Santangelo Resort & Spa

Taxi al hotel: 180 euros. Al llegar, me dijeron que mi habitación estaba al otro lado de la calle; no una cualquiera, sino una concurrida, ventosa y peligrosa. Expresé mi preocupación y «Rita», la encantadora recepcionista, me encontró una habitación dentro del hotel. Había reservado alojamiento con desayuno. La comida era normal: cereales, beicon, pan, embutidos (dos tipos) y queso (uno). Lamentablemente, no había fruta. El menú era a la carta, que no cambiaba. El chef preparó algunos entrantes de cortesía. El hotel estaba muy limpio y las toallas se cambiaban con regularidad. El personal era encantador y educado, y todos se sentían como en casa. Una piscina exterior muy agradable, aunque pequeña. El uso del spa y los tratamientos tienen un suplemento de 30 euros.

This hotel is a fantastic option, just 40 minutes from Naples and well-connected to Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Mount Faito, making it ideal for hiking throughout the year. The SPA is excellent, with a new section expected to open by the end of 2024, and the dining experience is outstanding, featuring local delicacies. It's my go-to spot for unwinding, enjoying the natural surroundings, and indulging in great food.

The hotel is in need of renovation in some areas and the pool needs to be retiled and sealed. The room was basic , even though we paid for a superior room with balcony . There isn’t any furniture on any balcony , so nowhere to sit out and enjoy the views . The air con couldn’t be regulated at all . The bathrooms are old and tired , Our ‘mini bar’ was just a small fridge ,,, no drinks in it , no water provided in the rooms and no tea/coffee making facilities in the room . The room was a decent size , the bed was ok . There was a wardrobe with coat hanger and when we asked for more , we got 4 . There are no drawers to put anything in . The TV is extra small , with intermittent WiFi . Breakfast was appalling .. little choice and not much . Poolside bar food was terrible . The hotel is out of the way , so a vehicle is needed . There is nothing close by . The hotel provide a driver but it’s very expensive . Lots of steps so not good for anyone unsteady on their feet . Very expensive for so little. Definitely not a 4 * . Wouldn’t stay there again !!

Stayed here from 19/06/24 till 28/06/24 the hotel is quiet . & set in the hills above Sorrento 20 mins drive from what I consider the best part of Italy the amalfi coast . With friendly staff great food and a pool . Rooftop terrace to take in the extensive views & and a great range of drinks . And great food . A car is a must tbf as you are a little out the way . Be prepared for the Italian way of driving but you kinda get used to it .. Pompei is 40 mins drive away a must see attraction . Everything is a bit expensive . But there’s lots to do sorrento is amazing and well worth the drive out .. we hired an electric car not recommended as the charging points are a bit scarce but we managed with a lil exploring .. a great holiday . Highly recommend

The hotel is in a marvellous location, nestled in green hills with fabulous views. We researched it carefully before deciding to go there. One thing we really wanted to experience was the Spa. Other good things about this place is the restaurant. Quality of evening meals really good and the continental breakfast has a good range of choice. It has a roof patio, which is very nice and a swimming pool which I didn't manage to sample. I had a massage costing around €30 which was expertly done. Things started going rocky for us on the first night when someone unlocked our hotel door, while we had the thumb-lock turned from inside and managed to enter. I shouted out and ran to the door but they appear to have run down the stairs. The next day when I complained about it, it was dismissed as if it didn't happen. During the rest of our stay the receptionist did not say that she had looked at security footage or that security was being stepped up. I tried not to make it spoil the holiday but I kept all of my valuables with me at all times and took precautions at night and would advise the same to any visitor. The staff appeared to be obsessed with earning money from what they call 'transfers'. i.e. they act as a taxi service charging jaw dropping amounts. All charges are per person. From the Hotel to Pompei we were charged €50 combined which I had to argue down from the €60 they wanted to charge. We took their transfer because the receptionist told us that to buy a bus ticket online, you needed an Italian phone number. Buses run right from outside the hotel and once you are in a town /city, I recommend that you buy inexpensive bus tickets from a tobacco shop. By the end of the holiday we worked out that in total, we had spent the cost of the holiday per person on 'transfers'. To top it all the spa facilities were closed every day that we were there.
