Hotel Iaccarino

What a gorgeous hotel, loved the furniture and the old charm. The staff were really lovely and helpful. When we arrived there was a bottle of sparkly waiting for us as it was our honeymoon. The room was lovely. The bed was the most comfortable we have slept in. The views also I could never get tired off. There is only 1 slight negative, I enjoyed the food but my husband was disappointed in the mains, but loved the starters and pudding. I loved that there was choices and I could ask for an omelette freshly made for me for breakfast. All in all we had a lovely time.

We just had supper one night with friends of ours who stayed there but we fell in love with the hotel, the people and the food! We stayed in Sorrento and were disappointed that we didn't find this jewel! The meal was very good but the views, the location (Sant'Agata is an awesome little town) and the service was impeccable. Highly recommend.

Just home from a lovely stay at Hotel Jaccarino. If you are thinking of going I will try to give you my honest opinion. I messaged the hotel a few weeks before our visit to ask for an upgrade to a room with a balcony and sea view. Renato the manager came back to me and offered an attic room with a Juliet balcony. I am so glad we did as the view was to die for. I did pay extra for this but I would say if you can afford to try to do this. The balcony was cosy but was fine. Although the rooms are dated there is lots of storage space, wardrobes, draws a safe and mini fridge. Also bathrobes and slippers. There is a hairdryer in the bathroom and toiletries are lovely. The rooms are cleaned daily and clean towels and plenty of toilet rolls. The cleaning lady was lovely The hotel is spectacularly clean and the main communal areas are lovely but the rooms and room corridors are very dated. This doesn’t matter so much if you don’t spend a lot of time in your room but it might put some people off. There are also lots of stairs and lifts were old and slow The staff are lovely can’t fault their service but never really got to know their names sadly. It would be a suggestion for them to wear a name badge or introduce themselves We were half board - breakfast is buffet style and there is everything you could want. Coffee/tea and fresh orange juice is ordered via the staff who will also give you a menu for pancakes and omelettes etc. Evening meal is a set menu but has choices of starters mains and desserts. There was always a vegetarian, fish and meat dish. We also had a Neapolitan night with typical food from the region. My daughter and husband are quite fussy eaters on a few occasions they struggled but the staff were very helpful and offered alternatives. Really good quality food. The pool is a good size plenty of sun beds and no reserving of beds was seen! At the pool you ask the staff on duty for pool towels which are provided (good to know this) The little village of Sant Agata is worth a visit. Lots of little bars and restaurants and nice coffee and ice cream shops. We liked Bar Orlando (ask about the smoking cat). The best pistachio ice cream I’ve ever had! Ask the reception staff to show you the way. The hotel can also organise trips for you at reasonable rates My negative points The hotel offers a free mini bus into Sorrento but the times are a bit strange - also you must make sure you book seats in advance. There is a gap between 12 - 4 and the last bus back from Sorrento is 7.45 so difficult to spend an evening in town. The journey is about 20 mins depending on traffic. There is a public bus but we didn’t try it and taxis are very expensive. You don’t pay for your drinks as you go. You order and sign for your drinks and get a bill at the end of your stay. No idea if the bill was correct or not so just had to pay. This bill will also include your tourist tax. Just be prepared! If you are looking for somewhere quiet aw
