Outstanding Stay – Can’t Wait to Return! Room 103

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a refreshing welcome drink and warm smiles – the perfect start to what became an exceptional stay. Every single member of staff was friendly, approachable, and genuinely eager to make our time here as enjoyable as possible; nothing was ever too much trouble. Breakfast was fantastic, with a wide selection to suit every taste, and the team were more than happy to prepare additional dishes on request, like perfectly fresh poached eggs. The food from the hotel restaurant was exceptional; beautifully prepared, full of flavour, and served with the same attentive care we experienced throughout our stay. The hotel itself, including the pool area, was absolutely immaculate. Sun loungers were always available, and we were greeted with fresh towels before being taken to our preferred spot. Throughout the day, staff regularly checked in to see if we wanted our umbrella adjusted to suit the sun; such a thoughtful touch. Our room and the sky lounge had the most breathtaking views, overlooking the sea and Mount Vesuvius; a sight we never tired of. Every member of the team, from reception and bar staff to maids, pool attendants, and the dedicated advice team, was attentive and professional. Their local knowledge was invaluable, offering fantastic recommendations for trips, excursions, and restaurants, helping us make the most of every day. We also loved the friendly chats and light-hearted football banter about Manchester United and Napoli; it made us feel even more at home. This hotel truly sets the standard for hospitality, and we can’t wait to come back! Grazie mille – Room 103.

Exceptional, Unforgettable 5 Star Experience

This hotel, recently renovated to perfection, leaves no detail overlooked—every aspect is flawlessly executed. The service is truly outstanding, with staff going above and beyond to meet every need with genuine sincerity and professionalism. A special shoutout to Vittorio, whose extraordinary care and attentiveness during every interaction elevated our experience to new heights. The hotel’s prime location offers a short, scenic walk to all major attractions, and our ocean-view room was well worth the additional cost. The hotel also provided a stainless steel drink bottle that could be refilled at any time at a water station. The Sky Lounge provided a breathtaking sunset view that will linger in our memories forever. This hotel made the trip unforgettable in every way!

Lovely hotel. Clean and modern. Lovely spacious room. Staff are very welcoming and can’t do enough for you. Only had breakfast but very good. Although the hotel was fully booked never felt overcrowded. Wonderful location. Approx five minutes walk from the centre of Sorrento. Beautiful view from the roof top bar.
