Hotel Florida

Hotel Florida is a three-star hotel at Vico Primo Rota 3 in Sant'Agnello, east of the centre of Sorrento, though it is marketed under the Sorrento name. The Sorrento Peninsula in Campania, Italy, is the setting, and the hotel occupies a side lane away from the main road, which gives a quieter atmosphere than properties on Corso Italia. Its main selling points are the garden and the outdoor swimming pool, which provide space to relax between day trips to Capri, Pompeii, Positano and Naples. Room categories include Double or Twin Rooms with Balcony, Double or Twin Rooms with Pool View, Triple Rooms, Family Rooms and Single Rooms, so the hotel handles solo travellers, couples and families. Rates start from about EUR 189 per night and the rating is about 4.4 out of 5. A restaurant and a bar serve guests on site, and a 24-hour reception handles late arrivals, which suits those arriving by evening train or ferry. The Circumvesuviana station at Sant'Agnello is the nearest rail link for trips toward Naples and Pompeii, and central Sorrento is a short distance west for dining, shopping and the port. The service character is that of a traditional, family-oriented leisure hotel rather than a business or design property. The hotel's website is hotelfloridasorrento.com and its phone number is +39 081 878 2672. Summer is the main season for the pool and garden, and rates generally rise then, so booking early is sensible. Visitors who prefer a calmer base to the centre of Sorrento, and who are comfortable with a short transfer into town, are the best match.
