The property is away from the Sorrento train station. So, if you don’t have a car and need to rely on public transportation, be aware that the buses are not reliable and they might not stop for you if the bus is already full. There is no handicap access to the place.

The view is astounding! From the terrace, you can see the bay, the sunset, the Vulcan and Pompeii. The room is spacious and the nuns are very accommodating. We had a tour booked and they anticipated the breakfast time for an earlier hour, so that we could eat.

The location was remote, but once we got used to the bus, it wasn’t a problem.

The sisters were friendly and extremely helpful. When the taxi the ordered for us didn’t show up, one of the sisters drove us to the port. Breakfast pastries were a treat. The views were stunning.

Very steep hill to the property if you don't have drive or have a disability. Quite far from sorrento centre as you need to get a bus or taxi there and back.

The sister's were very helpful with explaining about the bus times and how to get to sorrento and back . The rooms were clean and had fresh towels everyday. The views from the terrace were fantastic. The gardens are lovely to walk around, have a few animals there such as a goat, chickens and peacocks.The breakfast was very good value , €5 per person

WiFi needs improvement

Very comfortable beds in a big room with modern spacious bathroom. The sisters of this monastery are extremely kind and helpful. The breakfast was basic but good. We got fresh eggs every morning. Amazing garden area and rooftop with spectacular view on Vesuv, the sea and Sorrento. Highly recommended

Far from city center, public transport very rare.

Sisters are very helpful, beautiful sight over Sorrento, peaceful. Very clean

The property is rather far from the town centre and you need a car or some other form of transport to get to it. It's not a negative point but needs to be considered, especially if you prefer to be in the centre in the evening.

The views were amazing, and the rooms were very clean. The property is on a hill at the top of the town. The sisters were very helpful. The breakfast was good.

Towels were not great. A kettle and some cups in the room would have been nice.

Fantastic views. Peaceful . Very clean. A warm welcome.

It's located a long way from the centre of Sorrento and a big inconvenient if you don't have a car. Once we got the buses sorted it was OK but we did spend quite a lot of time waiting, especially for the return from Sorrento

Really nice clean room with good facilities. Nice breakfast. The nuns that run it are extremely friendly and very helpful.

It is a bit removed from the Sorrento center, so if you have a car, it is no issue. But, as we traveled by bus, which by the way is not always punctual, it could be an irritant. But, on the positive side, you have the opportunity to hike up and down while absorbing the beautiful views of the bay and Vesuvius from the serpentine mountain side roads passing by beautifully decorated local gardens with orange orchards.

It was an amazing place, with the view of Vesuvius over the bay of Naples in the background. And the staff? This place is run by a few catholic nuns. What do you expect? My daughter already wants to visit again next year :)

So cozy and beautiful views, everyone was so helpful and accommodating we found we had a flat tire in the am and everyone rallied to help us find help and get it sorted. A lovely weekend away and very close to town

It’s about 2km from the town so a car is essential to get there if you need access to food etc. Also need to be a good driver as the road leading to the house is steep & narrow.

It’s a spacious house with a lovely big garden filled with lemon, orange & olive trees. Very cosy place hosted by warm & friendly nuns who gave us good breakfast every morning. Felt very welcomed - like a family.

Beautifully located on the hillside of Sorrento with Vesuvius and the whole bay in the front. A garden with lemon and orange surround the house. The sisters were very nice and took good care of us. Good spot for walking with signposted path’s just round the corner.

The light in the bathroom, it was on a sensor. During showering it kept going off, we had to keep opening the shower door to turn the light on. There are no windows in the bathroom so it was very very dark.

The view from the balcony was amazing. Sisters were very very friendly, accommodating and attentive. No trouble to ask for extra pillows, I sent a message via the booking.com app to ask for more pillows, when we got back to the room they were there. Three of us stayed in a triple room, there was plenty of space. Lots of car parking. We were sorry we couldn't say goodbye, we couldn't see anyone around when we left - thank you for having us!

IExtraordinary view from the terrace to Napoli and Vesuv. Nice garden. Breakfast is done with love, even fruit, eggs and home made " dolce " are available. I am happy I had the opportunity to stay in this convent with friendly sisters.

The hosts were absolutely wonderful to us. Breakfast was yummy and the view from the balcony would not have been better....gorgeous! They were quite helpful in getting us to our tour meet up locations. The sisters were lovely!

Arriving by car may be a bit challenging for less skilled drivers due to very steep and narrow road that leads to the monastery. Once you are through, you are in a very safe area though.

Very quiet, peaceful and safe place, amazing view from the terrace. Could spend all day watching the Sorrento bay from the terrace. Beautiful and well maintained garden and spacious private parking. Guests are greeted by a very welcoming nun, explaining how everything works. Room as expected, tidy and clean. Breakfast simple yet satisfactory, complemented by local mandarins from the garden and selection home made jam.

Driving and parking is scary as it's on a steep embankment but totally worth it.

A surprisingly modern stay. One of the sisters greeted us at the gate and gave us a tour of the property and a bit of history which I thought was very nice. The terrace opens up to a view of the sea which offers a great place to start the day. The room was clean and orderly and opened to the terrace.

Difficult to move as buses are not always easy to catch, better to rent a moto or car if staying here

Host is really nice

Very strange that the pillows were too high and hard. You really need to have the correct bus timetable for trips to and from Sorrento. I think you can pay cash on them but the sisters sold us bus cards. Sita bus leaves from Sorrento station (and other stops). The timetables I googled were not accurate. Go to Santa Agata via Nastro Verde. Or Priora. Could have happily just stayed at the guesthouse rather than go down to busy Sorrento. Note: great good-value restaurant nearby, Il Borgo, but closed on Monday!

We came for the views and the Franciscan(?) sisters. They were deeply kind and warm. One spoke excellent English. They were spiritually inspiring for me, as were the little quotes about the place. The view of the water and volcano from the shared terrace was spectacular with many tables and chairs. We usually had it to ourselves actually. Breakfast was great in a room downstairs. The property was very lovely to walk around outside. Even had a stream. And a beautiful chapel. Don’t panic! It is an open guesthouse, there are ashtrays on the deck and I am sure you could have a glass of wine.
