Somma Vesuviana Holidays from AU$3,376

Overall this hotel is excellent. The whole hotel is spotless and beautifully appointed. All the staff are superb (special mention for all the restaurant and bar staff) The dining room and outside terrace are fantastic and the food is excellent, although a little expensive (having written that with the beautiful surroundings and superb service I think this is to be expected - you get what you pay for is the saying). The hotel is quite high up which leads it to having superb views of Mount Vesuvius, the Bay of Naples and the surrounding areas but is also a little inaccessible other than by taxi, bus or the complimentary hourly shuttle which is laid on by the hotel. The shuttle drivers were very friendly and helpful, however the shuttle only holds 20 people and sometimes everyone couldn't fit on or some people were standing which was a little uncomfortable going around all the curvy bends in the narrow roads, also not ideal for a tall guy like me. (I'd suggest a second or bigger shuttle). The pool is beautiful and always clean with sunbeds and brollies always available any time of day, a special mention for Nello, the pool guy, who greeted us with a smile and towels every day and even moved the brolly around to give us sun or shade. I'd fully recommend this fantastic hotel for adults and older children who are good swimmers (the pool is accessible by steps in a small shallow end but quickly becomes very deep with no exit ladders in the deep end).

Incredible service and helpful staff. Great location. Central to city center but not in the middle of the mess of cruise crowds

The staff at Miramare was incredible. Very responsive, friendly and helpful relative to suggestions and bookings for restaurants, activities, excursions, etc. They also went out their way to assist with some unforeseen printing needs we had. The facility is very clean and well maintained. Our balcony room was terrific given the spatial "build on the side of a mountain" constraints of Positano. Gorgeous views!! Conveniently located between the main street above and beach/marina area below - made navigating the many stairways less cumbersome.

Staff are very att.

Staff very helpful and friendly. Their Ristorante D’Aiello is excellent as well.
