The bed was super hard and the thin pillows were like rocks. We both had sleepless nights.

Amazing breakfast and super friendly staff on beautiful grounds with excellent ocean views.

Nothing, loved everything about it.

Everything; view, food, service, staff, cleanliness, grounds, history. One of the overall best hotels we’ve ever stayed in.

We were in love with all of it. We would have loved to go in the pool which was as beautifully designed as the rest of the hotel but alas was still closed as we visited in April.

It was the most beautiful place in terms of setting and design. The terrace and views were exceptional and made us feel like we were on a beautiful film set. The room was spacious and elegant with a lovely view of the fragrant gardens.

The location isn't that far from the center of town - probably about a 15 min walk, but just a heads up that the sidewalks/pedestrian walking areas are variable. Sometimes there's no sidewalk, sometimes you need to switch sides of the street etc. and while the street isn't that busy, you should expect Italian style driving and may need to be a bit bold and take courage as a pedestrian!

Our room was on the garden side, which is still a lovely view of the grounds. The room was spacious, even with a twin sized bed set up for our daughter. The bathroom has best counter space in any place I've stayed in Italy (out of Florence, Venice, Rome, and Napels...silly but it really helps getting ready in the mornings with 3 people!) The breakfasts were fantastic! A huge array of options, lovely and attentive staff, and an enclosed foyer that seats you right over the ocean for a magnificent view.

Distance from the town center with no shuttle service. Taxis overcharge.

Beautiful location. Great staff.

Please do not change anything in the bathrooms! - because it is important part of the design of 1962. There are some comments here in Booking, that the bathroom is not good enough for somebody, that the bathtub is not big enough etc. I would say that the design and simplicity of the original bathroom is a high value from the times, when the consumerism was not the main thing in life. Good luck with good guests, who understands the architecture and design ! 👌

The best hotel in the world in terms of design and historical significance. Great work of Gio Ponti. The location and the view from the room.. Giardino Botanico. The Swimming pool. The museum in the hall.

I guess I wished the beach access were open. I came early in the season, which on the flip side, enabled a very tranquil environment compared to the craze of high season.

The garden is magical. The retro industrious Scandinavian-looking furniture really grew on me, even if the decor is a bit dated. Rooms are super clean - both the bed and the bathroom especially. Kudos to the cleaning staff.

Expensive taxi rides - $25 euro one way to the hotel or to the train station with luggage - only 5 min drive. The water had white residues from hard water ?? I had to do a google search. But maybe this is sorrento water ?

The staff at the hotel were super friendly and helpful. They really made our stay in Sorrento enjoyable. We arrived at Sorrento with two days of rain. However the service and breakfast made up for the otherwise disappointing trip to the Amalfi coast. The hotel staff also helped us print out our train passes. The toilet wasn't working properly on the 2nd day, but they requested maintenance to repair in no time and also fixed the bedside light that wasn't working. The hotel is situated at a reasonably convenient location if there isn't any rain. We did manage to walk on the short periods when there was no rain. I loved how the restaurant is facing the ocean with glass windows. I would imagine it would be so romantic and serene if the weather is better.

Bath tub/ shower was dangerously small and slippery. Water was tepid but not hot for bathing.

Beautiful, a museum to Gio Ponti, botanical gardens and great views. A banquet at breakfast, good restaurant.

Location is a bit out of town (30 mins walk) - and not much immediately around in terms of dining / shopping.

Lovely room with a great view. Set in beautiful gardens. Breakfast excellent. The hotel has an amazing and interesting history.

Maybe shuttle to town more often and pickup area a little more descriptive. Across from the Radical bar that was not lit up was difficult to find . But other than that all good .

Breakfast was fantastic and staff throughout the hotel were wonderful. Rosita in the dining room was especially sweet.

met our expectation and nothing in particular that we did not like.

The location, view, breakfast, was all very good. loved the room decor and the fact that it was non-carpeted.

Small things such as needing more coffee and tea replenish in room did t happen and no milk in fridge for coffee .

Rooms excellent .

Dinner menu (too complicated and disbalanced flavors and combinations - italy doesnt need fine dining as it already has the perfect simple food). Carpets need love. Staff is lovely but at times not helpful or forgets stuff. We stayed here 10 days so we had time to examine everything. Toiletries are bad quality for such a fantastic hotel so we had to buy outside.

Location, architecture, beach, pool, lunch menus, personnel, cleanliness, comfort and simplicity.

Stayed in July 2023

The state of the carpets, the dinner menus (too elaborate and confusing flavors, trying too hard), personnel is sometimes a bit slow on response

The pictures here don't do it justice really, it's a much more beautiful hotel than they show. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Food is great. Rooms are pretty spacious. It's also quite close to Tasso Square. Definitely would recommend.
