We have just returned from having one week in sorrento staying at the Hotel Del La Ville, The hotel is situated well within walking reach to everything, This hotel is really well managed and the food is amazing, Enzo makes everyone feel very welcome all of the staff here really go out of their way to ensure you have a fab holiday. We had a great room full sea view which was not expected as we only booked a part sea view! emailed the hotel prior to staying and we was upgraded for free ! Room 529! , Can recommend you go to the welcome meeting if you have booked a package holiday however after speaking to other people staying at the hotel I would recommend you do not take their excursions complete rip off ! you can do these tours easily for less than half the price by using their bus service or the trains which are both good, If I was to moan about anything it would be your bill at the end of your stay would recommend you check this as us and other visitors to this hotel was over charged on the bar bill, you cannot use cash in the hotel you order and give your room number we ended up being over charged by 35 Euros and others upto 60 Euros, Other than that we had a perfect holiday and would recommend this hotel to others .

we stayed here for 7 days and they all were marvellous.
the room was clean and lovely and the view was superb.
the food was varied and great. the staff were very friendly and could not have been more helpful. a great hotel for all ages and would recomend it to anyone.

From the moment we arrived everything was perfect! Our flight had been delayed so we booked in and went straight in for dinner. This is usually our biggest problem as we are all vegetarian - no probelms here. Enzo explained that we could look through the menus each morning and order ready for that evening which was such a relief for us. The room was very comfortable and clean with maid service every day. All the hotal staff were very frindlt. We loved the hotal and loved Sorrento!

Ok, let's get a couple of negatives out of the way:

1. As mentioned earlier, could have done with tea making facilities in the room.
2. I thought it was a bit mean to charge 6 euros for key to change code on room safe.
3. Noisy bin men etc early in morning (more on this later)

Do NOT let any of this put you off, just be aware before you book.

This is an excellent hotel, scrupulously clean, comfortable and with the best staff ever. The food is good and wholesome and well presented by Enzo the Maitre'd and his team. They really are a friendly and entertaining bunch, and nothing was too much trouble. The hotel is in an excellent location and only 5 mins walk to all ameneties and the main square.

If you want to see Vesuvius every morning when you wake up, make sure you get a room from 4th floor up, preferably to the right (as you look out from hotel) It really is a stunning view and changes according to time of day and Naples smog conditions. Having a front room is not all heaven. It can be very noisy out front. I doubt you could have balcony door open all night as the noise from scooters, cars, people etc can be quite intrusive. A number of times, early morning bin men arrived out front to empty those big 1000 litre wheely bins close by. They crash and bash them about and it really booms out.

My bar bill for a week was 240 euros, that included 4 bottles of decent vino (Falanghina Villa Matilde) a couple of lunches for two, coffee every evening and most afternoons, some post dinner Grappa, some soft drinks around the pool, mineral water with dinner etc. Not unreasonable for me, but I was not on a tight budget. You can make a daily check on your bar tab if you like via reception.

Almost forgot to mention....flipping good breakfast! Everything there from fruit, cereal, pastries, cakes, breads, cold cuts, cheeses, pickles (yuk!) scrambled eggs, omelettes, bacon, sausages etc etc.

Please go there. It really is excellent. We will return, and we cannot wait. Don't be tight, leave a decent tip. The guys there have to find other jobs from end of October as the hotel is seasonal and they have to travel quite far afield out of season.
