Donna Giulia, Luxury House

We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is very close to the train station and right by the waterfront and ferry landing. The host was extremely communicative via WhatsApp and was also very accommodating to us with check in and luggage storage. She also provided us a map and took the time to share routes and recommendations with us. We took many of her recommendations and they were excellent. The rooms themselves are beautifully decorated with very comfortable beds. The main space is similar. We also found the building to be quite beautiful and interesting, despite the fact that it’s under renovation. It really didn’t affect our stay at all. We would gladly come back and would recommend to others!

Parking was a bit difficult, had to park off site and ranges from $25-$35 a night. The B&B staff were not always available, it had a beautiful view of the water and promenade, but it was not disclosed that there was scaffolding and netting obscuring the view, the building was a bit dirty and rat traps all over. A lot of this was because of a current renovation in the process. The room it’s self was very nice. The staff was very nice. The location was great. Overall this would be an ok place to stay when it is completed

We had a wonderful experience at Donna Giulia Luxury House. Luciana and Vittoria were excellent hostesses and provided for all our needs and beyond. There were 8 of us in my family, all adults. We used 4 of the 6 rooms in Salerno. The bedrooms and bathrooms were all very nice! All were updated and spacious. We loved the added living and dining room as shared spaces for the family to gather. The location was great, being nearby the train station and ferry. Additionally, there were many restaurants and shops in walking distance. Don't be put off by the scaffolding on the exterior and renos on the interior of the lobby. The interior of Donna Giulia was completely restored to it's original beauty with lots of family history. We experienced no construction noise or other inconveniences at all! They arranged for airport transportation for all of our group and made several suggestions for sightseeing and restaurants. We were very happy with making Salerno our home base for four nights on the Amalfi Coast while visiting Pompeii, Positano, Sorrento, Amalfi and Paestum. I would return to Salerno and Donna Giulia again. We did end up hiring a driver for two days which was a plus. Also, this was a great value for the money.

Interesting place. We didn’t end up staying there. It was clean for sure and they were nice but I wish there was some rating system that allowed you to judge if it’s a good fit for your expectations. It wasn’t a good fit for our family. Was expecting a hotel. It’s a few rooms in the section of a building that is fully under renovations so there’s scaffolding on all of the outside. Because of our expectations I was looking for a hotel signage. There was none. You walk up to the building and you ring a doorbell which is one of many in the building. It’s more like an apartment building of sorts. Best way to describe it would be if someone rented half of the floor of a building and then subdivided it, threw up walls and placed beds within the walls. We were all collectively shocked. If we had understood the set up we would definitely not have booked this location. Also, it didn’t help that the phone number wasn’t working. We thought it was our phone and kept calling our phone provider. Turned out their phone number did not work. Figured it out when we called another place in Italy. We had to do a mad scramble and manage to salvage our vacation and ended up somewhere we were very, very happy. Once again, I’m sorry but between the construction and set up I don’t think the place represented itself accurately.
