Grand Hotel Aminta

A beautiful hotel set up.high with beautiful views of Vesuvius. Lovely swimming pool and sunbed area with attentive staff. Breakfast was good, but too many cakes and pastries for myself, I would have preferred more savoury options. Staff were good. Room was airy and clean. Beautiful view. Good air conditioning. But make sure you book the annex. A lot more modern. Bar is expensive. We would revisit this hotel.

This hotel sits on top with an amazing view! Few things to consider taxis are $35 euros (cash or card for fee) but if you call and ask there is a shuttle that operates from 9AM to 11PM to go to town. To come up is starts at 9:30 AM. So if you fly into Naples take train there to Sorrento is $5 euros. You can walk up the street to parking lot where shuttle drops off and picks up. The hotel has free breakfast 7am-10am, loved the choices, nightly dinner with gorgeous view with reservations 7-9:30 pm every night. The rooms are very comfortable and the view is truly breathtaking. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly definitely recommend!!!

Overall this hotel is excellent. The whole hotel is spotless and beautifully appointed. All the staff are superb (special mention for all the restaurant and bar staff) The dining room and outside terrace are fantastic and the food is excellent, although a little expensive (having written that with the beautiful surroundings and superb service I think this is to be expected - you get what you pay for is the saying). The hotel is quite high up which leads it to having superb views of Mount Vesuvius, the Bay of Naples and the surrounding areas but is also a little inaccessible other than by taxi, bus or the complimentary hourly shuttle which is laid on by the hotel. The shuttle drivers were very friendly and helpful, however the shuttle only holds 20 people and sometimes everyone couldn't fit on or some people were standing which was a little uncomfortable going around all the curvy bends in the narrow roads, also not ideal for a tall guy like me. (I'd suggest a second or bigger shuttle). The pool is beautiful and always clean with sunbeds and brollies always available any time of day, a special mention for Nello, the pool guy, who greeted us with a smile and towels every day and even moved the brolly around to give us sun or shade. I'd fully recommend this fantastic hotel for adults and older children who are good swimmers (the pool is accessible by steps in a small shallow end but quickly becomes very deep with no exit ladders in the deep end).

The Staff was so lovely and accommodating. Great breakfast buffet and the views from the hotel are amazing!!!
