B&B Orto Paradiso

Great little place on the cliffs above Minori. We stayed here for one night only, ducking in to get a taste of the Amalfi Coast before heading out through Ravello and on to Naples. We booked a triple as we were traveling with our daughter - the room was cute but fairly tight, and it had a separate outside patio area which was beautiful in the morning. Pros: My wife LOVED the space and the garden environment, It was exactly what she had imagined for Amalfi. Views were incredible and breakfast was very enjoyable. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Cons: If you are bug sensitive, mosquitos are an issue which makes it hard to enjoy the pool and outside spaces, particularly in the early evening. The room windows don't have bug screens, so A/C is pretty much mandatory as it was July and warm. If you haven't already read the other reviews, yes, there are steps. 150 of them from where the street ends. If you pack light and are in decent shape, you'll be fine. To get down to Minori, there's a small public shuttle (navette) at the bottom of the main staircase which will take you to town for one Euro. Easy! I took the stairs back up from the harbor and I counted 396 on the way back up, plus the 150 back to the room. Easy! In the end, I would recommend more for younger, active couples and less for larger families or folks with massive amounts of luggage. Overall a very pleasant stay.

Our stay at Orto Paradiso was everything we hoped it would be and more! The views are absolutely stunning, and the beautiful, lush grounds only add to the magic of this property. Filomena has thoughtfully curated such a special and unique stay, from the delicious, freshly prepared breakfasts to the carefully selected design of the rooms, and the gorgeous swimming pool, each space privileged to the amazing views. She was also so helpful in recommending local spots and helping us arrange transportation for our outings. The steps are a small price to pay for such a lovely experience at Orto Paradiso!

Breakfast menu and food were very good. Staff was very professional and room was very clean.

Americans beware. After staying here you may never go home! If you are looking for a local, romantic place to enjoy a view of the sea, look no further. Every detail of this place was amazing. This is one of those places I almost want to give a bad review just so no one else will go there and it can be my secret:)! However, the generous spirit of the staff is contagious and I can’t say enough. The breakfast is wonderful - made to order if you like, or fresh yogurt and homemade pastries and fruit. It’s small, so we all had a personal breakfast spot overlooking the water. The pool was clean and glimmering. The staff speaks English well and they had written directions to all of the best local places. The 150 stairs are genuine. If you have mobility issues this will be very difficult. But we are 55 and soft, and took our time up and down the stairs multiple times with no problem. It was invigorating to feel like we were in better shape when we left than when we arrived. While the desk isn’t open 24-hours, Filamena always responds quickly to WhatsApp- very helpful! I think our favorite things were the view of the sea and the warm welcome from Filamena and her team. Gianni (spelling?) ported my suitcase full of souvenirs up those stairs with a smile! She asked about our anniversary and always greeted us with patience and joy. Our room had a small terrace where we could sit outside to enjoy the evening - we heard music rise from the town and the hourly bell tower…Book it!

The staff, Filomena, Maria and Eugenio were super friendly and helpful all the time. The view is just amazing, just like the name of the B&B, a paradise. What was nice is that it is still a small hotel, which allows it to be very personal. The pool was a definite asset, the rooms were very comfortable, and included a little kitchen. Breakfast, Italien style, was plentiful with lots of home-baked goods and stunning views. Lots of lovely corners to sit and enjoy the view. The garden with lemon and olive trees was beautiful. We enjoyed walking to the Minori center for drinks and dinner.
