Hotel La Pergola

“Questo è fantastico”

It’s absolutely beautiful place, the staff is polite and helpful! And the owner is one of the kindest people in Italy! If you want to have the best dinner of your life - go to the restaurant Cafe Latina (Corso Italia, 24, Sorrento). I’ll be back for sure!

Just returned from a 7 night stay at the Hotel La Pergola. I booked this hotel for myself and my mum, and as another reviewer mentioned, was slightly hesitant after some of the reviews left at the end of August. We arrived at the hotel about 2 hours before we could 'officially' check in (due to an early flight time) but the two women working reception were kind, knowledgeable and accommodating. They took our passports and stored them safely away (I think each pigeon hole may even have been locked, but I could be mistaken). Luckily, our room was ready early, which was a lovely surprise. The AC worked perfectly and we had absolutely no trouble with the temperature, even my mum, who suffers from the odd hot flush, was very happy. The rooms are basic but comfortable, and are cleaned every day by a wonderful and friendly group of cleaners. Breakfast was fab, a classic continental but had things to suit everyone. After 7 days I think I had eaten enough ham and cheese, but that's purely personal. The hotel is a little walk into the centre of Sorrento, around 15 minutes, but honestly in the heat of the day it feels more like 30. The hotel have obviously tried to combat this by putting on the shuttle bus, run by Tony who was lovely, but there is a large portion in the middle of the day where it doesn't run (from 12:30ish to 6pm), meaning there were a couple of long walks back to the hotel - however we made it work and it wasn't a problem. Gorgeous sun trap roof terrace with a covered area that was literally empty apart from me and mum, which was a real treat. The gentleman who worked the reception at night and tended to the breakfast was really friendly and personable, and made our stay really enjoyable. Overall, really good stay, location slightly further out than I would stay again, but that's personal preference, and forgot to mention the Hotel's Restaurant, Cafe Latino - set back from the Corso Italia under a blanket of trees, it was wonderful. Staff were kind and food was amazing!

“A very enjoyable stay”

We had a great 7 night stay at Hotel Pergola, using it as a base to explore Sorrento, Pompeii and Herculaneam. The room was good, very clean, very comfortable bed and a nice bathroom, the lack of plug sockets was a bit tricky so we had to keep swapping things over which was a bit of a drag, but man… more

We had a great 7 night stay at Hotel Pergola, using it as a base to explore Sorrento, Pompeii and Herculaneam. The room was good, very clean, very comfortable bed and a nice bathroom, the lack of plug sockets was a bit tricky so we had to keep swapping things over which was a bit of a drag, but manageable - we had a balcony view which overlooked the car park at the back, but beautiful mountains beyond, it wasn’t really an issue for us. The staff were brilliant, always super helpful and very welcoming, the breakfast’s delicious with an enormous amount to choose from. The whole hotel was incredibly clean with fantastic hard working staff who were always very friendly. The hotel is a 15 / 20 min walk from Sorrento either down the Corsa Italia ( which can be very busy! Have to say Sorrento should really try and address the traffic!!) or another quieter route - both very easy to manage. The train station ( for Naples, Pompeii etc) is about 15 min walk, dead easy to use and very cheap. The pool was great, the area around it is a bit limited, and I found the playing of music a bit odd but I think it what a lot of the hotels do - but we had 2 very lazy days by the pool soaking up the sun and the hotel provides a bar service to bring you drinks. I can see why ( as previous reviewer has said) if your window looks onto the pool that might be a bit odd, but in general for us we enjoyed a really lovely stay here - the sister restaurant to the hotel in town was also very good and recommended, a great setting and one of the best pizzas I have ever had ( and I have had a lot!) . Thanks to everyone at Hotel Pergola!

“Great location, average hotel”

First visit to Italy and hotel is in a superb location. Staff are all friendly, Tony the hotel taxi driver is especially so. In fact he made the holiday, his recommendations for restaurants are unbelievable. The hotel is clean, rooms spotless every day, bed is comfy and views are ok but please note you cannot see the sea from the hotel. Pool is clean and tidy but only about ten spaces so if hotel is busy then easily gets full. Now the bad, the breakfast is awful. Nothing warm was ever there and if you don't like cheese you really are done for. The bar in the reception is basically ran by the receptionist so if they are busy then you have to wait. There are no bar snacks or even coffee making facilities in the room. The roof top terrace has no lights so once it gets dark, you cant see where you are walking which is ridiculous. Shower in the bathroom is tiny and not very strong at all. I cant faulty the staff or the cleanliness of the hotel but you are paying for location only unfortunately.
