We were very pleasantly surprised by this hotel since we got a very reasonable rate for the room. We paid extra for a balcony and it has to be said the view is spectacular - great view across the bay to Vesuvius.
We were on a B & B basis, rooms very comfortable and the breakfast was plentiful - cereals, bacon and eggs, meats etc and as much as you want. The swimming pool was not in operation as it was being renovated but it looked like that was almost finished so will probably be finished by the time you read this.
It is easy to walk into the main part of town if you are reasonably fit as the path is quite steep with steps but is an enjoyable walk - takes about 15 minutes.
The hotel is situated in a picturesque part of Sorrento (the part that features on most of the postcards) and there are some great restaurants just on the door step if you don't want to walk or catch the bus to the main square (bus is once an hour).
Sorrento is a great place and also very good base for Pompeii. Don't go on a rip-off price coach tour -get the train which only costs something like 2.60 Euros return, takes half an hour and stops right outside the entrance!

We went to Sorrento, with two other couples, never having visited Italy before.

The Hotel exceeded our expectations in just about every category. The cleanliness, friendliness and relaxing atmosphere made it a memorable time. You have to go to the Gala Night dinner - they really try hard to entertain you - lots of clapping and enjoyable food!

The little bar-man will tell you his life story if you ask him and Antonio is always on hand to serve your drinks. The only downside is that it is a steep walk up a windy road (10 -15 minutes max) to the centre of Sorrento but they do run a few courtesy buses (perhaps more in high season?).
<br><br>
Sorrento itself is a marvellous place with many small shops and restaurants. We had the best pizzas in The Red Lion near to the Rail Station (ignore the name it is Italian not a mock English pub). After a good night out in town we usually stopped off at one of the bars near to the hotel for a night cap - very friendly people in all the ones we visited.
<br><br>
If you want to do some sightseeing have a look at the special offers advertised in the rail carriage outside of the Rail Station. If not, you'll be ripped off by the holiday reps. We will be heading back next year I hope!

The chef was second to none, and the quality of the food was superb, although some people had a good "winge", and the amount of mozzarella that was untouched by many Brits was shocking! We felt the hotel did its utmost to cater for the nationalities of those present, and in some respects it would have been nice for the chef to have been "let loose" and really let his flair shine.
You must be in relatively good health to stay here as the walk to Piazza Tasso is steep and it can be quite humid at times. Plenty of rests are advised on route! However, the hotel offers amazing views and is so tranquil. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone considering a real chill. Watch out females for the horny waiters! A swift "no thanks, but nice try" is a good way to get them away!
An amazing holiday and the hotel was an integral part of this. Look out for Anzo the waiter. He is so cute. Looks like a little tough nut but his smile is amazing as are his eyes, and he is one lovely guy.
