I need help finding a hotel in Sorrento with a good view for under 200.000. We'll be there Oct. 4 - 7th. Loreley and Minerva are booked. Has anyone stayed at Il Nido?

We stayed at the Minerveta in may 2000 and had a beautiful room with view of Bay of Naples and Vesuvius. It was 180,000L with breakfast. They also have a very good restaurant with the same wonerful view.

We stayed 3 nights at the Hotel Villa Maria (Via Capo, 8) for $160.00 (US). It was Nov. 2000 and there were 3 of us. All the rooms have a balcony w/ a beautiful view of the bay and Vesuvius. The rooms were very sparse but clean and the ladies at the front desk were very helpful in showing us parking and coordinating a tour of Pompeii. I don't recommend the hotel restaraunt though.

I have just faxed a reservation inquiry to Minervetta, so I hope I get a reply. It sounds very nice. Sandi do you have an email or web page for Villa Maria, can't seem to find it anywhere. It too sounds great. Thanks

Barb, <BR>re: site for Villa Maria <BR>http://www.venere.com/it/sorrento/villamaria/ <BR> <BR>You should look at all the Sorrento hotels on venere.it. It's a great site for a wide range of hotel prices and locations for all of Italy.

Thanks for the responses. I just got confirmation from La Minervetta on my reservation and I am very pleased. They just sent my fax back with their stamp on it and a handwritten "Confirmed" with their address. So, I hope that means its confirmed. Would like to hear from anyone else who has stayed there.

My all time favorite hotel in Sorrento: The Aminta. Fabulous views and great staff. Ask for a room in the Annex and you might see the fire flies under the orange trees

We recently got back from a packed 2 1/2 week trip with our family. Part of that vacation included a three-day stay in Sorrento. I can honestly say that upon our return trip to Sorrento we will not hesitate to stay at Il Nido. The view, room, food and general hospitality was that of a warm Italian family. The cost was close to nothing. We loved it; all six of us and all the happy and beautiful pictures. The family who owns Il Nido certainly went out of their way to make us feel "at home"

Glad to hear the good words about Il Nido...since we have reservations there in October!!! I made the reservations based on great comments on message boards!! <BR> <BR>
