Albergo S. Andrea

Near everything.

The Hotel San Andrea overlooks the central square of amalfi, with stunning views of the duomo. Bright tile floors reflect the local artisans and the bed is super comfortable (on the firm side). Amazing sound proofing windows! Nice robust breakfast. The welcome was so warm, amazing location, and the rates are a great value. Maria made sure to get me settled despite an early arrival, and helped orient me to the local restaurants and options. The central location and ease of access can’t be beat.

Being on the piazza has one drawback - namely you can’t sleep with the windows open due to noise all night, first from the restaurant / bar crowd and then once the tourists go to sleep, from the trash services and deliveries. The windows are incredibly sound proof when closed and the AC is fantastic so this is truly only minor.

Maria was a delightful host who greeted us later in the evening - our room looked onto the Amalfi Cathedral - it was a stunning location and we had everything we needed, including a great recommendation for dinner.

The view to the cathedral. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable.

The house is old with no sounds protection. In the evening you hear all the noise from the square until very late. In the morning you start hearing the cleaning personal of the square before 6am - and I was wearing good ear plugs! Inside the house you also hear every door that opens and closes and every step on the corridor. But something I could not believe was the breakfast: the bread and croissant were definitely from the previous day. The cake was more than 2 days old. The cheese was cut old as well. The “fresh” fruit was “fresh” because it was in fridge but the fruit provided was even rotten or almost. I asked for it to be changed but more rotten fruit was provided. I was honestly shocked. You can’t charge 250€ for a room and offer this breakfast to your customers!
