Grand Hotel Vesuvio

"​We recently stayed at the Grand Hotel Vesuvio and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. ​The staff are amazing—everyone from reception to the restaurant team went out of their way to be warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful throughout our stay. ​Our room was spotless, comfortable, and had plenty of storage space. ​The pool area is fantastic—very clean and spacious, and we loved that there were always plenty of free sunbeds available whenever we wanted to relax after a day of sightseeing. ​We were also very impressed with the food. Every meal we had was delicious, offering a great variety of fresh, quality options. ​While the hotel sits up in the hills overlooking the bay, the shuttle bus service into the town center is exceptionally reliable. ​We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!"

"This hotel was all about the view for us. We had booked a room with a sea view and it was definitely worth it. We normally stay at small family run hotels so this was a change for us but overall this hotel didn't disappoint. Our room was bright and spacious and the pool is a very good size with plenty of sunbeds and when we did spend time around the pool it was nice to have the quieter garden area with sunbeds at the front of the hotel but with easy access to the pool. We did not have any complaints about the food overall. There was plenty of choice at breakfast and a four course meal in the evening except for the two evenings when there was a buffet. The waiters were great and very attentive. We would agree with some earlier reviews that mention the chipped crockery (salad bowls in the evening) which we do not think is acceptable in any hotel and we also had a bathroom door that did not shut properly and a shaving mirror that was not well fixed to the wall but these were minor issues overall and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Grand Hotel Vesuvio. Sorrento is a good base to explore the Amalfi coast. We spent a day and two mornings exploring Sorrento - the shops, Marina Grande harbour, the view of the Bay of Naples from the Villa Communale park is a definite must see and enjoying an iced cold latte whilst people watching. The free shuttle bus from the hotel was very welcome and we never had any difficulty getting a seat on this despite it being the high season. We would also recommend boat trips to Amalfi/Positana and Capri/Anacapri - all very busy but the views are beautiful especially from Capri/Anacapri - chairlift is a must in Anacapri if you do not have a fear of heights. We would also recommend the day excursion to Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius - its a tough climb to the top of Mount Vesuvius but worth it for the view of Naples and the crater itself. We had a very enjoyable week in Sorrento and the Grand Vesuvio was a good base for our stay."

"my partner and teenage daughter shared a triple room on the third floor. The room was lovely and spacious with a balcony overlooking Mount Vesuvius. Roll down metal lock door that doubles as blackout blind. Smart TV so you can log in to your netflix or prime. A stocked minibar and locksafe. Plenty cupboard space to unpack. powerful shower. Noisy kids next door but didnt really hear them much. The food was lovely and priced pretty much same as you get in Scotland for drinks, and food. Our included meals were breakfast and dinner and gives you lots to choose from. The staff were friendly and helpful the entire time and couldnt do enough for you. There was live music every evening, nice background music and wind down to the day. The free shuttle bus was great into the town and back just a 10min drive, not really walkable as there are not pavements on the hilly windy road and lots of buses, so definately taxi or bus it. Taxis were 30 Euro one way to town, so worth seeing if someone in the hotel is going on the same tour and share with them as most day tours start early like 8am and buses only start after 9am. There is an ATM in the hotel but they are dotted all over the town as well. The pool was great, busy but always managed to find a lounger. Would definately recommend this hotel to anyone travelling to Sorrento."
