Sorrento Coast hotel guide. Independent hotel in Sorrento Coast, Campania

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Antiche Mura. It’s conveniently located near the Main Street of Sorrento. It has a wonderful breakfast from 7-11am and a lovely pool and bar on the property. The service from everyone on staff was excellent."

"Our room was spacious, light and well furnished, the bathroom was also spacious and cleaned to a high standard each day. The bed was very comfortable. The balcony was a pleasant place to sit - in the sunshine during the morning and in the cooler shade later on. The staff were exceptional - friendly, polite, helpful and always professional. They were very helpful when I sprained my ankle - providing an icepack and then calling for a doctor when my husband was ill. The breakfast choice was also exceptional, as were the options for the evening meal on the poolside or in the Magnolia restaurant The garden area was a peaceful oasis - it would have been nice to have more seating in the shady areas of the garden. I would recommend this Hotel for its peaceful atmosphere and lovely staff. It was hard to believe that the busy Corso Italia was only a short walk up the road!"

"Positioned high up on hills, the hotel offers a view that is breathtaking…these are for certain rooms. Inside is immaculate, modern and the terrace/bar/restaurant looks directly at Vesuvius. I was a little disappointed at how small it was and how whilst the hotel itself looked recently refurbished, the room needed attention e.g., the floor tiles were chipped/cracked, and the cupboard door was ill-fitting. The size of the rooms appears to be the most commented feature in reviews. However, the view was unbelievable…doesn’t get any better. I sometimes imagine how royalty is treated when they visit hotels. I honestly felt like a king as the staff are very attentive, nothing is any trouble and all the staff (including receptionists and the maids) were wonderful…the UK could learn something from this hotel in relation to how to provide outstanding customer service. Food and drink are not cheap but then the choice was good, cooked/presented to a high standard, awesome in flavour, delivered quickly and with a smile…worth it for me personally. The pool was a great size, immaculate and looked after by very attentive and friendly pool attendants who on arrival, adjust your sunbed/umbrella and provide you with fresh towels…great service. They even take your drinks order and it’s delivered to you by bar staff. So yes, the rooms are a bit small (but you are out all day) but given the hotel décor, the location/views and the outstanding service, I’d recommend this to anyone!"
