Hotel Cetus

What a gem. The staff were so kind, the rooms had gorgeous views, and the beach was a perfect spot to unwind with a drink after a swim. We loved our stay. For getting there, if you’re comfortable with public transit, you can take a train from Naples to Salerno, then the SITA bus to the hotel. Another option is the ferry from Salerno to Cetera, then calling the hotel to ask for a pickup at the port in Cetera. There’s parking at the hotel, but the Amalfi roads are no joke. If you’re planning to stay at the resort most of the time, I’m not sure I’d recommend renting a car. A taxi, bus, or ferry would be more relaxing.

The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, from the servers to reception and everyone else we met. The hotel has beautiful rooms with stunning views and a clean private beach that’s easy to reach. Its restaurants serve excellent seafood, and breakfast is decent, though the buffet feels limited for the price. Free parking is a real plus. It’s about 30 minutes from Amalfi town and the nightlife, and we ended up driving there every day. The hotel itself is very quiet and relaxed.

The food, the room, the beach, the views, the staff, everything was just right. I was there with my son, and it made for a calm, beautiful, refreshing stay for both of us. We’ll be back. Thanks for making it so enjoyable!

The quiet water and private beach made this a great fit for our group, which included two kids and two grandparents. We wanted to get away from the tourist crowds, and Cetara worked out perfectly. The hotel itself is stunning, the rooms are immaculate, and breakfast was lovely. We ate at the hotel on our first night, then in town for the rest of the stay. During the heat wave, it was a welcome place to retreat in the afternoons. After 4pm the sun no longer reaches the private beach, so it was a cooler place to spend the hottest part of the day. The whole staff was wonderful. This was the highlight of our trip, and we’d happily stay again.
