Best Western Hotel La Conchiglia

- Location is perfect, in the middle of Palinuro and its small city centre - Many restaurants next door - Rooms are clean - Just the Wifi did not work in the rooms (1* minus) - Very big balcony with amazing view - Breakfast selection not too good. Guess because we went there in low season and there only 6-8 other guests. So it is OK - one small beach just down the street less

We spend 6 nights at this very attractive hotel in the pretty coastal town of Palinuro and were delighted with our experience there. The seaview room we chose was well worth the price of the upgrade, with a magnificent balcony overlooking a stunning coastal view. The room itself was not large, but was well-equipped and impeccably clean, with a good- sized bathroom. We ate both breakfast and dinner at the hotel, as we were part of a large walking group. All meals were very good and the service from Sandra, Giorgio and Emmanuele was professional and friendly. Almost everyone in the hotel seemed to speak good English, but they were happy to let you practise your Italian if you wanted to do so. There is a beautiful terrace area to have drinks and our group enjoyed many of Giorgio's cocktails as we relaxed from a day of hiking in the lovely countryside. This is a truly spectacular part of Italy and this hotel is a great base from which to explore it. Highly recommended! less

Family run hotel with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Lovely room with a panoramic sea view. Gorgeous restaurant and bar. Wrapped up warm and ate breakfast on the outside terrace every morning. Palinuro is fantastic base to explore this stunningly beautiful area. We will be back and would love to stay in La Conchiglia again. less

We stayed two nights here in February. As it was off season the hotel was very quiet. It was easy to find and parking available right beside the hotel. Room was small, but clean and bathroom adequate. We had booked a street side room but on arrival paid to upgrade to the Sea side of the hotel.Amazing views of a beautiful coastline. Lovely big deck with comfortable chairs and table. We did not eat at the hotel but really enjoyed the restaurant that was recommended by the hotel. Wifi was not the greatest. Breakfast was good. Above all you could tell that this was a family run hotel and felt very welcoming and homey. The restaurant on the bottom floor was undergoing some renovations however it was a beautiful setting with indoor and outside dining on the terrace overlooking the wonderful little town of Palinuro and the beautiful sea. Would love to return during the summer as I'm sure it would be very different. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone travelling between the Amalfi Coast and Sicily. less

Traveled to Paliuno for work (with 15 co-workers/clients) and was delighted to find this gem of a hotel (especially in the off-season of January). This is NOT the typical American Best Western! The hotel is quaint, but what it may lack in luxury is made up for in food, service and a view! Marco and his staff could not have been more accommodating! Marco was up early and late to assist my team and I. He and the staff worked around our demanding work schedule, including 5am espressos, late lunches and 1am bottles of wine. No matter the hour, they managed to stay polite and kind. We ate several lunches and dinners there and the food was absolutely amazing, fresh and homemade. They served local red and white wine, equally outstanding! The dinning area and patio overlook the sea and I was lucky enough to have a ocean view room. My room was simple, but very clean. The bed linens and towels are what you would expect to find in an American Best Western, but with the food, service and price point, certainly made me feel like I found something special! less
