This review is specifically for Radici del Sud, the restaurant that is part of the hotel. Having traveled to Sorrento from the US, this restaurant offered beautiful views of Sorrento. The food for dinner was great. The service was good but while trying to be professional, it was more stuffy and unfriendly. My understanding was that the hotel would offer a shuttle back down to the town center but according to the server, that wasn't the case. That said, it was generally a good experience and the views were unforgettable! read more

Great hotel right on the water with amazing views. The staff goes above and beyond to make you happy. They order fresh pizza from us at midnight when we got here and they gave us bottled water. Be sure to book a room with a view it is worth it. Breakfast is very nice as well. Highly recommending this place in Sorrento if you don't want to brake the bank. read more

The food was amazing. Everything was delicious. the staff went above and beyond. The ambience is beautiful. I highly recommend it.

We really enjoyed our stay at La Tonnarella. The rooms are beautiful and mostly comfortable. The bed in our 2nd room (we had to move for an unknown reason) had a huge dip in one side. But the room (24) itself was stunningly beautiful. There was a huge balcony overlooking the Napoli Bay. The restaurant was very pleasant and breakfast was great. I especially want to give a 5 star review to Eva, our server. She went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Eva gave suggestions on places to visit and things to do and see. I also noticed that she was kind and joyful with every customer that came into the restaurant. Our first room (23) initially smelled like a septic problem and had some huge flies but the next day all was well. The bed was very comfortable and the view was terrific . I would stay again. read more

I loved the breakfast in the morning, and the dinner was great as well. The staff are extremely kind and helpful. This hotel is worth booking for sure. For an even better experience, book a room with a view out into the bay of Naples. A quick and easy walk can lead you to downtown sorrento, with many choices of shops. Highly recommend! read more

This hotel was amazing! First, the rooms were wonderful. With access to a balcony overlooking the water, our stay offered us a great way to relax while in Sorrento. To add on, every other part of the room was amazing, comfterable, beautiful, and cleaned perfectly every day. The hotel also came with many extras including an enclosed beach dotted with sea glass (safe, of course), an elaborate complementary buffet (with great staff (shoutout to the waiter who brought us cappacino)), a beautiful outdoor patio, amazing dinner and lunch services, and much more fearures (they even impress a teenager!) Also, as a result of a short walk, you can find yourself in atmospheric downtown Sorrento! Book here now!! read more

When I walked into my enormous hotel room (room 24) and saw the floor to ceiling sliding glass doors with the curtains blowing in the breeze and the panoramic view of the Mediterranean Sea, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Seeing the outdoor bed and the outdoor shower on the balcony made me absolutely speechless. Silence between he and I as we took in all of the amenities. We looked at each other with raised eyebrows. Yes, we were going to enjoy this space. It's certainly very Italian. Our floor was completely tiled in blue and yellow ceramic and the balcony made of terracotta. It felt very old world. It did feel "busy" with all of the patterns compared to what most American's probably are used to. While I wouldn't live with it in my home in America, I absolutely loved it and embraced it in Italy. It felt palatial and I loved waking up to that every day that I stayed. LOVED the bathroom. With a huge sliding glass door that also opened to the balcony, I could soak in the 6x4 ft tub as I overlooked the Napoli coastline. A tub that was made completely of glass on one side. Yes, this was a hotel room made for lovers. Despite having been to the Amalfi Coast three times now, I'm still dying to go back. And of course, I would book my stay again at La Tonnarella in room 24. I wasn't there even 20 minutes before I was sprawled out on the balcony in a bathing suit with a mischievous grin on my face. read more

Zero Stars for this hotel. Zero stars for the staff. First and most important of all you should know that the hotel staff is extremely rude!! But I'll get to that in a moment. The hotel itself is a little dated. We had to take 2 flights of stairs to get to our room which wouldn't have been that big of a deal except we had to carry our own bags up. (Never have I ever had to carry my own bags to my room) We had an escort who quickly picked up one of my carry on bags and left the 2 large bags for me to carry. (My wife carried her carry on bag as well) The bellhop walked us to the room, handed me the key and left. The room itself looked decent at a glance, but upon further inspection had mosquitoes (I counted 6 that I had to squash) which probably came in through the bathroom window that had been left open. I'll get to the bathroom in a little bit) The WiFi did not work in our room & it took a technician about 45 minutes to 'fix it'. Truth is it was never fixed. It worked for about an hour, then we were logged out & it never worked again. There was a small balcony which revealed a magnificent panoramic view of the sea. You could see from the Sorrento marina all the way to Capri. I'm talking Breathtaking view!! This is the 1 and only good thing about this place. I hopped onto the bed to relax before heading out & almost broke my back. The thin mattress is supported by a steel beam running down the middle with flat chain link springs on either side (see picture) To give you a better idea of what it's like to sleep on this thing, imagine trying to sleep on a hill. You can't help but roll off to either side of the bed. I went down to the reception desk to let them know that the bed was unacceptable & the response I received from Christine (the receptionist) was this... "if you don't like it, you can call your travel agent and have them book you a room somewhere else" NO JOKE! NO EXAGGERATION!! Verbatim this is what she said!!!! Talk about customer service! WOW!!! This is exactly what I did. I called my agent and arranged a different room at a different hotel. Unfortunately we were unable to be transferred right away & were forced to spend 1 miserable night here. Luckily our agent was able to secure a room at a nearby hotel (Hotel Belair) which was a much nicer experience (check my review to read about the difference) I understand that this hotel is trying to stay "authentic" not my word.. this is the word the travel agent had used to describe the hotel, but give me a break!! There is no shower! Only a tub with a hand heals shower head. Get ready... here comes the best part... The ceiling is so low over the shower, that you have no other choice but to shower while sitting on your knees!! (Or bent over, or sitting in the tub) At some point during the night I wanted to make some tea (since I was unable to sleep in the bed!) and I was disgusted at what I saw in the kettle that was provided in the room. (Please see the image I provided of the tea kettle) there was mold inside of it. Anyway, That was 24 hours of my life that I can never get back. It almost ruined my entire vacation. If you are thinking of booking this hotel I urge you to do some more research. I highly recommend finding different accommodations. read more

The room was amazing our terrace on Naples Bay could easily have a large party. It was outfitted with a table for two, two lounges plus an umbrella. Amazing views of the water and landscape plus a marina. Walking to the city center was easy but we felt tucked away when we were not shopping or eating in town. We always had breakfast here always great variety and good coffee. Our last night we decided to have dinner here versus walking in town. Service and food are very very good. Back to the room very spacious as well as a spacious bathroom and soaking tub. read more

Very arrogant service and bad customers service. Food was fine but definitely overpriced . The server was complaining about my choice of wine just because was the cheapest one on the menu, not knowing I had the exact same wine the night before in Napoli for 7 euros. (There was 30 euros). Wine was good lol At the end of our meals we payed and the server asked for the tip. I am fully Italian and my husband family came to visit Italy for the first time. You can fool tourists but not Italians. Tip is not mandatory in Italy . If you enjoyed the experience and you want to be extra nice you leave some coins. My husband said ok to the tip and he wanted to give him 10% but he insisted on the 20%. That pissed me off. Better improve the service if you wanna get 20 % In US the care of the customer goes way beyond. and customer service it works way better than this. Also I work in restaurant in US and even we don't get payed for our service the 20% we are not allowed to ask to tip us. Otherwise it will be extortion. The customer decides. I will never suggest or come back to this place. read more

I must start by saying my experience at La Tonnarella was many years ago. 1998 to be exact! Lol. Sorry...it was so long ago I never thought to write a review but in reading over the few that are here...I figured why not? Some things will never change... like the absolutely breathtaking view. We visited for a week with the kids when they were teens. Dozens of vacations since and our week in Sorrento at La Tonnarella is still our favorite. We went off-season November. Only a few other guests there. The food was amazing. We still talk about it. Fresh seafood and pastas... and Breakfasts were ample without being heavy. We always grabbed a pastry or slice of pizza for lunch while out but enjoyed fantastic dinners at LT every single night. We talked about trying other places in town but ultimately did not. The food at La Tonnarella is so fresh and wonderful...why go anywhere else?!? I do not remember the number of the large family room we occupied but I do recall it being lovely with bright blue tiles and comfortable beds. I suppose because it was not high season, there were very few employees visible..very few guests as well...we had the place largely to ourselves. . The same fellow who checked us in carried our bags to our room and saw to our every need throughout our stay. He was also our waiter every meal! Just changed his hat and vest to suit the role! It was a magnificent stay and reading these reviews/seeing the photos makes me long for another week...or longer in Sorrento at La Tonnarella. As soon as COVID lightens up...in going... minus the kids who now have children of their own! read more

La Tonnarella is exactly as described and far more. It's an example of what a hotel should be. We stayed four nights in Oct., two in a suite and two in a superior room. The views from every window of each room are stunning. They overlook the Bay of Naples and you can see the cruise ships, Naples. Vesuvio, both harbors in Sorrento, the town and the cliffs. It's hard to stop looking out the windows or enjoying the terraces. Everything works fine in the rooms. The suite is over the top for two, two bedrooms, two baths, jacuzzi, sitting room and would work for a family. The superior room is perfect for two and has the same views and a balcony. They say every superior room has a view and balcony. Everything is clean, well maintained and works perfectly. The decoration is quite eclectic and old-school, very interesting things for the guest to examine. The restaurant is closed Oct. 1 except for the complimentary breakfast which is great. Their omelette is perfect, an example for all home cooks to emulate. The staff at the desk and in the restaurant is very friendly and helpful. There is a beautiful little beach. Take the elevator, they provide towels. Unfortunately when we were there our beach days were windy and cloudy/rainy but the water was still warm. Some other things. The walk into town is just an easy 6 -10 mins but the road is busy and the sidewalk narrow. Many many people do it so it's OK. Cabs into town are about 20 euros. There is a bus but we did not use it. Walking to/from the docks with luggage is possible but a long way up or downhill. Our superior room had a tub with a hand held spray, no shower. read more
