The Grand Hotel Due Golfi perches majestically on a hill high over Sorrento. The view from the pool and the balcony (we booked a sea view room) was awe-inspiring. The Bay of Naples, Naples, Sorrento and Mt Vesuvius are all laid out at your feet. The rooms were well appointed and the beds were comfortable. The staff was friendly and went out of their way for us, valet parking the car, making tour arrangements for us on short notice (boat to Amalfi, tour to Pompeii and Herculaneum), reserving shuttles to Sorrento (which is a bit of a long twisty ride, they are up on top of a mountain after all and riding in the front is not for the faint of heart, but can be quite exciting sometimes). The food at breakfast and in the evening was awesome. Many of the restaurants in Sorrento had more selection, but after a long day sightseeing it was nice to just be able to slip down to the in-house restaurant, no navigating crowds or dodging scooters in the half darkness of evening. The infinity pool was incredible, if a bit cool on a cloudy October evening. While not inexpensive, it was quite a bargain compared to many other hotels in the area with remotely the same view and level of accommodation. It satisfied my bucket list requirements for a memorable trip to the region.
All in all it was a fantastic stay and I would rebook in a heartbeat.
