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.

Went there because we had a wedding near the hotel. It was the worst experience. They have us antother room we booked, the room was horrible, dirty, and smelt. The director, Antonio, is someone really bad. He didn???t want to listen and only was thinking about his profit and he was talking really bad to the employee who were doing a really nice work. Went there once and never again.

We stayed at the start of October, what a great hotel this is, the staff are well trained and look after everyone so well, the food is very nice, and the room was super. We had a great balcony view and really enjoyed it here.
Nothing is too much trouble here - the staff really do make sure they are looking after you. We arrived after lunch our first day but the manager asked the kitchen to stay open a little longer and even offered some complimentary snacks - you just don???t get this level of service from most other hotels - excellent customer care.
The hotel is about a 5 min train ride from Sorrento centre or 45 mins into Naples. We stayed in one of more traditional rooms - a comfort room, these were very charming and exceptionally clean and well kept. The only comment i???d have is the bathrooms in these rooms may benefit from updating, the manager often chatted and mentioned there is work in the pipeline over winter so I don???t think it will be too long before they turn their attention to these.
