Hotel Villa Poseidon & Events

A small stylish hotel and one of the few on the Almalfi coast with a pool which was a real bonus in the very hot weather. Great view over the town, port and Mediterranean. Great transport links from Salerno by train and boat to all the famous attractions, close to the old town with good range of restaurants. There is an escalator from the town to the hotel to help negotiate the hill top location and the hotel run a shuttle bus service at certain times. Salerno although lively, is not as busy with tourists as more famous towns which was a positive as other locations visited were packed.

Fabulous views from property and hotel was very elegant and beautiful.

Villa Poseidon & Events was an enormously, wonderful surprise. The views of the Tyranean Sea, the entire city of Salerno with its ancient buildings to the well-groomed beach with its boardwalk, park and palm trees are unequaled. You can see yachts, ferries, sailboats, powerboats on the sea or moored at one of the marinas that are like bookends to the beautiful beach.The Villa is exceptionally maintained and manicured. The cobblestone courtyard and parking area behind the dynamic wrought iron ,app-operated gates are painted in a sea-shell scallop pattern to match the white design of the gates. The grounds are huge with fruit-tree lined paths, many terraced sitting areas with glamorous lawn and patio furniture. A series of walkways and stairs all lit-up at night with dome, neon lights or lanterns with candles. The huge kidney shaped pool is surrounded by more sitting areas, a dining area under a huge pergola , another overlooking the pool sheltered from the side of the mountain by flowering trees. For the travellers who hike or those who like to get their steps-in, the stairs and patio-stoned walkways of the resort lead to 291 stairs that take you down, past a local mountain road, down further to the edge of Old Town Salerno. To return to the Villa, the town has provided a series of three covered escalators built alongside the stairs to the mountain road. Beyond that to the Villa’s private doorway to their property, one must literally retrace their steps. The property is family owned and operated and since there are only 10 rooms all named after flowers, the staff devote themselves to your every need. The rooms have every modern convenience. The lobby and eating areas are gorgeous. No wonder brides choose the Villa for their wedding venue. It’s the ultimate private romantic getaway. It is paradise.

We had a lovely, large room with small balcony over looking the sea. Comfy bed. Room quiet at night we slept well. Nice bathroom. The room was serviced/cleaned each day. Nice breakfast with a good selection of food. The hotel had a courtesy shuttle into town each morning which we used most days. The entire hotel was very nicely furnished. All staff were very nice and very helpful.

Excellent view, overlooking Salerno city and the sea. Breakfast was really good with plenty of variety including yoghurt and fresh fruit. Our room was spacious and clean, had a wonderful terrace with a sea view! Best of all, the staff was amazingly friendly and helpful with all the requests we had.
