Being as objective as possible, I would rate our experience a 3.5 out 5; The owner/manager does his best to service our needs but overall the location of the property and his desire to save on expenses made our short stay less enjoyable. He welcomes his guests at the port but for a reason...There is absolutely no way you would find your room if he was not there to guide you. The ascent to his guesthouse is by far not for the weak of heart. Especially when carrying your bags. It is 150 steps to climb and when you arrive through a myriad of passages you are completely drenched in sweat (especially in hot weather) by the time you get to your room. The rooms are clean and spacious, and the owner tires to make the most to make your stay as enjoyable. However, there was one big problem with his setup...the air conditioning was centrally controlled and those 2 nights we stayed, we could barely feel the cold air in our apartment. I understand the need to control expenses but you could sense his desire to make sure we did not consume unnecessary energy. Open a window, and the energy shuts off to the AC. The recent heat wave in Italy made our nights not too pleasant in Amalfi. The big question is whether we would return and the answer is no. Unfortunately its location and amenities are not recommended for an older couple or traveler. But, if you are a younger traveler with limited budget, it may be considered.
