A hotel since the late 19th century, the Dutch artist Escher stayed in room six
here and was possibly inspired by the dizzily patterned tiles. The rooms are decked out in
traditional Amalfi Coast style with terra-cotta or light marble tiles, soothing cream fur-
nishings and tasteful landscape paintings; several rooms have fridges. Located just off
Piazza del Duomo within easy range of the clanging cathedral bells, the walled garden is a
delightful place to sip your sundowner.

A welcoming family-run
pensione
, this is the best budget choice
in town. Tucked away down a quiet lane, it has modest, homey rooms and sparkling bath-
rooms. All rooms have their own balcony and some have bathtubs. The restaurant is a fur-
ther plus with a terrace with (still more) fabulous views: the food's good, the views are
memorable and the prices are right (around €25 for a meal).

If you're after a no-frills, clean room within easy walking distance of everything, come
here. There are only two rooms, both of which have been decorated in medical white, with
white walls, white sheets and white floors. But what they lack in charm they make up for
in value, and, if you want colour, you can always sit outside under the lemon trees. No co-
incidence, perhaps, that the owners also run the Profumi della Costiera
limoncello
shop.
