"Enjoy the Coast without the Crowds"
We were in the area for work and took a couple days extra to relax and enjoy fall on the Amalfi Coast. We were so lucky to find Hotel & Resort Le Axidie, it checked all the boxes and exceeded expectations. The resort has a private beach, swimming pool, and outdoor heated pools that are just beautiful. The bar and beachside bistrot are always staffed and ready with drinks, snacks, and lunch. Rooms are spacious and spotless. The cleanliness is amazing and the fragrance everywhere makes you feel like you're in the tropics. Views are unbelievable, the Vesuvius is right in front of your eyes, towering over the sparkling blue bay of Naples. Food was excellent, the fabulous breakfast buffet complete with eggs and bacon, as well as the gourmet restaurant, both rooftop so with the ultimate vista. A shuttle is available to take guests into the town of Vico Equense. For a change of scenery there are a couple of restaurants and a cocktail bar just outside of the resort property. We highly recommend Hotel & Resort Le Axidie for your next Amalfi Coast vacation!
"Everything perfect!"
We enjoeyed our stay very much. The staff is so friendly and helpful. It is a relaxing place with an excellent service. We loved to be by the sea in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. The beach is good for swimming and the wellness area with warm waterpools are great to relax.
"wonderful stay"
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the spacy apartment close to the beach. The whole resort is well kept and beautifully situated - nice beach (rare in this region) - we are sure to come back - highly recommendable!!!
"Overpriced"
I left the resort with mixed feelings. Staff, location and food was good, but facilities was really worn down. Our bathroom had a shower head that almost didn`t stay up, shower drain was clogged and the toilet seat was broken. When I asked them to look into this they had a look, but didn't fix it. The light switch in the bathroom was also broken. We needed to press the button several times each time to make it stick. The rest of the resort could use a proper facelift in general. Compared to the price, it was not worth the money. I expected higher and cleaner quality. Easy to get to Sorrento, Pompeii and Napels by train. We also did a one-day cruise to Positano and Amalfi. That was very nice and the boat picked us up just down by the harbor from the hotel, which made it all very convenient.
"Horrendous experience, anti-tourist, horrible staff, unsafe hotel for women."
I would not recommend this hotel whatsoever. We felt unsafe and experienced horrendous customer service. We stayed in an apartment without a lock and the staff treated us so horrendously because we complained about the lock situation. A short lady with short brown hair as the front desk was specifically horrendous and very patronizing, acting like we were in the wrong for feeling unsafe in a room without a lock especially as women in a foreign country. The previous family broke the lock and they did not replace even though we were promised a locksmith and they did not bring it up again once. This is breaking EU laws. We stayed for 2 weeks in a room where we had to padlock our room from the outside and this was incredibly unsafe in the event of a fire. I have attached a picture of the substitute for a lock below that they never fixed. Also, there was 0 room cleaning service which was incredibly poor basic hygiene. We only given sheets and towels once in our 2 week stay and were refused any more. They would arrive a day later than asked for and they were left in a bag outside on a table. I have attached a picture below. The room was unclean when we arrived and they did not clean the room once. All they provided in the room was a broom. Mugs and cups were dirty and chipped, saucepans were dirty and the shower head was broken. It did not stay up when we showered, we had to hold it every shower. Also you must pay for the use of the pools and the beach. For a four star hotel none of the amenities being complimentary was shocking and it was not said on the website at all. This is an extra expense of a few hundred euros and even if we wanted to use the beach, the italian guests had booked up all the beach chair spots so we couldn't even use it. The staff offered no alternative and did not care in the slighest. We only got to use the pool because of our lock situation. Because we complained about the lock situation, which was their fault and we were made feel like it was ours, the hotel staff treated us with such disdain. We would get glared at and scowled at, made feel as unwelcome as possible. When we went to the pool we would get seated at the back in seats beside the bushes when the majority of the seats at the pool were empty. They would argue with us about giving us towels INCLUDED in the price we had to pay to use the pool. We would not be allowed more than 1 umbrella, when most were unused and there was a group of us. It was such a horrendous experience and the staff were so unfriendly. They do not welcome anyone who is not Italian. We had no lock the entire time and we spent as much time as we could away from the hotel as they made us feel as uncomfortable and awful as possible. They lied about a locksmith fixing the door and we were so intimidated to keep asking for one. Not worth a cent we paid for.
"EXCELLENT Stay"
This hotel is absoutely fantastic. It is off the beaten path, but is everything I had wanted and more. It is quiet and serene. If you are looking for the hustle and bustle and business of a tourist hotel, this is not the resort for you. It is about 20 minutes from Sorrento and 45 mintes from Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvius. I will defintiely stay here again.
"Short stay"
We had 4 nights booked, the first day was amazing the pool was peaceful, clean, plenty of sun loungers, the view was amazing, unfortunately we didn't get down to the beach the weather had a turn for the worse. If the weather was better we would have a better experience of the hotel, the hotel it's self was lovely, reception staff were lovely, always smiling. Hopefully we're come back soon and get better weather. But we had a great trip.
"Had a great holiday"
We stayed for 5 days. Enjoyed our stay. Perfect place for travaling around the Amalfi Coast ... to summ up our impressions about Le Axidie: nice room, good breakfast, helpful staff, lovely pool(s), perfect beach. We definitely recommend ...
"Fabulous stay in a great part of Italy"
The hotel is located in a fantastic location for day trips to other parts of Italy and overlooking one of the best views. It is in a peaceful location, not too hectic. We walked up to Vico Equense each night and ate some fantastic food at Titos Restaurant (highly recommend). However, if you don't want to walk up, the hotel provides a free shuttle service. The Wellness Spa was a real highlight and the beach was lovely. We had a superb stay.
"Great location"
The hotel is not in a touristic area and that worked for us because got to enjoy the quietness and were able to relax and connect with the Italian culture. Staff was amazing! Food was good with the exception that the special events did not have vegan meals included. We are defiantly coming back.
"Very nice stay!"
It was a very nice stay in the le axidie Hotel! Perfect to have an enjoyable holiday at the Beach and to explore capri and the amalfi coast. Especially the beds and the breakfast were very good. Grazie!
"Best place to stay when visiting Amalfi and Capri!"
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Le Axidie. We were not sure if we should stay in Positano or Amalfi, but because we had a car, we decided to stay in Vico Equense, then take ferries or buses around the area. This ended up being a great decision. The hotel itself was excellent! The staff were very friendly and helpful. They recommended the best ways to see Amalfi/Positano and Capri. We ended up taking the ferry from the dock in front of the hotel to Positano and Amalfi. It was a full-day affair, the boat ride was long, and the time in each town was short, but we enjoyed it very much. We then hired a private gozzo (small boat) to go to Capri. It was also a full-day, but our entire family loved this tour. The captain took us around the entire island (we didn't go into the blue grotto due to the long wait), and we saw several other grottoes. We were also able to swim off the boat as much as we wanted, and we spent a little time in the smaller port town (Marina Piccola). The boat ride from Vico Equense was slow and long, but it was a much more relaxed day. The hotel's beach was awesome and the water was great! There is a great view of Mt. Vesuvius from the hotel, and it was amazing to swim and eat with the volcano in the background! The kid's pool was full of kids and not as inviting as the sea. The hotel restaurant was on the roof deck, which offered great views of Vesuvius. We ate one dinner and all of our breakfasts there. The food was delicious and the wait staff were very accommodating and friendly. The hotel also has free parking! And there are several good restaurants within a short walk of the hotel. We even found great gelato in one of the local restaurants. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time in Vico Equense and the Hotel Le Axidie.
"Italy getaway with my son"
The hotel and staff where exceptional , the location was great as we were an hour away from Nepals via Train, Via Ferry we saw Sorrento, Positano, and the Amalfi coast in a day . We booked a private boat to Capri via the local excursion company. the local town has lovely restaurants and the hotel provide free shuttles to the train station and town , lovely resturants recommended by the hotel. Anna at reception was just a delight in everyday and had gone above and beyond to plan our trips and restaurants for my son and I . The hotel pools , private beach and spa was lovely . we had the best time in Italy . thank you .
"Pleasant but isolated 4 night stay (July 2022)"
The hotel and facilities are good with a great beach front location but the surrounding port area - while pretty - is small with limited restaurants/things to do. The main town (and train station) of Vico Equense is NOT within walking distance although there is a hotel shuttle and public bus available right outside. We relied on public transport while here and felt it was a chore to leave the area due to timetables and non-air conditioned trains. We did travel to Pompeii and Sorrento (numerous times) while here. Staff were excellent throughout and the hotel/rooms etc were very clean. Noise seemed to travel easily from the surrounding rooms (crying children/footsteps/plugging appliances in and out) which was frustrating through the night.
"Under rated gem in Vico Equense"
We found Le Axidie on Expedia on Expedia and let me tell you the pictures don't do justice it is more beautiful than you see online. The staff was very friendly, Anna at the front desk made excellent suggestions as this was our first trip to Naples region / Amalfi coast. Other than hardly any vegan options all around smaller towns like Vico Equense, our trip that included a daily boat trip to Positano and Amalfi and day trip to Pompei (guided tour is highly recommended) was magnificent. We would revisit and do this all over again anytime.
"Relaxing vacation at Hotel Le Axidie"
We had an amazing experience at Hotel Le Axidie. Great location with beautiful views, courteous and knowledgeable staff (special thanks to Anna and Daniel), and awesome resort. We enjoyed breakfast and dinner. Each family member found something to do and have fun: the beach, the pool, the spa, and the tennis court… I am definitely recommending Le Axidie to my friends.
"Great stay"
I recomand this hotel. It has everything you need for a great vacation. Great location, good beach, great breakfast, free shuttle bus to city centre, sunbeds and umbrellas for the beach were included in the price
"Good location"
There were some exceptionally good things about this hotel/apartment, and some that were a bit annoying. The kitchen was a bit underequipped, but the rest of the apartment was good. The wardrobe only had 5 hangers, this was not enough for the 2 of us, but the apartment actually slept 4 people, so that would have been even worse. The location was perfect, walk to the ferry boat, or a short trip to the local railway station and you can easily reach Sorrento one way, Naples the other, via Pompeii Vesuvius and Herculaneum. The trains are regular and good value. The only slight problem was the courtesy minibus to the station was sometimes full and we could not get on it, if you have planned a trip this means you either have to delay waiting for the next minibus, or take a taxi. The view from the hotel over the bay of Naples and Vesuvius was amazing, very beautiful.
"Highly recommended"
We really enjoyed our stay. A very kind and helpful staff. We had issues to pre-pay a visit to the Vesuvius. Daniele could book the visit for us. When we arrived in Vesuvius booking office, tickets were ready. Clean rooms, good breakfast. Big terrace with nice sea view. We really can recommend this hotel.
"Great location & Experience"
Loved the hotel facilities and the Vico Equense location, ideal for sea boat trips and a relaxed location, with dining experiences within Vico Equense resort varying from burger/pizza to 2 michelin star food.
"Gem on the Bay of Naples-Sorrento coastline"
This Awesome little hotel is perfect for a relaxing vacation for couples, family and friends. We loved its quiet location on the beach with a pool and spa. We took advantage of all of it. The from the front deck staff to the Wait staff- they all had impeccable service and gracious demeanors, the food was AMAZING and the outdoor dining area, right above the water's edge was lovely as the sun set. The chef sent many special appetizer and dessert dishes to our table without prompting. At sun set we would have drinks on the upper terrace overlooking the whole property with amazing sunset view. Breakfast was extensive with a view from the roof top dining room (something for every one) from yogurt and granola to pastries, fruit, cold cuts , veggies , cheese and eggs. juice and wonderful espresso drinks all including in the price of the room. The Spa and adjacent pools were a delight, clean, quiet and inviting. We even had a terrace pool at the top of the spa complex all to ourselves one day! I can't say enough about the front deck folks. Daniela and Guilia, who helped us navigate tours, taxis, shuttles and trains to make it to our many destinations on time . The whole experience was delightful. I am so glad we booked with Le Axide Resort!
"A good trip walking on the surrient coast"
Very comfortable! Very attractive people and the place pops off. It's very reccomended for anyone. There is all in a few space: beach, swimming pool, parking, wellness and seesighting by cruising. That's very interesting.
"Great location awesome view!"
Welcoming staff and awesome front desk Romantic location with great view and excellent location. Food and breakfast are great the only part is lacking are entertainment. Nothing is going at night even a music....very quiet place!
"Most serene resort ever!!!"
I personally thought this resort was amazing! It was in the most beautiful location I have ever seen and I have traveled all over the world. The beach was amazing, there was plenty of chairs. The Wi-Fi worked great and the staff was very friendly and helpful. They set up taxi service and other things for me and my wife. I thought the rooms were nicely decorated with beautiful tiles. And when you walk around the resort all you can hear is birds chirping and beautiful flowers. It was very very nice! There is also several restaurants on the property that are good but there is also a few others very short walking distance down the bay. Before I bought this property I saw some bad reviews on other platforms, I almost did not book it because of it and it would've been the worst decision ever. I honestly do not know how someone could leave this place a bad review. But unfortunately on all platforms you just have miserable people, because this place was absolutely amazing!
"A hidden gem"
Fab hotel off the beaten track. If you want to chill then this is the place. Wonderful restaurant, carmine and his crew will spoil you. The wellness centre and the views are just amazing. We will return.
"A little piece of heaven"
We booked this very last minute with no research. Well what an amazing find. A magical space tucked away in Amalfi coast. Everything you could wish for for a few relaxing days. The staff are amazing and big shout out to Carmine and his crew, Maria, Giosy and Tiziana. They truly spoiled us in the 5* restaurant The views are special no matter where you look. The wellness centre is a must. We will be back to this piece of heaven. A very lucky find.
"A+"
We found a great deal at Le Axidie on the Sorrento coast (Vico Equense) during our trip around Naples. Best location, amazing view on the Vesuvio, warm and friendly staff and great amenities. A+ to the wellness area which is a perfect spot if you wanna relax and switch off. The lady at the desk welcomed us with a big smile and gave us recommendations on the surrounding area.
"Excellent stay at Hotel le Axidie"
We had a wunderful stay. We used the tennis court every day. Excellent breakfast and pool bar. Magnificant views. The staff is super friendly and helped a lot with excursions possibiliuties in the area. Really top staff. In the same street a wunderful restaurant called Mustafa with all the Italian food you want allthough no pizza's. Perfect wines as well.
"Wellness with a magnificient view"
A beautiful hotel, right on the beach, facing the blue Mediterranean sea and the world famous Vesuvio. We had an excellent ocean front room with a terrace. Breakfast in the roof-top restaurant, overlooking the sea across the Vesuvio, is breathtaking - with fresh fruit, cakes and pastries, antipasti and the best Italian coffees to be enjoyed every morning. The wellness center has a variety of cooler and warmer pools, a large jacuzzy, Kneipp-style wading pools and a smaller pool with a sauna, enclosed by a beautiful garden. The views, here again, are magnificient. There is a large salt-water pool by the beach. A nuumber of good restaurants (suitable for every taste and budget, including a sushi- and a Michelin-star-place) and lovely bars are in walking distance, as is Vico Equense by a ancient but really steep "stairway" going uphill. If you prefer to take the free hotel shuttle to Vico, you still should take the stairs back down again. Must-do's: Dinner at Mustafa, drive along the Amalfi coast, Sushi at Murrano Mare!
"Relax and luxury"
I had a great time, very helpful and kind staf. All facilities are really great It has the perfect location to visit other places nearby. The hotel is in the middle, so if you want to go to Positano, Sorrento, Pompei etc you don't spend more then 30 min to drive to the locations. The beach and pool and all other facilities are at your service great hotel !!
"Hidden gem!"
The staff were amazing, super friendly and helpful. Loved the location and charm of the hotel. Breakfast was great. The beach was well organised and clean. The wellness centre was fantastic and the pools were amazing. Our stay was exceptional! Thank you!
"No care for Coronavirus, overpriced, overcrowded - would not recommend "
My family picked this resort because it is known locally for being nice and of high standard. We have been left highly disappointed. I don't even know where to start. I would say that the hotel is definitely not worth the price. The look and how it is kept is not of 4 stars standard. The paint is coming off on the outside of the building and the whole place looks like it's frozen in time... From the 60s. The breakfast "buffet" (if you can call it that way) is very small and charged at an additional price of £12 per person (on top of the already extortionate fee for the room). In addition, they don't cater for allergies at all. I have a dairy allergy and my mum can't eat gluten and, in spite of us complaining to the reception several times about this, there is nothing to eat that does not contain milk or gluten. The most shocking thing of it all is the complete lack of care for social distancing and cleanliness. We had ants on our balcony constantly. The beach and the bistro are both completely packed with people without any attempt at keeping a safe distance. Access to the beach and other facilities is open to the public, even if you are not staying here, which means that it gets to such a crowded point that you can't even get into the water from the beach as there are too many people. Same story at the bistro. No distance between the tables and no attempt at controlling the number of people that can get it at any one time. It appears as if their motto is "the more the better". I also witnessed one of the waiter reuse one of the paper bags they use to bring bread to the table. It was one he took from my table, that I had touched and eaten part of the bread. He had the audacity to take it, add some more bread to what was already in there, and give it to another table. The staff make no attempt to wash their hands or wear face masks properly. Reception staff often just have their face masks around their necks or other staff wear it with their nose out, which is completely pointless. There are signs to wear a face mask indoor for hotel guests but no one enforces this so no one wears a mask. Have not felt safe at all and will never come back. I don't recommend paying this much for what you get.
"Zeezicht"
We were traveling througt Italy and our last destination was this hotel. A few days to relax. We booked a room with seaview. When we came in the room there was only a view on a blind wall. After a meeting with the reception we get a new room. (47) This one was much better. There are a lot of nice swimming pools and other things to relax. The only problem wad that our bathroom smells like a sewer.
