Hotel Aurora, Amalfi

A hotel in Amalfi with a delightful spot in the pretty Italian town. The three-star Hotel Aurora sits in one of the prime locations of Amalfi, on the seafront and near to the famous cathedral (Duomo). With a choice of 29 comfortable double rooms (with options including refrigerated minibar, air conditioning, fax machine and bathrooms), this is the ideal base for exploring this beautiful part of Italy.

Amalfi enjoys a spectacular location, the whitewashed buildings of the town clinging to the rugged cliffs and gazing down upon the blue waters of the Gulf of Salerno. The town sits at the opening of a deep ravine, set at the foot of towering Monte Cerreto. This was once the capital of the Maritime Republic of Amalfi, a major force in Mediterranean trade in the early Middle Ages. Amalfi became famous for the manufacture of handmade paper (it still goes on today, and the town has a paper museum). Today, it is most famous as the heart of what is arguably the most beautiful stretch of coastline in Europe, with the coastal road winding spectacularly between Salerno, Ravello and round the headland to Sorrento.

This friendly and comfortable Amalfi hotel has a 24-hour front desk, concierge services, currency exchange, safety deposit boxes, left luggage and parcel services. The staff will arrange transfers to the airport (Naples Capodichino is 75 kilometres away). There are taxis nearby, and the nearest ferries (out to Capri and the islands) are 21 kilometres away in Salerno.
