About the location
Holidays in Sorrento bring you the delights of small-town coastal Italy in close proximity to the bustling city of
Naples. Breathing in the lemon scented air in the cliff top surroundings of the town, you can gaze across the Bay of Naples to the city with Mount Vesuvius in the background. Couples can enjoy the small town feel of Sorrento, while getting lost in the backstreets, and trying out local specialities including pizza and limoncello in street side restaurants and cafés. Families can enjoy the beaches, ferry rides to Naples and explore the nearby Amalfi Coast. The more adventurous can hike up to the summit of Vesuvius or spend time in vibrant Naples.
Sorrento is a heady mix of tourist friendly resort and a still traditional Italian coastal town. It has all the amenities you could wish for, as well as catering for families, couples and the more adventurous. It retains its artisanal crafts, and is filled with small shops specialising in ceramics, limoncello and leather goods. The aromas of fresh pasta, pizza, lemons and tomatoes permeate the air as you stroll around the quaint streets filled with restaurants and cafés.

We stayed here for our honeymoon and absolutely loved it, it was close to a train station (5 minutes walk) and very close to some lovely restaurants. The facilities were very good. There was a very wide selection of food at breakfast, the staff were superb and very friendly throughout. Although close to a main road but that was easy to ignore thanks to the music by the pool, there was lots of comfortable seating throughout the garden. The room was very reasonably priced, very clean.
The only downside is we had a number of issues with the shower, it kept leaking and the toilet seat kept coming lose. The staff were very helpful and always sent someone relatively quickly to fix it, but sadly it did break again. A minor nuisance but something which they???ve hopefully fixed because there was so many other positives.

We stayed for two weeks in Sept and would highly recommend Alpha Hotel. It???s a small but well run hotel, in a great location. It???s set just off the main road of the gorgeous town of Sain??? Agnelllo. You do not want to stay in the centre of the town due to traffic pollution at peak times. Our room was in the converted villa behind the main hotel which was decorated to a high standard, clean and peaceful. (Some call it rustic so must not be to everyone???s taste). The staff are incredible and are the best asset of the hotel. Breakfast is a Buffett with typical Italian breads, meats and cheeses. Evening meal is waiter served. The menu offers good choice from three different options for starter, main and desert each evening. The pool area is small but more than sufficient. There is limited evening entertainment but this is the case across the whole region. Alpha is perfectly located to explore, walk to Sorrento, or discover your own little idle, from beach side taverna to cliff top restaurants. All in all an amazing holiday. ?????? 🇮🇹 🍷😎👍

Well... It has taken me a while to write this review. Simply to find the right words to describe my trip to hotel alpha and Sorrento. From Luigi at front desk to the amazing Danielle on the bar. Corrinda's fabulous cookery school to the Michelin level service given by the one and only Salvatore. A trip I will never forget and we will do our best to be back with you next year.
