Grand Hotel Parco del Sole

Grand Hotel Parco del Sole is a four-star hotel at Corso Italia 15/A in Sant'Agnello, the town next to Sorrento on the Sorrento peninsula in Italy's Campania region. The hotel is about one kilometre from the centre of Sorrento, along the Corso Italia coast road, and the Sant'Agnello railway station and the Piazza Tasso area can be reached by a short drive, a shuttle service or a walk of about fifteen minutes. The property is a large, 150-room hotel run by Giglio Hotels, built as a resort-style complex set around gardens and pools, and its character is that of a practical, family-friendly holiday hotel rather than a boutique retreat. Rooms are offered as Standard, Superior, Garden View and Pool View categories, with Triple and Family Quadruple rooms available for larger groups, which makes the property useful for families and small parties. The main amenities are an adult pool with a solarium and a separate Jacuzzi pool, two restaurants, and indoor and outdoor bars, as well as free Wi-Fi, parking and a 24-hour reception. Dining serves Italian and regional dishes, and breakfast is a buffet. A shuttle service connects the hotel with Sorrento, which helps guests without a car. The staff handle many group and tour guests and can arrange excursions to Capri, Pompeii, Herculaneum and the Amalfi Coast. Rates start from about EUR 137 per night, a moderate price for a four-star hotel with pools and parking. Guest ratings are more mixed than at the better-rated properties of Sorrento, so visitors should read recent reviews and choose a pool or garden view room for the best experience. The location in Sant'Agnello suits travellers who value parking, space and pool time, and who are content to travel into Sorrento for evenings and sightseeing.
