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 were very lucky to have managed to take our pre-booked holiday at the Alpha hotel in late September 2020. The management worked hard to sort out a mix up with my daughter and partner???s room, our booking agent had failed to forward on the necessary paperwork, but all was sorted in a day or so.
We stayed half board and two of our parties were vegetarian, but we found that there were always vegetarian options on all of the menus. The restaurant staff were lovely, and always on hand to serve anything you wanted from the breakfast bar. Social distancing, mask wearing and highest standards of cleanliness were all in place, which meant that we felt as relaxed as possible during our stay.
Every member of staff we met were friendly, and took great pride in their hotel and the locality, most of the food served was locally sourced or grown at the hotel.
Buses ran directly from outside the hotel into Sorrento town and port, and the Circumvesuviana train station was a short 10 mins walk away in Sant Agnello town centre. We used this to access Sorrento, Naples and Pompeii during our stay, you passed a local supermarket on the way which was great for stocking up on any extra food and drink.
Relaxing by the poolside was a great experience, quiet and chilled and no problems with sunbeds/loungers. There were amazing views of the poolside areas or Mount Vesuvius from our balcony windows.
All in all a very pleasant stay, and would be happy to use as a base for touring the local area in future.
