Hotel Miramalfi tells the story of a man and his love for his hometown. At the end of the 19th century, Francesco Mansi left Amalfi for Mexico in search of work. After many years, his homesickness grew too strong and he returned with his family. He wanted to give something back to the town where he grew up. In 1956, after six years of construction, he stood on the terrace of his hotel and said to his wife: "From here, you can admire Amalfi." Having learned Spanish in Mexico, he named the hotel Miramalfi: "look at Amalfi". Today, the hotel is still owned by the Mansi family.
The hotel is open from April to early November.
36 rooms.
Check-in is available from 3:00 PM. Check-out is at 11:30 AM.
From 1290 euros.
The passion towards the hotel and the Amalfi Coast has been passed on from generation to generation, and this is something you can sense. In fact, the hotel's owner is the grandson of its founder in 1956.
All rooms and suites have a private balcony or terrace with views of the sea and Amalfi. No two rooms are furnished alike. The interiors are modern and white, with accents in the blues of the sea and sky. Rooms range from the 25 m² Superior to the 60 m² Executive Suite with two bathrooms. Every room has air conditioning, a Smeg coffee machine, a minibar, a safe, a Dyson hairdryer and Ortigia toiletries. In the evening, a turndown service prepares your room for the night.
We choose the Deluxe Room. At 30 m², it is more spacious than the Superior, and the terrace has sunbeds.
The Beach Club was built in 1970 among the rocks at the foot of the hotel. It has a saltwater pool, a solarium with sunbeds and parasols, and direct access to the sea. The Pool Bar serves snacks, and if you'd rather stay put, you're served at your sunbed.
The gym overlooks the sea and has Technogym equipment, from treadmills to spinning bikes. Personal trainers are available on request. You can join a free yoga class every day, and in the massage room you can book a massage or treatment.
If you'd rather explore the coast from the water, the hotel's own Aprea Mare 35, an eleven-metre Italian gozzo, is available from this season. With a skipper at the helm, you cruise past the cliffs and villages of the coast, stop for a swim in a cove or set course for Capri. Choose between a four-hour half day along the coast or a seven-hour full day along the Amalfi Coast, with a stop in Nerano or a trip to Capri. The centre of Amalfi is a five-minute walk away, or you can take the hotel's free shuttle.
Book a table on the Donna Emma terrace for sunset.
In the morning, a continental breakfast is served with fresh bread, coffee and seasonal produce. In the evening, you dine at Donna Emma, the hotel's fine-dining restaurant. The chef cooks with produce from the coast, and the sommelier suggests a wine to go with each dish. The Azur Lounge Bar is the hotel's new sea-view terrace. Stop by for a light Mediterranean lunch, or in the evening for a cocktail or a glass of champagne with the lights of Amalfi in the background. At Mario's Bar, you can have an aperitif or a digestif on the terrace. Choose one of the signature cocktails or a lemonade made with Amalfi lemons.
Hotel Miramalfi is 800 metres from the historic centre of Amalfi and overlooks the harbour, the beach and the town. Boats leave from Amalfi harbour for other towns along the coast and for the Bay of Naples. Ravello is 7 km away, Positano 16 km and Salerno 26 km. The concierge can arrange excursions to Pompeii, Herculaneum and Paestum, cooking classes, lemon tours and hikes along the Path of the Gods.
Naples airport is 65 km away, and Rome Fiumicino airport is 295 km away.
An airport transfer for two people costs 150 euros per journey.
You can park your car in the car park free of charge.
Hotel Miramalfi fits right in among the most highly regarded hotels on the Amalfi Coast, and rightfully so. This five-star hotel, which is also a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, is located within walking distance of Amalfi, as its name suggests. The fresh interior design, the beautiful seaside pool and the exceptional location are the main reasons guests keep coming back.
