Residenza del Duca

Amalfi


This family-run hotel has just six rooms, all of them light, sunny and prettily furnished with antiques, majolica tiles and the odd chintzy cherub. The jacuzzi showers are excellent. Call ahead if you are carrying heavy bags, as it’s a seriously puff-you-out staircase climb to reach here and a luggage service is included in the price.

Room 2 is a particular winner, with French windows and stunning views.
