Hotels Near Farmacia del Santo in Salerno

Very comfortable stay. Nice, clean room certainly no complaints in that respect. Location is outside of the centre of Salerno, however a half-hourly train can be caught 5 minutes walk away from the hotel, which gets u into Salerno in 15 minutes, and u can be at the tourist ferry terminal in 25 minutes. A small number of restaurants around and a supermarket is 2 minutes away. Breakfast was very basic but was sufficient enough. Not too bad for the price point and definitely cheaper than Amalfi Coast, but the easy access to Amalfi Coast made it worth the stay.

The negative reviews on here debate whether this is a 5 star resort or not. This is subjective and depends where you have stayed in your past. We live in the US. We have lived in Shanghai for many years and traveled extensively around that region. The resorts there are truly 5 star. Some of the best in the world. Even compared to the US. However, traveling throughout Europe there are different standards. This region is older and steeped in history which is the allure of visiting. Having said that I Hotel Raito is a 5 star resort. The service is outstanding from the front desk to the dining room and even maintenance and then the pool. The pool is fantastic! Very relaxing and the views! The dining at their restaurant in the evenings were great. We stayed in room 120 which is at the front of the hotel overlooking the entrance from the parking lot. My guess not the most desirable room. My wife and I were fine with it as it was clean and had a balcony overlooking Vietri and the sea. We are very positive people so that helps with our experiences and outlook. I could go on and on. Come stay at Hotel Raito and explore and fall in love with the Amalfi Coast!

It's far from Salerno city center and there's nothing around. I decided to rent a car and go to a more leisurely place. I was surprised that there was no supermarket or restaurant~ Facilities and breakfast are good <

We booked for our anniversary an used this apartment as a base which is situated high up on the Amalfi hill, not the hotel fault but wanted to make people aware it’s on a dangerous bend the apartment was equipped well however the other inconsiderate residents used the washing machine on the top floor at 4 am. We was based on floor 5 so could hear this none stop. I think people use here as a base the hotel is further down the road an apparently more modern. The restaurants are all in the hotel an nearly £50 for 2 ppl for breakfast is ridiculous priced but this was for a buffet of pasty yogurt an eggs served to your table how you like them. Just felt over priced. Also you can’t use the hotel pool even though it wasn’t at full capacity. They offer a shuttle service to & from the main town €5 each way and can be reached via what’s app service. Some of the staff where pleasant and friendly and some not. I got the impression you have to be a hotel guest to be treated well. As an apartment the bedding was changed once the towels once or pay £12 each day for clean ones even though they are paper thin. Maiori is a small older traditional town in my opinion close enough to catch the ferry to positano / Capri/ Amalfi etc but I wouldn’t return.

The hotel is nicely located in the center of town and next to a pharmacy which makes it nice to get around. There are lots of food choices, but just know that most establishments do not serve dinner until 7:00 pm. The front desk staff are very unprofessional and the least helpful people we found in Italy. Beware of the lady with short dark hair as she is not helpful! The fifth floor banquet facility is beautiful but beware of the bees and pigeons that land on your food. The wait staff upstairs are very nice though! The Buffet itself is nice with fresh fruit assorted fruits and pastries. Eggs are runny with lots of milk added which I didn’t care for so much. Breakfast should start at 7:00 am as most tour groups need to be out the door by 7:30. Beware of the shower. Make sure the shower head is pointed downward otherwise you will flood your floor which happened on the first night!! The water view is the selling feature but, our crew were not impressed! My husband works in the hotel business and customer service should be top and foremost! This hotel does not have it!!

We arrived on Sunday 22/10/23 with limited expectations, the hotel had a Wedding in progress and this made check in at most casual, initial impressions were ok décor looked traditional and clean, The room 204, that's where it all went down hill, room was small and bland. a small TV hung on the wall, a fridge was in the cupboard below which didn't seem to work and was supposed to be stocked, it wasn't, it was empty, walls were scuffed and could have done with a lick of paint. The bathroom was small and had an over bath shower with usual facilities, the bath needed the sealant replaced around the whole bath, the shower blind was a bit dated and grim the underside of it was not clean. I'm afraid it wasn't inviting, quite the opposite, needed updating. The door to the balcony was new and worked well, when you get outside you see this hotels appeal being 600m Above Sea Level the views are breath-taking. Bed was hard as stone like sleeping on a mortuary slab, not that I've ever done that and i actually slept quite well. my wife however wasn't as pleased, we enquired about a topper at reception, the language barrier did get in the way but we thought we'd got through, alas we didn't get the topper. we had one meal in the hotel which was ok. Breakfast was served on level -1 a large soulless room, normal continental fair ham, cheese, bread, hard boiled eggs some limp lettuce, no cereal to speak of, yogurt tea and American Coffee. Not exactly well presented but ok. my wife is a coeliac(gluten free) and the staff provided gluten free products, on the Wednesday morning and i can only assume that as there were only 5 people in the hotel breakfast was served in the ground floor restaurant, which was better, and had great views, breakfast was served at the table. There was a bar but it was not well stocked or manned. 2x G&T's £8 parking was ok a bit tight but ok. The hotel is in the hamlet of Agerola which has limited restaurants and bars we had drinks at Madame in the square and at the bar across the road when the aforementioned was shut, we had a meal in the next village along, which was also small and only had one or two restaurants that we could find. Not exactly buzzing but very pretty and it was October, also bear in mind the temperature is 3-4 degs lower than the coast, Also it takes about an hour to get to the coast, round some tight bendy mountain roads, if your a nervous driver might not be the place for you. We left a day early and moved to Pompeii as he weather was not good, and we wanted to get nearer to Naples, paid the bill which included a local tax! I'm sure was included on the original booking but i may be wrong, worth watching out for. This hotel is very pretty and traditional the staff are friendly and helpful, it has the potential, to be a good hotel, public rooms are modern and clean but they need a bit of fine tuning, Room/s need modernizing. Overall we had a pleasant stay.

I can't say enough about this hotel, we stayed 3 nights. We had a sea view room it was large and clean. So worth the upgrade...the view was absolutely amazing. The hotel itself was beautiful, it was so hot when we were there and loved the pool. The service was amazing, the owner/manager and all the staff are so helpful and attentive. The breakfast was spectacular! We had lunch twice at the hotel everything was delicious, ingredients right out of their garden. I highly recommend this hotel and hopefully will be back and will stay longer next time!
