Address
Via Lazzaro, 25 - Maiori

Quintessentially Mediterranean, effortlessly elegant, Hotel Botanico San Lazzaro is one of the most exclusive 5-star properties on the Amalfi Coast, run for three generations by the Cimini family. On the hills of Maiori gazing out towards the sea, the hotel is a harmonious composition of graceful arches, shady loggias and sun-drenched terraces set in a magnificent botanical garden containing over 2,000 species of plants.

Hand-painted ceramics from Vietri, furniture custom-made by Tuscan cabinet makers, satellite television, high-speed internet connectivity, and exclusive bathroom courtesy products by Designers Guild: Hotel Botanico San Lazzaro's 21 bedrooms and suites are the result of a sophisticated combination of tradition, comfort, and technology, and all enjoy sea views. Those looking for the ultimate in Mediterranean luxury should try to book the much sought-after "Premier Special Suite", complete with panoramic terrace, Jacuzzi and in-suite gym.

Guests dining at Hotel Botanico San Lazzaro's fine-dining restaurant "Donna Clelia" enjoy delicious Neapolitan cuisine, served either in the elegant dining room or on the sweeping sea view terrace, while "La Cucina" bistrot offers a more casual option. A barbecue area on the terrace is perfect for grilled fish, and an excellent range of cocktails, drinks and light lunches are available at the Cocos Pool Bar and the Grusonii Lounge Bar.

Using the hotel's shuttle service, guests can quickly reach Maiori's Moorea Beach Club and the sea, or can book the hotel's own boat to explore coves and cobalt waters at their own pace.

The hotel also boasts an exotic garden, a natural oasis with around 2,000 plant varieties, and a Lemon Spa with a fitness area equipped with Technogym machines and a relaxation area with hydromassage and sensory shower.

Whilst I cannot comment on the accommodation here, we visited as a family of 11 (which included 2 young children) for lunch. We found the experience very disappointing and expensive. Whilst the views are stunning, the menu was fairly limited, and the service extremely slow. We were seated on a terrace with 2 large parasol umbrellas which still allowed the sun through, despite there being a covered terrace literally steps away. This proved difficult keeping the children out of the sun. We waited almost an hour just for drinks to arrive, which then the wrong bottle of wine was brought, causing a further delay whilst this was corrected. Meals were brought out very sporadically, and plates cleared whilst some were still eating. A side order was served once everyone had finished their meal! This was sent back.

We were at the restaurant. Delicious food, very friendly service/staff. And on top of that, a wonderful view over the Amalfi Coast. Good price-performance ratio.

A very friendly hotel

We thoroughly enjoyed our 6 day stay here. This is very much family run and the staff were all wonderful. It is not a big hotel so benefits from a degree of intimacy which makes it feel like home. Highlights are the views as the hotel stands proud overlooking the bay at Maiori. Although there is a lift taking guests most of the way up the very steep hill, there are still around 70 steps to the hotel. It is not for the infirm or wheel chair users. The hotel restaurant is stand out good, we enjoyed both a lunch and dinner there. You are also rewarded with fantastic views down the Amalfi coast. Our room was small and could have benefited from more storage. The bathroom was tiny and had a complicated and very small shower. However, we also had an enormous balcony with great views

Nice location, but not recommended.

We were unfortunately very disappointed with our stay at the Hotel Botanico San Lazzaro and would not recommend the hotel. The website advertises that all rooms have an ocean view. However, our first room was located all the way at the bottom by the parking lot and had no ocean view at all – instead, we looked directly at the parking lot. The room also smelled very musty and had a steep staircase inside the room, which is anything but practical and even dangerous with a toddler. Only after we complained were we able to switch to a higher-up room for an additional charge. The view from there was indeed beautiful. Nevertheless, one should know that the elevator only goes about halfway up the hotel. After that, many stairs must be navigated. For families with strollers, people with knee problems, or limited mobility, this is very strenuous. We often had to carry the stroller, and often no staff member was available to help. The location and the view are undoubtedly the hotel's biggest plus points. Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio is not right at all. Overall, the hotel has clearly aged and, in our view, does not justify the high price. The drinks are also overpriced. Overall, we had significantly higher expectations. Despite the dreamlike view, we would not recommend this hotel due to the misleading description of the rooms, the difficult accessibility, and the poor price-performance ratio.

Map

A village of fishermen and farmers, Maiori is the other side of the Amalfi Coast, discreet and charming, living on the edge of the more famous towns. Here, perched on a natural terrace overlooking the historic center, stands Hotel Botanico San Lazzaro (entrance from Via G. Capone, 27), a hotel that combines impeccable hospitality with a magnificent view over the bay of Maiori. Amalfi, Ravello, Positano, Furore, the most celebrated towns of the Amalfi Coast, are just minutes from the hotel, as are Cetara, Vietri sul Mare, Cava dei Tirreni, the city of Salerno and, a little further, the Cilento.
