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.

A lovely hotel, I'd read the reviews about it being on a busy noisy road so was a bit worried, there was no need, my room faced the road and yes it was very busy during the day (I wasn't there to spend all day in my room, so not a problem) but calmed down at night. The staff are wonderful and very helpful. The rooms have been described as small, mine was a similar size to my own at home, I'd definitely consider staying again.

This review is a long time coming. We stayed here back in August 2016.
There were 6 of us in our group and we were given the entire top floor with 3 rooms, balconies and beautiful views of Mount vesuvius.
The staff were so welcoming and happy. Checking to see we were ok.
Rooms were clean and adequate.
Food was nice and filling. Breakfast was a lovely variety.
We all enjoyed the evening where the hotel set up outside providing a buffet for everyone.
The pool was thoroughly enjoyed. So you have a little walk over, but it's fine. So nice and big.
We enjoyed the lemon drink they made there.
The location was handy, just a pleasant stroll into the main town.
I would definitely recommend and stay here again.
We arrived by train from Rome and it was easy to find.

The only downside to this hotel was the road it was in produced a lot of noise at night. Take ear plugs.

Had the pleasure of staying here on a coach tour. The hotel is so much nicer than some of the previous reviews lead you to believe.
Check in was quick and efficient, our room was very nice. Although we were near the road this did not disturb us, in fact it was entertaining watching the mopeds driving so erratically. The hotel was spotless everywhere.
It???s a family run hotel and everyone is anxious to ensure 1st class service.
The food was amazing, freshly prepared daily. It would be worth a return visit just to sample the food again.
This is by far the best hotel I???ve stayed in on an organised trip.

Bedrooms a little dated &would recommend requesting a room over looking the beautiful garden as the main road is busy. However it is such a friendly hotel with lovely staff that really look after you. Food is excellent, evening meal home cooked to order not sitting around on a buffet table for hours. Nice pool area and lovely garden. It is about a 20minute walk into Sorrento but doable & bus stops near by. The staff make this hotel special and Rita & her team do a fabulous job making you very welcome. Would definitely recommend if you like a small & friendly hotel.
