San Nicola La Strada Vacations from $1,742

The hotel is not in Sorrento, but they operate a shuttle bus hourly. If you’re looking for town centre location, this is not for you. The hotel is set high above Sorrento and from the public spaces, commands sensational views across the Gulf of Naples, and an amazing view over Sorrento itself and Vesuvius! It’s a hard view to beat! The hotel & rooms are spotlessly clean, the bar and terrace all have amazing views and the swimming pool is lovely, although was almost bath temperature whilst we were there so ideal. We had partial sea view rooms with balcony on 1st floor (224 and 222 which our daughters had). The rooms really need updating as look very dated and the balcony and partial sea view were just not worth the extra money. Also no coffee/tea making facilities which is always a negative for me. However, beds were very comfortable and the rooms have AC. Restaurant was very good, although we ate quite simply (ie pasta!) and the bar was great - hotel prices obviously. Breakfast was excellent. Same dining room as dinner and a lovely space to eat in. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and found the staff to be plentiful and universally excellent, in particular the receptionists. Note on travel: it’s worth taking a taxi or using the hotel airport transfer service. Public transport looks good on paper, but the trains are rammed. We did a trip to Pompeii by train and it was so crowded we got an uber back to the hotel. Costly but money well spent!

What a phenomenal stay. Lidia, Ylenia and Donatella went above and beyond to assist us with planning excursions and ensuring that every aspect of our experience was extraordinary. Our wine experience with Luigi in an 800 year old cave with the symbol marking of the Knight Templar was a bucket list experience as was our romantic dinner in a private table overlooking the beautiful valley and Villa Cimbrone. The expert wine list and warmth made our 40th anniversary celebration very memorable.The two gentlemen who served us breakfast daily were fun loving and charming. Pascal and his wife Madalena took time to get to know us and treated us like family. This is the type of experience that people dream of having in Italy. Grazie mille for your expert care and hospitality.

This stay was just magical - this is my favourite hotel I have ever stayed at everything from the experience, service, facilities and food was just excellent !

! Our stay at this small, family-owned boutique hotel was truly exceptional. The family is deeply involved in every aspect of the guest experience and goes above and beyond to make you feel genuinely welcomed and cared for. It felt less like staying at a hotel and more like being welcomed by family in Capri. Everything was outstanding — the beautiful property, the pool, the attentive service, and the concierge team, who were incredibly helpful throughout our stay. Every detail was handled with warmth and care. We would absolutely return and cannot recommend it highly enough.

Amazing view, excellent property, attentive staff literally the best hotel in Positano! The food was exceptional and the room was perfect in every way! The bed was so comfortable and the hot tub was cleaned to perfection.
