Palazzo Montefusco

I saw pics of the rooms before booking, but was still surprised at how spacious the room was in real life. The built-in sofa along the wall was perfect for lounging, the desk had ample room to work. Bathroom also very nice. Another highlight was the window, or, in my case, the balcony door: My room opened to a street below where crowds sang and talked until 2am (UEFA Cup week) but: ZERO sound with the window shut - excellent soundproofing! The lobby and breakfast area are in the first upper floor, and you enter via a courtyard between the hotel and the hustle and bustle of the pedestrian shopping alley. I liked the room so much I ended up extending my stay.

This is a hidden gem! The rooms are modern and well appointed. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom roomy (compared with many European bathrooms). Everything was crisp and clean. The front desk staff was immensely helpful - the gentleman who checked us in heard us downstairs, we were a bit lost, and he came to rescue us and helped carry our bags. The location of this hotel is in the heart of the tourist area, but somehow the hotel remains a peaceful getaway from the chaos on the streets below.

We have just stayed here as a family of 3 for 9 nights and really enjoyed Muntefusco. Communication via email before our arrival was excellent and helped with transport information, check in was really friendly, all members of staff we met were lovely and our room was very clean and tidy. Whilst a small hotel the rooms are very clean and spacious. There was 3 of us and we had plenty of space with our room on the side of the building which is probably quieter than the front. (You lose the view for less noise) Breakfast is limited in terms of content but is absolutely fine with everything you need and good coffee! Rooms were cleaned every day and the location is superb. We'd highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again. Small, clean, friendly staff and a great location. Thank you for looking after us

This guest house is centrally located, just a two minute walk from the Piazza Tasso, in the heart of Sorrento, with bustling night life and the best shopping in town right downstairs. The room itself is clean, recently refurbished with beautiful and modern conveniences, including efficient A/C and plenty of space. A small continental breakfast is included, served by a lovely lady who makes a wonderful cappuccino. The trickiest part about the Montefusco Relais is FINDING the place; the guest house is located along the Via San Cesareo on one side, and the Corso on the other. [Easiest way to get there: have a car/or taxi drop you next to the Restaurant Ercolano on the south edge of the Piazza Tasso; then walk 100 m down the pedestrian-only street.] Neither street permits car traffic, so you will have to pull your bag about 100 meters along the street to get to the hotel. The staff will helpfully assist you with your luggage, but you should be prepared for a 2 minute walk with luggage from the Piazza Tasso. We saw some negative reviews about noise from the night life below on the Corso – but it didn’t bother us! The rooms are well insulated, so little sound penetrated – and we loved the view from our balcony overlooking the Corso and its street life, and the fact that we could grab a late-evening drink in one of the many bars and cafes within a minute’s walking distance from the hotel. The best shopping in Sorrento, according to Fodor’s, is on the Via San Cesareo, right outside your hotel door! Sorrento is a remarkable and beautiful location as a home base for exploring nearby Pompeii, Vesuvius and the Amalfi Coast. We stayed here three nights, and were very happy with the clean accommodations, gracious service, and convenience to the very heart of Sorrento. We would return here again, and recommend it to you!
