Grand Hotel La Pace

“Great hotel”

When we first arrived the reception area was stunning, It was hard not to just stand there open mouthed… we found this hotel to be very authentic, it had an Italian aura which was very soothing. The room was very nice and clean ( this for me was important), yes we had a bed that where two singles pushed together but we didn’t find it hard to sleep next to each other, the view out the window was of a derelict building but we never found any issue with this, as we never paid for a room with a view, but in fact it turned out really well as we couldn’t hear any traffic and was quite quiet. The food was good and catered for our dietary requirements as we are really awkward with our intolerances. The maitre d’ couldn’t of been any more helpful if they wanted to be, the serving staff we found to be very serious in what they do, not rude, but still very helpful… The hotel is on a slight hill about 10 min walk from the main road, 12-13 min walk from the train station and 30 mins from Sorrento where we went on a free guided walk.

After reading so many mixed reviews we were a little apprehensive about what to expect. The main entrance is stunning and definitely makes an impact. We arrived at lunch time and were informed lunch would be served on the pool terrace. Views are beautiful. Our room was ready early so we were allowed to check straight in. Rooms are classic vintage Italian style. I think this is where people are going wrong. Don’t expect modern and beige. But they are clean and functional and have charm to them. The bed is two singles pushed together but barely any movement and perfectly fine for a couple to share. Housekeeping turn down the beds and clean every day. Bottled water, hot drink facilities, fresh towels and pool towels provided daily. If you don’t pay for a sea view it’s pointless complaining about your view. We had an old building opposite that was empty and run down but not ugly and the bonus was we couldn’t hear any of the mopeds coming up or down the hill. Outdoor pool is not heated so didn’t use as October but I imagine very refreshing in the Summer as it’s a real heat trap up there. Food was good. Something to enjoy every night apart from the fish bbq but we don’t like fish, just personal taste. We are awkward as one of us is gluten free and the other lactose free but the restaurant managers were amazing and went out of their way to accommodate both of us. Evening entertainment is usually a singer but pleasant enough while you have a drink. Didn’t use the shuttle bus as a small town is 15 minute walk and sorrento about a 30 minute walk which we didn’t mind but keep in mind it’s on a hill. If I had to find a negative the showers are very noisy you can hear the other rooms and when they drag their chairs across tiled floors but you can’t hear conversation, tv and their were no rowdy guests. We were blown away by our stay and would return. Advice is to appreciate the charm and not expect modern

The staff made this holiday. They were polite, helpful and professional. The food was excellent with plenty of choice. The choice of drinks was good with the local lager being Peroni, cocktails were made fresh. We found the bed a bit hard and our tv was faulty and wasn't mended but generally a great holiday. Plenty of hot water for a soak in the bath. We used the courtesy bus and walked down to the port. We visited Capri, Amalfi, Herculaneum and Pompei amongst other places. Italian traffic is scary and loads of people tripped up on pavements etc as health and safety is not a priority in Italy! Watch your step. Weather was 20 - 24 degrees, lovely.
