I had a lovely stay at this hotel, nestled in a beautiful area surrounded by lemon groves. The rooms were exceptionally clean and cozy, which made my stay very enjoyable. While the service was friendly and welcoming, the dining could use some improvement, particularly in breakfast variety. Overall, great location with decent amenities, making it good value for money.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which is nestled in a beautiful garden and really feels like a hidden treasure. The rooms were spacious and clean, providing great value for the price on the Amalfi Coast. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, though the dining options for breakfast left a bit to be desired. Overall, it's a cozy place away from the hustle and bustle, just inconveniently challenging to locate initially.

The rooms were spacious, clean, and separated from the rest of the house, featuring a lovely verandah and an outdoor breakfast area. It had a skylight which was fine since we spent little time in the room.

The hotel is tucked away in quiet back alleys, which can make it hard to find initially. However, it's perfectly positioned for those setting out to explore Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast, with easy access to the train station nearby.

Dining

The breakfast was simple, consisting of toast, cheese, and cold cuts. It did the trick, but it wasn't anything spectacular, leaning more towards sweet options than what I typically expect from a European breakfast.

Facilities

6.0

While the facilities were decent, there was nothing particularly standout. It's cozy but didn't have many extra features to make it feel luxurious.

The staff was friendly and went out of their way to help us. The location was great for getting around, but finding it initially was a bit tricky. On the downside, the breakfast could use some improvement as it was quite limited.
