This was a phenomenal stay. You can walk to the town of Cetara to eat, or hop on the ferry to anywhere else in Amalfi. There is a beautiful private beach and the staff was extremely accommodating. It’s close to everything but without the business of the city. Highly recommend.

Great find

This hotel was an incredible find on the Amalfi coast. Far away from the usual tourist areas yet close enough to an authentic Italian village. The hotel was in an incredible location on the side of a mountain overlooking the sea. The staff was friendly and helpful. The whole hotel restaurant was incredible. Highly recommended.

Hotel Cetus was very nice. Room with water view was spacious. The flushing mechanism was a bit wonky, and the floor got a bit dirty. Otherwise, it was comfortable and the service was excellent. Resturant staff was very good and the barman Danielo was fantastic. He was helpful and generous and a delight! Resturant dinner was excellent; each fish perfectly prepared. The deserts were a step above. Best, most creative tiramisu I’ve ever eaten!
