Specialist! Drivers were always on time and courteous. The only struggle was the train from Rome to Naples - but it’s only because the train system is a bit nutty and we’re new.

We really liked the location of our hotel in Rome (Campo de Fiori) although we would have preferred to stay in the main part of the hotel instead of the apartment. Excellent breakfast in a really beautiful hotel.
Our time in Sorrento was lovely. The hotel was very uniquely located - down on the beach at the Marina - and the view was fantastic.
The hotel was very nice and the staff were excellent! Marina Picolla 73. I wasn’t sure at first, the beach isn’t swimmable out front because it’s a marina - but the beach clubs were a quick walk. And this hotel is in a quiet area compared to the hustle and bustle up top in town. We needed a quieter place to come back to. If you like the busyness of the square, you might prefer a hotel up top.
There’s a lift to get you up there, staff will fill you in on this.
Again, the tours were very good. We took an all day boat tour of the Amalfi Coast (8 hours stopping at Amalfi and Positano and then a swim). It was great, but a bit long. The boat was overcrowded and we were told we needed to lie down on the bow of the boat while in transit so the captain could see. That wasn’t ok with us - so we figured out a way to prop ourselves up. The boat wasn’t comfortable and there were too many of us. That was a miss. But we do suggest a trip down the coast.
Also a few hours on Capri is a must. The ferry is an easy ride. Expect LOTS of people everywhere. We were definitely peopled-out by the end of our time in Italy.
There is a lot of walking to be done in Italy. Bring comfortable shoes.
A home run by Harris. Both Greece and Italy were well organized and everything met and exceeded our hopes and expectations.
Hotel Reviews
Marina Piccola 73
Sorrento
Liked the location and the staff were excellent. Food was quite good. Silly rules about not being able to drink our own wine on the rooftop terrace.
Room was quite nice. But the bed was very uncomfortable. Kind of like sleeping on concrete and made for some very long nights. A hotel in this price point should have better beds.
We wouldn’t stay here again because of the beds.
Authenticity & Character
A really unique and lovely hotel.
Location
Unique location away from the busyness of the main area of Sorrento.
Staff
Helpful and friendly.
Cleanliness & Comfort
While it was clean, the bed was very uncomfortable. This is a huge miss on the part of the hotel.
Boutique Hotel Campo de' Fiori
Rome
The location of this hotel, right in the market is fantastic. The roof top terrace is wonderful!
The main hotel is absolutely stunning with so much character and charm. We didn’t see the rooms in the main hotel because we had booked a suite. Oddly, the suites are in a different beholding across the square. And that building deserves a 3/5. While it was nice to have a bit more space, the suite lacked character and charm. The three flights up to our room were ridiculous and the lighting in the place meant we did the stairs with our phone flashlights.
If you have any mobility issues at all this part of the hotel is not for you. Honestly, it was very frustrating.
No real view and located in a dirty back alley. Limited hot water was also a problem. The bed was comfortable though, which is important to us.
Breakfast was held in the basement of the main hotel and it was excellent. A beautiful building and perfectly located.
While we recommend this hotel, we advise against the suites in the other building.
Authenticity & Character
The main building is lovely. The suites lacked character or convenience.
Location
Right in the market. So much to do and see.
Staff
Pleasant. Professional.
Cleanliness & Comfort
The hotel was clean. Access to and from our suite was uncomfortable.
