Hotel Palazzo Guardati

Hotel Palazzo Guardati is a four-star boutique hotel at Via Sant'Antonino 24/26, beside Piazza Tasso in the heart of Sorrento, Campania, Italy. The address is one of the most convenient in town: the Circumvesuviana station, bus stops for the Amalfi Coast, the old town's lanes and the Villa Comunale gardens are all within a few minutes on foot, and the Marina Piccola ferry port is a short downhill walk or taxi ride. The hotel occupies a restored building dating from the early 17th century, and the aim is a small-scale, historic atmosphere rather than a large resort feel. Rates start from about EUR 138 (roughly USD 159) per night. Rooms are offered as Standard, Classic, Superior and Deluxe, equipped with a minibar and free Wi-Fi, and the hotel provides 24-hour reception and room service. Leisure facilities include an outdoor pool, a jacuzzi and a rooftop terrace, which gives views over the rooftops of the old town and toward the bay. A bar and lounge serves drinks, while guests looking for meals have Sorrento's many restaurants, from pizzerias to seafood trattorias, on the doorstep. The service character is that of a personable boutique hotel, well suited to couples and independent travellers who want to explore on foot and use Sorrento as a base for Capri, Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast. As the hotel is in the pedestrian-heavy centre, evenings can be lively, so guests sensitive to noise may wish to request a room away from the street. Visitors should confirm pool and rooftop opening periods with the hotel before travelling outside the summer season.
