Quite easily THE BEST hotel we’ve ever had the pleasure of staying in. Phenomenal cliff-face location with magnificent panoramic views of the sea, Marina Seiano, Bay of Napoli, the gulf and Mount Vesuvius. We stayed for 6 breathtaking nights in a full sea view room and thoroughly enjoyed our holiday with Hotel Sporting. The service here is absolutely outstanding and the staff will do anything in their power to ensure your stay is both memorable and comfortable. Although the hotel is a four star, it could quite easily pass as a 5 star as it is set in a gorgeous location and boasts a stunning private part-shingle, part-sand beach. Rooms and hotel grounds are cleaned to an exceptional standard every day - you won’t find a cobweb in sight! The rooms themselves are well equipped and tastefully decorated in light pastel blues and creams. In your room you will find a minibar, TV, air conditioning, hairdryer, safe, telephone and bath/shower. We would definitely recommend the sea view rooms if you want something magically romantic and charming. We dined at the hotel restaurant several times (Di Sole Di Luna) and were made to feel like absolute Queens. The waiters were both friendly and attentive, and the food was simply out of this world. Fresh, flavoursome and well presented. We would highly recommend the Tuna bresaola with Orange gel, marinated Salmon with caramelized Onions and definitely the black spaghetti pasta. The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and offers a splendidly and genuine varied menu. The hotel is approx a 7-10 minute walk to Vico Equense station, which takes you directly to Sorrento one way or Naples the other direction. Across the road is a quaint but beautiful little family-run pottery shop called Vitale which sells a vast array of colourful pots, vases, cups, crockery and several other nik naks. A stones throw from the hotel is the beautiful church, Chiesa della Santissima Annunziata, and down the road from the hotel there is a luxurious Michelin star restaurant. The local Piazza Umberto is very cute, with its pretty fountain and scores of local shops, bars and restaurants. Be sure to visit Gelateria Gabriele for its sumptuous selection of gelato, cakes and pastries and if you’re craving a decent pizza, we would highly recommend the Metro pizza house who cater delightfully for all tastes (including gluten free!). We’d like to pass on our eternal thanks and gratitude to Armando and his fantastic team of staff for making our stay at Hotel Sporting a special one. This paradise on Earth was like our second home and hopefully one day we will return. THANK YOU x
