Would apprecaite any inforamtion anyone might have on the Capodimonte Hotel in Sorrento. Plan to be in Sorrento 4/3-4/6 and this hotel is being considered. Any other recos would be appreciated as well.

Yes, I know it. It's a four star hotel, at Sorrento, on the road toward Massalubrense.<BR>It is in panoramic position, and rooms are fine. There are several terraces, a big garden, and solarium. <BR>Welcome !<BR>

Vincenzo: Do you know how close to the town this hotel is. We were a bit concerned about the hotel since no one ever speaks of it in all the msg threads on hotels in Sorrento. Thank you.

Vincenzo Jan 29th, 2002 11:26 AM

Grand Hotel Capodimonte is in the town of Sorrento: not in the centre of the town but very far from it. About twentyfive minutes walking.<BR>It's a nice four stars hotel.<BR>If you need more help, here I am.<BR>Buon viaggio.

I am also looking for a nice hotel in Sorrento in May and would love to here anyone's suggestions for small places within easy walking distance from town center and preferably a little away from the initial piazza at the train station. Also, preferably less than $150

Vincenzo Jan 30th, 2002 06:45 AM

Tara, your requirements are so much and aimed so, that it seems you want your cake and eat it too. ( May I say so ? )<BR>However, I try to suggest the best solution to you: La Tonnarella, a two star hotel with fine rooms, bar and resturant on the beach: May is a very good month to appreciate sun and beach.<BR>It is small enough, about 20 rooms. <BR>Walk distance from town centre is about twenty minutes.<BR>But, really, it it far from the railway station. Once taxi at your arrival and once taxi at your departure.<BR>Rates are very interesting: about 108 euro per day per person, full board.<BR>If you need more helps, don't worry: I live here. <BR>Ciao.<BR>

Vincenzo,<BR>Do you know anything about the Hotel Onda Verde in Praiano?<BR>Would this be a good place to stay? We will have a car.

Tony Hughes Jan 30th, 2002 07:36 AM

It's only about ten minutes from town at most - certainly not 25 mins. Lovely place, very expensive, though. If I was rich enough, I'd stay there.

Vincenzo Jan 30th, 2002 10:50 AM

Bill, as you told me you have a car, I tell you Onda Verde is good enough.<BR>Environment is fine, rooms are quiet.<BR>Have a nice trip.

Diane Jan 30th, 2002 11:51 AM

We stayed elsewhere last May, but had considered Onde Verde. After driving past it I wish we'd stayed there. On the Amalfi coast, you want to have a view. You'll definately get that at Onde Verde.

Bill Jan 30th, 2002 12:06 PM

Thanks a million, Vincenzo.<BR>Your input has been invaluable to those of us that want information about the Amalfi coast.<BR>If your email is authentic, I will invite and spouse/friend to dinner when we get to Sorrento.<BR>Caio<BR>

Vincenzo Jan 30th, 2002 12:10 PM

Thanks a million, Bill.<BR>Of course my email is authentic; I'm awaiting you at Sorrento.<BR>Welcome !<BR>Ciao<BR><BR>

Vincenzo:<BR><BR>I fell in love with Sorrento and Amalfi <BR>Coast when I was there last Oct. I am planning on returning this Oct., but solo. I need to find an affordable, clean, centrally located hotel/apt. in Sorrento for about 8 days. I stayed at La Minervetta last Oct. Loved the hotel/view and restaurant, but because I am going solo, and don't plan on spending too much time in my hotel, can you recommend something for me. An apt. would be great, that way I could take advantage of all the wonderful local food and make myself, or new friends, some great dinners. Can you recommend such a place. My budget allows for no more than $70 US a day. Thank you for any help. Ciao.

Vincenzo Feb 1st, 2002 10:16 AM

Barb<BR>no problem, I'll attempt to help you. I need to know the exact period. Is the center of the town a must ? Is the town of Sorrento a must ?<BR>Ciao.

Barb Feb 2nd, 2002 10:04 AM

Vincenzo: Yes, Sorrento is a must. I love it!! I will not have a car, so must be within walking distance to town. I'm looking at Hotel Del Corso, Hotel Mignon Meuble? Also, can I get a boat to Procida from Sorrento? I am thinking of spending a couple of days on Procida. Thanks for your help.
