The Hotel is so outdated. When I entered my room it smelled like a urinal. The walls are covered with some kind of fabrics, and there are stains on them. The windows curtains are dirty. The window glass is dark brown so there is no view, and you don't get any daylight into the room. The bed cover had wholes in it. And staff is very unfriendly, they simply don't care. I would not come here again even if it was for free.

This is the second time we have stayed at this hotel , and things have changed not all for the best . The same clean rooms , curtious staff and acceptable food although not the selection we had before 5 years previous . A dangerous walk into the village , beware !! The big shock was the tourist tax of 70 euros , classed on. 5* hotel , definitely not more like 4* .be prepared for this charge !!! Try to book a front facing room , we had a view of an old scaffolded building , not the best but quiet .

It looks like this hotel was once an amazing place. It's now a bit dated and needs some maintenance. The air-conditioning doesn't work, one of the lifts doesn't work, there is no spa or sauna. The room was spacious as was the bathroom, but the bed and pillows are extremely hard. The patio door hinges needed replacing as the door was very hard to open and close. There is a small fridge in the room with one bottle of water in it, the fridge door was very sticky for some reason. The hair dryer is worthless. There are 2 very small bottles of shampoo in the bathroom, you need to bring your own toiletries. Staff were friendly enough, food was reasonable but a bit repetitive and no pizza! Pool is small but nice enough, clean, but very cold! The location is a little remote but there is a free shuttle bus that takes you to central Sorrento every 2 hours or so. This is at best a 3 star hotel. It's lovely and quiet at this time of year and the air was absolutely full of the smell of orange blossom, literally full of aroma!! There is a half decent pizza restaurant around the corner. We walked to Sorrento, takes about 40 minutes, there is also a train station at the bottom of the road which we took to Pompei, the train there did catch fire though which was a bit of an adventure.

Lovely hotel. Incredible entrance/reception area. Great location, with a coach that takes you regularly to and from Sorrento. The restaurant and bar staff were fantastic: very friendly and helpful. Great food, with lots of different options, and new things every day (we went for 7 days). Room was nice, large, and cleaned daily. Great musical entertainment, with a tarantella band on one night being my personal favourite. Wonderful views of the mountains and vesuvius from our room.

Criticisms: though nice, the rooms were nothing special for a 5* hotel; the cleaner didn't pay attention to the do not disturb sign at all, and one time came in without even knocking while the sign was up; there could be more signage for the food, to know what allergens are in certain foods and what is vegetarian (I accidentally ate one or two things that had meat inside them but this was not disclosed); the pool was unheated (typical of Italy but still worth noting) and the sunbeds weren't hugely comfortable.

Overall: I'd highly recommend this hotel, especially if you're wanting to use it as a base to go to other places, less so if you're wanting more of a pool holiday. The dinner and bar staff were a particular highlight, I can't praise them enough.

We stayed for seven nights, all inclusive with Jet2 from the UK. Overall it's a perfect place if you want a quiet break and like self service buffet food.
Our room on the 5th floor had the 'garden view', which is a really spectacular view of the hills. Lower floors would not get this view however. From the front of the hotel you can see Vesuvius in the distance and the buildings going down to the coast. There is a free bus that regularly goes into Sorrento. We walked it regularly, it's about a mile. I recommend you look at a local map and avoid the busy main road (cross it and go parallel nearer the sea), for a safer, quieter journey.
The hotel is very clean and well looked after. As others have commented, it's not a five star hotel, but it has high quality marbles and gold finishes that make it look like opulence from the late 1960s. But this is Italy where there are many cultural differences, so me nothing at all to complain about.
Our room had a tiled floor with a large king bed which was on the firmer side. There was plenty of room for cases and three chairs. The air conditioning seemed to be locked at 16C, but we were able to cool the room by opening the large doors.
The pool has decent sun loungers around it and a bar area. It was quiet with no music playing. Not a great view but not overlooked.
Drink choices are limited to one type of red and white wine, one prosecco, peroni beer and cocktail choices. There is an upcharge for premium brands. It is unlimited all day.
Breakfast was the same every day with cereals and juices, bacon and egg, toast. Continental breakfast of cheese and ham, cakes and buns were also available. We made a packed lunch and the staff provided us a carryout bag.
The evening choices changed every day, a different soup every day. For mains one fish and two meat choices along with three pastas or rice. There was a large selection of cold vegetables and salad. Dessert choices were three cakes or profiteroles. After 7 days, I was starting to tire of the format, but overall I enjoyed the meal each night.
It's a great spot to go hiking from. Very hilly, but excellent views and quieter towns are accessible. There is a Sant Agnello train station that gets you to Pompeii. Buses from Sorrento go along the Amalfi Coast to Positano and Amalfi.
We really enjoyed our 7 day break at La Pace and would recommend it for a quiet sightseeing, pool and hiking break.

Difficile da raggiungere almeno se mezzo un po' grande un lusso antico del dopoguerra pulizia buona ma mangiare non troppo prelibato e scarso

Замечательный отель, чисто и уютно, отзывчивый персонал, вкусный завтрак, пешком до центра далековато, около 30 минут, но вроде есть шатл.

Außen hui, innen pfui!
Die Standardzimmer zu klein für zwei Personen, kaum Platz um Kleidung, Schuhe und Koffer unterzubringen. Die Textiltapeten in den Zimmern rochen feucht-schimmelig, kaum auszuhalten. Schwarzer Schimmel an der Duschverkleidung und Brausekopf. Beleuchtung nicht zum Lesen geeignet. Nur italienische und ein britischer Fernsehsender eingestellt. Massenabfertigung beim Essen, Kaffee ungenießbar, die Mitarbeiter wirkten auf uns unfreundlich. Unser Fazit - nie mehr!

Hotel is ok. But the rooms are a bit old fashioned and need a bit of a revamp. Definitely not a 5star in my opinion.

Our room, was large, very comfortable & quite. No in room coffee/tea service, disappointing.
Public areas are expansive & beautiful. Breakfast buffet was very good. Dinner buffet varied from not so good couple nights, then very good other nights.
Being American, the dinner selections were generous if you like pasta, cheese, cured meats and over cooked vegetables. The soups were delicious. Salads lacked any dark leafy green lettuce and only one dressing. Desserts & breads very good.
No baggage handling, this isn't 5 star but 4 star.
