Hello mrhellweg-ga:
It was such a pleasure to answer your question. I am answering this
question because I have worked in the travel industry and great hotels
have been my fascination. Actually, I am addicted to great hotels.
What I have compiled here is the list of five hotels that are located
on the Amalfi coast and are rated among the best hotels in the world.
A couple of them have been rated among the top hotels in the world by
Travel & Leisure Annual Survey. A couple are rated the most
prestigious hotels by the Conde Nast Traveler. While, the remaining
one have simply been awarded too many awards to list.
Since, it will be your honey moon, I have only selected those hotels
that are not only known to be prestigious but also are world renown
for their ultimate service and quality of experience.
Be assured that you will get not only a tastefully decorated room with
a fabulous sea view in these hotels but most of them can be booked
under $500 and a few under $400. They are located in the surrounding
that is Italy of the Renaissance era with a laid back atmosphere. A
candle lit dinner in these hotels is always available and is simply
mind boggling.
I have also listed five others hotels that I think are worth a look.
They are also among the best hotels in the world. Two of them are
located directly near the ocean and all of them are romantic to the
extreme.
