Unconventional Sorrento Coast

A hotel in a former convent in Sant'Agnello, near Sorrento, with gardens, an outdoor pool, a free breakfast buffet and a shuttle into town.

Why people love it

• Staff. Olga is thanked by name for the welcome on arrival. Guests describe staff who answer questions, give upgrades and help with plans, and one family stayed two weeks.
• The grounds and pool. Guests describe a tranquil garden and a pool they used in the afternoons after sightseeing. One mentions a view of Mount Vesuvius from the room.
• Food. Breakfast is described as fantastic and, in a September 2026 review, as good if not luxurious. One October 2026 guest called the gnocchi the best they have had in Italy.
• Quiet, near the train. Guests call the hotel wonderfully quiet, about 5 minutes from the train station, with a shuttle into Sorrento.

The worst thing guests say

In 26 reviews from July to October 2026, the lowest rating is 3 stars, from August 2026. That guest praised the staff and the shuttle, and the rest of the review is cut off. An August 2026 4-star review describes an unpleasant incident with a specific receptionist over a Sunday check-out; the details are cut off. The most serious complaint comes from October 2025, when a guest reported hundreds of ants in the bathroom and on their belongings on their last night in September. Older 1-star reviews from 2023 cover a billing disagreement, a room change and a higher price than expected.

Insider tips

• The shuttle to Sorrento must be scheduled and costs €10 per person, according to a September 2026 guest.
• The train station is about a 5 minute walk, and one guest put the walk to Sorrento center at about 20 minutes.
• If you notice ants or other pests, tell the front desk right away.
