Hotel Girasole - Sorrento

Very nice. The owner and manager, Rita, lives on the property and the gardens are beautiful. She made us feel at home and was helpful in getting around the Amalfi coast. We count this a a lucky find on our Italy trip and would return.

Nothing special to report about the hotel per se, which has seen better days. Location: smack between the Sant'Agnello and Sorrento train stops: so you'll have to walk a bit or take a cab. The Sorrreto harbor is far (at least in the sun with a suitcase) and there's nothing to see/do near the hotel. There is parking at the hotel. Pros: Clean rooms, functional, […] nicely kept garden with trees and flowers. Cons: No "real" view of the bay, located along the main - and noisy - road, with a 12 inch sidewalk. Noisy. At least the hotel is situated on the right (North, or bay) side of the road. Don't be fooled by the pictures of the pool, which is located in an adjacent plot, and open to public. Closes at 6PM. If you are on vacation, spending more than one night at the Girasole Hotel does not really make sense. If you are on your way to somewhere else, why not... Read more

The room was decent but the breakfast included was way below expectations, the TV didn't work (we like to get CNN/UK to find out what's going on in the world when we return from a day of siteseeing). The Hotel is a distance from Plaza Tasso which is the main square. It was nice in the morning when we would walk to the square, stopping for breakfast […] on the way) but at night we had to take a taxi due to the distance. This is a homey hotel and that I'm sure is why they announced, in a crowded reception area, that I had a phone message from a relative and I should call that person back. We stayed in 3 hotels in Italy (Rome, Naples and Sorrento) and this was the only one that actually had 2 chairs and a table on the terrace. It was nice to sit outside when we got back from our travels or in the morning before going out for the day and see the view. Also, from our room we heard roosters crowing and church bells which we enjoyed (don't worry, with the terrace doors completely closed you won't hear anything). Read more

A hotel which I must admit was nice and quiet, the lemon tree's in the garden while drinking in the shade made this a nice relaxing hotel, was able to use the wi-fi while under the parasol. Swimming pool is in a seperate place just a short walk down the path and even there was a nice clean building serving snacks and cold drinks. Lots of tables and […] chairs available and a small free for the sun loungers gave everyone a chance of using them when required. Breakfast was always great with a good selection of cold meats/cheese/cereals and breads/fruit was well worth trying as well. Read more

We absolutely loved this hotel, Tony, his sisters, and the rest of the family made it feel like a b&b, so friendly. Although the hotel is 10mins out of town, it is also quiet.

The staff here make the hotel. It is like vacationing with family. The atmosphere around the pool during the day is just great. Breakfast is the best I've ever seen in Europe. It is near the train station and is walking distance from St Agenello and Sorrento. Not suitable for families with buggies as one section of road has no path. Our kids were 8 […] and 12 and this was no problem. Would defo recommend this hotel and will be staying there again. Read more

This hotel was a great price. While a bit a of walking distance from the main square (good way to walk off your gelatos!) it was a convenient distance to the train station and to excellent sunset viewing spots. The family who runs the hotel couldn't have been kinder. They arranged airport transportation for us, loaned us umberellas when it rained and […] were so very kind and friendly. I would recommend this hotel. For the money, you also get a nice breakfast, and there is a great pool too. Read more

This family run hotel was about twenty minutes walk from the centre of town, and about fiftenn from the train station. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The room was clean with ensuite bathroom. The room we were given had a view out over part of the bay and Vesusius in the background. Having a pool was pretty good as the beaches in Sorrento […] aren't great. Read more

Vi er samboere i 20-åra som var i Napolibukta for å se Pompeii, Herculaneum, Napoli osv. Sorrento er en rolig og fin by. Hotellet hadde OK standard og bemanningen var hjelpsomme. Deilig sitrushage der man spiser OK frokost om morgenen. Rommet var rent hver dag med nye håndklær. Deilig basseng - gratis solstoler. Vi angret på at vi ikke hadde rom med […] balkong. Et stykke å gå langs en støyende hovedvei - ca. 10 - 15 minutter gange til sentrum, ville ikke ha bodd her med barn. Ca. 10 - 15 minutters gange til nærmeste strand som var et slags resort, 10 euro for inngang og leie av solseng. Kort vei fra fra Sorrento til utgravingene i Pompeii og omegn, ca 30 min med "metro" (lokaltog) fra Sorrento sentrum. Anbefaler andre som vil se dette området, å bo i Sorrento framfor i Napoli, som er skitten og støyete. Read more

Plus: Family owned hotel with incredibly nice people that make you feel welcome, take time to answer your questions and understand what hospitality should encompass. I heard the people at the front desk speak fluent French and English (and Italian ofcourse). Everything (with one exception) was clean, working (AC) and well maintained, including the pool […] area. Good beds. Great breakfast. City centre at walking distance (maybe a little far for elderly people) Minus: Our bathroom unfortunately had some mildew (showercurtain) and smelled quite bad. Conclusion: We warmly recommend anyone to stay here. Read more
