Grand Hotel Vesuvio

Location is high on the hill with a great view of the Bay of Naples. Hotel has shuttles back and forth to the main town of Sorrento. Breakfast is great with lots of variety. room was clean, with tiled floor, quite Italian. Balcony is nice to enjoy a glass of wine.

We only stayed for two nights, which is a shame because there's a lot to like about this hotel and the area. Check in was quick and easy, reception staff were professional and efficient. Although we did not have an ocean view our room was large, clean and spacious. The hotel is a little way from the city centre which suited us, as it was quiet. The shuttle bus service is available if required. Breakfast was adequate and our evening meals on both nights was fresh and delicious, especially the buffet dinner which was excellent.

Stayed here from 18th to 25th October 2019. Hotel is very clean (room cleaned daily too). Restaurant food (half board) is very good and although not the hotel’s strongest point it is more than acceptable. Excellent breakfast choice too. Pool is large but cold in October even though we had mid 20 degree weather all week. Shuttle bus is excellent although the walk into Sorrento is not terrible and the lack of a path for the half of the route is not as bad as some reviews suggest. There is a white line to separate the road from the verge. No worse than walking down a country lane in the U.K. Recommend Amalfi coast although road is very twisty and if you get car sick in a coach, then avoid (unless you hire a car). Went to Capri too which is superb and Naples which is very dirty and full of graffiti. Sorrento is a nice town with a good selection of shops and restaurants and very clean. No serious crime in Sorrento since 1961, so the town is very safe and something locals are very proud of. Full recommend this hotel and Sorrento. Finally the view is amazing.
