Art Hotel Gran Paradiso

Room: Very spacious clean room, an extra large comfortable bed, good AC. Bath and handheld shower with good water pressure in good bathroom with bidet. Toiletries provided. Large balcony with 2 sun loungers, a table and 2 chairs, full view of Mt Vesuvius across Gulf of Naples. 3 out of 4 days we watched glorious sunsets across bay from our balcony. Same sunset view from pool and terrace outside restaurant. Housekeeping excellent. Breakfast: Good Buffet breakfast with generous hot and cold selections, frequently replenished. Restaurant had open vista of Naples Gulf and Vesuvius. Big selection of local pastries, great carafes of fresh coffee. Decaf available too. Yolanda at Egg Station cooked lovely omelettes to order. Dinner: Varied menu with well cooked meals. Seafood fresh and delicious. Management often surprised customers with complimentary desserts...greatly appreciated, but often a struggle after first 2 generous courses!!:) Restaurant Staff: For me, the Staff always "makes" a hotel. Such an amazing team: prompt, efficient, friendly, polite and ever helpful. Totally unique at this restaurant was not only their attitude to hotel guests, but wonderful camaraderie among the staff: between Eugene, Carlo, Juliano, Johanne, Mariagratia ..apologies for wrong spelling or if I left anyone out. Wonderful team! "Thank You" for making our meals such enjoyable ones. Reception: All requests handled with ease. If doable, it was done. Luisa and Louisa were helpful with my queries. After departure we discovered at Sorrento Train station that our laptop was left in the hotel lobby! Blind panic, rang reception. Luisa calmly said she would send it. 10 minutes later Massi the Manager, with helmet on, sitting astride his scooter was handing over our laptop! If we visit Sorrento again, it will be our pleasure to stay at the Art Hotel Gran Paradiso. Thanks to Antoninino for extra shuttle runs to catch tour pickups at bottom of hill. A great stay!

The Hotel was modern, spacious and the service was delightful. Our Room was very large and a large balcony with two deck chairs overlooking the fabuous pool and sensational view of Sorrento and across the bay to Mt Vesuvius. Good breakfast and the Coffee bar was great. The shuttle was really handy as well. We really liked this hotel.

Our stay at the Art Gran Paradiso was lovely! Our room was nice and clean and we had a great view of the sea with a spacious balcony. The pool was the highlight for us, the view was amazing and the pool area was so chilled and relaxing. There was a pool bar that had delicious cocktails and food too. The staff were super friendly and helpful and there was a free shuttle bus into the centre as the hotel is located up a very steep hill!

The hotel was amazing! The food at this hotel was great. Breakfast included bacon, sausage and eggs. Lunch is offered by the pool. Lots of lunch options. Dinner was even better! We had beef and roast chicken one night. The pasta was fabulous. Our room was great and had an oversized balcony which made it even better. The shuttle bus service they offer is so convenient for getting into town and back.

Amazing views, we were upgraded to a sea view for free and our balcony was bigger than the room and very clean throughout. Friendly and helpful staff especially breakfast and bar staff. We had read that the breakfast was poor on previous reviews but I totally disagree. They have omelettes made to order, hot food, loads of fresh fruit and a huge variety of fresh pastries. They had a bowl full of gluten free options ready for me every morning but would have been great to have a separate gluten free toaster to avoid cross contamination. The pool area is lovely and there was singing in the bar one night so nice atmosphere.
