Hotel La Tonnarella

This was our first trip to Sorrento and we will definitely be back!!! We stayed at La Tonnarella for 10 days and did day trips to Amalfi,Positano, Ravello, Pompeii and Capri (could have skipped Capri, too congested and expensive). We stayed in a Junior Suite at LaTonnarella and had a panoramic view of the sea and Vesuvio that was breathtaking! When we arrived the first night we were greeted like family by Giuseppe Aiello, I believe he was the manager. He checked us in, answered all our questions and took us to our room. What a welcome! We are ordinary people and were greeted like celebrities. The hotel exudes an old world charm with lots of color, ceramic tilework, sunshine and a relaxed vibe. There were some areas tho that could use a little freshening up. The view from our suite, the outside dining room where we had a few dinners, and the inside dining room where a free breakfast is served were sensational! The hotel was built into a mountain and is about a 20 minute walk from the main square, so we were far from the maddening crowds. We would walk into town each day for sight seeing, shopping and lunch and then head back to the hotel. It is a pleasant and scenic walk but along a very narrow path with the narrow street overwhelmed by cars, busses and motorcycles.So you have to be very careful. At night, we took taxis down to town and back up which ranged from $50-$60 Euros round trip which can add up quickly. Giuseppe was always there for us to answer our questions, take our laundry, call taxi's and suggest some very good restaurants like L'Abate and Aquamaria and make our reservations at these restaurants and at the hotel. Anna Lisa also did an outstanding job doing all the above as well as a gentleman at night with grey hair. SERVICE WAS EVERYTHING at the front desk!!!! The hotel was very very clean and well stocked and our jr. suite was so spacious and inviting. Our outdoor terrace was huge with an umbrella and 2 lounge chairs as well as a little reading nook and an outdoor shower. The food at the breakfast room was fresh and well prepared with a lot of variety and we went there every day. The outside terrace for dinner was also good but the menu never varied so we ventured into town most nights and dined at Il Buco, Anqiua Ristorante Parrucchiana FAvorita among others which were all amazing. Thank you Giuseppe and Anna Lisa, and all the housekeeping staff, serving staff at breakfast and dinner. WELL DONE!!! Only 2 minor criticisms: They are advertised as having a private beach and they do. But you have to take a very old small elevator down to another level and walk down which is fine. But the beach is so small, rocky, and no real sand. We only went once and it wasnt worth it. Secondly, the A/C system is old and our room was too cold always - could not be regulated. Minor things. Overall GREAT EXPERIENCE!! It was pricey but we did have a large junior suite.

A vista desse hotel foi simplesmente uma das mais belas da minha vida! Acho que quase nunca vi nada igual em lugar nenhum do mundo.

Nao tinha televisao no quarto, e falta de de serviço de quarto apos certa hora. Nao consiguimos pedir nada para comer a noite

Second time there. Great people at the hotel.

This hotel was not a 4 star hotel. Rooms are small, mattresses are hard and very uncomfortable, shower is very small with old tri-slide door with awful shower heading spraying everywhere. Never figured out the AC, no way to get brewed coffee before 7:30am, breakfast was not great, no place to put suitcases and clothes storage very limited. We had to go outside to access room which was very slippery in the rain and room was near busy road which caused traffic. The other couple we traveled with had similar issues. We ended up checking out early and going to another hotel so we could sleep. They offered to change rooms but we were gone all day with no time to try that option but overall the hotel was not acceptable.

The hotel has a great view. Unfortunately that is all I can say for positive feedback. The rooms are small and uncomfortable. The storage for luggage etc inadequate. Noise is a problem with little or no insulation. Our shower flooded the bathroom with every shower. This was not the type of accommodation we expected,

Etwas in die Jahre gekommen besonders der Strandbereich, aber trotzdem schöne Lage und nah am Zentrum

This was the first of four hotels that we stayed in during our last trip to Italy. We spent four nights here before moving on to Florence. The hotel is about a half mile or so away from the village, perched on the edge of a steep cliff. It's about a fifteen minute walk into the village along a mostly narrow sidewalk but with a great view. All downhill into the village and all uphill going back. The room was large with a big deck and fantastic views of the bay. We could see the lights of Naples across the bay. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was large and included a statute and fountain in the middle of the shower. Water pressure was very good. Breakfast was also good with a large selection of eggs, bacon, cereal, fruit and pastries. They brought coffee and cappuccionos to the table. Overall our stay was very pleasant.
