La Tonnarella

A four-star clifftop hotel just outside Sorrento with sea and Vesuvius views, a restaurant, and its own beach platform reached by elevator or steps.

Why people love it

• The view. Most reviews mention the view of the sea and Mount Vesuvius from the room or terrace. Guests booked suites such as the master suite and suite 26 for the terraces.
• The restaurant. Guests praise dinner with the ocean backdrop. One reviewer called the food "delicious" and another said prices were reasonable for the location.
• Friendly staff. Recent guests call the staff kind, helpful and attentive. One couple held their wedding here in October 2026.
• Beach access. The beach is reached by an elevator or steps. Several guests liked it, though chairs and umbrellas cost extra.

Why they come back

"For the second year in a row, I stayed at the Hotel Tonnarella in Sorrento."

The worst thing guests say

Paying for sunbeds on the beach is the most repeated complaint. Three guests raised it in September 2026 and others did in 2020 and 2024. Guests also said the beach is not private. In September 2026 two guests complained about small rooms and poor maintenance, and one honeymoon couple wrote about a poor check-in. Older reviews mention no hot water in April 2024, poor service in August 2025, and a seasonal closure that canceled one stay in 2022.

Insider tips

• Budget extra for beach chairs and umbrellas, and bring your own towels.
• Guests put the walk to town at 10 to 30 minutes.
• Parking is on site, which guests with rental cars liked.
• Check that the road is open if you visit during works, since one 2022 guest was blocked.
