Rota Suites

Beautiful modern air conditioned Apartment block, located 5 mins walking distance from main part of Sorrento. Easy walk to local bars, food shops, and large supermarket. Excellent local family restaurant close by if you want something really authentic. Side street slightly noisy (scooters etc, as in all Italian resorts, but no problem, and once electric window shutters are closed at night we slept perfectly) Clean self catering Apartments with everything you need. Very comfortable king size bed, we have never slept so well. Twin property with the luxury Grand Hotel Riviera so standards are very high. We much prefer a s/c apartment and living like a local, instead of sterile Hotels that can be some distance away from town. Sorrento area tips - Town is large, easily walkable, clean and feels very safe. Pompeii - get a guided half day or full day tour to get the best out of it and know what you are looking at. Rather than use the crowded buses, and congested coast road, or trains, we mostly used the excellent regular ferry services from Sorrento Port. Also gives you beautiful views of the Bay of Naples and Amalfi Coast not visible from land. There are steep steps down to Sorrento Port, (not too bad going down we found) and if needed a public lift is also available in the Gardens at about 1 euro 20 cents / person. We did the steps down and lift back ...... it is possible to visit Capri (get an early start guided tour to get ahead of the crowds and get the best experience) Also try and use the ferry services for day trips to Amalfi, Positano, and Naples. Naples - despite its dodgy reputation, its large main shopping street and 1 street back are ok, and vibrant Naples is well worth a visit. Side street Pizza restaurants etc are superb, but be very aware and sensible where you go to, and be very careful with shoulder bags and of risk of theft and pickpockets etc. We went on a Sunday and it was nicely busy, edgy and great fun. Train is also an option and very cheap, but often crowded and slow. We had a nice afternoon in the small town of Vico Equense (20 mins, only 5 stops from Sorrento ). Lovely local bakeries and restaurants (Tigabelas is excellent for home made Pizzas, etc) and lovely Ice cream Parlour in the main square.

Hotel Rota Suites did not disappoint. The rooms are spacious enough for three people. Someone is always available at the front desk, day and night, and they are all friendly and helpful and offer many recommendations. The location is fantastic and we could easily walk to the beach, old town and marina grande area. It is also easy to walk to the bus/train terminal if you plan day trips from Sorrento. There is also a small cafe/bar next door that is reasonably priced. Our only complaint would be that the room isn’t cleaned every day, but every other day. Would definitely stay here during our next visit to Sorrento!

Rooms are astronomical. They are big enough for a family of 4 and they are really modern and luxurious
