Hotel Villa di Sorrento, Amalfi Coast

4.4 (9 reviews) · Standard
Classic Sorrento-style historic hotel with bright rooms, partial sea views, and a dining room

Overview

Experience the bright traditional style of Southern Italy at Hotel Villa di Sorrento, located on the main square of Piazza Tasso. This historic building dates back to 1854 and has retained its old-world charm with marble floors, picturesque terraces, and vintage furniture. Piazza Tasso is just one minute away, while the main street of the town, Corso Italia, is one block away from this prime location. If you're using this as a jumping-off point to explore the Amalfi Coast, Positano is just a 45-minute drive, and Amalfi is an hour and 15 minutes.

The rooms follow the style of Sorrento, featuring patterned marble floors, bright natural light, and vintage furniture. Room sizes are typical of the region, so Standards may feel a little tight. For a bit more space, consider booking a room with a terrace, which offers a view of the Piazza Tasso and partial sea. Triple and Family options can sleep three or four on multiple beds. Bathrooms include rainfall showerheads and some stand out with brightly colored tiles.

This hotel was not a good experience for us. The traffic in front of the hotel was constant and very loud (motorcycles, honking horns), and it didn’t stop until after midnight. With the exception of one young man, the front desk staff was not very friendly, any request we made seemed to bother them. They charged us to use a beach towel for our water excursions, which we did not expect. Also, the breakfast was very limited compared to all the other hotels. The only eggs included in the free...

With the exception of one young man, the front desk staff was not very friendly, any request we made seemed to bother them. They charged us to use a beach towel for our water excursions, which we did not expect. Also, the breakfast was very limited compared to all the other hotels. The only eggs included in the free breakfast were boiled, and they only had 3 or 4 eggs ready at 7:00 am. We had to boil them ourselves once they were taken, and we had to pay if we wanted fried eggs or omelets. We would not recommend this hotel. We would have preferred to be on a quieter street, even if the location was not as centrally located.

It was a little run down. They could use a little sprucing up but then again I think it was a 3 star hotel so maybe it was on par for the price.

This hotel was so iconic Italy. Impeccably clean, service was absolutely perfect and the location is optimal to enjoy the sights of Sorrento. Delicious breakfast and coffee as well.

The rooms were small which we now know is typical in Europe. That didn’t matter to us because we were not there most of the time. The rooms were super clean and although the king bed was actually two twin beds pushed together it didn’t really bother us… maybe because we were so tired from travel adventures!

Tips for future travelers

The hotel doesn’t have a view or a balcony (at least our room didn’t), but there are views everywhere and the location sure made up for it!
