Hotel Gardenia Sorrento

停在酒店停車場車被撞了，雖然忙前忙後幫着協調，但20歐的停車費堅決要收。到底是有多大臉？

We stayed for over a week at Hotel Gardenia Sorrento as part of our honeymoon, and we absolutely loved it. From the moment we arrived and we were given fresh glasses of lemonade from the trees in the garden (and a bottle of Prosecco to celebrate our honeymoon!) to the lovely staff who were so friendly and made our trip very memorable as they were helpful, chatty, and nothing was ever too much for them. It felt very much like home for the week. Special shout out to Emanuela on reception who gave us some great dinner recommendations and also helped my sister-in-law (all the way from England) organise a bottle of prosecco and red wine to be delivered as a surprise to our room while we were out for the day! Also, very sorry we never caught their names, but another shout out to the father and son (both who work there), the father who managed to get the English football on for my husband and sat chatting with us for a while in the lounge area while it was on. It was lovely to meet you both! Finally, the lovely lady who worked at the bar, making me the most amazing limoncello spritz, recommending my husband some lovely pale ales, and convincing me to eat up all the free bruschetta (it was delicious!) The room was great, clean and tidied every day, balcony got used daily, and the aircon was very much needed after a long day in the sun. Breakfast had lots of variety and items changed slightly every day so you never got bored of eating the same things! Cappuccinos each morning also went down a treat. Highlight for me is the pool access, we spent a whole day by the pool, having cocktails from the pool bar bought over to us all day! Just a tip for anyone going, drinks from the hotel bar can be charged to your room, but drinks or food from the pool bar has to be paid for then and there (before you leave the pool area) because the pool is technically the neighbouring hotel’s pool, so they cannot charge to Hotel Gardenia rooms. You cannot tell though, as it feels as if you are still in your own hotel as the pool bar staff are also very friendly! Location in general is great, a lovely 10/15 minute walk into the main Sorrento town and being on the main road it’s a simple walk straight down. It’s equal distance to Sant’Agnello (where I found my favourite little free beach) so if you’re getting the Circumvesuviana train from Naples or visiting Pompeii, you can get off at either the Sorrento station or Sant’Agnello station, it makes no difference to walking time. Overall I would rate Hotel Gardenia more than 5/5 if I could, and we are looking forward to retuning some time in the future with the rest of our family! Thank you again to all who made it a trip to remember. Harry & Ashlie.

It is hard to know where to stay in Sorrento with such a choice of accommodation but we were very pleased with the Hotel Gardenia. Very friendly staff and I would suggest going for the superior double rooms with a sea view at the back and on one of the higher floors if possible. Use of a good sized pool and bar and a bigger balcony than expected. Good for visiting different parts of Sorrento.
