Guest Reviews
- maria (10/5): - Very goed location and friendly host and beautiful room!
- Stauble (10/5): Luca was the most gracious host and the location was just outside the hustle and bustle but was a quiet sanctuary with g - Location was excellent and the gardens
- -jeffw (10/5): - The excellent service provided by Luca was more than expected. The room was beyond our expectations. I cannot express enough how wonderful this place is. Nothing, except not enough time. You never have enough time to spend.
- MaherF (9/5): -
- Barbara (10/5): The perfect comfortable Sorrento stay that's convenient to food, fun, and beautiful views and a hospitable host. - For us, Relais La Rupe was the ideal stay while visiting Sorrento. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated, very clean, and quiet. The hotel is located in a tourist area yet set back far enough to be away from all the noise and commotion. It even has a serene garden patio if you want to relax outdoors. The location was within walking distance to great food, the scenic coastline, and the train station. Luca was a fantastic host with suggestions of where to eat and what to do, including an offer to help search for a specific product in the nearby town Piano di Sorrento. We would definitely stay here again! I really can't think of any.
- William (9/5): -
- weitzman (9/5): - In perfect location to the center of the old city, 10 minutes walk to the marina. The host is very nice and helpfull, you can ask him for any advice about the area. None
- MARC (10/5): Calme et reposant, un îlot de tranquillité - Accueil sympathique et professionnel de Luca , chambre propre , un jardin privatif superbe. Central , proche de tout. Bon rapport qualité prix Rien
- Lucia (10/5): - Villa d'époque avec charme et un beau jardin,vrai havre de paix. Emplacement idéale pour visiter Sorrento et proche gare et port. Luca est très gentil et de bon conseil, je recommande vivement
- Grant (10/5): - Luca was a wonderful host. Such a great location just above Sorrento and very easy to walk right down to the Main Street area yet quiet and comfortable being away from the street.
- Nicole (10/5): -
- Vaibhav (8/5): -
- Teresa (10/5): Beautiful location! Will never forget our stay! - The property is beautiful. Wonderful artwork and the host is exceptionally helpful and friendly. A little more expensive than other places I've stayed in Italy but Sorrento tends to be more pricey. I wish there was a breakfast option or light snacks for the morning.
- Yvonne (10/5): -
- Susan (10/5): -
- Namgung (9/5): -
- Thomas (8/5): Great - Location wonderful, very central and close to railway and bus stations Nothing
- Carol (10/5): Helpful host.quirky, characterful property in excellent location - Quirky, characterful property in excellent location. Nothing.
- Juliana (10/5): El host mas hospitalario de toda la región! Sin duda fue la mejor base para conocer l costa Amalfitana - El host mas hospitalario de toda la región! Sin duda fue la mejor base para conocer l costa Amalfitana. Esta muy bien ubicado, cerca al centro, es una casa histórica que le suma a la escencia de la ciudad, la verdadera estancia italiana
- Rebecca and Adam (9/5): Just a delightful, easy stay. 100% recommend - Lovely room, garden and welcoming host. Thank you Luca! The property is central to everything. It is a short easy walk from the train station, not that we ever heard one. It even comes with a friendly cat who seems to rule the house! Would very happily stay again. That we had to leave.
- Susan (10/5): Absolutely Perfect! Luca is an amazing Host. - Everything was calm, clean & serene!
- George (9/5): Very good quiet central locality - The host Luca was very helpful and friendly
- Jonathan (9/5): - The accommodation was within a beautiful historic villa. Our host Luca was so friendly and helpful. The room itself was charming, bed very comfortable, room was quiet and spotlessly clean. We enjoyed our stay very much and were lucky enough in October to spend the end of our afternoons lying in the sun round the pool. Location was brilliant.
- Anthony (10/5): Great Host, Great Location. Highly Recommended - The location is a 3 minute walk to the main square and walking strip. Luca was super helpful and friendly. Great host. There was nothing not lo like.
- Rie (10/5): - Skønneste gammel hotel med masser af sjæl og hygge.Samt den sødeste mand Luca meget hjælpsom, meget imødekommende.
- John (7/5): - Location is fabulous. Two minutes walk from the main square, six minutes from the station and ten minutes to the ferry. It feels special going through the wooden door like going into a secret garden. Our host Luca was lovely and cheery always asking about our day and he also organised our taxi transfers from and to the airport. Having no breakfast was more of a pain than we expected and we obviously chose poorly with our room because it provided low natural light. I think it was quite expensive for the limited facilities. The shower in the en-suite was sometimes great but other times was luke warm. Given prior reviews, I think we expected more.
- Florence (9/5): - Luca war ein sehr aufmerksamer, dabei aber sehr zurückhaltend. Seine Restaurantstipps waren exzellent. Der Garten ist eine Oase. Wir hatten drei sehr entspannte Tage.
- D (10/5): Perfect boutique hotel with charm in excellent location. - The fact it is a vintage boutique hotel (old 16th century villa) with so much charm and beauty, a little oasis away from the hustle and bustle but still only 5 min walk away. Luca our host goes above and beyond to ensure your stay is perfect. Always at hand to any needs. Rooms are all unique we absolutely loved the one we stayed in. Highly recommended. Absolutely nothing
- Vladimir (9/5): Excellent location. Great landlord - Excellent location, two steps from the city center. It surrounded by beautiful garden. Luca is wonderful landlord. Very helpful, ready to help with anything. He organized for us transportation from and to Naples airport and boat trip to Amalfi coast. The only negative thing for us was the darkness in the room, because it didn’t have windows. It is a old remodeled building. But because of good weather we spent most of the time outside and it wasn’t a big deal
- Carol (10/5): - Lovely history to the building we stayed in of which part of which was the hotel. Felt very safe. Luca, the host was great and made us feel very welcome. Very easy walking access to all the local shops and restaurants including the marinas and ports. The private garden was very tranquil. The pool looked stunning but the water was quite cold so not the best for a leisurely swim. No hesitation in recommending this as a place to stay in Sorrento. Felt very safe
- John (9/5): -
- Grace (9/5): A beautiful week in Sorrento. - Perfect location! Great to have access to the pool and a clean, spacious room. Luca was a fantastic host- with helpful information about local restaurants, and assistance booking tours and transfers. Definitely recommend! Nothing
- ANA (10/5): La vida se mide en instantes que parecen de película y aquí, vivimos la nuestra. - La atención de Luca es excepcional; un anfitrión maravilloso, atento, servicial, amable y cariñoso; siempre atento a cualquier necesidad que pueda surgir, desde plantear una excursión, llamar a un restaurante, pedir un taxi, hablar sobre su amado Sorrento … un 10, sin duda seguirá siendo nuestro lugar de referencia para la visita a la Costa Amalfitana. Gracias Luca!. Hasta siempre! Todo ha sido muy bueno
- Edouard (10/5): - Luca was incredibly kind and welcoming, always ready to help. The hotel is beautifully designed and perfectly located — close to everything yet peaceful. Everything was just perfect. Highly recommended!
- Pascale (10/5): Séjour parfait dans un endroit au charme fou - Tout était parfait! Luca est un hôte fantastique, toujours à l’écoute et disponible pour vous aider à passer le plus merveilleux des séjours. La localisation à Sorrento est parfaite dans le centre tout en étant au calme.
- Lucy (10/5): Fabulous host, fantastic stay! - Luca was so thoughtful and always on hand to provide us with the best experience! The room felt really special and was super clean. The property itself is very impressive! Location couldn’t be better!
- Carrie (10/5): A beautiful oasis and a really special property with an exceptional host - Absolutely stunning property within a couple of minutes walk to the heart of Sorrento, with a lovely pool and private gardens, this is a true oasis. Peaceful, relaxing, gorgeous room opening out on to the gardens and Luca is the most attentive host who made our stay feel extra special.
- Samantha (9/5): Superb - Excellent location. Luca was welcoming and extremely helpful. Really lovely end to our trip - thank you
- Anna (9/5): A slice of hidden historical charm, not to be missed - Luca was so friendly and helpful and welcoming! The villa is a beautiful and calming Oasis right in the centre of Sorrento yet undisturbed by the bustling city. The views over the old mill are simply magical, and the little pool was just spot on, no children in it so nice and peaceful to enjoy. The gardens were an absolute delight, I could sit there in the evening watching the world go by feeling like I was enveloped in a tranquil paradise of lush greenery, straight out of a film. I would without a doubt only stay here if I returned. One tiny detail and certainly nothing to stop us returning, but I'd probably stay in a different room, just because I have a very sensitive nose and pick up things others can't, and the old fabrics above the head of the bed in the red room have had their time.
- Paul (10/5): Great location and excellent service. - Luca is an excellent host and extremely helpful and accommodating. Nothing
- Nicolas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mario (10/5): lovely stay in historical villa - We had a wonderful 3-night stay at Relais La Rupe. The host, Luca, was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our visit. The rooms were spotless, and the whole place has a really charming feel. The gardens are absolutely beautiful, peaceful and full of character. The villa itself is full of history, and the decor reflects the local heritage in such a tasteful way. A perfect spot to enjoy Sorrento!
- Beth (9/5): Perfectly located traditional villa - Relais La Rupe is perfectly situated for exploring Sorrento and all it has to offer and the host, Luca, couldn’t be more hospitable. The pool area is very pleasant with plenty of loungers in the sun and shade and we mostly had it to ourselves on the days we spent there. The room was nice and cool (I think because of the nature of the property) but also had great aircon As it is quite close to town it can be quite noisy with traffic but that can’t really be helped if you want to be in the thick of it! Also would prefer if included breakfast was an option
- Katrione (10/5): Fabulous stay in this great place, thank you Luca for everything you did to help make our stay so special - We loved the old villa style of the building & the good size & comfort of our room. It also had the perfect location close enough to the station to walk & also very close to the centre of Sorrento, beaches etc. An added bonus was the pool, a fab place to cool off at the end of the day. Finally we really appreciated Luca's help & excellent recommendations for food & Sorrento activities all delivered with great charm & wonderful Italian hospitality. There was nothing we didn't like.
- Warren (7/5): If you're looking for a hotel this is definitely not for you! - The owner was very pleasant and it's centrally located so near to local restaurants, shops etc. When I booked it I thought it was a hotel with the usual facilities you'd expect. We were surprised to find it was in effect just a bedroom and a bathroom albeit nicely furnished, with much of the rest of the building being apartments owned by others. Whilst the room was nice and a very comfortable bed, we felt it lacked all those extra finishing touches you'd expect for the price we paid (e.g. there were no catering facilities and only fairly basic facilities in the room, such as a very slow kettle, coffee sachets (no tea which for us English was a shame), no fresh milk, only coffee creamer and no luxury shower gel / shampoo or handwash products which we again for what we paid we felt was rather poor. On balance we wouldn't stay there again.
- Michael (10/5): Unforgettable Stay - Unforgettable 11 days stay in this 16th century villa located in a quiet location just steps away from Sorrento town center Piazza Tasso. The best experience we had during all 3 trips to Italy. Relais la Rupe was by far the best. Our ground floor room opened up to a fascinating garden with beautiful flowers, trees, relaxing private pool and an extraordinary view of a 500 years old flour mill. The garden grounds are a great place to relax in peace and quiet after a long day of touring. The main attraction is the courtesy and helpfulness of our host, Luca. He goes above and beyond to ensure each guest has everything they need. He arranged our driver for pick up at the train station in Naples, our driver for the day to tour the Amalfi Coast, restaurants and site seeing suggestions. We Highly recommend Luca and Relais la Rupe for an Unforgettable Stay ! Thank you Luca. Michael and Vicki
- Patricia (9/5): Great authentic guesthouse in the perfect location in Sorrento. - We had a wonderful 4-night stay at Relais La Rupe, Luca was a wonderful host, eager to help and share advice. Our room was spacious and traditionally decorated. We found the guest house charming with a lovely outlook from the garden towards the old city, and the pool was fantastic during the hot days. We would certainly recommend it. Thank you Luca.
- Ekaterina (10/5): Exceptional - Completely wonderful host!
- Alistair (9/5): Superb - lack of clothes storage, drawers and hanging etc. and electrical sockets
- Lesley (9/5): Superb - Positioning for the old town was great. Room old and quaint. Host was very helpful and welcoming.
- PHILIP (10/5): - Where do you start The Excellent location - near the main the piazza The beautiful Gardens - great for relaxing after the trips The Pool - for that dip when it gets too warm Or Luca a wonderful host Comfortable room, with mini bar, kettle and safe Oh safe - you won't find a more wonderful building in a secure environment. If you want a plastic hotel, this may not be for you; if you want an oasis, a few minutes stroll to the marina, piazza, churches, old town then, this tickes the boxes.
- Paul (9/5): When a host loves his job and city, guests are bound to love it too! - Our host, Luca, is exceptional. He personally greets guests upon arrival and acquaints them with the property and the city of Sorrento. He had many helpful tips and seems to know everyone in town. The location is perfect- within walking distance of everything but tucked in a sweet spot where you hears birds tweet. I precooked outings for every day of our stay. I couldn’t take advantage of the book Luca presented with outings he recommends.
- Robert (10/5): Beautiful Villa Stay in Sorrento - The property has extremely beautiful grounds and is very centrally located! Luca was easily one of the best property managers we have ever had in our many trips to Italy! Nothing! Everything was wonderful!
- Deborah (10/5): Beautiful historic house in quiet location close to main square - Beautiful, historic house close to the main square of Sorrento, but in a quiet area. Our room was lovely & opened out onto a patio & large garden with multiple seating areas. Sorrento was celebrating their patron saint while we were there & we got to hear a wonderful band concert from the town center right below us. Luca was very welcoming & helpful. Be aware that shower is very small.
- Pam (10/5): Exceptional -
- Debbie (10/5): All positive. Sorrento beautiful & accommodation excellent - Great location. Luca was a fantastic host. n/a
- Karen (9/5): Luca was the most welcoming host! Fantastic location, loved the gardens and the pool! - Luca was the most welcoming host! Fantastic location, loved the gardens and the pool! Just wishing the midges were not out in force!!
- Sherri (8/5): - Wonderful hotel and beautiful gardens on top of a historical sight! The location is perfect and Luca was a great host! Look no further in Sorrento!
- Rosa (9/5): Great value! - We loved the location, only a few minutes from the main Piazza, and the room had everything you needed.
- Owen (10/5): Exceptional -
- Eric (10/5): The perfect oasis to relax and regenerate in the heart of Sorrento. - The location was perfect, not only was there a garden on the premise to enjoy nature, the walk to the city center was a short 5 minutes. This was far enough to get away from the crowds, yet very close and convenient. Luca's hospitality was amazing, he made us feel like we were staying at his home. Also, he connected us with the best restaurant in Sorrento, which was an amazing experience.
- John (9/5): Great location , great host, great town , great food , great wine - The location was excellent .. less than 100 mtrs to the main square of Sorrento… the bed was very comfortable and everything worked … Luca , the host , was incredibly helpful in every way. He is the main reason will come back .. he wants to help you and gives you great advice on where to go and how to get there …
- Richard (9/5): A beautiful place, lovely garden and a warm welcome, - Beautiful location in the centre of Sorrento but secluded and with a beautiful garden. Lucca was very welcoming and helpful in making arrangements for us.
- Christopher (10/5): - Excellent host and a great location made our stay very enjoyable. Look forward to returning!
- Oded (10/5): Exceptional - Very special room in a very old and special house just near the center. Luca was amazingly nice
- Lobyntseva (6/5): If you like spacious modern hotels with a lot of light and a comfortable bed this one probably shouldn’t be your first c - Relais La Rupe is conveniently located in the center of Sorrento. Luca was a great host and helped with recommendations/ looking for cabs etc. The bathroom was really clean. Hotel had a lot of interesting modern art both in the reception area and the rooms. pool looked cool but in October it was too cold to use. I can see that it’s hard to leave an OK review to this hotel because Luca is such a great guy. However, our room felt very dusty and we even had to clean an AC filter because it had a strong smell of dust when you turn it on. The mattress was very bad, mattress comforter did not stay on bed and every day you woke up not feeling very rested in a very messy bed. the room was also really dark and felt like a dungeon when you come in and have to go down the stairs.
- Cynthia (10/5): Great stay great vacation - It is a beautiful property located on the side of a mountain that used to have a mill below it.It is an easy walk to the old city.The furnishings have an elegant old world flavor. Information was readily available available. Nothing really.There is an opportunity here to combine with a nearby coffee shop to provide convenient coffe and pastries.But this takes nothing away from the property.
- Shelley (10/5): Relais la Rupe is exactly what we wanted for our stay in Sorrento - Our stay at La Rupe was one of the most memorable of our Italian vacation. Upon arrival we were greeted by the owner, Luca. He explained the history of the building and gave a tour of the stunning garden that over looks Piazza Tasso. Luca gave unique suggestions for restaurants and cafes. He coordinated a wonderful day trip to Amalfi for us, as well. Our room was comfortable and we felt as though we were guests in his home rather than another tourist checking the box. Luca and Relais La Rupe are the definition of hospitality.
- Catherine (10/5): Relais La Rupe is a very special place. It’s charming & quiet but so close to the main square - Relais La Rupe is a very special place. It’s not like any other accommodation we’ve stayed in. Luca, the host, is welcoming, helpful and has lots of useful top tips. It’s quiet & charming despite being so close to the main square. It’s convenient for everything in Sorrento & oozes history.
- Hongtao (10/5): - This place has excellent location, close to everything - Sorrento town center and train station are within a few minutes walking distance. The host Luca is very kind and helpful. He helped us with the Sorrento to Amalfi boat tour which was absolutely amazing! We had a wonderful stay and definitely recommend this place, and would come back for sure.
- William (10/5): Lucky us for staying at Relais La Ripe! - Property was very convenient. And best of all was the hotelier, Luca, who went out of his way to make certain every detail for every guest was enjoyable and memorable. Everything was great.
- Robyn (10/5): Charming old world - We loved the character and charm of the villa. It was a relaxing haven to come back to after being out and about. Our host Luca was wonderful and made you feel welcome and at home the moment you arrived. He was very helpful in organising our minibus tour and transport back to Naples. Always on hand if you needed anything. We will be back. Great Location. The weather could have been better but nothing not to like about our accommodation and host.
- Gary (10/5): Exceptional - We loved the location. It was close to town but was a secluded getaway overlooking Sorrento. The grounds were beautiful with lots of outdoor areas to sit and relax. Luca was very helpful with suggestions on where to go and where to eat.
- Pat (10/5): Magnificent property on an excellent location, only 5 minutes walk to center and Tasso Square , 2-5 minutes to lots of - My husband and I stayed for 5 days. Luca, the host, is very personable and an excellent host! Absolutely everything was great! We loved everything!
- Brenda (9/5): Superb - Fabulous location, mere minutes from the main square. Very comfortable room, pool and landscaped patio, amicable host, very helpful with restaurant and sightseeing suggestions.
- Sarah (8/5): Quirky property - The property is stunning set over a ravine directly in the centre of town. Luca was really informative and gave loads of suggestions for authentic Italian eateries. Great downtime pre dinner on the terrace or watching a film. Really unique property. Town is lively particularly on a Saturday night. Bathroom was really tired and could have done with a deep clean, decent coffee machine required, safe’s need to be secured as they are free standing. I loved the property just could have done with some updating, tidying of garden area and some small improvements.
- Michael (10/5): Great apartment, attentive host - highly recommended! - We stayed for seven nights in Relais La Rupe. The villa is literally a five minute walk from the centre of Sorrento, and ten minutes walk from the rail station. The host, Luca, went to great lengths to ensure we were satisfied with the accommodation, and was ever present around the property, and excellent refurbishment of a great old building. Due to the amount of sightseeing we had planned, together with some spectacular thunderstorms we weren't able to make the most of the pool though it is a tranquil area near the heart of a very busy town. During one of the said thundery afternoons we were able to take advantage of the extensive TV channels and happily whiled the time away. Luca went beyond our expectations when he contacted our onward destinations to confirm our arrangements - our lack of Italian language would have made the exercise so much more difficult. The town is noisy (no fault of Relais La Rupe) though we had earplugs for the bedtime so it wasn't a problem to us - just a suggestion to fellow travellers
- Chris (9/5): Superb -
- john (10/5): - Charming guest house situated in extensive garden on small cliff overlooking Sorrento. Owner Luca was delightful and solicitous. Extremely safe with 2 keyed entries. 3 minute walk to downtown area, including shops, restaurants, and ferries to Capri, etc. Multiple tour opportunities…don’t miss the 8 person all-day small van tour to Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello. Wonderful spot for 5 day stay in the area. Like all guesthouses, amenities eg paper products and coffee were limited.
- Clarisse (10/5): Great stay, good location, very amazing and attentive host. Recommend!! - Our stay with Luca was amazing! He went above and beyond to make sure we’re taken care of, and all of our needs were met. Whenever we ask for something, he was very quick to address and solve them. Location was great too, it’s walking distance to the center. The villa itself has a nice history (explained by Luca as well) so it adds an extra touch to our stay. Thank you Luca for a wonderful time at Relais La Rupe! Highly recommend it if you’re in Sorrento! The bathroom could use a bit of updating.
- Joseph (3/5): Poor - Location Everything old property not kept up to standards
- Kerry (8/5): Very good -
- Sandy (10/5): Stay here! - Luca is an amazing owner host! Makes the entire experience so personal and wonderful
- Anne (9/5): Thank you Luca for looking after us, hope to be back! - Amazing location in the middle of Sorrento, part of the stunning building perched above the Valle de Mulini. Luca was a really friendly and lovely host who explained the history of this beautiful building. Don’t look down into the valley if you don’t like heights!
- Diane (6/5): - We booked this hotel based on Expedia reviews and were disappointed. At the high price point, it was not what we expected. On the positive side, the hotel is located a short walk to the Piazza Tasso, the main square in Sorrento. The room and bathroom were clean, except for mold on the tiles in the shower, which was not removed during our 7 day stay. The hotel had a substantial garden area with a pool, but the garden is overgrown, with seedy furniture, some of which sits on sad looking green plastic “grass”. The room was large, but the furniture looked like it came from grandma’s attic. In addition to a large circular table, there was an upright piano ! There was a long hard sofa embellished with gold painted trim and a couple of coordinated chairs, but nothing actually comfortable. The toiletries provided were two tiny packets of shampoo and a pump container of soap at the sink. No shower gel or soap, no lotion, no conditioner. For a bathroom cup we had two paper cups which were not replaced during our 7 night stay. Sometimes shampoo and toilet paper were replenished, but not consistently. If this were a budget hotel this would be about what you’d expect. But as an expensive property, it was pretty sad and very disappointing. It is also worth noting that motorcycle traffic on the adjacent street is quite noisy at all hours.
- Deborah (10/5): - It was a beautiful one of a kind place! It was magical!!! Luca breathes life into the hotel experience you don’t get anywhere else!
- Philip (7/5): Good - Great location. Beautiful gardens. The only window was the ground level door to the room. So if wanted privacy, not great ventilation or natural light. Dated furnishing.
- Dwight (10/5): Great location in Sorrento - Wonderful stay in Sorrento in a very unique Italian hotel. Great location, short walk to plaza and train station. Wonderful host!
- Louise (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andy (10/5): Fantastic place to stay. - Incredible location in the centre of Sorrento run by a friendly and informative host. This was a beautiful, relaxing place to stay, in a building with history and character. Highly recommended. Nothing.
- Kalwant (10/5): Wonderful location and superb host! - We loved the homely feel and the historic building and the gorgeous gardens and pool.
- Renata (8/5): Very good - A beautiful old villa marvelously located. A very helpful host. Luca offered a lot of precious tips how to organize time and where to eat.
- Adamg4900 (9/5): Lovely stay in great historical location - The location was excellent, just a couple of minutes walk to the main piazza & the huge selection of shops & restaurants. Luca was a great host with lots of info on history of hotel & area, as well as any help/advice when needed. Most days had the pool to ourselves to cool off. The room was large, good air conditioning & kept clean each day. Only a couple of minor things: There's a mini bar in the room (we bought our own drinks from supermarket), but only paper cups to drink from. Also no corkscrew... made do with prosecco
- Sophio (10/5): Exceptional - Great location and host. Beautiful garden and pool. Place with the style and character. The best of the best of Sorrento! Enjoy your stay in Italy!
- Phil (10/5): Exceptional - Words can't do Relais La Rupe justice, it's a tranquil oasis set on a cliff top, a two minute walk from the bustling heart of Sorrento. It's perfect for a relaxing swim after a day out, a chilled glass of wine as the sun sets, and a coffee as the sun rises. To top this off Luca can't do more to ensure you have a great time at his hotel, in Sorrento or the Amalfi coast, he's got the best places to go and the best connections. I couldn't recommend it more!
- Chloe (10/5): Great location, lovely hotel owner! - A unique, lovely and interesting place to stay. Very pretty garden. Perfect location! Luca the owner made our holiday very easy and relaxing. He recommended excellent restaurants and things to do. He helped make reservations for places. Would highly recommend staying here - thank you for a lovely stay!
- Lauren (10/5): A must stay - Relais La Rupe is exactly like the pictures, the location is perfect, a 5 minute walk to the main street and 10 minute walk to both the port and the train station. We expected it to be at the top of a big hill or much less accessible than it is, there is a slope up to the property with a few steps just outside but it’s very central. Luca was a fantastic ‘host’, he explained on arrival about the property, area, trips on offer on and made some great restaurants recommendations. The room was very traditional but spacious and the air conditioning was brilliant. The rooms was cleaned daily and had everything we required. No breakfast is provided at the property but it gives you chance to taste the local pastry and coffee selection. The pool was also a lovely touch, we started 8 nights in Sorrento and and mixed trips with pool days. Towels were provided for the pool, also a selection of books and sun beds & chairs with large umbrellas. During our stay we had the whole pool area to ourselves 7/8 days that we were there. This is a great property in a fantastic location and we would definitely recommend it to anyone that was planning a trip to Sorrento. N/A
- Linley (10/5): Historic villa with beautiful gardens and pool - a relaxing stay in the heart of Sorrento - Location was excellent within minutes walk to the main street yet the position of the villa provided a quiet relaxing setting. The room was generous in size and beautifully decorated in keeping with the history of the villa. Lovely gardens and swimming pool to relax in after a long day out and about sightseeing and exploring. The host Luca was very welcoming and attentive to our needs and very helpful with any questions we had about the area. There is a great little local cafe, less than a minutes walk up the road which was perfect for an Italian breakfast. There are also small supermarkets close by for any supplies you need and many restaurants and shops withing 5 minutes walk. There is nothing not to like about Relais La Rupe.
- Rajesh (10/5): Exceptional - Great Great location, its right there yet you have your privacy in historic building. Luca the owner is a great help and good conversationalist, hes very helpful with good vibration and like an encyclopedia on sorrento I just wish they had a fight comforter in room and tea selection. They do have a kettle but do carry your own sugar, tea etc and yes also carry your own shampoo soap. Location doesn't provide that
- Victoria (10/5): Highly recommend this wonderful property - Fantastic location host Luca was so attentive, informative about Sorrento and wonderful recommendations, clean room lovely pool Nothing!
