this hotel is truly a hidden gem! its well run, clean and very beautiful! however, you will need a very good map or sat nav to find it for the first time! the rooms are very comfortable indeed, i wanted to bring the 6 foot wide bed home! just up the lane there is a restaurant called zio sams. this is also the best we found! its a five minute walk from the hotel and has superb food at very reasonable prices. main courses with drinks were under 30 euro's. the staff are very friendly too! the drive into sorrento from the hotel takes about 20 minutes and is 5 km away. you need a car as the taxi fare is 32 euro's each way! parking in sorrento is a nightmare, so use the multi storey or the underground. they are both 2 euro's an hour, but worth it for the safety. if you venture of the main roads, you will find yourself in some very undesirable areas, and these are not safe. there are bandits everywhere along this coast line and they target tourists cars. these are easy to pick out as they are the only clean undented ones! so beware! . once back at the hotel, relax on the front terrace overlooking the bay. breakfast at the hotel is adequate, there is nothing hot on the menu, but there is plenty to fill up on before you start your day! croisants, bread, honey, jams, pastries, yogurts and coffee. there is tea and coffe making in the rooms and you can just ask for fresh milk. there is also a tv in each room, but no english channels.
