Hotel O Sole Mio

"Excellent small hotel, we found the hotel to be very well ran, from the 2 ladies on reception to the staff in the restaurant all were very attentive. Food at dinner very good, and the views from our room superb. We made good use of the hotel free shuttle service to sorrento."

"We stayed at O Sole Mio and it was most definitely not as expected. When we arrived we were greeted with a lovely, spacious and spotless room. This was a surprise as the hotel wasn’t the nicest from the outside. The staff are not the friendliest apart from the receptionists. Unfortunately, I need to point out the restaurant staff as they were quite unpleasant.I was shocked when I was informed that we were not allowed to order tap water.Additionally, when we were by the pool with our personal drink, a member of the staff rudely told us off and informed us that the only drinks and food that must be consumed at the hotel are ones bought from the overpriced bar. Please be aware when you book this hotel that the dinner is STRICTLY À La Carte unless you pay for something else.There is no buffet apart from an extremely limited ‘salad bar’.The menu is extremely limited especially for those who have dietary requirements or intolerances. If you are vegetarian, you only have one option each night which is an egg-based dish. One night this was uncooked (egg and sausage dish) so I had to eat in the local village. We are far from fussy eaters but it got to the point where we couldn’t even eat the food. Luckily there is a beautiful village called St. Agata which is a 10 minute walk from the hotel (roads are quite dangerous to walk on as there are no pavements) where we enjoyed some authentic Italian food with warmer hospitality and reasonable prices. The village is quite lively and the people are very nice and friendly. For breakfast at O Sole Mio there is a decent selection of pastries, with the croissants being the star of the show. However, there is still a very limited selection for a hot breakfast. They only do boiled eggs,scrambled egg (which swims in a pool of water) which wasn’t nice and greasy bacon,also the coffee isn’t nice at all. They do also serve a limited continental breakfast. The garden and pool area is very peaceful with a picturesque view. Another positive of this hotel is that it is very quiet so you can have a relaxing holiday. The best part of the hotel is the free shuttle service which takes you to Sorrento a few times a day which is very reliable and only a 20 minute drive. However, it would be nice if there was a later shuffle service to enable guests to indulge in the beautiful nightlife of Sorrento. There are plenty of opportunities to visit the beautiful neighbouring places, such as Positano, Amalfi and Capri by boat. I would only recommend this place if you book room only."

"Hotel O Solo Mio for service, care the best food and a good holiday is definitely the hotel for you. I recently stayed a week there on my own as I am recently widowed. The reception staff Candida and Veronica could not do enough for me they said as long as I was happy then they were too. The Restaurant staff headed by Tony were so attentive and the meals were truly first class. The hotel was meticulously clean. The rooms cleaned every day and nice big fluffy white towels changed every day. Breakfast was buffet style with plenty of choice and the restaurant staff were on hand to make sure you had everything you needed. I was a little apprehensive before the holiday but the care and attention of all the staff soon had me relaxing into one of the best of holidays."
