I chose this hotel as a special treat. If I was going to be on the Amalfi Coast, I wanted to have a terrace over looking the Mediterranean and Mt. Vesuvious. My room did have a wonderful view, but it was small and antiquated in a rather stuffy manner lacking charm and panache. The bathroom was designed in a simple manner and would hardly be called luxurious. To my dismay, there was old, dried food splashed on the wall next to the bed. I called the front desk for them to come and clean up this mess left by the former guests, and they acted as if it would put them out. The establishment did not bother to clean up the mess until the following day! The entire hotel had an aura of forced snobbishness and it was ludicrously pretentious. For over $500.00 a night, I had one of my worst hotel experiences!
This is suppose to be the nicest hotel in Sorrento. All I can say nice about this place is that the views were fantastic and the location great.
