Hotel Le Terrazze - Sorrento

9.9

The hotel was situated on the top of a mountain with an outstanding view of Sorrento. The services provided the hotel guests was nothing short of exceptional. The place was immaculate and clean and provided a nice breakfast included with the price of the room/apartment. A pool situated on the lower terrace was quite popular with the guests during the heat of the day. A bus both to Sorrento and Positano going in differest directions was convenient and easy to get to other locations. Restaurants that were very good were located as close to next door and around the corner or in sorrento or Positano. Excursions to the Island of Capri could be arranged with pick-up right at the hotel. Our experience here was good and memorable and recommended as a stay while in this area. The hotel is family-owned with the members there taking great pride in their jobs. Outstanding visit and a must stop and visit. I would highly recommend this place for everyone.

While the staff (particularly the hostess) need to work on the people-skills, the property as a whole is very nice...if located quite a ways out of town (transport is absolutely necessary, and the property does not have enough parking spots). The views are quite good, with the property located high above Sorrento, and we received a free upgrade from a standard room to a superior suite (including kitchen area, loft, and small refrigerator). Warning for those who are driving: parts of downtown Sorrento are closed to traffic (physically impossible to drive car on certain streets, not just signs saying "Don't Enter!"), so you can easily become trapped down there with no easy way to get back to Le Terrazze. Breakfast was fresh and well-presented, but pretty much the standard Euro-fare (3 bland cereals, fruit, yogurt, meat/cheese tray, croissants). Hauling luggage to and from room is a chore due to no lift and no offer of help from staff. Would probably return to this property, but it's not a "you must stay there" kind of place.

What a fantastic location and views. The pictures really do not do it justice - the reality is just jaw dropping with amazing view across the Bay of Naples. We visited as a family for 6 days with 2 children (10 & 12)they loved the pool! Location is just great peaceful but close enough to Sorrento and all the main attrations (Pompei/Vesuvius etc) but far enough to be just right and quiet. Bus service was excellent. Our host could not be more helpful & kind, and all the staff were so nice. Rooms cleaned every day and the breakfast was huge and varied - stay here its just great. The Brink Family from the UK

This hotel is the best we have staid in Italy for two weeks. The view from the room is what you can see on the postcards. The personal is so helpfull and friendly. Breakfast is very good. Bus stop is by the hotel entrance, parking is free and always avalable. It takes 5-10 min drive to the center of Sorrento.

we arrived at le terraze tired+cranky after a long drive and a huge traffic jam. the owner greeted us warmly when we arrived, knew we were on our honeymoon+gave us a lovely room and arranged a beautiful dinner for us-the best of our entire trip. we regrettably only stayed two nights, but our experience at this hotel was one we will treasure for the rest of our lives. thank you very much

Gli impiegati sono un pò sgarbati, le camere rumorose, sarebbero da rivedere i rubinetti del bagno, inoltre viene segnalata la presenza del parcheggio, ma in realtà ad hotel pieno sono del tutto insufficienti e si è costretti a parcheggiare lungo la strada!!! Per il resto le foto sono corrispondenti e il panorama mozzafiato. Ad ogni modo sconsiglio l'hotel a chi non è munito di auto! The employees are not so friendly, the rooms are very noisy, the water tap should be revised, moreover the description says there is a free parking, but when the hotel is full it is not enough and you must park along the street!!! As for the rest, the pics are responding to reality and the view breathtaking. Anyway I advised not to go to this hotel if you are not by car!

8.1

A wonderfull place to stay, quiet with a great view (as like on the photos). It's better to have a car.

8.4

I enjoyed the breakfast and the room layout. One of the rooms was not clean, the linens were smelly and did not get changed. The lady at the front desk seemed unfriendly and looked too tired to answer any questions it was at the end of the day when we checked in but still...Otherwise the view of the rooms are excellent.

8.9

hotel a little bit far from Sorrente, a car is compulsary but excellent hotel with warm welcoming and good services

10

WE HAD A GREAT STAY. GREAT TO HAVE THIS HOTEL OPEN IN NOVEMBER WHEN MOST ARE CLOSED.

9.1

Magnificent views. I stayed in an apartment, which was very nice! Only problem is it's not very convenient if you want to spend time in Sorrento at night without a car (I stayed in the off-season, the buses probably run more frequently in summer)

8.5

Price was great and the view was spectacular. We had a quad room since we had two children with us, ages 7 and 9. The kids loved the view and we found the staff very nice. They had a few issues with the room: the heat did not work the first night, and the toilet seat was disconnected from the toilet allowing it to slide off completely.... which suprised my wife! You clearly would want a car at this hotel. It is high up over the city of Sorrento, which was a short 5 minute drive down the moutain. Location was great if you also want to drive to cities on the other side of the mountain like Positano (30 minutes away). I thought the price was perfect and it was wonderful for the kids. We stayed 4 nights.

My girlfriend and I were taking a budget trip through Italy and decided we could award ourselves with a hotel a little bit more expensive in Sorrento than in our other stops, since we were in such a romantic spot. The decision to go for this hotel proved to be a bad mistake. We were coming from Amalfi, on the last bus that was supposed to stop by the hotel. However aparently there was some kind of protest that day, and the street had been closed to bus traffic. I called the hotel several times to ask for some kind of direction or help, but they were quite indifferent to our situation. We were left in the center of Sorrento and the only way to get to the hotel was by taxi, which cost us about 40 Euro. Once there (because of all the havoc we arrived in the hotel after 9PM) we wanted to get something to eat, but there weren't any options nearby (a convenience store, or pizza delivery would've solved our problem), except for a restaurant that would pick us up there. The restaurant was decent and the family who ran it was pretty nice, but unfortunately couldn't save our night. They brought us back and we went to sleep. Since the hotel is in the middle of nowhere and we wanted to see Sorrento and Capri, we checked out and left in the first bus available, before even having breakfast. This hotel may be interesting if you're driving, or if you're staying there for a long time and want to enjoy the amenities it offers, such as a pool, large rooms with kitchens, etc. If you're going there just to visit the Amalfi Coast like we were, avoid it at all costs. Another thing, although everywhere it says that this hotel is in Sorrento, it's actually pretty far from it, in a neighboring city.

We loved this place. Our room was huge. The staff was helpful. Breakfast & the breakfast terrace were lovely. Views were amazing, especially at night. Our only disappointment was we did not get a room with a terrace & view as shown in the pictures. Our terrace only fit a couple of chairs, was off to the side behind trees and we didn't have really any view from there. They recommended a place called Terra Nuova (or something like that). Someone came to pick us up & take us there & it was delightful. The best meal we had in Italy. Directions on the site probably need to be clearer.

Staff was friendly and very helpful.

We enjoyed our stay at le Terrazze. The view was like on the weeb site spectacular! Every thing was perfect. The room was spacious and very clean. The breakfeast was excelent whith a good selection of fresh food. Mr. Antonio his a very nice person always do his best to help you. The location his perfect to go everywear Amalfi,Positano,Capri,Pompéï,Ravello. The bus sotp in front of the hôtel every 20 minutes. We did not have a car and hit was fine. You can go everywhere by bus or train. we highly recommend this hôtel. Michel, Danielle Brunette Canada

L'hôtel est bien situé pour la vue, Par contre, il est très loin du centre. La siutation est très calme, mais la piscine était vraiment très sale!

7.2

Choose for the views. Unbeleivable location over the Sorrento bay. The road to access the hotel is quite dangerous as any location on the coast, breakfast is ordinary, something has to be done to improve it. Good location any way . any room has a large terrasse in front of the Vesuve and the wonderfull bay.

7.6

séjour très agréable merveilleux paysage de la terrasse, ambiance familiale à l'hotel

4.7

nula indicacion sobre dificil acceso a las habitaciones;pasillos escaleras estrechas imposible acceder por si mismo, a persona en silla de ruedas. estacionamiento insuficiente

9.9

We loved this property! The view was magnificient! There is a short bus ride from the property into town but the bus stops right in front of the hotel. The view is worth the inconvenience! We will be staying here again in May!

4.5

The property was difficult to find as the directions were not very clear. The property is not very close to other facilities eg. restaurants. It is in a nice location - great view of Sorrento but the air is very polluted. It is not a good location for a person with breathing difficulties. This was our first visit to Italy . The night supervisor kept telling my relatives to " call back " when they called us " long distance" because he was on a mobile phone and he could not transfer their calls to us until he returned to the office.

8.8

The bus frecuency to get there is not the apropriate and sometimes it doesn´t stop if full; and the taxi is very expensive. The hotel is great and the view is fantastic, but I recomend to get by car.

9.6

Price, value, views all excellent. A little bit longer ride out of town, but views and service made up for it. We stayed two days more than original three because we liked it so much. A car made it easier to stay here. Restaurant next door was great and we ate their twice because of it. The agrotourism location for a dinner recommended by the clerk was way overpriced, but charming. They offered free taxi which should have been the alerting factor. The owner works here full time and is very helpful and responsive.

7.5

We enjoyed our stay at Le Terrazze. However, we did have several issues while we were there. The one thing that stood out the most was how unfriendly the hotel staff was the whole time. It wasn't that they were overly rude, but they whenever we asked a question or had a request it truly seemed that we were bothering them. We loved the view and the room was spacious. Overall, we liked the hotel, I am not sure we would return.

9.9

This hotel is far up on the mountain overlooking Sorrento. We did not realize how far the property was from the train station, cab ride was 40 euro! Take the Sita bus that is 5 euro! Once we got there the view was spectacular, you can see the ocean, Naples, and Sorrento. It is quiet and peaceful. The rooms include a kitchenette which is very handy. We stayed in Sorrento for 6 nights and we loved every minute of it.

9.9

excellant hotel,the owner Antonio is extra helpful and I suggest you benefit from his experience of the area. His suggestions were always helpful and in hindsite his suggestion was always the best option.The local bus stops right in front of the hotel which is super convenient.The car service offered by the Don Pedro restaurant is great, they pick you up at the hotel and bring you back after supper and the food and service is excellant.Their prices are really reasonable for they quality they give. The fresh fish dish was the best we had in Italy! Excellant choix, le propriataire est d'une service extra-ordinaire,ses recommandations sont toujour de mise.Le restaurant Don Pedro offre un service de navette ultra convenient avec une des meilleurs tables de l'italie.Le poisson du jour etait de loin le meilleur de notre voyage avec un prix des plus raissonable.

5.4

Nice hillside location with great views. Both the pool and restaurant are actually in the hotel next door (though that caused no problems). Family room was large, but the sleeping areas were small and "stacked" one on the other, with little ventilation reaching those areas. Overall, we were happy with the hotel, though felt the cost (E200) high for what we got.

8.6

We got a bit lost locating the hotel but once there we were very pleased with the postion of the hotel and the view is to die for. The apartment was neat and clean. The staff were always helpful. The children loved the pool area and the breakfast was typical continental fare. The hotel next door has nice dinners if you dont want to go far at night.

Im Vergleich zu den anderen in Sorrento und Umgebung angebotenen Hotels hat "Le Terrazze" unserer Meinung nach ein gutes Preis / Leistungsverhältnis. Zimmer: Ausreichend gross, sauber und gut eingerichtet. Wir empfehlen ein Appartement, die sind etwas grösser und haben eine kleine Küchenzeile. Lage: ruhig, ca. 6 km ausserhalb/oberhalb von Sorrento. Direkt vor dem Hotel ist eine Bushaltestelle mit regelmässigem Linienverkehr. Wir hatten einen Leihwagen, damit ist man flexibler z.B. am Abend zum Bummeln und Essen in Sorrento. Einen Parkplatz am Hotel haben wir immer bekommen. In unmittelbarer Entfernung (500-1000 Meter) um das Hotel sind ein paar nette Restaurants, das Ausgehen in Sorrento fanden wir aber viel interessanter. Der Ausblick vom Hotel auf Sorrento und die Küste ist fantastisch. Einrichtung/Verpflegung: Der Pool ist ausreichend gross für eine willkommene Abkühlung. Frühstück ist typisch italienisch aber ausreichend für den Start in den Tag. Fazit: Hotel "Le Terrazze" können wir für einen Kurzurlaub (3-4 Tage) empfehlen. Besonders schön ist natürlich ein Ausflug nach Capri und die Amalfiküste. Capri natürlich mit der Fähre aber auch die Amalfiküste, weil Parkplätze in den Ortschaften wie Positano und Amalfi rar sind.

7.1

We were not satisfied with the room in every detail. Under the bed was dust and the photos were made of the nice rooms. Even if You take the more expensive rooms it can be a smaller one and less attractive without two levels as shown. But exept of that it is a very nice place with a grandious view and is very quite.

9.3

One of the best views in Sorrento, especially for the price. The only trick is getting there. They did offer very helpful instructions on how to get there by bus, which stops right at the hotel. It is a bit of a hassle, though, but certainly worth it.

8.2

-if driving to hotel in the dark - get clear and concise directions before attempting to find this hotel-directions given on Venere are not detailed enough with kilometre markings for a new person to area -driving in Sorrento is not recommended -public tourist transportation is adequate

6.5

This hotel is nice if you have a car. If you don`t have a car, you will need 20 minutes by bus to go down to Sorrento center. Avoid taxi, which will cost you 40 EUR one way! Very nice breakfest and view!

7.6

The hotel was great and had great views. I would pay the extra next time to stay in an ocean view room. The staff were not very friendly at times and we felt it was hard to ask questions. The details on how to get there by car are a little hard to follow. Worth it for the views and overall a nioce place.

8.8

The accomodations was clean, quiet and spacious. The people were very friendly. Great view of Sorrento and sea.

8.2

The apartment was very spacious but not equipped for a real 'self catering' experience (limited cutlery available). The view from the room was fantastic and there seemed to be a good bus service from outside the hotel (we had a car so didn't use it). The pool area was very good with plenty of sun loungers. I would recommend staying outside of town as the views are fanstastic and the town can be a bit noisy.

9.5

The views are even more beautiful then the pictures on the web. Very clean and beautiful. The owner is also a very nice person. I certainly will go back again. EXCELLENT!!

8.7

Pleasant,modest and nice hotel. It is a little far from Sorrento (15-20 minutes by the car upwards). Good service, not bad breakfasts. The personnel pleasant, ready to help. Gorgeous view with top on Sorrento. Rooms are purely cleaned also spacious.

8.4

Great place to stay if your on a budget. Friendly staff. About 10 minutes out of town. You need to decide if you want to be "downtown" or up above it all with a great view. They have a few parking places but, If you get in late, expect to squeeze in on the side of the road.

9.9

We had a cheaper room at La Terrazze but the view was still amazing. The hotel was great. We went to the farmhouse for dinner and that was the best dining experience in our whole trip of Italy!

9.4

Location is fantastic, the views across the bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius breathtaking. In our family room we had our own table and chairs on the balcony enabling a relaxing way of starting/finishing the day. The room was very clean, the kitchen well equipped, although some of the furniture is dated.Once stocked with food/drink,self catering is an easy option. The staff spoke English and were very helpful. We had a car and found difficulty in getting the right road from Sorrento, however once you know the way it is a 10 minute drive from town. The buses are very cheap-but be warned that a full bus will not stop for you. Day trips out are sometimes easier by public transport as parking can be expensive/difficult in towns.I would not hire a car again in Italy as congestion and driving standards do not make it a pleasure. Having no restaurant is a minor problem, but the staff will point you in the right direction, we were transported on our first night for a meal on the Farm.A pleasant experience to taste very local wine and food. We booked through Venere which included breakfast, some other sites this is extra. I reccomend this hotel for the views and service, you will not be disappointed, however if you wanted a night on the town it is a little remote.

Loved the place! Breathtaking view from their deck and the people are very helpful!

8.9

We stayed in an appartment with a beautifull view to Vesuv and Sorrento. Nice place to stay and I do recomend this hotel with lots of good restaurants close to the hotel. You may have problems with wheelchairs - many steps.

10

Very nice place, friendly employees, excellent view of Golfo de Napoles from the room and breakfast place. Highly recommendable

9.1

The only grumble we had concerns breakfast: the coffee/water/milk in the machine was never really hot, and the croissants could have been fresher. The biggest problem is finding the hotel (it's further from Sorrento than it appeared). But the accommodation is very good, and the view is stunning.

10

THE 4 PEOPLE IN OUR PARTY WERE VERY PLEASED WITH LA TERRAZZE, FRIENDLY HELPFUL STAFF, GREAT VIEWS OVER THE SORRENTO BAY, CLEAN SPACIOUS ROOMS. RECOMMENDED.

9.5

When we arrived at the property it was around 1:30 in the afternoon but the room was not ready. This was probably because it was off season and they had only half the property open. We had informed Mr. Antonio about our coming early. We had to wait until 3:30 to get the room. This was the only minor problem during our stay. Everything else was perfect. The view was wonderful. The rooms were very clean and spacious. On the day we left, the taxi we had booked for a 5:30 AM departure did not show up. However, the owner Mr. Antonio personally dropped us at the train station. That was really very nice of him! Excellent customer service! We highly recommend this hotel!

8.9

Definitely I recommend this hotel
