Hotel La Pergola

Hotel La Pergola is a four-star hotel at Vico Primo Rota 1 in Sant'Agnello, the seaside town immediately east of Sorrento in Campania, Italy. The location is quieter and more residential than central Sorrento, yet the Sant'Agnello stop on the Circumvesuviana railway is close, giving direct trains to Sorrento, Naples, Herculaneum and Pompeii. An evening shuttle bus runs into Sorrento, which helps guests who want dinner or a stroll in Piazza Tasso without arranging a taxi. Rates start from about EUR 152 (roughly USD 175) per night, a moderate price for a four-star property on this coast. Rooms are offered as Double, Twin, Triple and Family Rooms, so the hotel suits couples, friends and families with children. The main facilities are an outdoor swimming pool and a rooftop terrace, where guests can take in views over the bay and the surrounding lemon and olive groves. The hotel has two restaurants and a coffee bar, so breakfast and evening meals are available on site, with local dishes such as gnocchi alla sorrentina and fresh seafood typical of the area. Parking is available for a fee, useful for guests touring by car, although narrow local roads call for care. The service character is that of a family-friendly, relaxed hotel where the emphasis is on comfort and value rather than formal luxury. It serves well as a base for excursions to the Amalfi Coast, Capri and Pompeii, and for travellers who prefer a calmer evening atmosphere than the crowded old town can offer. Visitors should confirm the shuttle schedule, pool opening dates and parking charges with the hotel before arrival, since these vary seasonally.
