Grand Hotel Aminta

View from room and seating areas was incredible. Pool attendant was very attentive and worked with a smile.

Dinner menu could have accommodated some lighter options although all food was excellent. Bus shuttle service on return is a bonus but needed. Busy on return could be stressful.

Tan poético su nombre suena, lejos del centro queda, cierto; según del gusto es el acierto, bien o mal que el viajero piense. Cada hora una camioneta van convence, lleva y trae sin precio puesto. No es gran hotel, pequeño, cercano a la norma sorrentina, claro; moderno, estético y raro se destaca por servicio galano, profesional, equipo sano, entrenado al gesto y al trato. El desayuno, limitado, queda corto frente al contexto; si vienes a paz y descanso, esto es lugar para tu recato. Si solo duermes, sobra rato de infraestructura y costo. Nos ofrecieron, de repente, un “upgrade” que sonó distinto: habitación más amplia, el instinto dijo bien, mas en edificio presente a cien metros — ida y vuelta, pendiente— no fue tan cool el trayecto extinto. La pieza fue limpia, agradable, cuidada en su estampa y aspecto; buen baño y ducha, sin defecto, cama cómoda, término razonable, algo intermedio en lo blando, estable. Todo en el hotel, caro en efecto. La posición en la colina alta regala un ocaso que no falla; ver el atardecer, la muralla del cielo sobre el mar que salta, es bello y calma toda falta, Sorrento enrojecido se empalla.

La lejanía del pueblo. Si el hotel está lleno la Van que te lleva y trae no va a tener sillas suficientes

We have just returned from another wonderful stay at the Grand Hotel Aminta, and after 12 visits since first discovering this special place 24 years ago, we can honestly say it remains our favourite destination. We wouldn’t dream of staying anywhere else. Our connection with the hotel is a particularly personal one. We were married in Sorrento in 2006 and held our wedding reception at the Aninta, making it a place filled with treasured memories for us. Returning here always feels like coming home. What makes this hotel so special is the people. Every single member of staff is outstanding – from the waiters and bar staff to the pool attendant, cleaners, front desk team and courtesy bus drivers. Everyone greets you with a smile, asks how you’re doing, and genuinely wants to make your stay perfect. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and they simply can’t do enough for you. The fact that many of the same staff members are still there after all these years speaks volumes. Being welcomed back by familiar faces feels like returning to see old friends rather than checking into a hotel. The setting is absolutely breathtaking. The views are spectacular, and the beauty of the surrounding area never fails to amaze us. We stayed in the villa Aminta which is set apart from the main hotel. Our room was luxurious with a private balcony overlooking lemon trees and with beautiful sea views. The 2 minute walk to the pool and main hotel through fragrant orange and lemon trees is a magical experience in itself. The walk down into Sorrento takes around 15 minutes and offers stunning views every step of the way, while the regular courtesy bus service makes getting in and out of town effortless. The hotel is impeccably maintained. Everywhere is spotless, and the attention to cleanliness is second to none. The food is consistently excellent, with a fantastic choice of dishes and outstanding quality throughout our stay. The Aminta Special cocktail remains a firm favourite and is an absolute must-try. The pool area is another highlight. The heated swimming pool is wonderful, and the separate jacuzzi area, with its incredible views towards Capri, is the perfect place to relax and soak up the scenery. This visit was particularly meaningful as we were celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary. We were touched to find beautiful flowers waiting for us on arrival – a thoughtful gesture that perfectly reflects the warmth and care shown by this family-owned hotel. The Aminta continues to set the standard for hospitality. Exceptional staff, stunning surroundings, immaculate facilities, delicious food and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere make every stay unforgettable. After 24 years of wonderful memories, including our wedding reception and now our 20th anniversary celebration, we can say without hesitation that this is a truly special place. We are already looking forward to visit number 13. Highly recommended.

Fantastic in all respects. Staff very welcoming and friendly. Pool area is great with no experience of sunbed hogging. People left their beds and disposed of towels when they had finished. Breakfast was excellent with fantastic choice of sweet and savoury. Dinner was superb and delicious with 4 courses if you wanted them. Starter, pasta , meat and dessert. Try the ones from the trolley! Room bright, spacious, comfortable and very clean. One of the best hotels we have ever stayed at. Shuttle buses (free) solve the problem of being out of town.

Just back from a very enjoyable 11 night stay at the Grand Hotel Aminta. We stayed in a "Superior room with Balcony and Sunrise Sea View". The room was spotlessly clean with one of the most comfortable beds we have ever slept in. It was also well equipped, but minor negatives were that the balcony is quite small, and not particularly private, plus the shower cubicle had no screen or curtain. Turning to the hotel overall, the location is fantastic with a stunning panoramic view from the Island of Capri past Naples and Mount Vesuvius to the Sorrento Peninsula towns - wow ! The quality of the breakfast, lunch and bar snacks was first class with service to match. The dining room and poolside bar area are also very classily decorated. All of the hotel staff are most helpful and polite, including the poolside attendant who delivers towels and helps set up loungers and umbrellas. During our stay, the poolside areas and the (heated) pool itself were never that busy. The shuttle bus to and from Sorrento town centre is very useful and reliable, although we did occasionally walk into town which takes 15-20 minutes down narrow paths and steps (avoiding the main road with it's manic drivers). Overall, we had a fantastic stay at the Grand Hotel Aminta and highly recommend this hotel. Note, however, that the prices of drinks is relatively high compared to bars and restaurants in town. But in our opinion, worth every cent for that view alone.

After arriving to a disappointing experience my wife posted on trip advisor, since then all issues were corrected very quickly and we have nothing but admiration for the staff and general manager who met with us privately, we were offered a room change which we declined but it was very much appreciated, the staff in both the reception and the bar and restaurant have been amazing and have gone out of their way make us happy, the food also is fabulous

Well first impressions really poor, been so looking forward to this stay our first ever time in Italy and very disappointed up to now, upon arrival greeted and given sufficient info, room booked, a superior with sea view, view fab, but small and dated insufficient hangers which were delivered upon request but were dusty and dirty so had to be given back to be cleaned and returned, safe didn't work and had to be replaced, very little in the way of plug sockets and room could have been cleaner with the toilet brush leaking on the floor, not good, however after complaining these things were corrected but this has after an awful long drawn out experience in Naples airport, left us tired cross and we just wanted to be given a lovely room without any issues, that didn't happen. Hoping after our evening meal tonight and a hopefully a good night's sleep things will seem better tomorrow 🤞

The property was beautiful! Excellent staff, dining was great!

Not in walking distance to city center but there is a hotel shuttle to town or taxi is an option

Sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt! Das Hotel war sauber, komfortabel und das Personal stets freundlich und hilfsbereit. Tolles Frühstück. Ich habe mich rundum wohlgefühlt und würde jederzeit wiederkommen. Vielen Dank für die tolle Gastfreundschaft!

Wir mussten am Pool und an der Rezeption 4 x nachfragen bis wir Handtücher bekommen haben und haben fast 40 Minuten gewartet - das ist nicht 4-Sterne-like!

The view was phenomenal. The staff were helpful and accommodating. It was clean, and comfortable.

The shuttle was too restrictive in how often it took you to town. Skips several hours in the afternoon and we had to wait hours or rearrange our schedules to get on the shuttle. The option was to pay $35 dollars every time we took a cab, which we had to do a couple of times. The breakfast was ok, scrambled eggs, and some fresh fruit, pastries, same things daily. The wait staff for breakfast were very nice. The pool hours were too restrictive, could not swim after 7pm for some reason, but the pool was heated and wonderful.
