Hotel la Vue d'Or

Good stay

We did not actually have a booking here as the taxi driver could not find our accommodation which was 2 minutes from this sanctuary of a hotel. However he dropped us off at this wonderful hotel the reception staff were amazing and assisted us to contact our guest house and also made sure we were safe as this guest house was situated on top of hill. When we finally arrived at our accommodation it was late and we could not get a reservation for dinner anywhere. However the staff at this beautiful hotel made sure we had dinner that night. Which was amazing and we met the most amazing host in the restaurant Tony who was full of charm and kept us entertained we will endeavour to make a reservation for this wonderful hotel next time we are in Italy.

This was a wonderful place. Very clean and tidy. The staff were beyond fantastic. The mater de was an artist the way he ran the dining room. This hotel food is amazing! Their deserts you would eat from a truck stop bathroom floor. There is a donkey next door and he bayed every once in a while. He was sweet. He never interrupted sleep. The view was stunning. The Bay of Naples and Vesuvius are right in front of you. This is a higher mid-range hotel. It’s fully worth the rate. Spotless clean, sharp staff, amazing food.

The best hotel I have stayed in, it's family run and all the staff are warm, friendly and very caring. The views from the hotel are stunning, overlooking the Bay of Naples. I would certainly recommend this hotel to anyone. It will be a holiday to remember always.

Stayed here for a week in August. A stunning location, out of the main hustle and bustle of Sorrento itself, with views to die for. Ample parking - glad we had a hire car, although we did have the option of the free shuttle bus to and from Sorrento - we preferred going uphill further to Sant Agata - beautiful town with great restaurants. The hotel itself was dated inside but not without charm. The staff were fantastic and would do anything to make your visit great. Small, basic rooms, but with a balcony with unrivalled views. Maybe not advisable if you’re a light sleeper - lots of wildlife noises (donkey & cockerels!) The swimming pool and terraces were second to none. It all looks recently refurbished and the higher balcony offered plenty of sunbeds, beautiful views, and sunbed drinks service. The pool was stunning, with good jacuzzi to chill in, and plenty of shade late-afternoon (when you need it!). The concierge was very happy to assist with excursions - we booked a very reasonably priced boat trip up the Amalfi coast through them, with collection outside the hotel. If only we had ten days instead of two weeks! Would definitely return if we found ourselves in Sorrento again.

One of the most beautiful hotels we have stayed in. The staff are fantastic and extremely helpful. Tony in the restaurant made us feel welcome and made us laugh and smile every day. We were half board and the food was excellent. Reception staff couldn’t do enough for us when we asked for information about the local area. We would definitely return.

Great hotel with great facilities. Lovely spacious rooms with beautiful Italian tiles, and a big balcony, with a great view. The pool was great, and the staff were so friendly and helpful with everything from recommendations, bus tickets and what ever you need. Shuttle to the center was easy, being in the center of sorrento in 20 minutes. Lovely stay.

Perched high in the hills, the hotel has a fantastic view of the bay of Naples, Vesuvius, as well as overlooking Sorrento town. Access is via a winding road, which I would suggest only the bravest of drivers attempt to use. The corners are very sharp in sections and there are usually motorcycles flying around them. The hotel does have a car park opposite, which is free to use. I was on a package holiday with Tui, which comprised of Half board. This entailed breakfast and dinner. The staff are warm and engaging, there are a couple which are over bearing sometimes, especially at breakfast, but on the whole, they could not do enough for you. The hotel is clean throughout, and is very standard for Italian hotels in the region (dated). There were some signs of wear and tear, and some areas could do with modernising. I had to change room as my first room was not fit for purpose. The electric sockets were hanging out of the wall, the shower was dirty and leaked, the toilet seat was missing and there was blood on the linen. The second room was clean, although I think the issue is with plug sockets was a hotel issue, as I had the same issue. Rooms have a fridge, bathroom and usually two single beds, unless you ask for a double. An iron and ironing board is available from reception. There are no drink making facilities in the rooms. The hotel offers free transport to and from Sorrento, this changes throughout the day, so be sure you check the times. The drop in Sorrento is always the same, to get into Sorrento town, just cross the road and go down the steps. The road you come out on goes into the center (5 mins). The drop off is also 5 mins from the local bus and train station. For trips, local bus tickets can be purchased from reception if needed for trips to Amalfi or Positano. You cannot buy bus tickets onboard the bus. Breakfast was standard continental, very bland and not very fresh. Usually unused vegetables from the previous night were dished out, alongside tasteless cheese and meats. Coffee was very cheap (I checked the brand) and lacked full flavour. Being on half board meant I had dinner included. However, what I didn't realise was the standard of the food on the menu. You were presented with a menu in the morning and asked to chose your selection, which would be served between 7pm and 9pm. The quality of the food was mixed (see pics). Most of what I had tasted warmed up, flavourless and cheap (fried potatoes were rubbery). The service you received was also different to other guests who were on a la carte. It made you feel 2nd class. The staff were more attentive, offering wine menus and ensuring they had cloth napkins, when people on half board only got paper napkins. Also, the outside terrace was usually reserved for paying guests. Meal prices for paying guests range from €16 for pasta with clams to around €45 for steak. There is better food to be had in Sorrento. The pool area is a joke. The staff allow people

Beautiful view, around 15 min away from city centre. Nice offer with free shuttle bus, but it doesn’t run between 1-3 during daytime, and is often delayed by 10-15 min. Be aware that you need to have the ability to walk pretty high stairs to get in to the bus! Nice pool area, too bad that the hotel let guest come early in the morning with towels, and just leave them there all day at the sunbeds even though they’re not there. There’s always available subbeds on the roof, but these doesn't have any parasols or shadow. The rooms are pretty good standard, and air conditioning is good. You can’t hear any noise from outside - BUT the doors from the inside to the hallway is very bad isolated. Woke up really early due to sound from the staff, children running and the elevator.
