Sorrento Coast, Italy Hotel Rooms at the Independent

Rachele is "famous for her hospitality" and recommends all the best spots in the Sorrento area. Highly recommended.

A great location in the middle of Sorrento it is an easy walk to everything (as pretty much everything is in Sorrento). While we didn't have an amazing view there were many windows for natural light. Priceless vistas come at a price in Sorrento. The room decor was very hip and everything felt pretty fresh and clean. About a 30 second walk down the street is Davina restaurant, which we would highly recommend as the food was some of the best we had in Italy for great prices. The staff was also very friendly. The only draw back was that their "breakfast" is for a voucher for the cafe just down the street which consists of a coffee and a pastry. While both are good, I didn't feel that it was enough food to keep you with days filled with walking walking walking. The Cafe was also a local spot which is very busy with locals. While it did have its charm and authenticity, first thing in the morning I sometimes like a bit of quiet before I get my first coffee in rather than squeezing up the counter amongst boisterous italians smoking a laughing. Charming at first, but after 4 days of it a little more low-key would be nice. Regardless, this is a tidy spot for good value.

Very friendly staff and beautiful views. It was a bit hot when we were there and there is no airconditioning. The location is beautiful and right on the cliff overlooking the water. The continental breakfast was nice too.

Excellent location. Shops, restaurants and bars. Fabulous tentative cleaning lady. The attic room is character, super clean and spacious although she can only speak Italian. Landlord and staff are also very nice and helpful. There's a fridge in the room but would be nice to have a kettle, too. Note - There is no reception! Best get the hotel number and arrange the time in advance to pick up the keys or call them on arrival. The landlord also own a pub 'The Manikin' less than a minutes away.

This is a very nice hotel on a hill with superb views. There is an elevator, restaurant, and a beautiful pool.

Excellent service and a great location....within walking distance of all the shops and a beach.

The staff were lovely and informative, the hotel clean and with beautiful views. Only downfall would be that the beds were quite hard, but that's a personal preference. Shower was very powerful. Great experience all round

The resident has beautiful garden, helpful staff, great value for money.

We loved our stay in Sorrento - and Marianna made us very welcome. Our rooms were always spotlessly clean and towels and sheets were changed regularly. Being in the historic centre of Sorrento added to the holiday - with the sea in easy walking distance, all the shops and restaurants on our doorstep, and our hosts always ready to help with information. The bed was very comfortable - and having a fridge in the room was great. We stocked up at the local supermarket, which gave us a choice not to eat out all the time. The air con worked well too - and the free wi-fi (but we never found an English channel on the TV. Still, who goes to Sorrento to watch TV?). We weren't anticipating a plush hotel - we picked a B and B after all! But the room had everything we needed, it was bright, colourful and comfortable with a lovely garden to look out on and we had a wonderful holiday.

Great location and Carlo was very kind and accommodating
