We spent two wonderful weeks in Sorrento, Italy. Our stay at the Hotel Vue D'Or helped to make this holiday so enjoyable. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Thankfully it isn't a great big Hotel and even the guests were friendly and chatted at meal times.

The Hotel provides a shuttle bus into Sorrento - this was our only complaint as it finished at 12.30 noon and didn't run again until 5.30 pm. The local buses (SITA) run past the Hotel though and only cost 2 euros pp - these run throughout the day. You can walk from the Hotel down into Sorrento (30 minutes) - walking shoes recommended - not suitable for those with any mobility problems and maybe small children. Coming back up this walk in the heat is a killer and we preferred to get the bus.

You can also walk into St Agata (20 minutes) which is a small but very Italian little town.

Would advise anyone not to book any of the tours with Travel Company as getting around Sorrento and tourists spots is very easy. Boats to Capri etc. leave from Sorrento harbour on a regular basis and cost between 20 to 29 euros each. The SITA bus also goes to most of the tourist areas - Amalfi, Ravello. We used the open top (red) sightseeing bus to do the Amalfi drive - stopping at Amalfi, Minori and Miaro (10 euros pp) then from Amalfi to Ravello (a must see) - 6 euros pp. Journey from Sorrento to Amalfi takes about an hour but we spent the whole day going between each town.

The train is also cheap to use - 3 euros pp and as long as you take note of your station you can get to Pompei easily and cheaply. Travel company charged 44 euros pp for this tour and we still have to pay to get into Pompei - rip off.

Sorrento is bustling and very friendly. Most Italians speak very good English. Beer was quite expensive in bars etc. - 6 - 7 euros a pint. Can eat very reasonably though and food was lovely.

Food at the Hotel, although maybe not fancy or 5* was very good and we always had plenty to eat. Continental breakfast was always enjoyable and again plenty to eat. Was dissapointed there were no tea/coffee making facilities in the room though.

Pool was clean and good size - it never got too busy. They also have sun terrace for true sun worshippers. Unlike many large Hotels in Italy, Hotel Vue D'Or did not charge for sun loungers.

Rooms were comfy and spotless - maids came in every day and towels were changed every day.

Would go back to this area and to this Hotel - the views were amazing. We didn't want to go home.

Whe staye in this hotl from 15-06 till 20-06.
Absolutely fabelous view this hotel have !!!!!!
The rooms are very clean en proper.
whe have had only breakfast, because there are a lot of very very good reataurants in and aroud Sorrento.
The staff is very friendly, they give us a very advice about the travelingtime to the airport to Naples.
But I can give you one advice !!!!, rent a car, because this hotel is above Sorrento ( great view) ,and you will see a lot more of the Amalficoast.
Hotel la Vue d'Or is a very nice hotel on a fantastic location.

Just returned from a weeks stay at La Vue D'Or Hotel in Sorrento, Italy, and we had a really great holiday.
The hotel is in a beautiful location about 15 minutes outside of Sorrento up the mountain side and it has fabulous views over the bay - with mount vesuvius straight in front of you.
The hotel itself is very clean and bright, we had a large room with a balcony overlooking the swimming pool and beyond that mountains - it was truly beautiful.
We had half board and we got to choose our table (which you keep for the whole week) - our table looked out on to a great mountain view.
There is a hotel mini bus that takes you back and forwards in to Sorrento every day, great service - but could do with more pick-ups in the afternoon ( one at 12.30, next one is not until 5.30), you can get a local bus up to hotel though.
All in all this is a really great hotel, very clean and tidy, staff are very very friendly and helpful, and it has fabulous views, this is a 3 star hotel with a 5 star feel.
This holiday was to celebrate our wedding anniversary and we thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone.

We stayed at this hotel toward the end of out Italy trip thsi past summer. We were coming from Positano and it was just a short bus ride and walk downhill from the actual stop. The hotel is located in the hills of Sorrento and not actually in the city center. There is a free shuttle that leaves from the front of the hotel multiple times daily and although they tell you its a 20 minute walk down it took us about an hour and a half... we may have taken a wrong turn but Italy time is a little longer... The hotel was clean and the rooms have little balconys overlooking the pool and sorrentos hills which are beautiful. The staff spoke great english and we among some of the most interesting characters I have ever met. The hotel had a snack bar with drinks and gelato that was open late every night. The owners had their very tempermental dog Billy hanging around every day which was cute and the bus driver was very helpful and took great care of us. The bartenders were very comical and friendly as well. I would most defintely stay at this hotel again. If you are taking the late shuttle back be careful because it is not large and could not fit all of the people so multiple trips had to be taken. The towels in the bathroom were the thin Italian style that do not dry you well so if you have the room bring a towel of your own.Sorrento is a wonderful and magical place and I can not wait to go back
