the village. Breakfast is included in the price, and there’s a laundry to boot. Doors are locked at 2am.

Agriturismo Le Tore

A working organic farm amid 14 hectares of olive groves, producing olive oil, sundried tomatoes (and paste) and marmalade (among other products), La Tore is a wonderful place to stay.

Hostel Brikette

A short walk from the Bar Internazionale bus stop, this bright and cheerful hostel offers the cheapest accommodation in town.
