WOW what an amazing holiday. From the moment we arrived we were instantly relaxed. Two steps onto the beach, scorching weather, beautiful sea (although beware of the jellyfish as I was stung on our second to last day which was annoying!). The hotel staff were so friendly and attentive. Brothers Alessandro & Alfonso made sure that we had everything we... more

My two days in Massa Lubrense was the highlight of a two week trip across Italy. Having said this, I wish you good luck on the drive getting to Massa Lubrense. When I began researching places to stay on the Sorrento Peninsula, I was drawn to Hotel La Certosa as it was "off the beaten path," and appeared to be... more

If you are looking for adventure, don't go,if you are looking for night life do'nt go, but if you want to rest, an enjoy the good things of Italian life do go. The owners are the most warmhearted and friendly people you can imagine, they make you feel at home at once, the hotel is basic, rooms are spacy, bathroom... more

Our family stayed at villa certosa the second time. A small hotel directly on the rocky beach of marina del cantone. The location is a dream, especialy in May, later in summer it gets verry crowded. The Hotel is a tipical family run place. Nice, claen, bright rooms, very good food, cocked by the mother and doughter in low. Two... more

We loved this hotel and will be back as soon as we can. We stayed for one week in September and it was extremely relaxing. It is a quiet fishing village which can be difficult enough to get to. This is a bonus though as most of the tourist aren't aware of it yet. The beach is literally a few... more

This a great hotel. We have been twice. Firstly, the place. Set in an idyllic little (working) cove, it is quiet and very relaxing. With boat or bus links to all the major towns (Capri, Sorrento, Positano, Amailfi, etc) in the area, we got every where we needed to with ease. The beach is inches away from the hotel, and... more

Our stay here was a gift for our wedding. Before joining our tour group in Rome we briefly toured some parts of the Southern Italy. Hotel Certosa is just the right place as a hub when touring Sorrento, Pompeii and Amalfi Coast (although we ran out of time and skipped Amalfi). The distance was just right to unwind by riding... more

After much thought and research about how to experience the Almalfi Coast with young children I read the other reviews about Hotel Certosa and knew it was the place for our family. Set on a small rocky beach in a cove between Sorrento and Positano, is the Hotel La Certosa. The town is tiny but has plenty of good restaurants... more

La Certosa was a treat. It is on a small cove just outside of Sorrento. You can easily take a boat to Capri from there too. The rooms were great. We had a lovely balcony literally over the beach and the pier. The sunsets were amazing. Alfonso and his family were very friendly and took care of us. The food... more
