Cetara – Bændagistingar

Marilena Bandaríkin

When staying on the Amalfi Coast, as beautiful as it may be, it always comes with its set of challenges. With this accommodation, it was an absolutely perfect stay. Cetara was a place that fit the bill perfectly- it was just big enough to have plenty of places to go and areas to wander. This particular accommodation was in a location so perfectly placed, where you were able to savor a view so spectacular and wander grounds that were absolutely magical. Our room was within lemon groves, apricot trees, wild olives, figs... everything about it, just astounding. The room expertly done, being minimal but had aspects of tradition and modern elements expertly combined. We had our own small patio, perfect for an aperitivo along with a balcony wrapped in grapevines off the main room. Its location was a robust hike to town, about 20-25 minutes which can be a rarity when staying in Amalfi- access to town AND a killer view from above. Enter our host, Nicola, an elegant, warm, intelligent and kind gentleman who was a pleasure to speak with. He was communicative and helpful at every turn. Nicola ran the grounds along with managing the accommodation. We were lucky enough to be there on a night where the chef was available and took up his offer of dinner at the booking- INCREDIBLE! The menu was based on what he was able to grab from market to be the freshest and best for the day. It did NOT disappoint. Our breakfasts were always amazing, filled with wonderful pastries, jams, cheeses and cured meats. The breakfast room- another space so tastefully done which maintains the original layout of the location but with subtle modern touches. The onsite pool is bigger than it looks in the listing picture and was a wonderful are RARE amenity to bookings on the Amalfi coast. We also had an excellent outdoor space for a picnic lunch after a hungry visit to a local supermarket. I've found my magical place in Amalfi. I hope to return soon. Thank you Nicola!

The location was perfect for us, on the hill side of Vietri with a stunning view. We were travelling with two cars and there was ample parking. The rooms were functional and clean. Travelling with young family, it was very convenient to have dinner at the property for the whole stay. Breakfast was amazing, they even provided delicious sandwiches to take away for lunch. The host Gennaro was extremely kind and looked after us very well. Outside the restaurant there is a beautiful garden where the children played. I strongly suggest this property.

It's a very pleasant place surrounded by nature. The staff is also very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend trying their food; the products are truly natural and extremely tasty. We had dinner at the hotel, and the chef's own pasta recipe was delicious. I definitely recommend it for a calm and peaceful atmosphere.

The room was very clean and spacious. It had a beautiful area that was semi private out the back, which I believe they called a balcony, where you can sit and see a beautiful view. Restaurant was really good.

Definitely order a meal here! It is so authentic, the chef is passionate and uses his own ingredients! Honestly if this place was on the coast it would have a waiting list to get in, which is part of the gem that it isn't!

The location. The food and wine. The owners and family.
