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.

Lovely front facing room on a fantastic balcony. Great views of Ischia and Naples. It was spotlessly clean with modern furnishings and a nice bathroom. The staff are very friendly, especially Maria on the front desk and Julio who seemed to do most of the driving for the hotel who offer the good courtesy shuttle to the station (which is only six minutes from Sorento) or to Sorento itself. We took the train to Naples, Sorento and Herculaneum. It's cheap and frequent but busy. You may have to stand. Public bus to Sorrento runs every 20 mins, stops just down the road and is only 2 Euros to Sorento. The walk through Meta to the station is quite steep. There is a lift from the main beach up to the road (by the bus stop). The hotel restaurant is good for dinner and lunch (along with the beach bar) and breakfast was also good with cooked options and more cakes than I have ever seen. Breakfast and dinner waiting team were also very friendly and helpful. Meta is an authentic Italian Amalfi town, not a tourist trap like Sorento. The people are friendly and there are some great restaurants too. Try Tico Tico for authentic family Italian or Tavernetta58 for some of the best fine dining I have ever had and at a very reasonable price. If Tavernatta58 was anywhere else it would be packed out. Try it if you like fine dining/tasting menus. There is a great wine shop and a cheese opposite here too. The rooftop bar is great. It was open every evening without issue. I should comment on the noise that some other reviews mention. There was a function on when we stayed. It was noisy and went on til 1am but it was a well run, good value event. At least the hotel was trying something and they need to make money after all. The general sound proofing could be a bit better but I guess that's down to the age of the building but the double glazing is excellent. We took ear plugs. The music didn't bother us but if it is likely to be an issue for you, ask for a room on a lower...

A very minor point but I think £20 a day for 2 sun beds is a bit steep, especially for families. Perhaps they could introduce a lower charge later in the afternoon. The sand is cleaned daily however and there's a nice beach bar. A kingfisher visits the rocks first thing! Look out for it.

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.

Beautiful hotel with private beach. Spotlessly clean, well maintained and stylish. Many room have fabulous views. The on-site restaurant is good. There are other places in the same cove to eat. Roof top bar which is open in the summer has stunning sunset views. We had a big, confusing group and the hotel front desk staff patiently solved everyone’s problems. They were great and helpful. I loved this hotel, and would definitely stay again.

The minor downside is location. The private beach means that you are the bottom of a hill with 85 steps. There is a local bus to the Circumvesuviana train station which comes every 15 minutes, the hotel sometimes has a shuttle available, or it is a 20 minute walk. The train goes to Naples (1 hour 15 minutes), Pompei (1 hour) and Sorrento (30 minutes). There is on-site parking. These issues are a worthwhile trade-off, making this a great trade-off in value for money.

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.

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.

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.
