Great private beach area, rooms were clean, excellent restaurant. Loved our private balcony overlooking the water with sunset views.

Small things about the room could have been better. For example, we were missing one side of the blackout curtains and when we asked and showed the concierge he tried to convince us that was just the style and not broken, but pictures of the same room on the website clearly show 2 curtains on either side. I need a dark room to sleep well in the mornings. The rain shower in the bathroom didn't work and the water pressure was quite low. The lack of carpet/furniture made the whole building very echoey, so the noise levels were sometimes loud. The hotel itself was quite isolated and hard to get to downtown Sorrento without a car, only real option is taxi which costs 40-50 euros one way.

Escaping the hectic of the Almalfi.peacefull. At other restaurants and beach.

The smell of the gutter in the room every day. Think its a town issue. Smelled it also in other places. But not so nice to come back and the whole room smells of gutter. The green light of the fire alarm in the room. Very bright. Even with eyes closed it flashes past like an ambulance. The noise of moving chairs of the cocktail bar above.

The views from the hotel were beautiful. The beach onsite was really nice, though a bit crowded. The staff was extremely helpful. The drove us to meet a tour group one day, and then drove us to the train station when we checked out. They were available by text to answer any questions we had and scheduled tours for us. The breakfast was ok, there were tons of delicious pastries and fresh fruit, but would have loved savory options besides the very runny eggs and uncooked bacon on the buffet.

The hotel was extremely noisy. 2 of the nights we were there, they rented out the top floor cocktail bar for private parties that had very loud disco music thumping until 1:30 in the morning. At 6am, they had a very loud zamboni type machine that they used to smooth the sand. You could hear guests in the other rooms, and doors slamming in the hallways. Additionally, our bathroom shower did not seal anywhere, so no matter where you pointed the nozzle, it leaked out all over the bathroom floor and we had to use all of our towels to mop it up.

Everything was simply perfect. Meta is a quiet place with significantly less tourist than Sorrento itself which was a relief for us, and Sorrento is 10min walking+5 minutes by train so can be reached anytime. The town and the hotel itself is on a beatiful place, looks even better than on the pictures here. The rooms are clean and of a tasteful mediterranean style, cleaned everyday if needed, has everything a hotel room should have (italian rooms also tend to have water boiler). Beds are confy too. AC is included in the price and is more than enough. Breakfast was good and their bar and restaurant is perfect, all the dishes were very good and pizza is excelent. The roof bar has a private party almost every evening but in most cases you still can go there, it finishes at midnight and the music isn’t disturbing even with clised windows. Prizes are normal Sorrentin Peninsula prizes. They clean their beach and its water all day if needed. You have to pay for the spot there but it was half the prize of that we had to pay in Amalfi. But still the best is the staff. Everyone was super friendly, taking care of us the whole time and making our stay better only with their personality and urbanity.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff were very friendly and efficient. The location is perfect, with awesome views, especially from our room, where we could watch the sea, the cliffs and the sunset over the beach. It was absolutely beautiful. The restaurant was excellent and all the services provided by the hotel were easily accessible and of high quality. Highly recommended!

In general, our stay was a great experience. If I had to mention one thing that could be improved, it would be the breakfast schedule. It ends at 10 AM, and it would be nice if it was extended a bit longer, maybe until 11 AM, to allow for a more relaxed morning.

Quiet location right on the water so there was a bit of a cool ocean breeze .Rooms were very comfortable and clean .Breakfast was excellent and had omelettes and bacon and eggs cooked fresh to order .But the standout feature of the hotel and the reason I gave it a 10 rating was the staff .They went out of their way to assist at all times .Not only did they pick us up from the station but the shuttle actually took me to the pharmacy when I was sick one day .In fact every time we wanted to do to the station the dropped us off and picked us up which saved us a lot of money

Nothing about the property at all. The only complaint I had was with the cruise along the Almalfi coast .We booked that through the hotel ( but I must stress that do not run it and are not responsible for how it is run ) We envisioned a leisurely cruise along the coast but this particular day it was raining and they sold way too many tickets .We were all crammed onto a rickety boat where there were not enough seats and a lot of people had to stand in very rough seas for the 2 hour trip .We couldn’t see out of the windows as they fogged up with that many people on board .Many were seasick as well .I know they can’t help the weather but I think you should expect a seat for that amount you pay .

This place is absolutely beautiful! We enjoyed our stay immensely. It’s very easy to reach, especially with the hotel offering complimentary transport from the train station, as well as a free shuttle service to Sorrento — something we didn’t expect and truly appreciated. The hotel staff were incredibly kind and professional — we are very grateful to them! Our room was simply spectacular: spotless clean with a magnificent view. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful, offering a great start to each day. The bar staff were also very friendly and welcoming, which made us feel right at home. Honestly, there’s nothing negative to say about this accommodation. It’s by far one of the nicest places we’ve stayed at so far — truly a wonderful surprise! We highly recommend it with complete confidence!

The hotel is located in a calm part of Meta-Sorrento, down near the sea, which we really appreciated. Especially in contrast to the busy Sorrento city centre. The location is a dream and the sunsets are truly stunning. At the same time it is easy to reach Meta train station (in 10min by free and convenient hotel shuttle always available, or in ca. 20-30min by feet). Just three stops with the cheap train (8min) and you are in Sorrento. The rooms and the hotel itself are very clean. The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful! They all speak english. I appreciated their initiative and approach when they offered to pick us up with the shuttle from the train station at night of our arrival. They helped us to plan and organize trips during our stay and they turned out to be great recommendations. The breakfast is great! You can order eggs prepared the way you like them, there is fresh fruit, salty stuff, great coffee even though it is from automatic coffee machine and a lot of great italian sweet pastry.

The shower is really small. And the water gets out on the bathroom floor really easily. This would not encourage us though to choose another hotel in this area - Hotel Giosue a mare is a great choice.

We had a lovely stay here back in March 2025! Everything from the attentive service to the amenities exceeded our expectations. Our room was spotless upon arrival, with a stunning view of the beach and a spacious balcony-it was a perfect spot to relax. Anytime we needed assistance, the staff responded promptly and courteously. From beginning to end, the service was exceptional as the staff were extremely accommodating and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. We also enjoyed a few visits to the hotel's terrace bar for drinks and light bites, which were so delicious we found ourselves returning more than once. The service there was excellent. The breakfast buffet in the main restaurant downstairs was another highlight, offering a nice variety to start the day. While the location felt a bit tucked away, the hotel offered a complimentary shuttle to and from the Meta train station which made getting around very smooth. The hotel is situated in a peaceful & serene location if you're looking to get away from the crowds/unwind, but it still isn't very far from the main city of Sorrento. Overall, we had a very pleasant experience and will be back!

We did experience some minor flooding from the shower after use, as water seeped into the bedroom through small gaps in the walls. However, it was manageable and didn’t cause much of an issue.

I had wonderful days staying at the Hotel Giosué a Maré! The view of the sea is simply spectacular, a true painting of nature. The staff is extremely attentive, with special mention to Valeria and Paschoal, who made all the difference in our experience, always with great friendliness and care. About the food: the hotel didn't promise anything... but delivered everything! Each meal was delicious, made with care and quality. It was an incredible stay, with great comfort, hospitality and good energy. Without a doubt, I recommend it and hope to return soon!
