Hotel Jaccarino

This hotel is absolutely wonderful! The staff is helpful and welcoming. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The views are "to die for"! Hotel Jaccarino is a very short walk from St. A'gata which is a charming village. Breakfast is included and the morning offerings are superb. Add the delicious food to the beautiful dining room where you enjoy the morning meal and you just can't rate this hotel as anything less that top notch in this category. The only drawback is that we had to carry our bags up a circular staircase with small steps. That was a bit trying but... the incredible views we had when we got there made that effort more than worthwhile. I will be dreaming of those views of the Amalfi coast for a long time to come. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel or to stay here again.

This is probably one of the best views of the Bay of Naples around, but I dont think that its a 4* hotel, definately 3* and we had a few issues. We are so glad that we paid the extra for a sea view, you may not like the others. Luckily we booked B&B so only ate in the restaurant for dinner once, on the first night. Other guests said that the food, even on their 'special' night was fairly average. _ Why can't the kitchen serve fresh fruits and juice for breakfast instead of tinned? They grow in abundance here! There are a few restaurants and bars in the lovely village at the back of the hotel. Most of the hotel staff were very friendly and fun, especially the 2 young ladies on reception and the waiters, but when we wanted some ice in a glass to take to our room, we were refused, firstly by the more mature (american?) lady on reception who informed us, quite curtly, that "Only the bar manager can serve ice and he is on his break at the moment. Please come back in 15 mins." !! (Dismissed!) Then, when we asked again after half an hour, the bar manager just simply refused.- The question was "Can we have some ice in a glass to take up to our room please?" The answer was "No!" He said this twice, as I could not believe it the first time and asked again. On questioning why not, I was told "You will have to pay for the ice" !! - How's that for 4* service? Hotel management, if you read this, please take note!! However, we did have a fantastic holiday in spite of this as the area is soo beautiful and so much to do and see. Must do's are the Amalfi coast and Positano, Boat to Capri for the day and of course Pompeii, Vesuvius and Herculaneum too if you are into history.

We loved our stay at the Hotel Jaccarino! We did pay a little extra for the seaside view, and when I took my partner to the window and opened the shutters, tears actually came to his eyes! When you think you will get a sea view, you never know if it will be a peek or a glimpse, but 180 degree panoramic view of the coast overlooking Sorrento, with Mt. Vesuvius and Pompei in the background was $1 million view! The room was average sized, comfortable, with mini-bar/fridge, safe and comfortable accommodations. The staff were friendly and helpful and breakfast was included. There is a lovely pool, that unfortunately closes at 6:00 p.m. On these very hot days, guests would be better served if the pool could stay open later. Going to the pool, get there early to stake your territory, otherwise the lounges will be all taken with others who have placed their towels, but are not necessarily there! The hotel provides free shuttle service, to and from Sorrento if you pre-arrange reservations making driving unnecessary. You can easily catch a ferry to spend a day in Capri (also an elevator to get you back up the hill afterwards, only 1 euro). Dining at the hotel was good, if not a bit expensive, at 20 Euro a piece should you decide to eat there, but the town of Sant'Agata is a very short two minute walk through the alley behind the hotel with some wonderful dining establishments. One in particular, was Da Cardillo where we enjoyed fried calamari, the best homemade cannelloni I have ever had in my life, and the chef brought us a homemade Benedictine- like liquor in a frozen glass after our meal and a delicious custard cake for dessert. When traveling from the hotel continue south on Corso SantaAgata to the road that would take you to Massa Lubrense make a quick left onto Via Dei Campi, you should be able to see the restaurant from the corner. The only downsides were: a very small shower, no tub, air conditioning was extra if desired at an extra 15 Euro/day. Despite very high heat on the days we were there we did not find the A/C necessary, but may have preferred it at night to leaving the windows wide open. Others complain about the roosters waking them in the morning, but I was more disturbed by the dogs barking at night and flys coming in through the open windows in the morning. The bar is good, the terraces are great, there is WiFi available on the main level for a fee. I would definitely recommend!

This is a very nice hotel at a great price and includes breakfast. Hotel had great views overlooking the coastline while we enjoyed a drink from their bar. Free shuttle to/from Sorrento ~ 10 min. ride. No AC but really didn't need it as it got perfectly cool at night. We requested a fan which was more than enough. Pool closed around 6pm.

We choose the hotel on previous recommendations and would concur with everything said before. Really lovely hotel in the hills above Sorrento with fantastic views. Courtesy bus to/from Sorrento plus local bus stops to Sorrento and Amalphi coast. Hotel staff very nice. Only minor issue, no WiFi.

I booked this hotel based on previous reviews and I'm glad I did. It is 8 km from Sorrento in a quiet mountain. Our room had a beautiful view of the Napoli Gulf. Spacious room. Friendy service. The St. A'Gata Village in the back was great!. We dined at Mimi's & bought our water & snacks in nearby mini markets. Public transporation station is 5 min walking distance from hotel.

It was easy to find and the staff and accomadations were better than we expected. Parking was easy which was an added bonus as we had a rental car

The hotel was a treat! The town of Santa Augata behind the hotes was a grand suprise. The pastry store and outside pizza restaurant are not to be missed! It's an older hotel and a little hard to find, but just call the front desk and they'll get you there! Well worth the trip if only for the fantastic view of Sorrento and the bay! Get a room with a sea view!!Easy to day trip to Pompii and drive on the Amalfi Coast. Bella!

This hotel highlighted our trip to Italy. It was the best value and had wonderful views. I enjoyed the fact that it was not in the middle of a busy part of town, but you could take a shuttle to sorrento (free). The rooms were huge compared to the other 3 person rooms we had in Italy. The breakfast was very enjoyable and the staff accomodating. I would recommend this hotel to anyone and hope to return one day.

great hotel with fantastic view, great amenities, resturant was very good including breakfast. Would go back again and recommend highly
