Hotels on the Lake in Capri

Grand Hotel Aminta is a simply wonderful hotel. It has impeccably clean rooms with wonderful sweeping views over the Gulf of Naples and Mediterranean Sea. The staff could not have been more courteous or helpful, and the restaurant dining was excellent. It has a real “old world” charm - the kind of atmosphere and service that is sadly lacking from so many modern, more “corporate” hotels. We’d stay again in a heartbeat. Also worth noting it has a regular private bus service into Sorrento that works like clockwork, and many excursions to Pompeii, Herculaneum, Capri, Vesuvius, the Amalfi Coast and more can be organised straight from the hotel. Absolutely excellent!

I don’t think I can fault this hotel! The hotel and facilities are breathtaking, but more importantly for me was the professionalism of the staff and how helpful they were! We had an early train trip and they organised my taxi and gave us a breakfast box to takeaway. I’m looking forward to exploring the other hotels when we come back to Italy.

Nice place in a nice friendly community. I took a day trip to Positano. Nice. But it had a feel that it caters to tourists at the expense of authenticity. Parianno was the exact opposite. There is a quaint restaurant down the street. The same staff were there each night. The grew to know me and seemed happy to see me. I was out running one morning as I do every other day. One morning later in the week as I ran by, one of the waitresses seemed to be waiting for me and gave me a pastry as I ran by. I enjoyed my time there.
