Zia Pupetta Suites

Zia Pupetta Suites is a small (four room) accomodation next to the Duomo in the village of Amalfi. We wanted to stay in Amalfi itself, for the convenience of bus and ferry schedules, for our three night visit. Finding the guest house was a little difficult. Facing the Duomo, there is a set of buildings to the right, with an arched stairway to the right of the first shop. You go up those stairs, turn right, up another couple steps, then go up another staircase, through a doorway, and up another set of stairs (it turns out there is a "Zia Pupetta" sign in the doorway of the first set of stairs but you wouldn't see it unless you were already on the stairs). A fantastic location once you knew how to get there. We booked the "Deluxe Family Suite" which has a double bed and sofa bed (the pictures on their website accurately reflect the rooms). The rooms must have been recently renovated (or maybe the space itself isn't that old), as everything was in very good shape. Technically speaking it can accomodate 4 adults, but you better all be good friends...it would be a very tight fit. Very good closet space, a larger-than-average mini-fridge, and coffeemaker were appreciated. The ceiling slanted severely from the middle of the room to the far wall, so much so that it was impossible for me (almost six foot tall) to stand up straight, unless I opened one of the two skylights (which provided great light). In the summer, I imagine the room would get quite warm. Breakfast is not included, and the guest house counter is not staffed 24 x7 but the team is readily available via WhatsApp. The bed was comfortable, great water pressure in the shower although the hot / cold was very sensitive and tended to wander from where it was set. Fortunately, too, the Duomo bells marking the time did not toll from 10pm - 7am. They requested the tourist tax payment in cash. Overall a very good stay.

I really liked the property, specially its location. My only issue with the property was the check-in. I could either checkin after 9 or before 06:30 pm. We had already a ferry booked from 08:45 to 07:00. They were not happy to accommodate that at all. I had to cancel my ferry and take later ferry to go to capri. Other than that the place was great.

Hotel is great, noise is terrible. The hotel is nice, but if you want to sleep, it's impossible. The loudness from the square grows even louder between 11pm to 1am. Someone was even weed-whacking at 3am. If you like to party and stay up until early morning, it is perfect for you. But as ladies aged 30-40, it was not for us. As for location, it is wonderful!

Depite we asked for a late check-in because we were supposed to arrive at 19h00 (!!!) they said it was impossible so we arrange to arrive for 18h30. When there none opened the door and they sent me a essage at 18h30 sharp saying I didn't show off so my reservation was canceled, but had to pay the full price. Never seen a similar lack of professionalism, that made me think of an systematic way of doing.

Great place in the heart of Amalfi right next to the central church, was total chaos driving to find it as you have to drive up the center walkway, would have been better advised in greater detail to drop bags and then park, but property was awesome and so fun being in the heart of it all. Loved it!
