  14 Apr 2026

  Very clean with large rooms and shared areas. Beautiful views in all directions including Bay of Naples and Mt Vesuvius. All employees made us feel welcome good shuttle service down to town of Sorrento where there was plenty of shops and restaurants!

  Good Enough

  11 Dec 2025

  The grounds of this hotel and the public areas are gorgeous. The complimentary breakfast was amazing and the restaurant itself is beautiful.The room was bare minimum though with a broken lamp, broken lampshade and limited outlets...but a gorgeous view of Naples Bay and Mount Vesuvius.We stayed two nights. The bed was comfortable. The hotel offers a complimentary ride to downtown Sorrento and back which was very convenient.

  Hotel Vesuvius you are a BEAUTY!!❤️

  11 Nov 2025

  Bit of a delay writing this post- here we go, 2 months later!!We were absolutely blown away by this hotel and can think of no better way than to have spent it here celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary!!Honestly, the photos online do not do this place any justice at all. It is far better seeing this hotel and it's surroundings with your own eyes. The hotel itself is set just under a mile further up the steady climb of a road from Sorrento town with which you are rewarded with fantastic views of the sea.I wish I could bottle the feeling I had when the hotel assistant took us to our room and opened up the balcony doors. It was truly breathtaking, what an incredible view of the bay! It was one of those time stood still moments!!Room was very clean and comfortable, thanks to the lovely maid who looked after us! We had no kettle in the room but we rang down to reception who promptly provided us with one.Another mind blowing moment was walking into the restaurant for dinner on the first evening. The waiters looked so smart and professional in their white attire. They were so attentive and made us feel special waiting on us. It was a pleasant change from a self service buffet where you're constantly up and down fetching food. ( I was suffering with a flare up of my knee so this was a relief!) The food was beautiful and authentic Italian food- a well- sized starter of a pasta based meal followed by a smaller and tasty meat and vegetable based meal of your choice. The desserts were brought around on a trolley and you could sample whatever you fancied. On one of the days we swapped our evening meal for lunch and really enjoyed sitting on the patio overlooking the pool.Breakfast covered all bases, good coffee, not so good orange juice. Would have loved freshly squeezed orange! The hotel grounds were so pretty, with quiet areas to sit overlooking mount vesuvius. The pool was huge and we went for a swim most days. No sunbed wars and such a quiet and pleasant area to chill. I chose a sunbed with views looking out across to Mount Vesuvius.We hired a scooter to get about, visiting the Amalfi Coast and exploring the smaller local bays. We did walk into town quite a few times - not for the faint hearted but it was doable especially with the allure of a limoncello spritz waiting at the end!! You are rewarded with indlcredible views of the bay- bear in mind, there is a handy shuttle bus that takes you to and from Sorrento throughout the day.Thankyou to all involved to ensure we had the most memorable and relaxing holiday here! Keep up the good work!!

  Great Hotel

  03 Nov 2025

  We stayed at this hotel last week and got back on Saturday. the hotel is located out of town and is around a 20 minute walk into the centre. There is a free shuttle bus to take you to and from town which runs like clockwork. it doesn't run between 1 and 4.30 so if you want to come back to the hotel or go into Sorrento between those times you will need to walk. We walked most days into town and although there are no pavements for around 50% of the walk we had no issues and it was a nice walk with lovely views. However, I would not recommend the walk in the dark! We walked once back to the hotel in the dark and it wasn't safe due to the volume of traffic, bendy roads and the Italians drive like crazy people! opposite the hotel there is a car park and Olive grove you can walk through which cuts a few minutes off the walk.The hotel itself is clean, the staff can't do enough to help you and the sea view was amazing. The rooms were cleaned every day and was to a high standard. We stayed half board. The breakfast was lovely, pastries, hot food, cereals cheese ham etc and one morning the waiter got us ham and cheese omelettes which were huge and delicious. the evening meal, this was a bit hit and miss. the first night we weren't impressed at all but it got better. The food was hot and there was around 5 choices of starter and main. We found the starters nicer than the mains most nights. We did see people ask for one starter and then another starter as a main and that was accommodated no problem. We ate at the hotel every night and all the staff were friendly and couldn't do enough to help. The meat was far too over cooked for me and so I stuck to pasta or fish dishes. There was two choices for desert along with fruit and ice cream, the cheesecake was amazing the best cheesecake I have ever eaten! there is no children's menu, which wasn't an issue for us as my son is 14 but I could see it being an issue for younger children. We had a good laugh around the bread rolls as they were like rubber.We had an early check out so the day before we got a note through our door saying there would be a breakfast packed up for us at reception to take with us. It had meat cheese 3 bread rolls fruit and a drink which we weren't expecting and was very much appreciated.There was a gym, we didn't use it but looked clean and tidy. the pool bar was closed due to the time of year so I cant comment on that. the pool looked lovely but again we didn't use it as the water was freezing but it was end of October so expected. Football was on in the bar most nights, we didn't watch it but it was there if that's what you wanted.The views from our room were of Vesuvius and the Sorrento coast line, including the harbour and Marina Grande. The room had the metal shutters to keep out the light in a morning. The hotel was very quite while we were there as it was the week they were closing down for the winter. All in all it is a lovely hotel, I would have no hesitation in going back to stay there I would consider going B&B instead of half board.

  "Food"

  29 Oct 2025

  I found the staff/waiters was a lot older & didn't have a lot of time for you specially in the restaurant I asked a couple of questions about the food & he just walked off so rude. The food is rubbish same every day you don't get a buffet you pick from the menu but I found i didn't like anything on menu you only had a limited choice. An the pudding are awful if you don't like the choice of 2 you've got to have fruit. We didn't know that you could get salad which is yr starter. When we first went to the restaurant the first night me & my husband just looked at each other an "said is that it is that all you get" honestly you do not get a lot in yr plate when the waiters bring it. A lot of people was complaining about the food. The hotel was very clean spotless. No other complaints just the food let it down. 🙁
