These people are rude. Room 104 for my 25th wedding anniversary. Great view but all rooms on this side are below dining room with just okay food. A great hotel for menis friendly service. The Bell hop was the most accomodating of all the staff. If you ask for something such as Coffee and a slice of cake at the pool at night after 9pm they got annoyed. Dont be in the customer service business if you dont want to do it. Rude. Romano the manager kept my money he found in the safe. He said there was no way to get it back to me in The United States because it was in American dollars 300.00. I told him on the phone keep the money and use it towards the 111.00 charge to my room for bottles of water. Again this was impossible. So to put it as simple as possible Romano will not help you period. He kept my money and we say in Italian he is a Truffatorre Vergognoso (DISGRACEFUL CROOK) Go somewhere else it rates middle of the pack. They didn't make the mountain so you can go elsewhere for a great view and great customer service

This is a nice Hotel. Localization is great and Hotel has one of the best views I ever saw including restaurant. You need to pay a lit bit more for a room with this view. Hotel staff is very professional and always ready to help you with information however compared to other hotels in Italy they could be more kind, polite and careful with some comments.
Customer satisfaction doesn??t seem to be a priority and cost benefit maybe is not the best if we consider all components.

My husband and I stayed here for 6 nights while we explored the Amalfi coast. One thing I wish we were aware of is how easily you can walk to the hotel with your luggage from the ferry. We waited for a taxi and paid 15 euros for a one minute ride. Our mistake I guess for not further investigating.
We were blown away by the views when we entered the hotel. Not to mention the beautiful grounds. The hotel itself is very pretty, an old mansion by the sea.
The front desk staff is very friendly and helpful. Our first impression of the room was ok. Unfortunately we had many ants in our room. The next day we mentioned it to the front desk and after that we never saw one ant ever again. We had a pool view room. The sea view was sold out. I enjoyed our patio overlooking the pool and hills behind Sorrento. It was never noisy. We slept good.
A couple mornings it rained so we slept late, missing the breakfast but if you call down they will bring it to your room which was so nice! We never ate lunch or dinner at the hotel because there were just too many options nearby and we wanted to be surrounded by the culture of Sorrento instead of sitting inside the quiet hotel. The front desk staff has great suggestions for dinner and will call to make reservations. They arranged our day trip to Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius. We really enjoyed that tour, I highly recommend.
All in all I would highly recommend this hotel for the service, location can't be beat, the bar was a highlight for drinks before dinner (best old fashions ever had), and views of the sea.
