My Friend and I loved everything about this Hotel. The room was the large and very comfortable. The breakfast was delicious everyday we were there for a week. The Staff was outstanding. I found out it is Family owned and several of the family worked there. We even met the owner and she was a lovely Lady and very easy to speak to and so helpful. She was most days sitting in the Lobby. We felt like we were in a warm environment and well taken care of and safe. My friend and I still are talking about this Hotel and how much we loved Sorrento. We want to go back and if we did we would stay at the Hotel La Badia. I just can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay !!!!! Caio for now, Kathy & Caren

Nothing!

I loved my 4 night stay at Hotel La Badia. For me the location was great. Having read the reviews and as a solo traveller I was a bit apprehensive about the walk down to Sorrento but it was super quick and easy, even managed it with my suitcase when leaving for the train station! Being around the pool was very relaxing. And there were so many different areas to be outside, I didnt get a chance to enjoy them all. The breakfast was excellent. The views of sunset were amazing. The staff were helpful and friendly and arranged a trip for me. There was a lovely gentleman Luigi who worked in the bar, seeing he was working always made me smile :) I would recommend this hotel to my friends (and tell them to order a Sorrento Sunrise cocktail from the bar 😋🍹)

Great views from our room over the Bay of Naples towards Sorrento and Vesuvius Relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff Quiet and away from the noise of the town

No meals served in the evening so we walked down into Sorrento for them, which gave us a lots of choice. It was ok as it kept us fit and an acceptable trade off for the quietness and great views We could have taken the car down if we wanted but chose to walk.

Hotel is in a beautiful location with stunning views of the gulf of Naples. We chose a room with a view and woke up each morning to a view of the gulf and Mount Vesuvius. Staff were friendly. Hotel was clean throughout. Breakfast was good with excellent coffee and a good selection (including cake!). Stunning views of the sunset from the terrace. Excellent pool with plenty of sun loungers and parasols. The jasmine around the shower in the pool was a nice touch.

The trek from the main road via the ‘shortcut’ is tough, especially in the heat as it is mainly uphill. My only suggestion would be a a shuttle bus, even if only back up from Sorrento town a few times in the evenings, as the hill wasn’t pleasant after a meal! Taxis are extortionate and we didn’t have much luck with the buses.

All the staff were amazing, so friendly and helpful. Due to the elevated position of the hotel, the views of the sea, Sorrento and Mount Vesuvius were stunning. Definitely recommend getting a room with a sea view! The hotel itself is very traditional with many original features and has a homely feel to it, which adds to its charm. We had a room off the main flowered courtyard which was completely lovely, and for an added bonus there was a wee gecko on the wall at night. Do not expect a modern, slick hotel as you may be disappointed! In the evenings the surrounding area is very quiet and peaceful as you are well away from the busy town centre. The swimming pool is perfect with plenty of sun loungers. There were also some very thoughtful additions, jasmine flowers around the outdoor shower by the pool smelt wonderful and there are hammocks under the olive trees in a lovely shady, breezy spot which were delightful in the heat of the mid-day sun. Wide selection of choice for breakfast, including cereal, croissants, fresh fruit, yogurts, cold meats and cheese, breads etc.... and cakes! There is also tea, fresh coffee, fruit juices etc available. We ate dinner at the hotel on one evening which was very nice. Traditional, home cooked food which was better than some of the restaurants in Sorrento. The dinner menu changes daily so the "mains" selection is limited but you can ask to see the menu in the morning and make your decision to eat there or not. The hotel is located above the centre of Sorrento, so it only takes 10 minutes to walk into town, which is all down hill and very easy. The walk back is uphill and quite steep, and takes about 20 minutes. We stayed for a week with a family of 5 and had an brilliant time. Thank you so much to the team at La Badia for providing such a beautiful hotel and friendly service.

Any criticism would be purely pedantic as the positives outweigh any negatives. However, the hotel may want to consider upgrading the shower cubicles (or getting rid of them entirely and having wet rooms). Also, a selection of herbal teas for breakfast would be nice.

The views amazing, little family owned hotel who couldn't do enough to make out stay perfect. The care taken to the surrounding areas of the hotel was beautiful, breakfast was plenty and tasty for continental. We would definitely think about a return visit. We had a window view from our room. However the hotel as a balcony on the first floor perfect for evening drinks. Excellent value for money.

This hotel is high up the hills, giving a 360 view vantage, the transport is plenty (bus/taxi) but the walk back up although easy, in the heat it can feel grueling maybe for people with good fitness and mobility only for the up hill.

Beautiful hotel and surroundings with some of the best views over Sorrento! Very warm and welcoming on arrival. Had a lovely room with a wonderful view, lovely and clean, great shower and comfy bed! Breakfast was great and the staff all around were super helpful. Happy to help with organising trips, booking taxis and gave some really great restaurant recommendations too! Really enjoyed the pool area, found it very relaxing. Short walk down into town and the walk back up not too bad either, actually quite nice to be a little bit out of town. Couldn’t fault anything about the hotel at all and would definitely come back :)

Nothing :)

The setting was breathtakingly beautiful. Our view was of the Sorrento hillside and the Mediterranean. Our room was superb! The staff is very friendly and so helpful. The owner is a gracious woman who is so welcoming to all of her guests. She gave us tips on getting to Pompeii (by train, not by car). And gave us a warm send off when we left. I truly was sad to leave! The grounds or this hotel are so park like, beautiful views, tables and chairs to enjoy a bottle of wine. And numerous hammocks to relax in the shade while a warm Mediterranean breeze swings you to sleep. This is a Roman Gods paradise!

It is paradise! Nothing to dislike! Around every turn is a stunning vista.there are flowering plants, fruit trees, and the most spectacular sunsets.

The setting and views were beautiful, the hotel is a bit out of town so it was nice to go back to the peace after the July crowds of Sorrento and surrounding Amalfi towns. We hired a car and had no trouble finding car parking in one of the numerous car parks in Sorrento although you could walk to and from Sorrento but in the heat it is a hard walk back up hill. We stayed in room 33 and it was what you would expect from a 3 star hotel, a bit dated, but comfortable, however it was very spacious and the balcony was really big with two chairs and a table as well as 2 sun loungers with a lovely sea view. The breakfast was basic, tea/coffee, cartons of juice, yogurt, cereal, fruit, pastries, toast and some cheese & meats, there is a lovely view from the terrace while you eat. We didn't have any other meals so can't comment on lunch or dinner. The pool area was lovely and staff were attentive bringing drinks from the bar. All of the staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful and able to answer any questions we had about the local area.

This place was just beautiful. It has the most amazing views overlooking Sorrento and has relaxing gardens to just sit and relax and watch the evening sunset on the balcony, sipping a glass of wine or two. The hotel is spotlessly clean. It is a family run hotel, they are all very proud of it, and so they should be. It's just perfect. They made us feel very welcome, so helpful too, they organised our trips to Capri and Pompei. It's just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Sorrento, with a short walk into town of an evening for a lovely meal. Be aware that the walk back to the hotel from town is up a steep hill, not for anyone with mobility issues unless you're going to drive.

There was nothing I didn't like, only the fact we had to leave.
