🧭 How to reach Hotel Splendid

Hotel Sole Splendid is located in Via Gaetano Capone, in a very central position in Maiori, and is waiting for you to enjoy an unforgettable experience. Reaching it is very easy, whether you decide to travel by public transport or by car.

By train or bus:

✅​ From Naples airport, take the ALIBUS to the central station and from there a train or bus to Salerno.

​ If you instead land at Salerno airport, you have several transport options to reach the city: the Salerno Airlink service offers a direct and fast connection to the railway station.

Alternatively, you can use the taxi service, with predetermined fares, for a more personalised transfer. In Salerno, many SITA buses will take you directly to Maiori.

It is a relaxing journey, during which you will already savour the atmosphere of the Amalfi Coast. To purchase tickets, we recommend downloading the Unico app. Alternatively, you can also find them on sale at the station newsstand, just outside the station. Buses to Amalfi run approximately every hour.

✅​ By ferry:
If you prefer a more suggestive experience, you can choose the ferry from Salerno (Molo Concordia, a 10-minute walk from the station). This option is available at certain times of the year (generally from spring to autumn).

Travelling by ferry makes the journey to your hotel even more enjoyable, as travelling by sea gives you the chance to admire the beauty of the coast from a different perspective on your way to Maiori. Connections are frequent, about every hour.

✅​ By car:
If travelling by car, follow the signs to Maiori. From the A1 motorway, take the exit for the Amalfi Coast and let the road guide you. Please note that the hotel has a private pay car park.

🗺️ Things to see on your doorstep

If you stay at this establishment you are in a very central location. Ideally you have everything at your fingertips. However, in the immediate surroundings you have:

📍The beach of Maiori

Hotel Sole Splendid is located not far from the central beach of Maiori. Here you can relax, sunbathe and swim, enjoying some healthy, spontaneous Amalfi Coast lifestyle.

The beach is almost entirely equipped with chairs and umbrellas and served by numerous bathing establishments, which also offer restaurant services. So, if you decide to spend the whole day on the beach, you have the peace of mind of having everything you need at your fingertips.

📍Acquachiara beach

You are less than a ten-minute walk from Salicerchie beach (known as ‘Acquachiara’), said by locals to be one of the most beautiful beaches on the Amalfi Coast.
You reach it easily, proceeding along the SS 163: it is located a few metres after the imposing Torre Normanna.

Once you have crossed the 160 steps that divide it from the road, you will find yourself in a small strip of beach: a secluded corner, if you reach it early in the morning.
As we have already mentioned, it is considered one of the most beautiful and evocative beaches, precisely because of its clear, clean waters. For this reason, we recommend that you reach it early, as it may be crowded during the central hours.

You are also very close to:
📍 Corso Reginna, where you will find shops, bars and services, and the Gardens of Palazzo Mezzapaco
📍 Minori, which is about 1 km away and which you can also reach on foot
📍 The Path of the Lemons
📍 the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria a Mare, with its majolica dome
📍 Santa Maria de Olearia

🎉 Things to do nearby

Since you are conveniently located, you can easily move from here to take part in activities or events of interest to you.

For example, if your stay lasts more than 5 days, you could dedicate a day to exploring the island of Capri: in this case, the local company provides a service that allows you to go there and back in a day.
You can find out more by reading our article dedicated to organising a day trip to Capri!

Alternatively, you can set out to discover the splendid city of Salerno: an out-of-town excursion is highly recommended, especially if you are travelling during the Christmas period, when the city is filled with the charm of its Luci D'Artista.

You can also easily travel to the other destinations on the Amalfi Coast: Positano, Amalfi, Ravello, Praiano.
We advise you not to miss the less touristy destinations: for example, Tramonti, Agerola, and Scala will amaze you with their tranquillity, greener landscapes, and rural traditions.

🗓️​ Events not to be missed

In Maiori, as in the entire Amalfi Coast, every season is an occasion to celebrate!

✅ Ferragosto, for example, is a magical moment, dedicated to Maiori's Patron Saint: for the event, the promenade is transformed into an open-air stage, where the anticipation for the spectacular firework display is palpable. It is an explosion of colour and joy that involves the whole community, an unforgettable experience!

✅ But Maiori is not only Ferragosto. If you travel during Carnival, you will find the Gran Carnevale Maiorese waiting for you: a parade of colourful allegorical floats and overwhelming masks that will invade the streets, involving young and old in a contagious party atmosphere.

✅ And during the summer? The Porto Turistico of Maiori becomes the beating heart of cultural and musical events. Just a few steps from your accommodation, you can discover a rich programme of events, live and in the open air.

Whether you are passionate about music, art, or simply want to spend a different evening, you are sure to find something for you. Imagine yourself sipping a cocktail while admiring the sunset, listening to the notes of a concert or attending an art exhibition.

📌 Not to be missed if you are staying here

Since you've read this far, you deserve to know some true Amalfi Coast insider goodies!

✅ Taste the Sospiro al limone from Pasticceria Trieste
A soft sponge cake, filled with lemon cream, embellished with lemon-scented icing: a dessert to which the historic pastry shop Trieste has given a name that, in its brevity, expresses its essence and goodness: ‘Sospiro al Limone’ (Lemon Sigh).

We absolutely recommend you try it.
Where can you find the pastry shop? In Corso Reginna, just a few steps away.

✅ At Ferragosto, a taste of aubergine with chocolate
Tradition, in these parts, is sacred. So, in the run-up to Ferragosto, many Maioresi prepare to fry kilos of aubergines.
The aim? To prepare the traditional dessert of Ferragosto Maiorese: aubergines with chocolate.

We know that saying it like that sounds a bit strange, but we are sure you will take the advice and go ahead and taste it! Although the combination of a vegetable with chocolate may seem unusual, we guarantee the deliciousness of this dessert!
