Which Hotel in the Amalfi Coast

So I am going on my honeymoon to Amalfi and the choice is between:

Il San Pietro
La Sireneuse
Palazzo Sasso
Santa Catarina
La Scalinalla

Anyone actually stay at more than one of these places?

I've stayed at the Sirenuse (several times) and the San Pietro. I'd pick the Sirenuse over any of those hotels.

I stayed in Palazzo Sasso for my 10th wedding anniversary and have been to the Sirenuse although I have not stayed there.

Palazzo Sasso is in a truly beautiful location in Ravello and is a first rate hotel. However the standard rooms are pretty small and it is worth spending the additional money on a larger room/junior suite.
The common areas are beautiful and the service was excellent. I would love to go back again.

Ravello is a very romantic location and is particularly nice at night when all the daytrippers leave.

Sirenuse, located in Positano, is also a fantastic hotel with beautiful common areas.

I feel you can't go wrong with either option and I think your decision would depend on whether you wanted the busier atmosphere of Positano or the quieter Ravello. A bit of both would be ideal!

Make sure you go to Villa Cimbrone when you are in Ravello - my favourite place on earth!

Best wishes to you both.

Andrea

Great choices! I agree with Andrea's comments below regarding Palazzo Sasso, staying in Ravello and the villa Cimbrone. Ravello is perched high above Positano and has fantastic views of the sea below.

If staying in Ravello, the Villa Cimbrone is definitely to be considered--that is a gorgeous hotel!
