Hotel Lidomare - , Italy 

we loved our stay at The Lidomare Hotel, Amalfi, we arrived late the fist night after an exhilarating coach trip along dramatic coastline. we were met by Carlos from the hotel who led us away from the drop-off point up a twisting turning route which we never believed we would find our way back from! To the hotel which was everything we had hoped for and more, we had the most gorgeous seaview with balcony, the room was huge with lovely antique furniture, the bed was superbly comfortable. And when we left the hotel to look for food that first night we found how central it actually was!! the main street just minutes away and easy to find really if you trailed a piece of string behind you!! The whole stay exceeded our expectations, Amalfi and surrounding area is breathtaking to the extreme, the weather was great, the pizzas rolled on forever, my husband was happy, what more could a girl ask for?? I would totally recommend Amalfi and The Lidomare Hotel to anyone who wants a holiday just slightly different and maybe more authentic than the Costas, etc. We will definitely be going back probably next year and to The Lidomare as long as we get the same room!!

The WORST PART about our stay in Amalfi for our honeymoon! The staff was very kind and always waiting for you with a smile, but the room was a NIGHTMARE. Just big enough to fit a double bed and 2 suitcases, the white, scuffed-up walls looked like they hadn't been tended to in decades. There were ANTS in the bathroom and little WHITE WORMY-BUGS in the extra blankets! The hotel was booked up and wouldn't offer us another room...they just said they would take care of the ants and get us another blanket. I wanted to cry and I dreaded going back into the room. When we returned, we were smothered by the smell of RAID, our blanket was gone, and they changed our duvet cover to a grimy, STAINED, torn duvet that smelled like it came out of someone's garage. Also, they offered no discount for our trouble and only took $13 Euros off our bill when we paid in cash. NOT ANYTHING LIKE THE WEBSITE or the beautiful rooms there....stay away and find something else!
