We stayed at the Hotel Capodimonte and after reading some of the reviews were a bit apprehensive to say the least, as although only staying for a week it was not a cheap holiday. Much to our relief we did not need to worry at all and had a great stay during our time there. Our flight was delayed which meant that we did not actually arrive at the hotel until about 10:30pm on the first night and the staff in the restaurant had stayed to make sure that we were able to have dinner. The quality of the food on that first evening was not good but this was not the standard that we had for the rest of the week. Any time we ate there the food although not the finest cuisine was of a good standard. We had upgraded our room and this is maybe why we had a really nice room, but did not hear any of the other guests complaining about theirs either. Our room was at the front of the hotel where there are the best views and yes we were above the road but I can honestly say this did not bother us at all even the couple of mornings that we had a lie in. The staff were very friendly and helpful, we had a problem with our toilet and I broke the door key in the lock and both times these were fixed within half an hour. This is a typical Italian hotel and if you want plush carpets and a modern surrounding this is not the place for you. We had a great holiday and will be recommending this hotel to friends who are going to Sorrento later in the year.
We are usually independant travellers and this was the first package holiday that we had booked for a number of years. We booked through First Choice and one thing we did find beneficial was the tour of the town that they do on the first morning. There is a bit of selling involved but not too in your face and was good to get your bearings if like us you have never been to Sorrento before. We did book one excursion to Pompeii and Vesuvius and were glad that we did this as it might have been difficult to do this without a car, and also the guide that we had was very good. Everything else we did on our own using public transport and saved quite a bit by doing so.
