Orto Paradiso

Great hospitality, great view, comfortable bed and pillows, good space.

Our stay at Orto Paradiso was everything we hoped it would be and more! The views are absolutely stunning, and the beautiful, lush grounds only add to the magic of this property. Filomena has thoughtfully curated such a special and unique stay, from the delicious, freshly prepared breakfasts to the carefully selected design of the rooms, and the gorgeous swimming pool, each space privileged to the amazing views. She was also so helpful in recommending local spots and helping us arrange transportation for our outings. The steps are a small price to pay for such a lovely experience at Orto Paradiso!

The staff, Filomena, Maria and Eugenio were super friendly and helpful all the time. The view is just amazing, just like the name of the B&B, a paradise. What was nice is that it is still a small hotel, which allows it to be very personal. The pool was a definite asset, the rooms were very comfortable, and included a little kitchen. Breakfast, Italien style, was plentiful with lots of home-baked goods and stunning views. Lots of lovely corners to sit and enjoy the view. The garden with lemon and olive trees was beautiful. We enjoyed walking to the Minori center for drinks and dinner.

Great little place on the cliffs above Minori. We stayed here for one night only, ducking in to get a taste of the Amalfi Coast before heading out through Ravello and on to Naples. We booked a triple as we were traveling with our daughter - the room was cute but fairly tight, and it had a separate outside patio area which was beautiful in the morning. Pros: My wife LOVED the space and the garden environment, It was exactly what she had imagined for Amalfi. Views were incredible and breakfast was very enjoyable. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Cons: If you are bug sensitive, mosquitos are an issue which makes it hard to enjoy the pool and outside spaces, particularly in the early evening. The room windows don't have bug screens, so A/C is pretty much mandatory as it was July and warm. If you haven't already read the other reviews, yes, there are steps. 150 of them from where the street ends. If you pack light and are in decent shape, you'll be fine. To get down to Minori, there's a small public shuttle (navette) at the bottom of the main staircase which will take you to town for one Euro. Easy! I took the stairs back up from the harbor and I counted 396 on the way back up, plus the 150 back to the room. Easy! In the end, I would recommend more for younger, active couples and less for larger families or folks with massive amounts of luggage. Overall a very pleasant stay.
