My Friend and I loved everything about this Hotel. The room was the large and very comfortable. The breakfast was delicious everyday we were there for a week. The Staff was outstanding. I found out it is Family owned and several of the family worked there. We even met the owner and she was a lovely Lady and very easy to speak to and so helpful. She was most days sitting in the Lobby. We felt like we were in a warm environment and well taken care of and safe. My friend and I still are talking about this Hotel and how much we loved Sorrento. We want to go back and if we did we would stay at the Hotel La Badia. I just can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay !!!!! Caio for now, Kathy & Caren

Nothing!

Great views from our room over the Bay of Naples towards Sorrento and Vesuvius Relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff Quiet and away from the noise of the town

No meals served in the evening so we walked down into Sorrento for them, which gave us a lots of choice. It was ok as it kept us fit and an acceptable trade off for the quietness and great views We could have taken the car down if we wanted but chose to walk.

The views …fabulous. The staff without exception friendly and always willing to help with any queries. The well equipped outside space including a lovely pool and gardens. The fact that our room and in fact the whole property was spotlessly clean. Good value for money with their food offer.

For the views the price to pay is a steep walk down to and up from the centre of Sorrento. My husband and I are 70 but pretty fit so it didn’t pose a problem for us but others may struggle a bit.

The hotel is set in a stunning location. We were so surprised when we got to our room which was huge, with a massive shower room. We had asked for a garden view but when we opened our little juliet balcony windows we had stunning views of the beautiful garden with the olive trees and a spectacular sea view. We had breakfast included. So each morning we had a gorgeous breakfast which included hams and cheese,eggs toast cereals a huge fruit salad, yoghurts croissants, a huge fruit collection and the most amazing cakes. The staff were all lovely. We really are grateful for everyone who made our stay so wonderful. The waiters the reception staff areand the behind the scenes staff who cleaned our rooms and left fresh towels while we were out enjoying our holiday. Thank you all for an amazing and truly wonderful holiday.

There was nothing to dislike.

I loved my 4 night stay at Hotel La Badia. For me the location was great. Having read the reviews and as a solo traveller I was a bit apprehensive about the walk down to Sorrento but it was super quick and easy, even managed it with my suitcase when leaving for the train station! Being around the pool was very relaxing. And there were so many different areas to be outside, I didnt get a chance to enjoy them all. The breakfast was excellent. The views of sunset were amazing. The staff were helpful and friendly and arranged a trip for me. There was a lovely gentleman Luigi who worked in the bar, seeing he was working always made me smile :) I would recommend this hotel to my friends (and tell them to order a Sorrento Sunrise cocktail from the bar 😋🍹)

Our stay at La Badia was like a dream! The hotel is beautiful and well decorated with antique furniture and lighting. It’s also very clean! The hotel is family owned and operated and sits on a beautiful lot with the most gorgeous views of the ocean and coastline of Sorrento. We enjoyed complementary breakfast in the terrace dining area every morning with the friendliest staff and yummy cornettos & cappuccino. The restaurant is also open for lunch and dinner as well as a full bar. We didn’t get a chance to enjoy the gardens with the 300 year old olive trees but we could see them from our room and the terrace. Wish I had a week to just sit and enjoy the views and atmosphere of the hotel but we had too much on our agenda for the few nights we were there. Hopefully one day we’ll be back! ❤️

Hotel is in a beautiful location with stunning views of the gulf of Naples. We chose a room with a view and woke up each morning to a view of the gulf and Mount Vesuvius. Staff were friendly. Hotel was clean throughout. Breakfast was good with excellent coffee and a good selection (including cake!). Stunning views of the sunset from the terrace. Excellent pool with plenty of sun loungers and parasols. The jasmine around the shower in the pool was a nice touch.

The trek from the main road via the ‘shortcut’ is tough, especially in the heat as it is mainly uphill. My only suggestion would be a a shuttle bus, even if only back up from Sorrento town a few times in the evenings, as the hill wasn’t pleasant after a meal! Taxis are extortionate and we didn’t have much luck with the buses.

All the staff were amazing, so friendly and helpful. Due to the elevated position of the hotel, the views of the sea, Sorrento and Mount Vesuvius were stunning. Definitely recommend getting a room with a sea view! The hotel itself is very traditional with many original features and has a homely feel to it, which adds to its charm. We had a room off the main flowered courtyard which was completely lovely, and for an added bonus there was a wee gecko on the wall at night. Do not expect a modern, slick hotel as you may be disappointed! In the evenings the surrounding area is very quiet and peaceful as you are well away from the busy town centre. The swimming pool is perfect with plenty of sun loungers. There were also some very thoughtful additions, jasmine flowers around the outdoor shower by the pool smelt wonderful and there are hammocks under the olive trees in a lovely shady, breezy spot which were delightful in the heat of the mid-day sun. Wide selection of choice for breakfast, including cereal, croissants, fresh fruit, yogurts, cold meats and cheese, breads etc.... and cakes! There is also tea, fresh coffee, fruit juices etc available. We ate dinner at the hotel on one evening which was very nice. Traditional, home cooked food which was better than some of the restaurants in Sorrento. The dinner menu changes daily so the "mains" selection is limited but you can ask to see the menu in the morning and make your decision to eat there or not. The hotel is located above the centre of Sorrento, so it only takes 10 minutes to walk into town, which is all down hill and very easy. The walk back is uphill and quite steep, and takes about 20 minutes. We stayed for a week with a family of 5 and had an brilliant time. Thank you so much to the team at La Badia for providing such a beautiful hotel and friendly service.

Any criticism would be purely pedantic as the positives outweigh any negatives. However, the hotel may want to consider upgrading the shower cubicles (or getting rid of them entirely and having wet rooms). Also, a selection of herbal teas for breakfast would be nice.

Beautiful, well maintained property with a stunning view. Helpful and friendly staff who go out of their way to take care of you and make your stay happy. Simple rooms, but super clean and comfortable with everything you need. Great breakfast, great pool. The aircon worked amazingly during the 35C+ weather. I liked being located out of the busy town, but it was a nice short walk to get down there. Would stay again!

If you’re arriving via the train the easiest and fastest option to reach the hotel is on the bus. Just be careful when you get off at the stop as the road is a little dicey if rolling your suitcase to the driveway. Otherwise the hotel team provided a few good alternative options to reach the hotel.

Hotel La Badia is a wonderful haven to appreciate the beauty of Sorrento after a busy day exploring. The staff are so friendly and helpful. It's small and feels intimate while still having privacy. We were very happy with our room just below the terrace. It rained on our first night and we ate in the restaurant, the food and wine were good and we certainly appreciated not having to go out for food that night. The pool is lovely, everything is clean. This hotel really made the trip. Also the shortcut is helpful and sure it's steep but it's not that bad!! The rewards are stunning views and serenity!

For a 3 star hotel I can't fault it.
