We arrived late in the evening without a reservation, but the staff warmly welcomed us and offered a perfect family room at a very good rate. The hotel’s location in Sorrento is fantastic, which made us decide to extend our stay. Despite being quite busy, the team went above and beyond to accommodate us, arranging the best available family and connected rooms for our three-night stay. They were incredibly kind and respectful throughout. Thank you so much, Antiche Mura ❤️

We spent a week at this excellent hotel. It is quiet but just 5 minutes walk from the centre of Sorrento. We had a lovely room overlooking the garden and pool and each morning awoke to the beautiful sight of lemon and orange trees. The room was bright and really comfortable with a large bathroom. A major plus was the fantastic breakfast, varied and with daily changes. Savoury or sweet there were so many tempting offerings! Rocco and his team looked after breakfast so well - really friendly and professional. Also thank you to the staff at reception, who were very helpful throughout our stay. Oh, and we mustn't forget Mr Nobody and his bar - nobody does it better....

“An Amazing Experience”

My wife and I decided to use Sorrento as our "base" during a 10-day vacation in Italy, and we did so partly because Sorrento looked absolutely beautiful and partly because the town sits not too far from other sites we wanted to see: Naples, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Paestum, the Amalfi Coast.

My wife and I decided to use Sorrento as our "base" during a 10-day vacation in Italy, and we did so partly because Sorrento looked absolutely beautiful and partly because the town sits not too far from other sites we wanted to see: Naples, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Paestum, the Amalfi Coast. We chose the Hotel Antiche Mura based on reviews and on photos, as well as on the prices, which seemed reasonable. And we were not disappointed! The hotel itself is a beautiful structure, full of yellow and white flourishes, immaculately kept, and managed by incredibly polite and helpful staff at the front desk, the bar, and the breakfast room. All speak English. And the breakfasts are delightful: so many dishes to chose from, including healthy options (as well as some not-so-healthy but deliciously fresh ones, some including locally grown lemons). Don't miss the section of the old city wall in the hotel garden, and the lemon grove there; and of course you can't miss the gorge (or "Valley of the Mills" as they call it there) over which the hotel is perched--it's an amazing site, and one you won't tire of no matter how many days you stay. The vibrant Piazza Tasso is only one block away, along with the narrow cobblestoned medieval streets with all their shops and churches. (If you look carefully, you can find many Roman artifacts integrated into later medieval and Renaissance structures here and there within walking distance of the hotel.) I very highly recommend Hotel Antiche Mura and would very much stay there again.

“Above and Beyond”

We booked this hotel for 2 nights and ended up staying 6. That should tell you all you need to know, but I will elaborate.

We booked this hotel for 2 nights and ended up staying 6. That should tell you all you need to know, but I will elaborate. The location is excellent, a block from the Piazza Tasso and the Corso Italia. We walked all over and when finally ready to head home it always seemed we were only 5 minutes away. The hotel s elegant, but not in a stuffy way. There are wonderful photos of historic Sorrento in the lobby. Our room was roomy, lovely, with a comfortable bed, good heating (important in November) and nearly instant hot water. Our terrace with its table and chairs looked down on the ancient ravine to the old mill. The staff were all attentive, helpful, accommodating, and friendly. They whisked us in when we arrived and soon had us ensconced in our room. We loved coming into breakfast where Rocco, Antonio, Rita, and others made us feel comfortable and a bit pampered. A second cappucino? Coming right up! There’s a nice bar in the lobby and we made a habit of getting ourselves a decaf cappucino and an Amaretto di Sarono as a way of settling in back “home.” Special mention for the parking. 25 euros a night, but worth it. Cheaper than the public parking across the street and way more convenient. I could call the front desk and they would have our car waiting out front ready to go. This is a wonderful base for exploring Sorrento and the surrounding area.
