We have just returned home after 7 nights at the Girasole. All the staff made us very welcome and couldn't do enough to help. The rooms were comfortable, breakfast in the beautiful garden sets you up for the day. The pool was ideal for a relaxing cooling swim after a day touring and sightseeing. The view from our balcony across the bay was stunning. Once again, on behalf of Ian, Michelle, Rebecca and Samantha, thank you so much.
We have recently returned from Sorrento having stayed at the Girasole. We found the staff to be warm and welcoming and helpful at all times.
Our room was comfortable with amazing views. Plentiful breakfast and a relaxing pool area after a day exploring Sorrento.
Girasole is a perfect base, so much so that we have already booked for 2012 :-)
We are very deeply disappointed that we cannot have a holiday this time, we will miss Sorrento, Amalfi and especially Hotel Girasole and its wonderful warmly welcoming staff very much. Hopefully we will be able to come in the autumn or early next year.
Girasole is a family-run hotel which offers a comfortable and restful atmosphere with truly excellent staff and affords superb views from its balconies. It has a breakfast bar / restaurant, pool and poolside snacks facilities. It is ideally set halfway between Sorrento and Sant Agnello where there are many restaurants, walks and views of the Bay of Naples. Excellent pack lunches are available on request.
There are frequent train services toward Naples, including Pompei and Herculaneum, also good bus services - both local (the orange or red/white EAV, formerly Circumvesuviana) and further afield (the blue SITA coaches) to places like Sant Agata, Massa, Positano, Grotta Smeralda (Emerald Grotto), Amalfi and onward from there to Ravello, Minori, Maiori and Salerno.
The Monti Lattari offer stunning views and of course theres the famous Amalfi Drive.
Back in Girasole, Rita offers a certain number of evening meals which are of a very high standard and you can sample local cuisine at its best. The hotel is ideal for a magnificent holiday, one which you will want to repeat again and again.

Our family of 4 (2 adults/2 teenagers) stayed at Hotel Girasole for 6 nights and enjoyed our stay there. Rita and her brothers were the perfect hosts and we definitely recommend this Hotel to everyone. It was lovely to have a pool to sit by, swim, read and relax after a long day of touring and shopping! Breakfast was wonderful but could do with real cappucinos and lattes!
Well done to everyone at Hotel Girasole.
