9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,001 reviews)
This property was lovely! The shuttle was extremely convenient and saved us so much money on cabs into town. It’s about a 10 minute ride into downtown Sorrento.
Breakfast was amazing and the view was INCREDIBLE. We really enjoyed sitting on the terrace and having a drink.
Only comments to note would be that the pool and jacuzzi close at 7pm which is quite early when the sun sets around 9pm. Also, the restaurant offerings were quite fancy and expensive so we couldn’t have a casual dinner at the hotel for our more low key days.
Service was great and we enjoyed reserving time in the small gym available.

Well worth a trip to this - smaller than Pompei but great.

Nicer than Pompeii and it has plenty of shade as the houses are more or less intact.

Fantastic ruins to visit to compliment a visit to Pompei. Although its smaller, the ruins are equally fascinating.
