Marina Piccola 73

My husband and I started our 30th anniversary trip to Italy in Sorrento last month. When I began to plan the trip and determined Sorrento would be our first base, I was torn between this lovely hotel down in the marina and a larger hotel up on the cliffs. I am so thankful that I chose Marina Picolla 73! We chose a balcony, sea-view room and the view did not disappoint. To wake up to the sound of ship horns, sea gulls cawing and waves gently lapping the shore was such a treat. The room was spacious and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. The bathroom was large and had nice amenities and robes and slippers! Breakfast is served on a terrace with an amazing view. Donatella was delightful. She made an excellent cappucino and provided us with delicious treats for breakfast, including her homemade cake. You can also request eggs for breakfast if you want, but we never did. She also told us about the resident sea gulls and how she helped the daddy sea gull when he arrived with fishing line wrapped around his leg which makes him now walk with a little limp. We loved this location. You can get up to the main part of Sorrento a few ways: Taxi, bus, lift or walk. We mainly used the stairs accessed by walking along the sidewalk which runs along the cliff. These stairs take you directly to Piazza Tasso. You can also walk along the marina and once you get to the Marameo beach club you can either take the lift up for a few Euro or enter a path which zig zags up the hill and ends up at the Villa Comunale Di Sorrento where you can enjoy a fabulous view of the bay! From here it is just a short walk into the magical streets of Sorrento. Mariarita in the office was very welcoming when we arrived. Unfortunately for us, our flight was delayed overnight in London on what was to be our first night, and Mariarita was very responsive in helping us with our airport transfers the day we were to arrive. She also set us up with a private driver to take us back to Naples on the day we left for Sicily, and he was one of my favorite drivers of the entire trip! This hotel is beyond charming and magical. We will not stay anywhere else when we return to Sorrento!

We enjoyed an amazing stay in Marina Piccola - beautiful bedroom suite, delicious breakfast provided by Donnatella, excellent location, super friendly and helpful staff (really helpful restaurant recommendations), very easy walk into the centre of Sorrento. We loved it!

This hotel is beautiful. Couldn’t dream of a better location. The rooftop bar was gorgeous and Vincenzo took such good care of us. The cocktails are top notch. Mary greeted us and was so kind and helpful. Do not skip this place! Best place we stayed over the course of two weeks in Europe.

This is the most amazing hotel I’ve ever been to! We stayed in the terrace room and it was so cool and unique, with a great view of the harbor. The breakfasts are delicious and the service impeccable. The owners make sure to attend to every detail and coordinated transport, tours, and other services for us. Can’t say enough about how wonderful this place is!

We absolutely loved our stay at Marina Piccola 73. Everything from the decor, food, service, views was exceptional. The location is perfect, we loved being right by the water, and it was easy & scenic to get up to the main part of town when needed. We hired a scooter and Alice was so helpful with organising this for us. The breakfasts on the terrace were incredible, Donnatella made and served the delicious food & coffee, always with a big smile & very friendly. Would love to stay here again. Melissa and Paul

The entire staff was lovely and the rooms were comfortable and clean. We especially enjoyed Donatella’s delicious fresh baked cakes (both sweet and ones with vegetables) for breakfast! Eating on the rooftop terrace, overlooking the marina, was the perfect way to start the day.

This was one of the best stay experiences. We had booked a suite for my wife’s birthday on our trip through the Amalfi. And Elise and Maria Rita made our stay experience very personalised. The breakfast and the view is to die for. Donatello prepares the best breakfast, and it’s not a buffet. She gets you the best of the dishes. And the highlight is Mr. Vincenzo, he manages the bar at night. And prepares the best cocktails none of the cocktails are on the menu. He can make you a cocktail basis your mood, and he’s a fun guy. He’s pure mixologist, his knowledge is immense. I loved it!

We had a Dark and Spicy and a Shining Dragon for our Happy Hour. Enzo took such good care of us! He is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about what he creates. He listens to what you like and makes suggestions. He introduced us to new tastes and smells that go together in his beautiful and creative cocktails.

This was above and beyond the most amazing stay my wife and I have ever experienced. The rooms were beautiful and extremely clean and welcoming. The views from the terrace were unmatched compared to anywhere else in the city, and the breakfast was magnificent. The staff went above and beyond to help with any request we had and could not of been more helpful. Out of anywhere to travel and stay in all of Italy Marina Piccola 73 would be our first recommendation every time! 15/10
