Location was great. Close walk to train station and all the meeting points of tours. Breakfast was good. Staff was friendly and provided restaurant recommendations. Air conditioning worked well. Room was close to reception area and was loud at times. Lift for luggage was convenient.

A wonderful experience at Palazzo Starace! To start, this is a very convenient location to the port and train/bus station, it was walkable for us, even with luggage. The staff here is outstanding! Helpful, polite, warm and welcoming. The room we had was spacious and clean. Some may say it needed updating, however we found it charming and beautiful with marble throughout. The breakfast here is also wonderful - overlooking one of the main walking thoroughfares in Sorrento we enjoyed sitting there. The food was fresh and delicious. Made to order eggs, plenty of pastries, fresh fruit, fresh squeezed orange juice, espresso and more. This is also very walkable to all of the top rated restaurants and so much shopping, literally steps from the entryway. If you are looking for a place to stay in Sorrento, I highly recommend Palazzo Starace and would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Great location close to restaurants, shops, activities. Staff very friendly and complimentary breakfast each morning was nice. Only negatives were the toilet didn’t flush properly, took an hour to refill the tank, and the shower stall was a bit moldy.

Perfect location 1 min walk from main square and 6 min walk from train station. So close to so many shops and restaurants. The staff was so wonderful and packed us a breakfast to go for our 6 am check out. Breakfast every morning was delicious and balcony was a perfect spot to play Italian cards at night. Would stay here again!

Thank you, Jessica, for the nice review. You definitely took the best combination of our place: good food, Italian pastime, balcony in the heart of Sorrento. What a “Dolce vita”!Waiting for you next time in La Bella Sorrento!

Excellent location. Off via Corso 30second walk to square. Cant get better then that! The ladies are nice, breakfast is great but the same as all the breakfasts in Italy. Things that I didnt like.1) only one key (2) no staff after 9pm. If you have an issue ie a/c you have to wait until morning. (3)No concierge services. Not knowledge about typical tourist questions. If u are looking for that go to a hotel. (4) shower was huge but impossible to shower without getting the bathroom soaked. (5) basic requests felt like extreme requests ie.. extra pillows.( they were meet but you felt like you were bothering them especially the man) Also if stairs are an issue for you dont say here not wheelchair accessable. 4 floors by stair. Keep that in mind

Dear Katerina, thank you for your time spent writing your review. We are sorry to hear you complain about your stay with us and given some inconsistencies we have found in your review we want to point up some aspects which might be useful also for other customers. We are very proud to be a B&B family-run business, so since we are not a hotel, we do not provide night service, but we are available every day from 07:30 am to 09:00 pm. We are always happy to help our guests by providing them with all the needed information. In your case, we also had a written chat correspondence where we replied to all your questions about private transfer, ferry to Ischia, Capri/Amalfi tours, beach clubs, and restaurant reservations. Moreover, we have fulfilled your every request as quickly as possible as you have seen and written. (Extra pillows, air-conditioner maintenance, extra set of keys, help with canceling a tour to Capri and restaurant twitch you had previously booked by yourself) Palazzo Starace is based right in the historical center of Sorrento in an antique building without an elevator but only with a lift for luggage. Your room was on the bottom floor, howsoever this info is always well specified to our guests before their reservations. We want our guests to be happy in our home, so we are sorry that this was not the case for you.

An excellent location right in the heart of the historic centre. Warm, friendly and helpful staff. A sumptuous buffet breakfast. Walkable to key public transport options and easily accessible to local sights, restaurants and shops. Street noise could be quite loud, especially on weekend nights, ear plugs definitely an essential.

Amazing stay, couldnt ask for more. Perfect location in Sorrento, very friendly staff, especially Sabrina who greeted us day one. Best breakfast that we had in Europe, and they enthusiastically make sure that you are enjoying the food and have sufficient caffeine. Free alcohol in the mini-fridge. Good advice

Could be better
We booked two rooms, the first was nice and spacious, the second was like living in a closet. The staff was very nice and the breakfast was much better than expected. The arrival after 22:00 was an issue and cost an extra 30euro per room. The property only has access by stairs, no lift and rooms are on the third floor. The staff was able to use a dumb waiter to get our cases upstairs but on early checkout (before 9:00) there are no staff and you are not allowed to use the winch so you have to carry the bags down.

Property location was great within the town centre and you can do day trips to positano/ Amalfi/ Pompeii ruins etc. When we tried to use iron and hairdryer, it overloaded the power but the reception gentlemen was very helpful to get the power back on promptly. Breakfast was good too and the 2 ladies in the kitchen were very friendly.
