From the moment I arrived to the moment I departed, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this little gem of a hotel. This was my very first visit to Italy but I was made to feel so welcome by Renato and his wonderful staff. The hotel is full of traditional charm with modern day facilities - yes, there is free wifi throughout the whole building! I was on a half board basis and the meals were delicious. Breakfast was self service with cereals, croissants, rolls, cheeses etc. They also do omelettes and pancakes to order. There are juices and hot drinks - the wonderful waiters bring the tea, coffee etc to your table. Evening meals are full waiter service. Every night there was a choice of starters, then a choice of mains and finally desserts. My room was number 68. The bed was really comfortable. There is a TV, free to use safe and fridge. The bathroom currently has a bath and shower (they are going to be altered soon). The only issues with the room are it is right beside the lift (which makes a doorbell sound when it reaches the floor) and there is no view from the window. However the views from the terrace, where you can enjoy a snack, coffee or a drink, more than made up for that. The hotel has a beautiful swimming pool and sun terrace with loungers. Just a few minutes walk from the hotel is the local village which features cafes, shops and a beautiful church. There is also a bus stop just outside the hotel. If you wish to explore the local city of Sorrento, the hotel has a free shuttle bus that will take you there in a few minutes. Just notify the reception staff that you wish to go. Reception is also the place to go if you wish to book a few excursions to help you pass the time. You are in the perfect spot to visit the tragic ancient cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum as well as the cause of their destruction, Mount Vesuvius. Or you may prefer to take a boat trip to Capri or around the Amalfi coast. I cannot really say how much I enjoyed my stay at this beautiful hotel…. I really hope to return in the not too distant future.
