Maison Tofani

Beautiful hotel in the centre of Sorrento. We had a lovely bedroom which was very quiet in spite of looking out on to one of the main shopping streets. The room had a very comfortable bed with high quality bed linen. Excellent service from every member of staff from reception to breakfast service and housekeeping. The breakfast is very good with a good range and served in an elegant dining room with a beautifully painted ceiling. We had a problem with our shower and this was promptly addressed by the staff. There is a bar which we used with a good range of drinks although I don’t know if it is open after the staff finish at 9 pm. There is also a lovely roof terrace with comfortable furniture and wonderful views of the bay of Naples and Vesuvius. I have only one thing that I would suggest for improvement. The standard coffee was very weak. I asked for a double espresso on the second morning and it was delicious.

We stayed at Masion Tofani during our honeymoon trip. All of the reception staff were lovely, accommodating us as we were early and keeping our bags while the room was set up. The staff also placed our bags in the room for us. The hotel itself is beautiful. The roof area is lovely and gets lots of sun. The room that breakfast is held in is stunning. The breakfast offered (only €5 if not included in room price) is very extensive. There are pastries, hams, meats, pancakes, juices and an assortment of fruits. When we arrived in our room, we noticed that there were quite a few hairs on the floor, bath, dirt on the floor and a stained towel. We left our bags and went to explore Sorrento. Before leaving I shared my concerns with the receptionist, who stated they would ask for the room to be cleaned again. When we came back to the room, it did not appear to have been cleaned. We had to wipe the floor with some face wipes. The room itself was lovely. The mattress and pillows were very soft. The shower was a little tight, but there was also a bath. The bathroom suite is a little dated and could use a refresh. Also, a little note that the hotel does not offer an iron, only their laundry service which has a 24 hour turnaround time. In the morning, after the room has been reset, the floor was still dirty. We informed the receptionist, who called the cleaner. When we returned the floor has been cleaned, but the bath was still dirty. The hotel is centrally located, walking distance from Sorrento train station.

The hotel itself is beautiful “old Italy”, with the rooms being a refuge of comfort after staying at another accommodation locally. Gorgeous traditional center courtyard, in addition to a lovely rooftop to watch the colorful sunset skies over the city. The breakfast selection was extraordinary and served in a luxurious dining area. The service was outstanding in every respect, including making accommodation for unexpected pain after extensive walking and sightseeing. Also, even though our room windows opened up to one of the local streets with shops and vendors below, the windows were well insulated so we could sleep well. Happily, the location was well away from the main thoroughfare, where the sound of motorcycles can begin to grate on one’s nerves. Fabulous accommodation.

We always love our stay at the Maison Tofani. It is our home away from home. Thanks so much to Maria, Tony, Antonino, Manalissa and everyone else there. We always stay in the comfort junior suite. We had a great breakfast with many choices and our bed was comfortable. It is such a fantastic location, You really can't beat it. Also we eat at their restaurant every night La Lanterna. They also have L'Abate down the street. We always can't wait for our return. We will see you again next year!
