Words cannot describe how much we enjoyed our stay at Hotel Cetus. The hotel is stunning with gorgeous views of the Amalfi Coast- it was breathtaking. The room was comfortable and clean. Every meal we had, breakfast especially, was delicious. Every staff member was so kind, extremely professional and always exceptional service. Cetara is a perfect seaside town with none of the crowds of other large towns along the coast. The food was delicious and people were so kind. I already cannot wait to go back!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Very isolated and not convenient to the towns. Transportation was poor.
The hotel was wonderful. Sea views and private beach were amazing. The breakfast each day were excellent and staff very accommodating and polite. The only caution is the lack of shuttle throughout the day to Cetera for lunch/dinner or ferry access. Paid drivers at $3 per person added up for a multi-day stay.
We stayed at Hotel Cetus for our honeymoon and it was magical! The people, the food, the view could not have been better! The most romantic experience ever!
This was a phenomenal stay. You can walk to the town of Cetara to eat, or hop on the ferry to anywhere else in Amalfi. There is a beautiful private beach and the staff was extremely accommodating. It’s close to everything but without the business of the city. Highly recommend.
This property was beautiful! Room was clean with a gorgeous balcony overlooking the water. Staff were very nice mostly, but not overly friendly. Possibly just a cultural difference.
Beautiful property! The staff were friendly and helpful with inquiries. The breakfast was plentiful with a good selection of hot food, meat and cheese, pastries, bread and rolls. Delicious! Great central location to see Amalfi coast! The view from the room was amazing! I would definitely stay again!
This hotel was an incredible find on the Amalfi coast. Far away from the usual tourist areas yet close enough to an authentic Italian village. The hotel was in an incredible location on the side of a mountain overlooking the sea. The staff was friendly and helpful. The whole hotel restaurant was incredible. Highly recommended.
Such a lovely view from our room hearing the waves and seagulls. Just gorgeous and peaceful. Free parking was a huge plus and we enjoyed the beach and the hot tub. I would stay here again
The views from the rooms and restaurant were outstanding! Convenient access to the beach via elevator. Only thing the needed were umbrellas on the beach since the sun was so intense. Overall a great experience.
Amazing views - rooms are right over the water. Great amenities (we used the beach & jacuzzi in October). Very clean and friendly staff. We would stay there again
Hotel Cetus was very nice. Room with water view was spacious. The flushing mechanism was a bit wonky, and the floor got a bit dirty.
Otherwise, it was comfortable and the service was excellent.
Resturant staff was very good and the barman Danielo was fantastic. He was helpful and generous and a delight!
Resturant dinner was excellent; each fish perfectly prepared. The deserts were a step above. Best, most creative tiramisu I’ve ever eaten!
