Loved staying here away from the crowd
One of the most amazing stay of our hotel stay in Italy. It is the most perfect place to be at peace with nature. OMG the view of the Amalfi coast is breathtaking from the room balcony. Walking down to Amalfi through the lemon trees was an incredible experience. Aida at the reception was amazing hostess.

Great spot lovely views. The staff are very friendly. When you get to the Piazza there are a few steps up and you go to the left. We walked down the stair way to Amalfi and the lemon experience. Get the bus back as it's not too far to walk.

Great hospitality, disappointed in hotel
Let me start this review by saying we were very excited for this visit, but was slightly disappointed. It seems like a lot of the things that were visually portrayed on their photos were not provided during our visit. They are currently under construction, which I think should be stated During booking. The front desk gentleman, frances was an absolute dream and helping us with everything we needed, which made the disappointment. Much better. When booking our hotel, it stated standard room online with balcony with a view, but we ended up with a standard room with a patio. I think that they’re online photos and explanation need to be adjusted So no one else would have this issue. The rooms were an amazing size and very large and comfortable. Breakfast was nothing special, but available. The location was absolutely only 10 minutes from the Amalfi city, but has a very long and curvy road. My children got sick once during the drive so just just be sure if you have anyone who gets carsick to be careful.

We stayed only one night, lovely view and friendly helpful service. Overall great value, tasty cappuccino and simple breakfast. Hopped in the hot tub at night. I’d recommend arriving before nightfall ( uphill narrow roads ) also there was many stairs so I’d recommend something more accessible if you’re not mobile but was not an issue for us at all.

Beautiful and Serene
This hotel was well appointed with amenities, and absolutely gorgeous. Views were stunning! The restaurant affiliated with the hotel was fantastic. Every staff member was incredibly hospitable and so kind and helpful. Lovely people! There are many stairs to get to the hotel and back to the street, as it is literally built into the mountains. Worth the walk for sure, but can be challenging for those with physical difficulty walking or climbing stairs. Definitely beautiful and serene. Nice sized balconies too for enjoying that view. The breakfast provided was typical Italian breakfast food - coffee, pastries/breads, cheeses, sliced meat, yoghurt, fruit. They also provided cereals, milk, and juice. Taxis are more expensive since Pontone (the city there) is remote. Buses come by fairly regularly, and the stop is about 10-15 minute walk from the hotel. There are stairs down the mountain to Amalfi too - about a 40 minute walk down. Google maps had the correct walking directions. Not a lot of options for dining in Pontone, as it’s a small town, but the two we tried were both excellent - Ristorante San Giovanni (past the click tower and to the right, very close!) and the restaurant on the premises (I think it was called Ristorante Antico Borgia.) Pictures show view from balcony and stairs (only a fraction of them) to Amalfi.
View from balcony daytime
View from balcony late afternoon - mountains block the sun by early evening so the sun sets quickly!
Stairs to Amalfi
Part of the stair path down to Amalfi is more of a ramp

The Palazzo is beautifully nestled into the historic core of the Pontone village, away from the buzz in Amalfi. Planting beds with lavender and herbs add to a wonderful climate on the terrace with a peaceful view over the bay. We were warned by other reviews of the few steps from the parking to the hotel itself, otherwise there were no detriments to our stay.

What a special place! High above Amalfi town, Postpone is a quiet village with breathtaking views of the surroundings. We stayed here because of a wedding in Scala. It's a not so bad 25 minute walk downhill to town, the walk up would take about an hour. The room was bright and clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was simple but well served and the staff will make you coffee as you wish. The terrace was lovely and we could have sat outside for hours sipping our coffee or wine and enjoying the view.
