This property was absolutely lovely. Our room had a wonderful terrace with a gorgeous view of the sea. The private beach and restaurant were such an amazing luxury. We could easily walk or take the shuttle into town. From town we dined at Michelin rated restaurants in the evening. Also from town we took the ferry to various cities along the Amalfi coast. The staff at Hotel Cetus were extremely helpful and courteous. I highly recommend this hotel!

Tranquil, amazing location
Amalfi is amazing, but most people already know that. This hotel, and Cetara in general, are fantastic for people who want to be on Amalfi, but have a more tranquil experience with less crowds. The negative is less convenient options to restaurants and shops. Cetara is terrific little town a short, but somewhat adventurous, walk away. I would absolutely recommend the hotel based on the location, staff, cleanliness and size of rooms, the hotel restaurant, and hotel beach.

Not recommended it. The hotel was ok . the staff was not friendly at all. Check in no one offered to help with luggage . I understand this hotel is not 5 stars but at least be a bit friendly and smile to the people would be nice.Hard to get around from the location. The dining options is limited. When we first arrived the restaurant was close for private events for the whole weekend, play loud music. In the room you can hear footsteps and the door closed and open the balcony not private walk out you will see the the next door neighbor in underwear or smoking all the time could not enjoy the balcony because you know that European they are smoke all the time and everywhere! The only nice thing is the private beach that they have . Would not Go Back to stay there .

We were here for 2 nights. Had ended our Italy trip late April/early May here and couldn’t have been more happier! It is expensive taking a taxi in and out of Salerno but walking to the nearby town/beach was fine! The property is beautiful and everyone was great! The morning breakfast was WONDERFUL!!! Mimosas… I highly recommend this location of views and service! We had a terrace room. Well worth it!

We enjoyed our stay here. It is much quieter than Positano and Amalfi. This can be a positive or negative, depending on what you are looking for. There is a ferry you can take to several different towns. It is a 5-10 minute walk to get to the ferry, along the side of the road (no sidewalk). The hotel offers a shuttle service, which is great, however it is not always available when you need it, so don’t count on this service. We had great views of the sea, and the room was spacious and comfortable. There is a small private beach, but you will need flip flops or other footwear to walk on the pebbles. The connected restaurant is nice, great food. We walked into Cetara town one evening, and there are several restaurants to choose from. Since it’s a fishing village, the emphasis is on fish/seafood. We used a tour guide service that had been recommended by the hotel. This was awesome. The owner of the company went above and beyond to create personalized unique experiences for us. The company is Mandato Consulting. I cannot recommend them enough for enhancing your trip to the Amalfi Coast. Call Alba and she will ensure you have a wonderful time.
