Hotel La Meridiana

Hotel La Meridiana details

Next to a lemon grove a short stroll from the centre of Sorrento, the Hotel La Meridiana is in a perfect spot for exploring the town.

“Five star service for a three star price” is how one TripAdvisor reviewer bills this place. And it’s true, most people who stay here pick out the friendly, English-speaking staff as one of this hotel’s best qualities.

Another top feature is the rooftop terrace. With views across the Bay of Naples, it’s a perfect spot for sunbathing. It’s kitted out with a handful of sunloungers, as well as tables and chairs set under canopies.

Inside, it’s the restaurant that people really rate. Looks-wise, with its dark-wood tables lit by spotlights, and it’s whitewashed walls, it’s got a bright and modern feel. Start the day with a Continental buffet breakfast. Evening meals, meanwhile, are typically Italian, so expect fresh soups, pasta dishes, and pastries and cakes for dessert.

In terms of your own private space, the bedrooms here make comfy bases. Style-wise, they’re nothing out of the ordinary. Cream walls, pine furniture and simply-dressed beds are the mainstays. Satellite TVs and hairdryers are the extras.

Lastly, there’s the location. This hotel is on a side street, just a short five to ten-minute stroll from the centre of Sorrento. It’s also not far from a small beach – ten to fifteen minutes on foot should do it.
