Perched near the top of a cliff, three-pearl Hotel La Ninfa offers wide-angle views of the jagged Amalfi Coast, the majestic harbor, and quaint neighboring towns, though it's a bit far from the sites of downtown Amalfi. The nine rooms are small with streamlined decor, minibars, and flat-screen TVs, but only some have views. Features include a free breakfast and a cafe with limited room service as well as direct access to the beach, though it costs extra to rent lounge chairs and parasols. Travelers who want to stay along the Amalfi Coast may also want to consider the comparably priced Hotel Aurora, which has a panoramic view and is within walking distance of town.

The 43-room Hotel Luna Convento is an upper-middle-range property with an excellent cliffside location overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, just a five-minute walk from town. The hotel is set in a former 13th-century convent, and it's packed with historic charm. Standard Rooms are a bit spartan, while other rooms have lovely fresco ceilings and Vietri tile floors. Sea views from balconies in many rooms are stunning. Two on-site restaurants serve regional cuisine and a free breakfast, but again, it's the sea vistas that get the spotlight. The private pool on the cliffside is another plus here. The NH Collection Grand Hotel Convento di Amalfi is another historic property with incredible views, and its pool space is more substantial, but so are the rates.

The upper-middle-range Residence Hotel is an ocean-facing property located across from the popular Piazza Flavio Gioia. It's within close walking distance to the beach and several restaurants, bars, and shops -- Amalfi Cathedral is also just a minutes' walk behind the hotel. The 27 rooms are simple with classic decor, flat-screen TVs, minibars, and balconies. A buffet breakfast is included in room rates and there is an on-site restaurant open for lunch and dinner. Otherwise, features are limited as there are no pool, spa, or fitness facilities. Travelers looking for a swimming pool may want to consider Miramalfi Hotel, although it is not as central as Residence Hotel.

The upper-middle-range Hotel Aurora is a beachfront property overlooking the Amalfi harbor and within walking distance of the city center. Like many waterfront properties, the hotel has whitewashed walls and pretty tile-work in the floors giving it a regional look. The 29 rooms have quaint decor, including wrought-iron headboards and flowery floor tiles. Amenities are limited, and there's no gym or pool. Those looking for a property with more features may want to consider the Excelsior Grand Hotel instead, which has water views as well as a pool and tennis court for a higher room rate.

Views of the rugged coastline don’t get any better than those at the Excelsior Grand Hotel, which is perched high on the cliffs over Amalfi. Although the place is unquestionably dated (it hasn’t been renovated since the 1970s), its small but scenic pool area, access to a private beach, and rooms with gorgeous balcony views are major draws. The hotel's convenient shuttle service to the beach and town make it a solid choice for anyone more inclined to relax in one place than to explore on foot — walking to the town of Amalfi and beach are no small task.
