Hotel Club Due Torri

Hotel Club Due Torri is housed in a white eight-story structure built directly on the side of a cliff just outside Maiori. The entrance is just off a steep, winding road running parallel to the coast, and an area that’s a little wider serves as the hotel’s parking lot and drop-off area. The lobby is airy but basic, with terra-cotta tiles, white walls, and a couple of period-style couches with classic blue and white upholstery. A few hand-painted tiles, and a narrow table with two fluted pillars as legs lend the space some local charm. The rest of the common areas are located on the upper floors, and all offer stunning view of the Amalfi Coast. The hotel is especially popular with couples, but its spacious rooms cater to families as well. 

The hotel is perched on a cliffside directly off the main road running parallel to the coast. It’s a five-minute walk to central Maiori and its many restaurants, shops, cafes and bars, and the town’s main beach -- a long sandy stretch full of loungers and umbrellas -- can be reached in three to five minutes as well. However, there is no sidewalk on the road, and some guests may find it dangerous. A SITA bus stop can be found a little down the road, which makes this a good base to explore the rest of the region. Famous Amalfi town can be reached in about 15 minutes by car, and Positano and Pompei are just under an hour away. The nearest major airport is in Naples, located a 70-minute drive away.

All 60 rooms at Due Torri are clean and spacious, and have stunning panoramic views of the sea and the Amalfi Coast. Decor, however, is simple and somewhat dated throughout, featuring basic wood or wicker furniture, tile floors, thin bedspreads, and mostly bare walls. Details such as arched doorways, blue ceilings, and painted tiles are cute, but rooms are no-frills overall -- in terms of amenities as well as style. All units have free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, safes, a wide array of toiletries, and mini-fridges with water and juice, but only higher-priced units have electric kettles. Additionally, most have flat-screen TVs, but a few rooms still have old tube TVs. Bathrooms are also clean but basic, with blue, white or orange tiles, bidets, and showers. A few have jetted tubs and heated towel racks. Most rooms have furnished terraces or balconies, but chipped paint and concrete walls make them feel drab.

The hotel’s restaurant serves regional and international cuisine in an airy dining room with a large terrace offering stunning sea views. A nice continental breakfast is offered here every morning at no extra charge, including coffee, yogurt, cereal, fresh fruit, pastries, breads, jams, bacon, and eggs. Additionally, there are two bars on-site, including one with a deck and expansive bay views. The hotel has a number of loungers and umbrellas for guests at the beach, but there is an extra charge for using them. On-site parking is also available for a fee, and Wi-Fi is offered free throughout the property.
