Hotel Gardenia Sorrento Ascend Hotel Collection

"We stayed at Hotel Gardenia for four nights while exploring Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast — it was also our first trip to Italy. The hotel was absolutely perfect for our needs! The location is excellent — just a 10-minute walk from the main square, so close enough to everything but far enough to enjoy peace and quiet. Our room was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had a lovely modern bathroom with a great hot shower. The bed was honestly one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept on! All of the staff we met were exceptional — so warm, friendly, and eager to make our stay enjoyable. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, everyone went out of their way to help us. The food was another highlight. Everything is home-cooked and authentically Italian, with a nice touch of antipasti available for guests in the evening. Breakfast was delicious and fresh, with plenty of variety. The staff were quick to replenish items and took coffee orders right at the table with no delay. On mornings when we had early excursions, they were happy to help us pack a take-away breakfast. Sorrento in general had so many authentic restaurants and despite lots of tourists has kept its Italian charm. We also booked a few tours directly through the hotel, which were conveniently priced the same as local operators but included pick-up right outside the door. We highly recommend the boat tour to Amalfi and Positano! From the hotel, we easily explored Pompeii, Mount Vesuvius, and the Path of the Gods as well. Highly recommend a pasta cooking lesson and food tour as well! Hotel Gardenia is truly a gem — perfectly located for discovering Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast, definitely feel we chose the right location after visiting some of the other towns that were heaving with tourists and quite small. But what really makes it special is the wonderful staff (and those amazingly comfortable beds!). We wouldn’t hesitate to return. Thank you to everyone at Hotel Gardenia for making our stay so memorable!"
