Chose this hotel following reviews and confirmation with a trip advisor member. It lived up to all our expectations. The staff were very interested in our visit (eldest sons wedding in the Cloisters - a fantastic experience). We had a total of twelve staying there, for differing lengths of time. The staff were interested in our days out etc. (but not intrusive) and keep the hotel clean,and very welcoming. Fantastic views from the back rooms (we had No. 48), beautifully clean pool and garden area.

The breakfast was lovely - lots of choice, and a never ending supply too!

A good 15-20 min walk to town, but that helps work off the calories inthe food and drink!

All in all a highly recommended hotel, and when we return to Sorrento we will certainly stay there again.

If you are thinking of visiting Sorrento then look no further for booking your hotel than the Girosole. Its comfortable, reasonably priced and from the moment you walk through the doors to the time that you leave, you are looked after as if you are one of the family. The rooms are quite spacious clean and serviced every day,and when you book be sure to ask for a room with a view over the Bay of Naples, you won't be dissapointed! It has a lovely pool and all around are the lemon and orange groves and the unbeleivably large grapefruits. The staff are marvelous, ask any question of them and they will strive to answer and help you with a smile. Don't hesitate, book now !! you won't regret it.

We had a brief stay in Sorrento and stayed at the Hotel Girasole on the recommendation of a friend.
We found it a very nice place to stay. The staff was pleasant and the rooms were comfortable. The pool and the area around it were very relaxing and quiet.
It is a 10 minute walk from the town center on a busy road with a narrow sidewalk and sometimes no sidewalk at all.
However, the hotel is quiet and the views from the rooms on the back of the hotel are beautiful.
They have a nice breakfast buffet as well.

Drawbacks: pool closes at 7pm, so no late night swim.
No dinner service.
But, that's minor.
We enjoyed our stay very much and wished we'd had more time to just relax by the pool during the day.
Ah, next time.

Spent 4 nights as part of a longer summer holiday. Staff were lovely, very helpful, room and all the facilities were clean, pool was well kept with a nice mix of families, couples and groups of friends relaxing by it. Plenty of sun to be had!

Great location, with all the connections to Naples and the Amalfi coast - much easier than staying in Amalfi or Positana. Can't recommend it enough.
