Hotel Girasole

Nice hotel, traditional old Italian style as described and exactly what we were expecting. Room good, older style, very clean, towels changed everyday and clean sheets which were also changed during our stay. Food, again as expected for a small hotel. Dinner menu given to us breakfast to complete, not a vast selection but what you expect for this style of small 3* hotel, all of the evening meals were good and tasty. Drinks very reasonably priced. Swimming pool in the garden was beautiful, very pretty and lovely and relaxing to come back to after our busy days out! Pool bar was good too. The hotel is family run and staff and other guests all very friendly. The road at the front is busy, so it is advisable to book a room at the back which we did, our room was quiet and overlooked the mountains. Easy to get to Sorrento, roughly 20 minutes on foot via the main road or via the back roads (much quieter!). We booked 3 Tui trips, 1) Amalfi coast 2) Pompeii & Herculaneum 3) Island of Capri, with optional boat trip which we did and was well worth it! The trips were excellent and I wouldn???t hesitate to book similar again, all very organised, we saw and learned loads, and met some nice people. We booked the trips while on holiday on the website/app and managed to find discount codes for them all taking 10% off. Sorrento is very busy so booking the trips takes away any stress of finding your own way round, timings of train, buses etc! Tui also did a FREE walking tour the day after we arrived which was excellent. We did walk to the old harbour, Marina Grande where the fishing boats are and also a public beach and few nice bars/cafes. We picked Hotel Girasole as they offered the half board option at a good price which was great to come back to after busy days out, nice little terrace outside to have an after dinner drink too!

Just home. Loved everything about this hotel! We had a garden view room at the back of the hotel. The staff were so friendly, rooms immaculate, pool gorgeous, pool side cafe perfect and evening meals delicious! It???s a 20 minute walk into town, which in the heat was tiring at the end of a busy day, and we are walkers, but if you turn right out of the hotel then immediately right, you will find a quieter, more pleasant walk into the centre. All in all we had a wonderful week in Hotel Girasole!

The hotel Girasole is a fantastic little gem of a place to stay in Sorrento. It???s a family run hotel. At first sight the hotel looks a little dated. But it is very clean and comfortable. The staff are absolutely amazing, and can???t do enough for you. The waiting staff are very attentive and go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, a special mention to Antonio. The food served is very nice. With a good choice of continental breakfast, and a choice of 3 courses for the evening meal which you choose yourself at breakfast. As mentioned, the rooms are a little dated and could do with a little refurbishment in some areas, but this is by no means a negative. In fact it adds to the charm and atmosphere of the hotel. We stayed in room 33 which was at the back of the hotel facing the garden. We had the million dollar view as you could see Vesuvius from our balcony which was very impressive. As many others have mentioned, the hotel is in a very busy and noisy road. So if you did stay here would suggest you booked a room with a garden view. The hotel has a pool area which is again very clean and well maintained. Sorrento is about ab20 minute stroll from the hotel. So easy access to all the amenities of the town. If we visited Sorrento again. We would definitely stay at this hotel again. The owners and staff are amazing and make you feel very welcome.
