Torre Barbara

We stayed at this beautiful hotel. The staff had informed us of a coach company to book for our transfers prior to our stay. We arrive and the reception staff were amazing. They were friendly, professional and helped us navigate to local areas. The room was compact, but was very clean. Every day our beds were made and our pyjamas were folded. The restaurant staff were amazing, maria was fantastic. They welcomed us and made us feel really special. The food selection was amazing and the food was gorgeous, compliments to the chef. I would like to express my thanks for making our holiday an amazing experience.

Clean room Great staff

We had a lovely stay at Torre Barbara. We loved the views, our spacious room, the terrace with the restaurant and the outdoor pool. But more than anything the service and the attention from all the members of staff - friendly, corteous and caring! All of that more than outweighs a little bit noisy road just near the hotel and the challenges of parking and driving on the Sorrento peninsula :)

Superb!!! Great stay fantastic hotel with magnificent views,but what really makes this hotel special is the staff,quite simply brilliant, friendly helpful and they all go above and beyond to make your stay special.Which really makes this hotel extra special. Special mention to Pietro on reception for helping us out on our late arrival after a very troublesome journey. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough if you are thinking of staying in the area.A hidden gem. Thankyou to all the staff for an amazing stay.

Super busy road- very loud.

Beautiful setting with a wonderful restaurant. We ate there for breakfast and dinner and both were exceptional. The hotel is convenient to Sorrento, with breathtaking views.

Brakfast was great. Dinner was good too but a bit slow the service. View from the pool is outstanding My room did not have view but my brothers did and it was breathtaking. Staff is friendly and helpful. Is conveniently located between Naples and Positano. They offer shuttle services and tours that are more affordable. They clean your room every day. I would definitely recommend and would stay again 100%

Fabulous hotel the staff go above and beyond and make you feel that you are one of the family The rooms are spacious light and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again

Fantastic food in hotel restaurant, with great wine list; well-appointed, comfortable room; and excellent service from all members of staff, who are happy to go the extra mile (in one case, quite a few miles, literally, to save the day in his time off).

Excellent property great friendly and helpful staff…good restaurant and nice pool…great location and safe parking…would definitely stay there again…highly recommend!

The property is located away from the hustle bustle of the town and offers extraordinary views. that being said, you have to rely on the shuttle service which was convenient and prompt to get to the town or anywhere as walking is not advisable, having the shuttle service is helpful and necessary. The staff is extremely pleasant, personable and helpful.

The view from the property was good but it was in the area where there was limited transportation to and from hotel, there were hotel shuttles but the times were limited. The ac on the upstairs of the room was broken in the middle of the summer only the downstairs ac was working, it had a nice pool and restaurant with nice view

The property is quite small but that's its charm. The staff are so fiendly and very helpful, they almost become good friends. The rooms are clean and nicley decorated. There is a beautiful restaurant with delicious food and it has a stunning view from the balcony. It's hard to be negative but there are a couple if your being picky. The hotel is situated on the main road so can be a bit noisy. It's located a few miles from the town but there is a shuttle bus that runs you back and forth. Overall we loved our stay here and would come back in a heartbeat.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. The staff were genuinely kind, attentive, and eager to help at every opportunity. The view was truly breathtaking, and the property itself struck a perfect balance between comfort and charm—exactly the kind of experience we were hoping for in southern Italy. The food was fantastic, especially the included breakfast. A memorable stay in every way.

Resturant staff and the food were amazing.

This was by far our favourite hotel on our trip! It was clean, quiet, and easy to locate. We cannot say enough positive things about the staff; they were extremely kind and welcoming right from the start! They knew who we were by day one and would greet us each morning at the front desk and breakfast buffet, they knew our coffee order and always had a table set ready for us! The pool was also lovely and had plenty of comfy sun loungers to enjoy a beautiful view of the sea and sunset. We can’t wait to return in the future!

We had a great time at the hotel it’s gorgeous it has a shuttle and the service is incredible. The only issue my wife had they solved swiftly! Staff is friendly and great service. The hotels location is remote and there are no taxis so American tourists be aware my wife and I do t like to have a scheduled time to deport to get to town so the shuttle isn’t the most helpful.

Although not the easiest to access from the roadway once you did parking was available so convenient for anyone that was driving. The hotel is lovely with possibly the best staff of anywhere we stayed in Italy. They bent over backwards to help out with whatever we needed. We absolutely would stay there again and recommend it to others. Shoutout to Sara & Mirella at reception and Maria in the dining room. They were awesome.

Beautiful property, great views, friendly and helpful staff. We spent 5 nights here and loved it, would definitely come again. We had a sea view room that included a large terrace that is shared with the room next door. The only negative is that the hotel is located just above the main road from Vico Equense to Sorrento so you do have traffic noise with the terrace and balcony doors open and with those incredible views you will have them open. Breakfast was great too.

The view of the Bay of Naples & Mt. Vesuvius from my spacious balcony was amazing ! Food and staff were excellent! Although the hotel had a shuttle, the times for use were limited. We had to often hire a taxis at 25euro 1 way to the town of Vico Equense for dining, shopping & train service. All in all, this hotel was an excellent choice!

Hotel is old and dated. Terrible smells from sewers in the room. Staff were polite. Very basic.

The driveway was tricky to get in and out of but not the fault of the hotel that seems to be everywhere in that part of Italy small roads and small driveways if you rent a car make sure they don’t upgrade you to a larger one keep the small one. The view was absolutely beautiful the service by everyone in the restaurant was incredible the breakfast was perfect! Not a single complaint the food was delicious the coffee was excellent and he was perfect!

This was one of our longer stays on our 2 week trip to Italy, and the service was incredible. Clean, great breakfast, good location and incredible views from the terrance. All of the staff were so kind, welcoming, and helpful. One of the staff members stood out the most to us, and Of course I never got her name but her English is very clear and she's just the sweetest. She helped us with so much. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. Rent a Vespa, you won't regret it! Taxis are expensive!!

Terrific views of Vesuvius and the bay of Naples. Great shuttle bus service to and from local places. Restaurant terrace and food offer was very good. Lovely staff!

The hotel is next to a major road, and the cars passing by are very noisy. The sea room view only had a very small window in the room. You can hear people speaking in adjacent rooms. The staff were really lovely and accommodating, and the view is truly beautiful. It is a shame that it is so noisy, and that the room was unsatisfactory.

Aabsolutely gorgeous hotel with great staff. The hotel had free shuttle to the town nearby and it was very convenient and also the views from our room was spectacular. we received VIP service from the lady who checked us in, the gentleman that helped us with our six bags, the lady in the breakfast room every day with a great smile and the gentlemen serving the dinner. You will absolutely enjoy this hotel because it's imperfect location, you can take day trips from here to Capri from Sorrento's port and also take day trips to Amalfi coast and Positano and come back to this relaxing hotel .

Driving up steep driveway was inconvenient from main road

.

Beautiful place. Great view!!

Amazing place! Staff are lovely and cannot do enough for you. Fabulous views, clean and comfortable rooms with great breakfast with an added bonus of shuttle bus. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough.

The front desk and staff were all great. The hotel was clean and pretty location.

Did not have the room we booked. Tried to give us a shared balcony with an adjoining room. We cancelled and left immediately.

Amazing hotel with excellent service, food and atmosphere

Only problem with this hotel is it's location having a sharp turn in and out of car park if you are driving with it being on such a busy road. Everything else is great.

The hotel is amazing. Will recommend it to my friends and family.

We loved our stay here. Our room was quite spacious, the pool was amazing considering how hot it was. Very happy to have had AC and the meal at the restaurant overlooking the coast was amazing! The staff is also very friendly. Breakfast had a huge choice and everything was very fresh. Nice to have a place to park as well. Highly recommend.

The hotel is amazing and the staff as well! Maria was exceptional. I highly recommend this hotel.

Staff were amazing. Hotel beautiful and spotless. Views breathtaking. Food excellent. Would highly recommend.

My daughter and I arrived from Canada and absolutely loooved we are going back 1 more night after Amalfi on way to Florence All the women who run this place are AMAZING the best meals ever, and I come from designer chef the best Italian cooks - super clean, the view is out of this world you must stay here ! Maria is amazing! So is front desk ladies sooo nice ! The pool is so clean, the best cappuccino and breakfast this place is run TOP NOTCH. I would stay in vico equense any day over Sorrento !

Stunning views, close to Sorrento and Naples.

Just a magical place

The front staff were very helpful! The lady who managed the dining area was absolutely fantastic! The place was nice. The bathroom shower was clogged but I figured it out myself as it was late at night. The beds are definitely hard, but other than that the place was nice!

We had an amazing week at this hotel, the staff go above and beyond and are so helpful & friendly. We loved having breakfast on their beautiful terrace & served the best cappuccino ever overlooking the ocean with an amazing view of mount Vesuvius. We upgraded to a room (402) with a private balcony which was perfect to sit on with a drink overlooking the breathtaking view. Rooms were spotless & clean and perfect size. Admittedly, there is a bit of travelling back and forth to Sorrento but well worth being out of the hustle & bustle and taking advantage of the shuttle bus to get to the beach & train station for onward ventures. First trip to Italy but will definitely be back! ps A net at the pool would be helpful to remove any rouge bugs which gather.

Extremely relaxing!

Stylish hotel, comfortable room. Amazing views from hotel terrace. Service was excellent, as was the food in the hotel restaurant. Courtesy bus gets you to local beach and to a nearby town/station for a short train journey to Sorrento, and slightly longer ones to Pompeii and Naples. Good bars and restaurants in the town if you don't want to travel further afield. Other guests were friendly.

Very nice staff and great location

staff super polite and helpful geourgeos views quiet hotel for relax and chill.

My stay at The Torre Barbara was nothing short of perfect. The combination of accommodations, outstanding dining, comprehensive amenities, and impeccable service makes it a top choice for anyone visiting. I highly recommend this hotel and look forward to my next visit. Every staff member I encountered went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Their attention to detail and willingness to assist with any request made my experience truly memorable.

This hotel has beautiful gardens and the view of the Naples bay is truly breathtaking. The food was delicious but the friendly and helpful staff made our stay beyond enjoyable! Maria, at the restaurant was so accommodating and genuinely kind. Sara and Bene were super helpful to us, booking tours and taxis. We had a wonderful time and would be joyous to return and happily recommend this boutique hotel to other travellers! I would not recommend to stay here with small children.

We loved our stay here- the property was gorgeous, clean and had a beautiful restaurant with an unbeatable view and well as a pool a shuttle to areas nearby. The staff was incredibly kind and accommodating. Our only downsides were that the AC didn’t seem to work in our room and the wifi was hit or miss. Both issues were not super problematic considering it was cool enough to open the window in the nighttime and we otherwise weren’t in our room very often. Easily one of my favorite stays so far! The shuttle was incredible helpful, but do note that outside of the scheduled times it can be difficult to get to and from Sorrento as well as Vico Equense as other public transportation is not as reliable.

Very friendly staff. Sara is very kind and helpful

Excellent experience, everything was perfect and price more than fair for the excelent services. Great location and the staff 10/10.

Friendly staff and beautiful location

Very helpful friendly staff Superb choice of buffet breakfast Good restaurant food Room was immaculate & very comfortable Beautiful sea views

The view was amazing!

All the staff was very helpful including Maria, Mirella and Chiara. We very much enjoyed our stay at Torre Barbara

The staff were absolutely wonderful! So very friendly!! Also had the best shower we had in 3 1/2 weeks of traveling! We would definitely recommend this hotel! We were on the 4th floor and had a huge terrace with an amazing view! They also had an elevator which was also the first we had in Italy!

We have wonderful room and the breakfast was great. The service amazing and very helpful staff. Very recommended

Good value, excellent staff, nice view

This hotel has the most beautiful view imaginable. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was delicious. The beds are not the most comfortable things we've ever slept on, but all of the other advantages by far outweighed this issue. We would definitely stay there again.

The hotel is gorgeous and the staff were amazing. There is free shuttle service to the train station, downtown, and marina. The breakfast is out of this world with freshly pulled espressos or any coffees you want, there are chef created pastries and tarts as well as traditional breakfast foods. I highly recommend the location. The scenery is beautiful and the town is not too crowded. Once again the staff are amazing at reception, cleaners, and everyone in the restaurant. AA

very nice small hotel, great view of vesuvius from the terrace

Beautiful hotel with lovely, friendly and extremely helpful members of staff. View from the hotel was amazing! Our room was modern and clean and the breakfast was fantastic. Lovely garden area and pool which was good for relaxing days, in between sightseeing. Only slight issue was hotel is about 20mins to walk to nearest train station, Seiano and is on a very busy road which doesn’t have a pavement in some parts so feels a bit dangerous. There was a free shuttle bus to Vico Equense station but not as frequent as we would have liked so we resorted to walking every day. Taxis are about 25 euros from Vico station so we only did this once.

Cute place over looking the ocean. But the bed mattress was hard.

Amazing service with an amazing vista

Great view of Mt Vesuvius, convenient transportation to Pompeii (EAV bus train) with direct Curreri bus to Naples airport. Beautiful pool with great view. Free shuttle to/from Seiano Beach & Vico Equense train station starting 8am. Important to arrange transpo arrival/departure with Torre Barbara

We had a short but lovely stay at Torre Barbera. Room 402 is beautiful with an amazing view. Breakfast is plentiful and the staff are really helpful and welcoming. Thank you for a memorable stay in Vico. Nicki & Philip

We had a room with an amazing view! The property has a unique feel to it and was the great start to our Italian trip!

This hotel is AMAZING! The staff was very welcoming. Parking was easy. Breakfast is big and has many options. The rooms were beautiful but the beds are typical European firm beds. The pool was a little too cold but it was a beautiful area. The bartenders and restaurant staff were friendly and kind. Thank you Maria for being so friendly.

Very nice property with a great view of Naples & the bay. The staff has been excellent.

Pros: - Felt looked after by the restaurant manager at breakfast and dinner. Complimentary breakfast buffet did the job. - Air conditioning was great, room was kept cool during the hot summer temperatures. - The nearby town of Vico Equense was lovely and a great place to stop off before getting the train into Sorrento / Pompeii. - Amazing views over towards Mount Vesuvius - both from the room and the restaurant area. Cons: - The Wi-fi in our room (202) was dreadful. It kept dropping in and out and rarely got above two bars of signal. I found myself having to sit in the reception to download shows if we wanted to watch something in bed or on the bus/train/ferry. - Some of the bed sheets were marked and the bathroom fixtures were a little moldy. - The pool isn't much of a pool per say, merely a box of water to stand in which quickly collects drowned insects. - There is a free shuttle bus available (which would normally be a pro), however it does not look like the vehicle shown on the hotel's website and the driver does not announce he has arrived to those waiting at the pickup points. We later found out that it serves multiple hotels in the area. It came and went the first time we wanted to catch it, leaving us to use a much longer and less comfortable local bus back to the hotel.

Very clean and quite

5-star plus experience! We arrived about an hour late, due to construction near the Naples airport. The hotel's restaurant had just closed, but without us asking, they said they would seat us and put a meal together for us, and it was delicious! On that note, we ended up eating at the hotel restaurant three of the four nights because it was so good, we each got something different every night, and every night it was amazing. The hotel staff was just as impressive, they helped us coordinate transit wherever we needed to go, as well as a boat trip down the coast, tour of Pompeii, and more. Lastly, the room was clean and spacious, with the views over the sea. Thumbs up all around, I'd stay here again and confidently recommend it to anyone

Very special little place with excellent service (rooms and bar/food). Our private terrace looking out at Vesuvius was a highlight of our trip. The pool is lovely and perfect to relax between tours. All of the staff were kind and attentive. They greeted us by our names when they saw us at the pool and dining. Only regret is not staying longer!!

Stay was horrible, personnel ( ladies at the front desk) were rude and condescending.F desk ladies called our room to ask why I had left negative comments on the Hotel.com app after check in.Shuttle is either late or way too early, even when we called to schedule it 30 min before each time. Check-in was supposed to be at 2pm but lady at front desk argued that I was wrong. After waiting until 2:30 beds were not made, as I had requested 2 separate beds for me and my friend ahead of my stay. Internet is a hit or miss on the 1st floor rooms, of course rooms on the 1st floor do not have a view. I left 2 days ahead of my booking and didn’t even ask for a refund, I just wanted to leave. Did not feel welcomed or safe at the hotel, specially after the front desk called my room or every time I walked around they pointed at me ( I fully understand Italian). When talked to the front desk to express my concerns the lady said it was probably me because the other guests/reviews were happy/positive.Female server at the breakfast area yelled at me asking for my room #, but my friend and other guests were never asked for their room number. No one apologized or asked why we left ahead of time( 2 full nights). I have to recognize that I forgot a poster at the hotel and they were kind enough to mail it to the US, also offered a free taxi ride when the hotel shuttle did not show up and I needed to get to the train station for a tour.Those were nice gestures, still they kept 2 full nights.

This was the nicest place we stayed over our 16 days! The staff, the facility, the view, and the service were beyond our expectations! Thank you so much

Lovely Hotel and helpful staff would definitely stay again if I was going to the area

Fabulous view from our large room with great terrace. Very friendly staff and good breakfast.

The staff was AMAZING the property owner was pleasant and welcoming

Clean, comfortable room, good amenities, lovely view. Very competent helpful staff.

We had an amazing stay, the staff was incredibly kind and accomodating! The views are wonderful and our room was large and very clean.

Beautiful views, extremely helpful and friendly staff!

Great helpful staff! Made us feel at home. Shuttle service was hourly and was not in the order it was listed.

Torre Barbara is a Hidden Gem for sure! The views are just amazing, and they have a nice pool and friendly staff. We only stayed one night on our way back to Naples but would definitely stay again. The only thing was that our AC was not cooling as well because it was just so hot outside. Overall we had a great stay!

There are no words to express the beauty of the place, location decoration, space, and comfortable beds and pillows. The views are breathtaking. It’s an undercover place. What made the best experience was the attention of the people in the hotel, EVERYONE was just dedicated to give the best service to us. We are a family of 4 and it was just amazing. My only complaint is that I didn’t stay longer. I traveled for 10 days in Italy and it’s the best place I stayed. Forget the busy Almaffi or Positano, there is no comparison with this hotel.

It exceeded my expectations, the property is quaint with personality and amazing staff! The view was spectacular, only 18 mins to Pompeii and an hour from Amalfi coast. The Manager was super friendly, offered above and beyond service, including having the chef make our teenage son Caccio Pepe (spaghetti with cheese and pepper) on our last night - double portion to boot! We would return in a heartbeat 💕

Fantastic stay at Torre Barbara. Amazing views over the gulf of Naples and Vesuvius. Lovely hotel with brilliant, friendly, helpful staff, food was delicious & again the bar & serving team are amazing. Room was great and very clean, as was restaurant & garden pool area. Special mention to Renato, the hotel Manager, Angela, Sara & Maria. Renato personally took care of the excursions we wanted to take and his advice on the trips was spot on. All of the Torre Barbara team really care about the guests and it was a pleasure to stay at this wonderful hotel.

Really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Great coastal view of Naples. One thing to note, Expedia has this hotel listed as 3.82 miles to Positano, that distance is to Sorrento. Positano is farther, about a 30-40 minute drive.

Please be careful booking this hotel. Their website states it is a ‘few kilometres’ from Sorrento centre which is completely false. It is in fact 10km and a €70 cab. Also extremely unreasonable of the hotel to refuse us a refund when we were forced to move hotels, as a result of their own false advertisement. This is just one of many issues we had with this hotel.

The hotel has a great view. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Parking is a bit tricky and the signage can get better. Rooms are nice but the lobby furniture has the potential to be upgraded to better suit the entrance. Overall I recommend this hotel

The team from the Manager down can not do enough to please and look to make everything to a very high standard. Very welcoming and kind making the stay very pleasant.

Fantastic experience. Amazing service and very friendly staff. Great location and amazing view.

Excellent, staff were amazing, friendly and very helpful.

We LOVED Torre Barbara. Amazing location, views, food, and staff.

Lovely hotel. The staff are really helpful. The shuttle bus is really useful. Can thoroughly recommend.

Best thing about our stay was the outstanding staff members they all were so informative and helpful . We loved our stay and if we are ever back in Italy Torre Barbara is where we will define stay 😊🍕

great toons. Brilliant views from the terrace where you can eat and drink. They have a shuttle to the train station and you can get the train to Sorento in ten mins

We enjoyed having breakfast with the view of Mt Vesuvius. Location close to Sorrento so it was good we had our own car to go around. One issue though was the airconditioning in the room of my mother that was not cold. We reported it on Day 1 but the problem with the A/C was not fixed until check out. Suggest that they do regular maintenance specially that we stayed there in the summer.

We had such a great experience here! The train was a bit tricky (get off at Seiano, NOT Sorrento) but with quick email responses from Angela, she was able to guide us to the correct stop. The complimentary shuttle service was a godsend because those AMAZING cliffside views were not only jaw dropping beautiful but terrifying at times so I was grateful to not drive there, haha! Our driver was also very warm, welcoming and kind. Made us feel so at home and welcomed! The restaurant was incredibly delicious for dinner and for breakfast the next day. My son enjoyed the fact that there was a pool, while I enjoyed taking in the views of the Sorrento coast, Island of Capri and Mt. freakin' Vesuvius on the horizon!! AMAZING!! Our room was so cool and unique! It has a second story loft inside the room, a double door balcony that when I pulled back the curtains, I nearly fell to my knees in utter shock from how incredible the view was, so hard to believe!! There are gardens with vegetables, olive and lemon trees, gorgeous cascading flowers and vines. So cool! My only regret is that we were only able to stay one night because I swear, I could live there happily for the rest of my life! Book a room here, you will NOT regret it!! :)

This was definitely not a 4 star hotel. The pool is no more than an above ground large tub that is full of dead bugs and hair. We had to change our room due to the inability to access the wifi, making it impossible to do any research or send emails from the room. The original room was also very loud as it was right on the highway with no noise-cancelling windows, which made sleeping very difficult. The new room we were given due to the inefficient wifi was much quieter, however the morning of our departure the water stopped working; we couldn’t shower before flying back to the States!
