For our three-week trip to Italy this May, we booked (5) different accommodations. IL NIDO (“The Nest” in Italian) was our favorite.
This family-owned boutique hotel was a combination of practical & charming.
Upon our arrival to Il Nido, we were warmly greeted by Dino and his sister Candida. They work exceptionally hard at addressing all your needs and concerns for a most relaxing lodging experience (I’m not sure when they even find time to sleep?!).
Our room had a comfortable and firm Queen-size bed with a small balcony & panoramic view.
The location being just outside of Sorrento was never a problem logistically. We were able to arrange our booked Viators to & from Mt. Vesuvius, Pompei and Positano/Amalfi Coast.
The free shuttle was perfect in that, Il Nido is the FINAL hotel pick-up in the morning to Sorrento proper, and the FIRST hotel drop-off at the end of the day. We rarely waited more than five-minutes for the shuttle bus each morning (there is a printed schedule of pick-up & drop-off times).
The FREE breakfast offers a W-I-D-E variety of food options plus fresh-squeezed orange juice and delicious coffee combinations (I usually had three cappuccinos). It was usually more than enough food to get you through the day until dinnertime.
Their dinner menu offered many tasty local Italian foods. The prices were quite reasonable. The portions were more than sufficient: We quickly figured out that we needed to split the main course and even side dishes.
The only property challenge for those with ambulatory issues might be the steep grade walking down the driveway or stairs to the front desk and back up to the street to the shuttle bus waiting area. There is parking on the roof which is street level. From there, the rooms/facilities are BELOW the roof since the hotel is built on the side of a hill.
Safe Travels!

This hotel provided excellent service and was very clean. The view Sorrento was a quick free shuttle away. Our room was spacious and updated. The complimentary breakfast was very complete and offered choice for all palettes. Loved the freshly squeezed orange juice! An excellent value. The in-house restaurant provided delicious food.

We loved our two days at Hotel Il Nido. The free shuttle bus to town is convenient and puts you right in the heart of the town. Since the hotel is a bit out of the town itself, it was quiet and peaceful with breathtaking views. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were always friendly and helpful; especially the manager who was knowledgeable and somehow always accessible. I will definitely stay here the next time I'm in Sorrento.

Room tip: We had a small terrace, which was a great place to relax and enjoy the view.

My wife and I just left the Il Nido in Sorrento this morning after a wonderful 6 night stay. First of all we loved the location being just a few minutes out of the hustle and bustle of the city center....it's so peaceful and the views are incredible. Also, the hotel has a free shuttle they share with 3-4 other close by hotels...it's very prompt and the drivers are excellent. 10-12 minutes you're in town.
The family that runs the Il Nido are great people; Dino is on top of it night and day. His brother Gianni is more behind the scenes but his presence is felt as the chef. Breakfast is basic but very tasty and filling....just what one needs to start a day of touring. We had a couple other meals (lunch and dinner) which were very good.
The room are spacious along with the bathrooms...both larger than many European hotels.

We would definitely stay at the Il Nido again if visiting the Amalfi Coast.

Recently returned from a much anticipated trip to Sorrento and Il Nido was our first port of call, chosen from the great reviews and it didn't disappoint. The hotel is small charming and very relaxing with amazing views. As a family of 4 we had a quadruple/family room with balcony and wonderful sea views across the Bay of Naples, room was spotless with queen bed and 2 singles however I felt it was a little cramped for our needs and the storage space was minimal so we had to live out of our suitcases. The bathroom was good size although again no real storage space, the monsoon shower was lovely, towels were unusual very lightweight cotton not towelling but were fine and replaced daily. We enjoyed a number of meals in the lovely restaurant with once again magnificent views, the quality and prices were very good with a nice selection of very reasonable wines. The breakfast was a little haphazard as I would say the usual self service was changed to service behind the counter and the staff were under some pressure at times, however this did not detract from the amazing freshly squeezed orange juice and wonderful coffee with delicious pastries we enjoyed each morning. As the hotel is situated 5km outside the centre of Sorrento the shuttle bus service into the town was excellent, running hourly with a break in the middle of day with last service returning at 11.30pm. We enjoyed the peaceful evenings sitting in the little reception areas with an after dinner drink and were treated with great warmth and hospitality by Dino and all the staff at all times, we were most touched and appreciative when on enquiring about a taxi to our next destination Dino himself drove us into town. If you are looking for a peaceful base near Sorrento with great views and very good value clean accommodation look no further than this little "nest" (Nido)!

The finest food and hospitality you could ask for. I was made to feel so welcome I did not want to return to England. The rooms are clean, the shower is excellent, the bed was large and soft, the view over the Bay of Naples is breathtaking . I stayed in November. A lovely birthday present myself
