Hotel Torre Saracena

This is nice place to stay, bus stop is in front of hotel and well connected to both Positano and Amalfi. Staff is very friendly and there is small nice beach next to the hotel which is 5 min walk for a dip.

I booked a double room assuming that meant we would have two beds as it does in US. This was MY mistake. When we realized we didn’t have a bed for my 7 year old to sleep in, staff said the hotel was fully booked. We were okay that we would all three share the king sized bed. When we went to lay down we discovered that the footstool actually turns into a small twin bed. Hooray! My husband went to ask for sheets and we were told that was my fault, I booked the room incorrectly. They knew she didn’t have a place to sleep but offered no solutions, even asking us to just pay more for the error. She reluctantly gave the husband the sheets so my daughter could have a bed. It felt very sneaky in my opinion. The hotel is old which both gives it character but also plumbing seemed to be a problem. We heard loud dripping in the bathroom 24/7 making it difficult to sleep. The age of the hotel is a factor but I feel that some upgrades are overdue. Additionally, the location in general isn’t great for you’re hoping for a quaint downtown with restaurants and shopping. In the future I will stay in Sorrento or Positano simply for the logistics. The staff was friendly and the breakfast was good. My number one concern booking any hotel is cleanliness and this hotel was VERY clean which I appreciated.

The owners and staff were so kind and personally interested in each visitor enjoying the property and their vacation. The care and warmth were so welcoming. Every detail was wonderful and special. Breakfast was always so generous and different each day with unique cakes and danish and scrambled eggs and bacon too! Vegetables, cheeses! Everything so beautifully presented and delicious! Super highlight of the trip is the landing on the seafront on the rocks. You are near enough to visit the grotto my swimming there!!! What a thrilling moment going into the cave! You can even stand up on the rocks in the back if you want! Totally fun and a real adventure! Loved it!!!
