Having been before to Sorrento and Amalfi coast we decided to stay somewhere away from the hustle and bustle. Meta is a quaint and lovely small town and palazzo Sassi did not disappoint. On arrival we were met and shown to our room the decor was beautiful and the palazzo has been well kept. Our room was large, spacious and a balcony overlooking lovely gardens there was also the option to spend time on the fantastic roof terrace with lovely views of the sea and mountains. The beach was a few minutes walk and here there were also lovely restaurants. An excellent bus service which takes you to neighbouring Sorrento and beyond picks you up outside and it is very regular until late at night. There is also the train station a short walk away. The staff were excellent they went over and above assisting us with arranging private transfers but a special mention to the lovely lady who looked after us each morning, the breakfast was a lovely continental typical Italian style and even on the odd day of a lie in she was offering to go make us coffee and get us some food, despite being well past the breakfast time, again another lovely touch. I would highly recommend this place when discovering the coast.

Nothing we loved everything

The room was very large as was the bathroom and the balcony was charming. The use of the elevator to bring baggage up was appreciated and we were served breakfast in our room on the balcony each morning. Susie was lovely and we found her cheerful and helpful. It was also across the street from a restaurant ,Tavernetta Cinquantotto, that provided the best meal we had in Italy. We also enjoyed the rooftop patio in the evenings where you could see the lights of the area.

The toilet seat was not connected properly and often shifted.

-Kind and friendly staff Saveria and her husband are a wonderful couple! They’ll make sure you have a great vacation and will give you the best tips -The breakfast area is cozy and the food options good enough to start the day -We got an upgrade and have the opportunity to enjoy a coffee in the private balcony with good view of the sunset

-There are not elevators to go to the rooms -We booked the room via Booking and it wasn’t the same option/pictures that we saw on the website Be sure to book the right choice! In the end we got an upgrade and the room was really good -The hotel is not in Sorrento downtown area; it’s located in “Meta”, which is about a 15 minute distance from Sorrento by train after you get to the Meta station. -The hot water wasn’t working one of the days -This is Italy, expect to go up and down a lot of stairs

Milena and Guisey are the most welcoming hosts! Milena reached out to us a week before we checked in, offering suggestions for local restaurants and making sure we're getting into Meta comfortably. She ensured we had all the information we needed and made sure we were happy and comfortable and always went above and beyond, even dropping small things off late at night! Guisey welcomed us to breakfast so warmly every morning, she felt like an aunt, making sure we were fed properly! Her beautiful and warm 'Good Mornings' and 'Have a Good day' (in Italian) were sure to set your day up well. We were hanging upstairs on the rooftop and she brought us some strawberries to enjoy. She was an absolute delight to see daily and we appreciated all of the effort both of the women went to to make our stay comfortable and wonderful. Location - If you don't want to stay in the overly populated area of Sorrento, Meta is the place to stay. We were a 7 min walk from the nearest train station and were 2 stops away from Sorrento. The bus to Positano/Amalfi goes past Meta also. This was a 9 min walk from the accommodation. Meta has the most beautiful sunsets, its own beaches and really great seafood restaurants along the water.

Nothing - we loved it here!

A beautiful property in a very good location in Meta. The hotel has very good transport links via bus to both the Meta station and to Sorrento proper via bus and train. Meta itself is underrated, the beach there and Tico Tico restaurant are wonderful. The hosts at Palazzo Sassi are fantastic, and couldn’t do enough for us. The room was nice, spacious, and very well furnished. With a lovely little balcony and street view. Breakfast was of the typical Italian style - Colazione dolce (sweet breakfast) - and was very enjoyable. Coffee was also very nice.

We had a room with a huge rooftop terrace facing the sea. The interior of the room was very nice and charming, with a small fridge. The bed was very comfortable and the views of the sunset amazing. Our host Saveria was so friendly, warmhearted and helpful. She gave us tips for hiking tours and prepared coffee every morning. I forgot my iPhone charger and she mailed it to our home address right on the next day after our departure. Thank you🙏🏼

The shower was a bit small and once in a while the traffic in the street was a bit noisy.

To start ... the breakfast was Very Good and the Capichino's were Excellent. Assunta made the Best one that I had tasted in Italy...!!! The Room was spacious and Very Clean. Maria and Assunta ensured that all you needs were answered. The Beach and a handful of Restaurants were only 10 minutes away by foot, and All the Restaurants we tried were Excellent. Tico & Tico, Lido Mare and The Golden Beach Restaurant were the Best in my opinion ... I would definitely recommend the Perfiterole with Chocholate ... Extremely Decadent... I forgot to mention ... there is a Cheese/Wine/Assorted Meats and wine Shop with Amazingly Friendly people that speak English, Only 4 doors down from the Hotel... The Only tip I have, would be to bring Water Beach Shoes for the Beach, as all the Beaches are small Lava Rocks...

Absolutely Nothing ... Everything we did, ate and Drank from Naples to Sorrento, Positano, The Amalfi Coast, & Revello ... was Excellent ... We have an Amazing Vacation.

Lovely accommodation in a little village - a short bus or train ride from Sorrento. Our hosts were responsive and helpful. We chose to stay here for its proximity to Sorrento (and Capri), as well as to Pompeii. Really enjoyed our stay. We dined at a fabulous restaurant down on the Meta foreshore - we enjoyed it so much we went back the following night..

Not a massive deal, but another Power point for charging devices would have been handy.

The room was large and clean. The building was beautiful and situated close to the beach and bus stop.The staff were friendly and nice.

The air conditioning was shut down at night. The fan would blow but the cooling was off. It was super hot, 99 degrees Faranheit, while we were there which made sleeping uncomfortable. Also, the hot water was very sparse at night as well. Showers were 90% cold.

Our room was wide and stylish, spacious and with all facilities. Fresh Italian style breakfast. Great location, just 5 mins walk from the beach. Saveria is top notch, she makes you feel like home and gives you a warm genuine service. She provides any tips about the area and she’s always ready to help for anything you need! Her cappuccino - the best in town :)
