Hostel Residenza Del Duca

Rating by guests: There are no reviews for this hotel.

This small hotel is located in an ancient noble palace from the 17th century with panoramic views over the sea and the oldest Amalfi square, Piazza dei Dogi. Built on top of a medieval building, the hotel has been carefully restored, keeping the typical 17th century architecture, including the chestnut wood beamed ceiling and cloister, and the vaulted ceiling. The first 2 floors of the palace still show some traces of the original ancient medieval features, whilst the upper floors display Renaissance architecture. Some of the 7 rooms benefit from a balcony or terrace where you can enjoy unique views over the historic town centre, the sea and the Piazza dei Dogi, named in honour of the dukes that ruled the Marine Republic from 957 to 1131. All the rooms have been tiled with majolica from Vietri, whose original drawings have been studied and reproduced by a local pottery painter. The rooms are tastefully decorated and furnished with pieces that match the ancient style of the place. Each room carries the name of some of the most important Dukes of the Marine Republic. The 17th century chestnut wood beaming ceiling and 18th century cloister and vaulted ceiling have been revived thanks to restoration work. All feature air conditioning, minibar, safety deposit box, direct-dial phone and satellite TV. Some rooms benefit from a terrace or French balcony. The moder en suite bathrooms offer a jacuzzi-shower, hairdryer and courtesy-set.
