Il Roseto

Just got back from a week staying here and I can’t recommend it highly enough. The family who run it are absolutely lovely, so welcoming, friendly, and extremely accommodating throughout our stay, even providing us with a bottle of Prosecco on our arrival. The location is perfect: peaceful and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of the town, but still only a 15/20-minute walk to the town centre – well worth it for the peace and quiet. Breakfast was lovely, served every morning, and the rooms were well decorated, with clean sheets and fresh towels provided daily. They also cleaned the pool each day, which was a lovely touch, and the pool bar was exactly what we needed – offering well priced refreshments and snacks for lunch.

The location is just outside the main town of Sorento, but an easy short walk. All of the staff were really welcoming and friendly, right there when you needed them and unobtrusive when you didn't, perfect hospitality. The room was excellent, a beautiful balcony view over the bay across to Mount Vesuvius, a really comfortable big bed, great air-conditioning, lovely shower, and perfectly made up every day by kind and polite staff. The breakfast each morning was ample, with fresh bread and pastries, fresh fruit, meats and cheese, perfect to set you up for a day of exploring Sorento. The pool area was also really tidy and well kept, with a kiosk selling drinks and ice cream, with simple but delicious warm and cold snacks through the day, staffed again by polite, friendly and attentive staff. We don't often like to go back to the same place again for holidays, in case it doesn't meet the same expectations second time around, but we both agreed, we would definitely go back to Il Roseto, as we have no doubt it be just as great.

This hotel well exceeded our expectations. Our room had a lovely balcony overlooking a garden and turtle enclosure. The pool area was much bigger than we had expected and we spent several days enjoying the quiet here. There was a poolside bar for drinks so it was easy to relax with a beer and enjoy the area. Breakfast in the garden had a great selection and hospitality. We were able to book a taxi through reception to take us down to the port when leaving. We also thought the location was great, probably about 20 minute walk to main town Sorrento but lots of bars etc on the way. The other direction into Sant'Agnello also offered some nice places to visit. We plan to book to return and stay again!

The pool was great for the time of year, the food for lunches was very well priced and very convenient. The room had everything you needed and it all worked as expected. There were cats and tortoises which were great for me and my partner as we love animals. The hosts made you feel as though you could ask for anything and were a great help on arrival and departure to ensure smooth transitions by helping arrange transfers and bringing us breakfast to take with us on our trip home.

The room was lovely and clean with air con and a fridge. Swimming in the pool was super relaxing. The breakfast was delicious and the location was quiet, safe and secure but within easy walking distance of Sorrento. We would love to come back to Il Roseto. Antonino was very helpful arranging private transfer for us from the airport, which is much cheaper than a taxi. A particular highlight for us was eating out at the restaurant in hotel Parco dei Principi. It's not far at all from Il roseto, about a 5-8 min walk. The views of the sun setting over the sea with Vesusvius in the background were spectacular. And the meal in the restaurant wasn't too pricey - 25 and 30 euros for a meal. We also visited Positano on the ferry which we loved and another day we went on the path of the gods hike (also loved this) and we did a boat trip to Anacapri and Capri.
