RELAIS PARADISO

This is not a Relais and not Paradiso; do not be impressed of the pictures, they are completely misleading; the front desk and team is for a 2 STAR hotel. dining area is pretty small for 3 tables. NO SPA and the pool Area not serviced and not maintained. I got a Room like in a 2 star hotel and air-condition was not working; they do not show it in the pictures - you get it, once you are there with no other choice. STAY Away from this Hotel. they ruined my vacation and I had to pay $380 per night - BAD.

Me and my husband stayed at this hotel for 5 nights. We had an amazing suite which was a good size, outdoor plunge pool, lovely toiletries. The bed was circular and very comfortable with nice bedding. Mini bar prices were reasonable but a bit more of a selection would be nice! They have an honesty bat in the reception which is a nice touch. They offer to give you fresh towels in the evening. The pool area upstairs is nice, a bit small but adequate. Towels are provided. We had an amazing burger one day for lunch while relaxing by the pool. Great views here too! Breakfast is nice, the cappuccinos were lovely and the view from the terrace was amazing. We did not eat dinner here as we preferred to go into vietri, the wee town about a 10 minute walk from the hotel. Walking during the day is nerve wracking but manageable but at night I would recommend the free shuttle bus (last one at 10pm) or a taxi (very steep at €10). We loved vietri, it was lovely to come back after a day exploring the busier towns around the Amalfi Coast. There were plenty of lovely places to eat and have a drink. Sud est in the square does amazing pizzas and the wee bar next to it does lovely aperol spritz for €5! The square seems to be where locals gathered in the evening from the very old to the very young and all ages in between! It's seems to be a town with a lot of locals and you are not pestered to go into restaurants or to buy things the way you would be elsewhere. We loved it! All in all the paradisso was an amazing stay and we would come back. We were originally going to stay in their sister hotel the Hotel Raito but on arrival they told us the pool was under maintenance and we refused to stay. We are so glad we moved to this one. We had a hire car that we could park no problem. Highly recommend this small boutique hotel. Also the staff are very friendly!

The service at this hotel was amazing! It was a nice, small little place we stayed at along the Amalfi Coast line. The views from our room were amazing! As was the small private outdoor pool. The only thing you need to know about this place is, if you want to go to Positano or Capri, you need to wake up early to catch a ferry! Not possible later in the day.

Perfect location for exploring the Southern part of the Amalfi Coast. 2 minute drive from Vietri and 5 minutes from the City of Salerno. The hotel staff are all very friendly and accommodating. Excellent breakfast served indoors or on the terrace with the most beautiful views across Vietri and the beyond. Our room has the upgraded outdoor whirlpool and private sun bathing terrace which probably could have been a little more private (separated only by wooden trellis) but its a minor complaint. As is the lack of service at the roof top pool where i would have ordered more drinks/food given the opportunity of anyone taking orders! But this aside, it really is close to perfect. Simple but beautiful bedroom decor, modern and crisp with superb comfortable and large beds. Free parking outside the hotel and minutes away from the beach by car. Maybe a 15 minute walk by foot (if you are brave enough). The hotel does offer a shuttle service to Vietri too which if great if you don't have a hire car.. As its a small hotel there are no hordes of sun lounge chasing tourists here! No queues at breakfast either, it really feels rather boutique and personal. Loved it.

We stayed here for a week to chill after a three week tour of Italy and it definitely did not disappoint. We arrived late on a Sunday evening and were greeted by Francesco who brought our cases to our room for us and fresh lemonade. We stayed in a junior suite (101) and arrived into the suite to a complimentary bottle of prosecco which was a lovely touch after a long day of travelling from Florence to Salerno. We also received another bottle of red wine halfway through our stay which was also complimentary and waiting in our room after we had been out for food. The room was open and spacious with a large bathroom with a glass wall looking into the bedroom which really made the room look even more spacious which is exactly what we wanted. There was a bathtub with jacuzzi jets, we were disappointed to ring reception and be informed that they did not have an engine to power the jets because we'd looked forward to this from the photos but never mind. There was a also a large basin, bidet, toilet and large walk in shower along with lots of complimentary toiletries and a hairdryer. The room had a large bed, drawers and wardrobe as well as a lounge area with a sofa bed. There were two televisions - one for the lounge area and one for the bedroom. The mini fridge had a variety of drinks but they were not complimentary and neither were the snacks above. The French doors opened up onto a beautiful balcony overlooking the coast with two sun loungers, a table with two chairs and a whirlpool which was lovely to cool down in after sunbathing however it wasn't very clean - not sure if it is actually cleaned between stays as our first night there were stones and plants at the bottom. We ate in the restaurant most nights because we found that the Vietri town centre wasn't really our scene, it was quite quiet and not many restaurants or bars / nightlife. The menu in the restaurant was quite expensive and not very many options, it was mostly seafood however the non-seafood options we tried (ravioli, steak and lamb chops) were cooked to perfection each time. The waiter we had the first two nights was great but we didn't catch his name unfortunately. We went to the spa on our final night at the sister hotel but we would not recommend this to anyone. The view from the spa balcony was to die for but that was about it. The treatments were incredibly overpriced for the standard we received. It ended up costing us nearly €300 for three treatments!! However this is not really a reflection on the hotel, more just advice for future guests to spend more time at the hotel than the sister hotels spa. If we were to come to Vietri again we would stay either closer to Amalfi / Positano or rent a car because it was quite a secluded area with not a lot going on for our liking however we can not fault our stay at Relais Paradiso.
