I stayed at Hotel Ill Faro in Sorrento, Italy in August this year (2009). The Hotel was the worst we have ever stayed at, and made our overnight experiences in Sorrento unpleasant. Here is why: - We had lunch at the hotel's outside restaurant. There was a big old dog that wondered around near the tables and kept shaking and... more

In planning our Italy trip, Sorrento unfortunately got reduced in our schedule to that of a jump off point down the Amalfi Coast...and in such a situation, this hotel will work for that purpose since it's situated right next to the boat docks. That's about where it ends. If you come down there, be prepared with extra money for that... more

Well me and my school of around 40 people stayed in this hotel for 3 nights before heading to Rome. We were greeted and made very welcome. We got help with all our bags and were issued our rooms. Most of the rooms we were given had balconeys which overlook a bueatiful bay. The rooms were clean and cleaned everyday.... more

We loved this hotel. We could see Mount Vesuvius from our balcony!!!! As good as any expensive hotel view no doubt. We booked a double and ended up with a huge room with stairs up to a loft with two more rooms - perfect for a family. Great location right at the port to easily catch ferries to Amalfi, Capri,... more

We booked this hotel on internet earlier this year and thought it sounded nice. When we arrived we were positively surprised. The hotel maybe didn´t have the highest standard but the rooms had an acceptable comfort and it is romanticly situated at the harbour. The personel was friendly and helpsome and the local restuarant in, our view, was very good.... more

If I was to make a movie about a person who goes to stay at a terrible hotel ... I would stay at the Il Faro to research it. Otherwise, I would avoid this place. Anyone who has seen the movie the Money Pitt with Tom Hanks would be able to associate this hotel with the comedy in the movie.... more

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. Our room was clean, comfortable and spacious. The breakfast was very good and started early (7:30am) which allowed us to make the most of our days. The owner was very nice and his staff was very helpful. The ferries to Capri and other Amalfi towns are literally across the street. I more

We, a party of 4 people in 2 doubles, spent 4 nights at Hotel Il Faro in Sorrento, Italy between the 14th thru the 17th July. The experience was terrible. The hotel is old, not have been renewed for years and though it is offered as 3 stars hotel it would be equivalent to a youth hostel. Poor ambience, the... more

The air conditioning was hanging off the... more

Were just back from Italy having spent 2 weeks there. Traveled to Rome, Naples and Sorrento. We ran out of Naples (that's another story) and headed one hour south on the train to Sorrento. We had no hotel booked and checked out a few hotels with availability. We finally settled on IL Faro Hotel, Marina Piccola, Sorrento. When I say... more
