We stayed three glorious nights at the wonderful Villa San Michele and it really is a delightful, relaxing, authentic, totally charming place to enjoy the best of the Amalfi Coast. It's within an easy walk of Altrani and Amalfi, and a short hop up the hill to Ravello. But we didn't feel the need to venture beyond the inviting gardens and lovely spaces of the Villa itself! The staff are super friendly and charming, lead by the wonderful Nicola (special mention to Antonio who made everything smooth and enjoyable). The food is exceptional, lovingly cooked by Rosa (keeping low profile but clearly the heart if this excellent operation) All rooms have magnificent sea views and the villa offers perhaps the best swimming spot on the Amalfi Coast. Highly recommended.

Really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Beautiful location. Lovely rooms with stunning views. Delicious homemade food and friendly and entertaining service. A car is not needed as the hotel is walking distance to Amalfi where you can get boats to Salerno, Capri etc. Would highly recommend this hotel and hope to return soon.

Villa San Michele is one of the best and most beautiful places I have ever stayed in, especially taking into account the unrivaled value for money it provides. First and foremost it is important to highlight the villa's outstanding location - within walking distance from many beautiful towns of the coast, including Minori, Maiori, Atrani, Amalfi and Ravello. We never even had to use a bus, but instead explored picturesque and interesting walking routes. The premises of the villa are marvelous - beautiful gardens located on several levels with wonderful views of the sea. If you like swimming the place is surely for you. The access to the sea is perfect here and the sea itself in the bay near the villa is crystal clear without any navigation of vessels close to the shore, which gives opportunity for a good long-distance swim along shore. If you like lazing around getting suntanned you won't be disappointed either - on the territory of the villa there is a wonderful terrace with sun-beds, where can you relax under the direct sun or in the shade of a beautiful pine tree if it gets too hot. The premises are quite big compared to the size of the villa that is why the guests never disturb each other and the feeling of peace and seclusion never leave you in this God blessed hermitage. In the evening or during the day one can relax with a bottle of wine on a wonderful garden terrace. The food served at the villa's restaurant deserves accolades and highest praise possible! All the dishes served there, except smoked fish, which was too specific for our taste, were remarkably exquisite. The use of local fresh products and excellent skills of the cook, the owner's wife, ensured one of the most satisfying gourmet experiences in my life. Incomparably delicious pastas and ravioli, excellent sea food dishes, the best mozzarella and the best ever octopus with lemon totally blew my mind. We had a room without balcony, which was quite simple, but nevertheless had all the necessary amenities and nice design. The bed was very comfortable. The room had a killer sea view - what a pleasure it was to sleep in the fresh air hearing the waves splashing nearby and wake up only to see an amazing sunrise over the gulf. The villa is owned and managed by the hospitable and industrious Dipino family, remarkably nice people, always ready to help and provide a good piece of advice. They create a very homely atmosphere in which one feels not simply a resident, but a cherished guest.
