Reviews of Holidays Fico d'India / Prickly Pear

10 March 2010 Sarah would recommend this property

Liked: Pino, the owner/manager, is one of the most helpful staff members we have encountered in our 6 months of travelling. If you need anything at all, phone him or ask him and he is at your service. View from room is amazing. Breakfast is delicious. Rooms are comfy and clean. Location is 20 mins bus ride from Amalfi, just need to get a timetable, stop is at top of driveway so easy to find. You won't regret staying here, in fact, you will love it!

Liked: The place was awesome and the staff is incredible and do whatever they can to make you the most comfortable. The location is a bit out of the way and the last bus from Amalfi leaves at 8:50 at night which is a tad inconvenient. If you are just wanting to see the towns during the day and enjoy the b and b in the evening, it is perfect!!

17 October 2009 Brett would recommend this property

Liked: Great place to get away from it all, amazing views and friendly helpful staff and a great breakfast!If you're catching the bus (which we did) the directions could use some help. On the bus ride you will see 4 (I think) flags on the right hand side of the road, push the bus stop button and get off (100m up the road it will stop) and walk back down to the 4 flags and its down that road.

27 April 2009 Jason would recommend this property

Liked: Pino and the team run a truly welcoming bed and breakfast. I was probably a bit of a pushover though - upon arrival and while checking in Pino offers a shot of espresso, after my long drive and draining day a quality coffee was exactly what I felt like. From there it only gets better.

18 April 2009 Paul would recommend this property

Liked: Fico D'India is off the scale; without a doubt the best B&B on the planet. Pino, Mario and his family are fantastic in every sense! You cannot fault this place. Breakfast is to die for and if you can manage, stay in for dinner because you will not find a better menu for such reasonable prices. Great rooms, with amazing views of the coast with everything you will need and more. Thank you Pino for making our trip so unforgettable!

15 April 2009 Paul would recommend this property

Liked: Anybody thinking about starting a bed and breakfast should spend a week at Fico d’India for training, under the influence of a truly masterful host. Pino is as good as they get, and for the price, so is his facility. He smoothly combines warmth and professionalism and pays attention to the details. We are not coffee drinkers but we enjoy cioccolata calda. We mentioned this to him on the first day and ever-after it was prepared for us with breakfast. It was a small gesture, but many small examples of his warmth and attentiveness combine to create a thoroughly enjoyable experience.And speaking of breakfast, the pastries are a step above the dry standard Italian fare because the fillings provide some substance and flavor. The rooms are clean, warm, adequately spacious, and the showers unlike any I have seen. The facility is located on a beautiful hillside overlooking the water and numerous farms located on the steep slopes. It is a winding 5-kilometer drive to the coastal highway. Having a car will give you more freedom to explore the coast on your own schedule, but the blue SITA bus does go by Fico d’India if you are using public transportation. Grazie mille to Pino, Mario and the rest of the family.

12 October 2008 Mark would recommend this property

Liked: This is the nicest place ever. It is like a small hotel it is not a hostel. They could charge so much more beacase it is the most relaxing and beautiful place to stay. The rooms are massive and have an amazing view of the coast. Pino the owner goes above and beyond his job...he is amazing and will do anything. He was constantly busy serving food, driving people places, checking people in and making itinaries for people during their stay here. We traveled for four months and thi was the best place to stay. Almalfi Coast is beaufiul on its own but staying her makes the whole trip worth while. The food in the resturant is inexpensive (compared to eating out in Almalfi) and deliciously fresh. Breakfast every morning is free and sooo filling (two pastires, toast, orange julce, cappuchino, jams). I can honestly not say enough good things about this place...I will definately be back.

01 October 2008 Rob would recommend this property

Liked: The owners of the hostel were very accommodating and friendly. It was like staying with family or great friends - it was a joy. The location and views were fantastic and the breakfast and evening dinner were superb. The value for money was second to none. The rooms were pleasant and very spacious and the rest of the property was fabulous. The balcony overlooking the sea was a real plus too. We want to go back and stay there already!
