Traveling in mid-October- we're looking for a 3 or 4 star hotel on the cliffs with great view, in Sorrento for 4 nights.

Even though it's only May, many of the hotels are booked already! Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

Maybe try Positano, Amalfi, or Ravello?

Have you tried the Excelsior Vittoria, perched on the cliffs in Sorrento? I didn't stay there but ate lunch there one rainy day and the hotel is just lovely. Here's their web site:

We stayed at Johanna Park hotel. It was so cute. It only has 29 rooms, and the owner meets everyone at the door. I would reccomend that highly to anyone.

You didn't say where you were researching hotel availability, so hope I don't duplicate sites you have already visited. Hope the following will help with your hotel search and info in general:

We love Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast. Enjoy your trip.

We always stay at the Bellevue Syrene, which is cliff side as you requested.

I have no idea how this response got so garbled up. Hope you can decipher it. If not e-mail me at [email protected] and I will try to help further.

Another vote for the Bellevue Syrene. Even the view from the breakfast room is fabulous.

We stayed at the IL Nido in early April and loved it. it is 10 minutes out of Sorrento in the mountains with a beautiful view of the coast and capri island. We paid 80 euro per night and that included breakfast, free internet access and free shuttle service to Sorrento, the train station and the docks. I highly recommend it. (www.Ilnido.it) Bill

Thanks to all for the great hotel choices. I'm looking them up now.

We stayed at the Imperial Tramontano last September. We had a beautiful view from our semi balcony. There is a charming bar just off the lobby we stopped in each night which made a lovely end to each day. We enjoyed the hotel and location is absolutely perfect.

Grand Hotel Riviera is a lovely 4 starhotel overlooking the bay - short walk to the centre of Sorrento

Two years ago we stayed at the Grand Hotel Capodimonte, via capo, Sorrento. There are five-connecting pools on the property, and even though it was May, the temperature hit 90 degrees, so the pool was appreciated.

It's a lovely, big hotel with a beautiful view of the bay and about a 3-4 minute walk into town. However, the hotel is located up on a hill, as are so many in this town. If walking back-and-forth up a hill is an issue, I would research the locations of all the hotels you are interested in.

I love Sorrento.

Try the Hilton Sorrento Palace. It is excellent and often has great online prices. Magnificent 5 tiered pool and view. Four stars. Well located as well. And if you are a Hilton member, you will also get points!
