Concierge.com's insider take:

Built in 1904, the oldest of the Amalfi Coast's grand hotels, just outside town on the coast road, has been run by the same family for four generations. Such continuity pays off in serenity and in service that runs like clockwork; there is also a certain lived-in feel to this gracious 53-room mansion, which Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie enjoyed during the filming of Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Rooms in the main building feature patterned Vietri or white-tiled floors, early 19th-century antiques, and balconies looking over the sea toward Amalfi's yacht harbor. Thirteen other separate accommodations are set among the verdant grounds, including four "garden suites." (The most spectacular is the Chalet Giulietta e Romeo, a little honeymoon cottage perched at the edge of the cliff amid the orange groves.) Two rock-cut elevators lead down through the cliff to the rocky bathing area and saltwater pool below. There's also a spa and two restaurants, one high-up and fancy, the other beachy and casual, with a wood-fired pizza oven.

From the readers of Condé Nast Traveler:
Panoramic views of the Amalfi Coast have guests raving about this "exquisite and phenomenal beauty" built in a series of terraced citrus groves that trickle to the sea. Villa il Rosso, a recent addition, has four rooms with original antiques. The formal Santa Caterina has a large terrace for "fine Italian dining with striking water views." "Staff do everything they can."
