Hotels in Amalfi CoastA family-run 4-star hillside hotel in Praiano
9.3/10
Exceptional hospitality and sea views, with hillside logistics worth planning around.
Hotel Margherita is a family-run 4-star on Praiano’s hillside, and it’s an exceptionally strong pick for a quieter Amalfi Coast stay. Tripadvisor and Expedia guests repeatedly praise genuinely helpful staff, spotless rooms, generous breakfasts and the sea-view dining at M’Ama. The panoramic pool and complimentary shuttle around Praiano and to the beach make it more than just a scenic place to sleep. We’d choose a sea-view room to make the most of the setting.
The trade-off is convenience: this isn’t beachfront, and exploring on foot means hills and steps. The shuttle helps locally, but trips to neighboring towns still need planning. Rooms favor traditional tiles and furnishings over contemporary polish; some guests mention dated interiors or noise. We’d skip it if you need effortless beach access or sleek luxury, but for attentive service and coastal downtime, it delivers unusually well.

Best for: couples seeking a quieter coastal base; travelers who value personal service; families wanting a pool and local shuttle
Watch out for: hills and steps between hotel and coast; book the sea-view category explicitly; some reports of room and corridor noise
Location: Above the coast in quieter Praiano; the free local shuttle helps with hillside distances.
Rooms: Traditional majolica tiles, balconies and sea- or garden-view categories; some interiors feel dated.
Cleanliness: Consistently praised across guest-review sites, with particularly strong Booking.com cleanliness ratings.
Service: The standout: repeated praise for warm staff, transport arrangements and responsive problem handling.
Amenities: Panoramic seasonal pool, M’Ama restaurant, breakfast, garden fitness area and massage treatments.
