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

After spending a wonderful two weeks touring around italy i was waiting for the bubble to burst. Hotel Il Faro certainly took care of that. Oh my god it was the worst hotel we stayed in for our entire holiday. Firstly we were advised by our travel agent that we would have no parking costs. Wrong...$20 euro / night was... more

Having spent two weeks touring Italy, staying in 5 different hotels this was quite the worst hotel I have ever come across anywhere, ever! Most Hotels have some redeeming feature, even when generally poor. The only redeeming feature of this hotel is that it is very convenient for the harbour. The room was so small that I slept less than... more

After studying several hotels in Italy and not wanting the typical glass and metal hotels you can experience in the US, we decided on the IL Faro. What a delight. We wanted to experience old Italy in an older hotel that had lots of history and personality. We were not disappointed. The IL Faro was once the Harbor Masters House,... more

We had an excellent time at Il Faro. We were in a triple room for 5 nights with a balcony facing the marina. We ate in their Tavern 4 of our 5 nights. They were very friendly; the food excellent with tasty and creatively simple desserts. The breakfasts are average with little protein, however, they did give us each a... more
