Amalfi hotel accommodation - the three star Residenza del Duca, Amalfi

Residenza del Duca, Amalfi

Just a short walk from the beach, The Residenza del Duca is located in a palace that dates back to 954AD. Originally one of a group of palaces owned by an aristoctatic family, it has been sympathetically restored and transformed into a quiet hotel full of character.

Set on the top of a cliff, with stunning panoramic views of the beautiful Amalfi coast, it is run by Carmela and Gerardo, who pride themselves on offering visitors a warm welcome combined with every modern convenience.

All the rooms at this elegant hotel, just 100 metres from Amalfi's main square, the Piazza Duomo, are furnished with beautiful antiques, and the building's original beamed and vaulted ceilings have been beautifully restored by local craftsmen. Each bedroom is named after an important Duke of the Marine Republic, including Mastalo II, Mansone I, Ducissa Maria, Gisulfo II, Marino Sebaste. And each comes with air-conditioning, bathroom with hydromassage shower, hairdryer, satellite TV, PC connection, minibar, safe, direct-dial telephone, balcony or terrace with chairs and a table, and breathtaking views out to sea or over the ancient centre of Amalfi. Stunning Vietri majolica tiles, decorated by a local potter, and carefully chosen antique furniture and furnishings add to the sense of luxury.

Breakfast can be served in your room or on the terrace ... the perfect way to start your day in this romantic part of Italy.
