Sorrento
 
So many hotels to choose from - which is the best?

Neopolitan Aug 1st, 2006 12:47 PM

You mean the most expensive and luxurious? Or the one with the best view? Or the most casual and relaxed atmosphere? Or the one with the most charming decor?
Price is no object?

I guess I mean a reasonably priced but charming also. Location is important - want to be able to walk out my door and roam the city.

I'd be interested in the place that you think has the best view. The Pallazo Sasso keeps coming up but that is in Ravello and is $$$$. Are there others that rival this view?

Good evening Mazuk! "Reasonably priced" means different things to different people - it would help if you would give a price range. For some, 120euros is reasonably priced. For others, 315 euros is reasonably priced. See what I mean? Happy travel planning!

We love the Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria. Right in the center of town - but quiet due to the large private gardens. Beautiful pool and great views from the terrace and the balconey rooms directly overlooking the Bay of Naples. And we found it to be very reasonable for the quality and location.

We stayed at Hotel Settimo Cielo in the summer last year(www.hotelsettimocielo.com.) It is a 7 or 8 minute walk (uphill) from the centre of Sorrento on the Capo. We booked a room with a terrace and had an amazing view over the water - I believe all their rooms have views over the water. The cost was 140 euros a night and included breakfast - served inside or outside the dining room, again with an amazing view of the water. The hotel also has a pool. The photos on the website will give you an idea of the location of this hotel, which is terrific value for money.

Our one and only visit to Sorrento had us staying at the Hotel Villa di Sorrento. Location and price were perfect for us; a short walk from the train station, off the main town square and less than 150 USD per night including breakfast. We loved Sorrento. Deborah

We stayed at Hotel Settimo Cielo, also. Loved it! Great deal for the price (same as posting above). The short walk into town was a great way to burn off all the great the food we ate. Also, the bus stop was right out front of the hotel. We took it to the train station with all our luggage. And the view... to die for. I left part of my heart in Sorrento.
