Sin duda repetiria

La experiencia en este alojamiento fue de 10. Gaetano, el propietario del alojamiento es muy atento y si tienes alguna duda o problema en cuanto pueda te lo va a solucionar o a echar una mano. El único problema que tiene este hotel es la ubicación. Desde Sorrento son 40-45 minutos andando por pendientes muy inclinadas. Es cierto que hay mas medios para llegar como buses (aunque el ultimo que sube sale de Sorrento a las 18:30 y ya que vas a ver Sorrento no te vas a subir tan pronto) o un taxi que si vais varias personas no sale mal pero a nosotros nos quisieron cobrar por un trayecto de 4 minutos (1.9Km) 25 euros. Por lo demás todo genial. Gaetano nos mando un video grabado por el mismo de como llegar al hotel desde donde te dejaba el bus. Según llegamos la limpieza era impecable la habitación muy bonita y cómoda. El alojamiento tiene cocina que es un punto a favor si tu estancia va a ser larga y el desayuno incluido te los trae a las 7 el propio dueño.
