The rating carries a caveat that you need to be mobile and averagely healthy as there are steps to reach the hotel and especially if you stay in one of the lower rooms in the terraced grounds. We arrived in Naples and took a bus to Sorrento (£10 euros). We went by bus from Sorrento to Praiano a daily ticket... More

The Bella Vista Hotel is situated in the little picturesque village Praiano. It is a friendly family-hotel. From the balconies of the rooms you have a beautiful view of the meditarranien sea and the isle of Capri. It is very quiet, but It is only a 5 minutes walk to the village with restaurants and little shops. The homecooking is... More

Views to die for. Wished I had asked and gone for a guided 'walk of the gods' which is a coastal path. The boat trips from the hotel are very convenient and a pleasure to go on. The fireworks are best seen from the sea. I wish the food had been better and of more generous portions....but there are super... More

We have spent our 35th, 37th and now our 40th Wedding Anniversary at the Hotel Villa Bellavista. We absolutely love this small, family owned Hotel with fantastic views of the Tyrrhenian Sea with Capri in the distance. The two sisters Adele and Sonia, supported by their brothers and father, have worked to make each of our visits memorable; from being... More

39 out of 40 is ridiculous for this very pretty family run hotel. My husband and I have stayed at this hotel two years running and are returning this year again. The views are the best on the Amalfi Coast, you can see Capri from the dining terrace and your balcony - ok it is on the side of the... More

I had booked a sea view room well ahead of my trip with my wife and 6 months old son. 5 days before our arrival we received a curt e-mail saying that due to a "computer error" our room will not have a sea view. I replied that the hotel is responsible for such errors and demanded a lower room... More

We have just returned from our 2nd stay here (8 days last year, 7 this). I don't understand why Bellavista is so far down the review list. It may not be the best hotel in Praiano, but it is the best value. Most of the rooms are spacious, while those that aren't are priced accordingly, and most have a stunning... More

Situated well in Praiano - steps down to it beside bus stop. There are a lot of steps but everywhere is like that on the Amalfi coast so if you have any mobility issues best avoided. We stayed here 5 nights - we were given a very small room to start i.e. shower over the toilet! But they changed us... More

What can you not say about the Amalfi Coast? It is stunning. We booked the Hotel Villa Bellavista on the strength of their website and we weren't disappointed. You must bear in mind however that this is a basic Hotel but is very cosy and in a great location plus it is very reasonable. We were travelling with 3 kids... More
