We stayed in the Hotel Minerva in Sorrento. Ask for a sea-view room. One of the best views around. Fax request: 081-878-1949. Rooms are wonderful. A Db room as around $120 in 2001. Via Capo 30.

stayed at tranmontano and had a wonderful view, great breakfasts, etc. the staff was not particularly friendly, but we didn't care
