Parco dei Principi

The best hotel in the world in terms of design and historical significance. Great work of Gio Ponti. The location and the view from the room.. Giardino Botanico. The Swimming pool. The museum in the hall.

The staff at the hotel were super friendly and helpful. They really made our stay in Sorrento enjoyable. We arrived at Sorrento with two days of rain. However the service and breakfast made up for the otherwise disappointing trip to the Amalfi coast. The hotel staff also helped us print out our train passes. The toilet wasn't working properly on the 2nd day, but they requested maintenance to repair in no time and also fixed the bedside light that wasn't working. The hotel is situated at a reasonably convenient location if there isn't any rain. We did manage to walk on the short periods when there was no rain. I loved how the restaurant is facing the ocean with glass windows. I would imagine it would be so romantic and serene if the weather is better.

The view, the housekeeping was amazing how many times she gave us new towels and turn-down service. It was like she was a fairy godmother. The room service staff were extremely attentive even though she had a wedding the same kitchen was catering. The Concierge, Claudio, was so friendly, accommodating and helpful. The overnight Concierge was truly wonderful, as we had to go to the hospital unexpectedly and they arranged a taxi in the middle of the night. It wasn't so urgent that we needed an ambulance, but the two Concierge on staff were helpful and very compassionate to our nervousness. The restaurant staff in the dining room, at the beach restaurant, at the beach bar, pool bar and blue bar were excellent-especially Francesca! Thank you for a truly magical experience.

The hotel is a beautiful gem, sitting atop the cliff the views are unobstructed & awe-inspiring. When you enter the lobby, you are greeted with floor to ceiling windows & the restaurant looking out onto the sea. The design is stunning, modern yet using Italian tile & aesthetics so it feels authentic to the area. The staff is so welcoming & accommodating. We had a balcony room located at the front of the property so views were great. The included breakfast was great, know that you can order items not included in the buffet (eggs any style, bacon, French toast, pancakes, etc), we didn't know that until the 3rd day of our stay & it was nice to have the variety. The saltwater swimming pool is large & service there is great. The private beach club down at the sea is exceptional & very luxurious. The staff is super accomodating & a pleasure to work with. And the garden grounds surrounding the property are so beautiful & expansive. Also, be sure to visit Il Ruffino for some of the best pizza we tried on our trip as well as the rooftop bar of Hotel Mediterraneo for a gorgeous sunset drink & snacks.

The garden is magical. The retro industrious Scandinavian-looking furniture really grew on me, even if the decor is a bit dated. Rooms are super clean - both the bed and the bathroom especially. Kudos to the cleaning staff.
