Grand Hotel Aminta

Had a 10 day break here in May 2024, and honestly cannot fault it Stunning location high up with breathtaking views , this hotel stands out literally from all over Sorrento. The hotel is spotless throughout the rooms were cleaned daily. Sunset sea view room is a must, what a treat every evening…worth the little bit extra. We went for half board and the food was excellent. The pool was heated so even on chillier days it was still lovely to have a dip. There is a shuttle bus which takes you into town every hour from morning until evening for free. This is a huge save considering a taxi cost around 25 -30 euros down to the harbour. What makes this hotel Stand out more than the above is the staff…each and every one of them were helpful, friendly, polite and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Aminta for an excellent stay…we will be back for sure. Mr & Mrs Birks Room 311

This smaller hotel is owned by a family and you can certainly tell by the attentive, friendly staff - nothing is too much trouble. What really sells this place though is the location - high above the Bay of Naples, overlooking Sorrento and its harbour with the Isle of Capri to the west, and the most spectacular sunsets. Please don’t be put off by the fact that it is high up - there is a free hotel minibus that runs every hour down to Sorrento and picks up hourly from the town. The only steps in the hotel itself are the half a dozen leading up to the main doors - everything is either on the flat or accessible by lifts. The rooms are beautiful. The ones with the best view are higher up (there are only 4 floors). We had 403 which had a large balcony overlooking the bay and pool. We had daily maid service and things you wouldn’t expect like an Alexa which played music, gave the weather for the next day etc. There are more than enough sun beds round the pool (the ones on the left have the sun all day) in fact by 10.30 am there were often only a couple of people there. There is pool waiter service and you can have lunch in an area overlooking the pool. Free daily towels are also provided and the sun beds have little sun shades to shield your face. When we were there there were no children other than a very tiny baby - the hotel isn’t really set up for children or teenagers with no ball games or inflatables in the pool. If you want a quiet holiday this is perfect. We had a very early checkout and were provided with a packed breakfast. Now to the food. In honesty I think this is what makes this a 4 + star hotel rather than a 5 star. Don’t get me wrong the food is plentiful but uninspiring. Breakfast is a buffet and has all you need but dinner is very formulaic with variations on a theme each evening - there is a choice of 5 staters, 3 mains and 3 desserts. There is an a la cart menu as an alternative which is much better but you do have to pay extra. A couple of nights we decided to take the minibus down to Sorrento to experience different restaurant choices. Please don’t let this put you off - this is an absolutely beautiful hotel and you will have the real experience of Italy. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

We had a really great stay at the grand hotel aminta. The staff were lovely and attentive, and the hotel itself is well presented and spotlessly clean. The only reason we didn't provide 5 stars is that we had a few minor issues with housekeeping, but they did not hugely take away from a great holiday.

Ive just returned from the hotel and I could not believe how attentive the staff are. I have to have medical equipment and it wasn’t working on arrival. Lauren and her staff could not have done enough for me going ensuring it was sorted. The food was out of this world along with one of the most impressive sunsets we’ve seen. A great pair of bus drivers that take you up and down to the town. Walk is about 15 mins down a mild slope which we done a few times. All in all I would like to thank this hotel and wonderful staff for a very lovely stay in Sorrento ♥️

My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights and had a great time. The rooms were large bright and clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food at breakfast and in the restaurant was very good. We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed at this hotel in April. We were very impressed with the care from the staff, who were friendly and accommodating and the clean and spacious hotel. The bar area is bright and comfortable with lovely views over the Bay of Naples. For walkers, there is a path that leads through the hill side into town.
