“Beyond our expectations”

We booked this hotel hoping for somewhere clean and comfortable as a base for exploring the Amalfi coast and we were more than satisfied. The room was large with a comfy bed (firm, but that's how we like it) with a private balcony (nb: sea view rooms are extra but worth it, imo) and an uninterrupted view of the sea. The bathroom was a good size with a jacuzzi bath and a shower with jets. Breakfast was a continental affair, with cereal, eggs, bread, cheese, meats, fruit, cakes, etc, etc and everything was delicious. You could eat your breakfast on the veranda looking at the glorious views being gently warmed by the rising sun. While the decor could be considered by some as a little dated it was all very well kept, maintained and very clean. There is a bus stop directly outside the hotel (definitely recommend using the buses to get around!) and there is a plethora of fantastic restaurants to choose from in Praiano itself (a little walking required to head back into the town proper). So, in summary, awe-inspiring views from your bedroom and your breakfast, large comfy room and bed, courteous and helpful staff, good location.

“A truly relaxing experience”

Hotel La Perla was a very pleasant surprise. At first we thought it may have been too far from the township of Praiano (about 1 km walk), however, it proved to be very close to a swimming beach, fabulous restaurants and the marina where the water taxis leave for the larger centres of Amalfi and Positano, or catch the SITA bus at the bottom of the driveway. Both Amalfi and Positano are crawling with tourists. The sea view rooms in La Perla have the most amazing balcony with outstanding views that are hard to tear yourself away from. The staff are very attentive and friendly and breakfast on the terrace is always a joy. If you want a relaxing experience, La Perla is ideal. We will definitely be going back again.

“Great for local travel”

Great little three star hotel, perfect for local travel to Amalfi, Positano and Capri. We found the hotel very clean and well looked after, staff was friendly and helpful. Be prepared for stairs, but don't miss local cookies at breakfast, they're great! Coach stop just down the stairs, with plenty of choices for day trips to Amalfi or Positano. It's about 20-30 min to either and it's cheap, a few EUR each way. You can take a day boat trip to Capri from the local marina, which is just at the end of a footpath. The local beach is very close and the other more luxurious beach in Praiano is a free boat ride away. There are a few restaurants just next to the hotel, with more ample choices at the of Praiano. Enjoy!

“Worst room in the hotel”

Maybe because we had a child sharing the room we were given what must be the worst room in the hotel. Our friends room was good but we were in a very hot,low ceilings,pokey,stuffy room. Very clean room, nice people, good breakfast included.

“a pearl on the suburbs”

La Perla Hotel is a gem on the coast! It's a lovely hotel with magnificent view, around 2km walk from the center (and the shops), but only 5 min walk away from the beach, AND just opposite SITA bus stop! the staff couldn't be more helpful and breakfast with cappuccino was amazing! Praiano is the best town to stay in when on Amalfi Coast, it's right in the middle between Positano and Amalfi, is less touristy but still very charming! Enjoy your stay as much as I did!

“Wonderful getaway”

I arrived at this gem (or should I say Pearl) of a hotel around 6pm. Someone came down the steps and carried my bags up for me. I got all checked in then they carried my bags up to my room. I thought it was a room without a view until I stepped out onto the balcony and saw the sea. The room had a jacuzzi tub and a bidet. Breakfast included perfect cappuccinos, breads, hams, cheese, pastries, yoghurt, fruit.... I ate the most delicious orange in the history of oranges (and I grew up in Florida!) the juices ran down my fingers as I peeled it. The staff were very nice and helpful, recommending restaurants, shopping, printing bus schedules for me, and letting me use the internet. There were books available to read in a variety of languages. I had dinner one night at the hotel, it was so good, I ate there the next night too! I had some kind of spicy bowtie pasta with shrimp, lamb marsala, and a rosemary steak (not all at the same time!) They were all fantastic. They did a great deal for a complete meal of first course, second course with veg, and desert for less than it would cost for a single course at some places. Everything was just perfect. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat.

“Love to go back.”

I would recommend the hotel to all. We were very impressed with the service and attitude of all the staff. If I decide to go back to that part of Italy again, I will definately be staying at La Perla.

“La Perla - Above and Beyond”

The people at La Perla are what makes the hotel so great. I can't say enough about Vincenzo, he's awesome. We arrived late and everything in town was closed. Vincenzo and Davide created a plate of delicious paninis so we didn't go hungry. They even poured us wine as we sat out on the veranda and ate. They were very welcoming after such a long trip. The hotel is very charming. Especially the seating are on the veranda where you can see to Furore. The rooms are comfortable with mini-fridges and a jacuzzi tub! Morning meal consists of cereal, fresh fruit (bananas, cherries, kiwis, oranges,) crossiants and various pastries, salami, ham, cheese, boiled eggs and coffee of your choice. It's very simple and very good because everything is fresh. The location is great, the is a SITA bus stop just beneath the driveway. Just across the road is a path leading to Marina di Praia (the beach.) Hotel La Perla is great! I recommend it to everyone!

“Not impressed”
