We had the most wonderful time in Sorrento, the Amalfi Coast and Polignano a Mare. Fabio took such wonderful care of us. He was very accessible and informative. Some highlights:
- The boat ride around Capril was wonderful! Our skipper, Luigi, was fantastic
- Our hike on the Path of the Gods was beautiful. It was a little more difficult than I expected, but our guide, Roberto, was great and was patient with us. Our driver that day, Ciro was wonderful.
- One of our favorite days was the road trip, and in particular - Ravello. What a beautiful town! Our driver that day, Marcello, was great!!!
- The cooking class at Chez Barone was so much fun - and yummy! We all had a really special time there
- In Polignano a Mare, the Masseria Aquaterrae was stunning. We were so pleasantly surprised. All of the staff were so kind and thoughtful and attentive. The rooms were beautiful and the grounds were amazing. The whole thing was so peaceful and enjoyable. One thing to note is that the location is not within walking distance of the town, but the front desk is more than happy to arrange for cabs.
- Our bike trip was definitely a highlight! Nico was a wonderful and friendly guide.
Thank you so much for everything!!!

Hotel Reviews
Hotel Cristina
Sorrento

The rooms were quite small and uninspired. The location is about a 20 minute walk from downtown Sorrento - and on a very steep hill. There is a shuttle, but catching them required a level of planning /coordinating that our group of 4 wasn't really able to do. All of that being said, the staff was lovely. The breakfast was very good. And the views from the pool and dining areas were quite lovely.
