Hotel La Bussola, Amalfi

This delightful three-star hotel in Amalfi is perfectly placed for a holiday discovering the delights of a wonderful stretch of Italian coastline. Steamers leave regularly to Positano, Capri, Naples and Salerno, while the ancient Roman archaeological sites of Vesuvius, Pompeii and Herculaneum are within easy reach for an excursion or day trip. The Hotel La Bussola is named after the mariners compass which was invented in the Mediterranean area some time during the tenth century; in those days, the area around Amalfi was an important seafaring republic and there is a historic nautical air to the hotel and its setting. Set in a delightful 19th-century building that originally served as a mill and pasta factory, La Bussola boasts fabulous views of the Mediterranean and is just a short walk from the town's main square, shopping centre and bustling harbour.

There are 60 handsome en-suite rooms here, some with lovely sea-view balconies and all with air conditioning in summer and heating in the cooler months. Direct-dial telephone, a personal safe and a continental-style breakfast is included in the room rate.

The hotel has an excellent restaurant serving a menu of tasty local specialities and regional Italian cooking; there is also a friendly lounge/bar with an extensive drinks list. There is 24-hour service on the front desk where guests will find safety-deposit facilities, an internet point and tourist information and details of excursions. There are mooring facilities for guests with their own boats and a valet-parking service. Small, well-behaved pets are welcome to join their owners here.
