Address
Corso Sant'Agata, 11/13 - Sant'Agata sui Due Golfi

Boutique Hotel Don Alfonso 1890 is in the village of Sant'Agata sui Due Golfi on the Sorrentine Peninsula, just a few kilometres from the celebrated Amalfi Coast and its breathtaking scenery. Guests who arrive at Don Alfonso are those seeking a genuine gourmet holiday, because before being a charming relais, Don Alfonso is a Michelin-starred restaurant. Member of Relais & Châteaux.

A one-of-a-kind boutique hotel

Artists and intellectuals have gathered here for generations, among them the poet Salvatore Di Giacomo, drawn by the peace and beauty of the place. Every suite reflects the perfect balance between past and present: original 18th and 19th-century furnishings owned by the Iaccarino family alongside contemporary elements handcrafted by artisans of the Sorrentine Peninsula. No two rooms are alike.

The hotel's 8 rooms, across Standard, Junior Suite, Suite and Suite Superior categories, have been completely renovated, repainted and refurnished in vivid colours while remaining faithful to the classic Mediterranean style.

Pastel walls meet bold accents, Murano glass chandeliers and Vietri majolica, creating a play of colour and light that blends the sense of a place of real charm with a warm, familiar atmosphere. The Suite Superior (55 sqm), in shades of pink and fuchsia, is a perfect example: a spacious bedroom, an internal sitting room and an external one on a furnished 35 sqm terrace with sofas and armchairs. A Jacuzzi in the private bathroom completes the luxury.

A Michelin-starred dinner at Don Alfonso 1890

The culinary tradition at Don Alfonso starts with breakfast: a generous and exquisite Mediterranean organic breakfast, homemade jams, tarts and Campanian specialities, to awaken the body and mind with the finest quality produce.

A stay here calls for at least one dinner at Ristorante Don Alfonso 1890, where the chefs combine the ancient culinary traditions of the Sorrentine Peninsula and the Amalfi Coast with uniquely contemporary interpretations. The restaurant is set inside a 19th-century Neapolitan palazzo: rooms glow in the colours of the Mediterranean maquis, lilac, yellow, orange and pink, wrapping guests in the atmosphere of Southern Italy.

What makes each dish unique is the produce grown on the 7-hectare organic farm "Le Peracciole", Alfonso Iaccarino's property overlooking Capri: exceptional extra virgin olive oil, the house lemon liqueur and the vegetables that go into the restaurant's finest dishes. Farm products are also available online through the E-Shop.

The gastronomic authority of Don Alfonso extends to an exclusive cooking school for hotel guests, where the secrets of Mediterranean and in particular Campanian cuisine are passed on.

Around Boutique Hotel Don Alfonso 1890

There's no shortage of ways to relax at Don Alfonso: a swim in the outdoor pool, a book from the library or an afternoon stroll through the lemon grove. Beyond the hotel, the beaches of Nerano, Massa Lubrense and Punta Campanella are within easy reach, as are the gems of the Amalfi Coast, Positano, Amalfi and Ravello.

This hotel is EXQUISITE. There is no other word I can find to describe it. I have stayed at luxury properties in the US and elsewhere in Europe, and none of them has had the level of service and attention to detail that Don Alfonso has. Every member of the staff seemed to know me and my husband by name at all times. They delivered on every promise and every request. The amenities are comfortable and lovely, and the meals (both the included breakfast and dinner at the flagship restaurant) were excellent. If I were turning to Sorrento, I wouldn’t stay anywhere else.

The best service I’ve ever received

This is the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at in terms of service. Always available to answer questions and help out. Always with extra touches to show their care. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable. The pool is lovely. The town is small and charming (though you will spend 20 minutes each way to get to sorrento). The restaurant is exceptional. We had a couple difficult days during this portion of our trip, but the care and warmth shown by the staff here absolutely salvaged our vacation. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to be cared for in a beautiful setting.

Five Star Hotel That Makes You Feel At Home

My wife and I just returned from a three night stay at this wonderful hotel. This is a beautiful boutique hotel with just eight rooms set in a town of 4,000 residents, away from the high activity of nearby areas but close enough to access those by taxi. The garden and pool area are quiet, tranquil and wonderfully manicured. While their we also dined at their Michelin starred restaurant. If you want five star treatment while also feeling like you are visiting family this is the place for you. From the moment we arrived the care and warmth received was remarkable. They truly want you to relax and enjoy your holiday (as an example, after checking us in they suggested we relax by the pool rather than walk the town). Moreover, they want to attend to anything you might need, whether it be a drink, a dinner recommendation or a taxi. The accommodations and grounds are what you would expect from a five star resort: spacious, classy, comfortable, well appointed, and luxurious. There is no detail missed. What far exceeded our expectations was the service received from the employees and family (who spend time living at the property and seem ever present). Every single employee we encountered was a true professional who showed immense pride, enthusiasm and detail in providing hospitality and service. You will see the same faces over you stay and will grow accustomed to their warm greetings, which feel like the greetings of friends. From breakfast to the pool, to lunch and the front desk, you will grow accustomed to their smiling faces and helpful demeanor. As for the front desk, employees like Silvia and Guisy were excellent in every way. And Fortunato, an employee of Don Alfonso of almost 30 years, is the heartbeat of Don Alfonso and a gem in every way. He truly sees to it that every guest has an experience to remember. We dined at Don Alfonso on our last night and enjoyed their tasting menu. The creativity, flavors and presentation were fantastic. The sommelier picked the perfect wines to accompany our meal. The service didn't miss a beat. The meal lasted three hours! And of course, much of the family of Don Alfonso came to the table to make sure everything was to our liking. Our only regret is that we did not stay more than three nights. But, our experience was such that we left talking about when we would be back, which is the best endorsement we could give!

The essence of Mediterranean cuisine.

In a restaurant, everything revolves around the kitchen, but everything contributes to the experience: the welcome, the decor, the attention of the staff, the china, the tablecloths, the comfort of the chairs, the distance between the tables... Going to Don Alfonso 1890 means entering an authentic world; it means entering a family that has devoted itself morally and physically to their establishment. At Don Alfonso, the excellence of the welcome, the dining room, and the waltz of the very high quality of the dishes will overwhelm our minds; everything will be forever etched in our memory, and there is almost a romantic dance between the kitchen and the arrival of the dishes, which is unique in the world and flawless. I remember a couple near us (a few years ago) who tasted a dish, then with their eyes closed, I heard: how divine it is here... We have been frequenting this establishment for thirty years, and the culinary excellence is present in every dish.
