La Cocumella is amazing! I can't say enough good things about it! The entire staff went above and beyond in all aspects. The location of Cocumella is a quick shuttle away from the main square/center. The shuttle is available during convenient hours, and when it is not available, the walk to the main square is quite enjoyable as well. The concierge is also very helpful at organizing a taxi if needed. The views at Cocumella are absolutely stunning and the grounds soooo beautiful. Our rooms were so unique and wonderful ( we stayed in Junior suite, & Junior suite duplex). The nightly turndown team also did a great job and was a nice touch! The food and service was impeccable. Each restaurant on premises was delicious and had wonderful service and ambiance. Make sure to stop by L'Argumeto for a poolside wood-fired pizza!! The service staff always had smiles and paid wonderful attention. The bartender, Genaro, is one of a kind! He is so much fun to hang out with at the bar and makes the most amazing cocktails. He truly added to an incredible experience during our stay. The concierge staff is so wonderful as well. The manager, Michele did everything in his power to accommodate our requests during our stay and truly went above and beyond to make our stay the most enjoyable! Giuseppe, from concierge was also wonderful and extremely helpful. We had left a valuable item in our hotel room and he graciously helped us get it back to the United States with ease. 10/10 would recommend. We look forward to future stays at La Cocumella!

For starters, the service at the Grand Hotel Cocumella is a 6+, the grounds are lovely at least a 5, but the room/sleeping experience was a 2, if I'm being generous. The room itself could use some sprucing up, but for a hotel that age it was forgivable. What was...

For starters, the service at the Grand Hotel Cocumella is a 6+, the grounds are lovely at least a 5, but the room/sleeping experience was a 2, if I'm being generous. The room itself could use some sprucing up, but for a hotel that age it was forgivable. What was NOT OKAY was that we had a front facing room, the air conditioning did not work and it was pretty warm weather, so we had no choice but to leave the window open, and it was LOUD. Unbelievably loud. Jackhammer/leaf blower/Indy 500 loud. The road fronting the hotel is extremely busy all night long, with a preponderance of muffler-less scooters and trucks. Also, the location is somewhat inconvenient. It's a long walk from downtown and the shuttle ceases running at 9:00 p.m.. Huh??? Italians don't even sit down to dinner until then! Combine that with the mind-exploding costs of Sorrento taxis and it makes this hotel location less than ideal.

Very nice place but a four star hotel:…Lovely grounds and spacious junior suite oftset by 1.smoke wafting into main hotel (so move smoking area!) 2.there isnt always a person at the front desk or concierge 3.phone system broken 4.staffing somewhat uneven 5.wacky situation at waterfront results in TSA precheck style...

I was about to pay to use the dock but figured out at the last minute that i didn’t have to. If they can fix half of theses things, would consider a five star. Hotel should tell staff not to take/have personal phone calls while guests are waiting.

This is such a charming little hotel in Italy. Close enough to Sorrento to spend a day or catch a ferry, but tucked away and kept intimate. Phenomenal breakfast in the mornings and amazing views in the evening. Plus the team behind the scenes was always willing to go the extra mile for my wife & I. The type of hotel you book and hope it lives up to the pictures online, and it most certainly does. 3 nights was not nearly enough!

We stayed here for three nights in late June, as a stage on our road trip from Rome to Sicily. Our agent had booked our accommodation for us and we were absolutely delighted with the Grand Hotel Cocumella! We received a very warm and friendly welcome from the staff on arrival, and were quickly shown to our spacious room, which was very clean and inviting, with a huge, comfortable, bed. The thick walls and solid doors in this lovely building make it easy to get a peaceful night's sleep. The hotel is a villa style property, beautifully located overlooking the stunning Bay of Naples, with views towards the distant city and Mount Vesuvius. It has lovely gardens, containing orange and lemon trees, which lead down to the clifftop above the water, and to the terrace restaurant, Coku. There is a large, well - maintained, and very clean swimming pool in the grounds with a bar area and plenty of shady areas to stay cool surrounding it, or sunny spots for sun-worshippers. Although we didn't use it, there is a tennis court, with equipment available at the desk. The breakfast room is inside the main building and is a lovely bright room, with plenty of space. The food selection at breakfast is really excellent - a mix of buffet-style and made to order dishes if you wish. There are three restaurants at the hotel - our choice was Coku, because of its position overlooking the sea, and also for the great quality fusion menu! We chose to eat at Coku each night of our stay simply because we enjoyed the food so much, and because the staff were unfailingly helpful, friendly, and very efficient. They seemed to know exactly when we were ready for our next course, or if we needed anything, but were not at all intrusive - just what you want. The other highlights of Coku are its beautiful location and truly stunning sunsets! All of the hotel staff we met were incredibly helpful and efficient - most spoke perfect English (far better than our Italian!), and we felt very welcome guests. The service levels are as good as you would hope for - for example, the very useful shuttle into Sorrento centre is available on request. Just ask at the desk and it will take you into town, or come and collect you if you call the hotel. We loved this hotel, and recommend it to anyone visiting the Sorrento area. There is a rail station nearby if you want to take the train to Pompeii, and there are ferries to Capri, Amalfi, and numerous other destinations available at the port.

A lovely hotel in a great location. With fantastic staff. The hotel is well appointed, and the hotel staff is so accommodating. Guiseppe can secure ferry tickets for you. Nicola runs the shuttle bus to and from the depot making it easy to get in and out of town. Michael and David are excelled wait staff, and remember us every night. The pool is nice and quiet. The beach, while small was perfect, and if you didn’t like the beach, there was a dock for sunbathing that also had access to the water. Be sure to bring swim shoes! The included breakfast was fantastic with fresh baked cakes and pastries as well as a selection of meats and cheeses. Nightly turn down service included some nice touches. This hotel is a great home base for daily excursions to the rest of the region. 10/10 would stay here again!

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about grand Hotel Cocumella! My husband and I recently took a trip to the Amalfi Coast to get married in Sorrento before honeymooning in Positano. When planning our elopement, we quickly knew Hotel Cocumella was our dream venue as it had incredible views, an unbeatable location, and beautiful property. The manager, Michele, helped us arrange the details of our elopement ceremony. As planning a ceremony abroad can feel daunting, we had many questions and probably called the hotel too often. However, Michele always responded to our inquiries with patience, and he went out of his way during the hotel's busiest season to coordinate the details of our ceremony. He found us a florist, a violinist, and arranged a private dinner for us. Hotel Cocumella's serene and intimate environment provided the perfect space for our big day! Our stay at Hotel Cocumella succeeded our expectations. The gardens, suites, and every piece of the hotel are absolutely breathtaking. The staff is welcoming, intentional, and kind. We were sad our stay wasn't longer, but we'll definitely visit again soon. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Sorrento!

We stayed at the Cocumella at the end of a 2 week tour around Italy and were disappointed. Before going into the details, I should say that all the staff were lovely. However, this hotel is rundown and needs some TLC! The lobby reeks of stale cigarette smoke and the corridors by the rooms looked dirty and sweaty - not what you would expect in a 5* hotel! Then, the rooms are small and outdated. We were “upgraded” from a two level suite to a new suite, however compared to other rooms we had stayed in that holiday this felt more like a Premier Inn than a 5* hotel! The beds were comfy, however the rooms felt bare and tired - the floor is cheap laminated wood and the walls plain. Additionally, we had to pay for water in the room, despite paying almost £700 per night - surely water is just a common courtesy in a 5* hotel? The interior of the hotel downstairs is also tired. The breakfast room feels like a 1970s prom, and we felt it didn’t accentuate the best parts about the hotel (e.g. the gardens and views of the coastline!). Additionally, I had a manicure; again, this was extremely underwhelming as the spa / gym area again feels tired. They couldn’t get the aircon to work in the gym - it felt neglected. There really is so much potential here if there was some investment! The hotel also kindly runs a shuttle into the centre of Sorrento everyday, however the shuttle doesn’t run between 1pm -4pm so if you go out for lunch you have to walk back to the hotel for 25mins. This is not what I would expect of a 5* hotel. The gardens, pool, tennis court and restaurants are lovely and really highlight the potential this hotel has. The Asian fusion restaurant by the seafront in particular is lovely and the staff are great. Overall, we were left with a bitter taste in our mouths having paid for a 5* hotel but not having received a 5* experience. If there were to be some investment into the hotel this could be THE place to stay.

I had the chance to end my summer vacation in this amazing hotel and stayed for 2 nights. The check-in experience was very fast, and the staff were very friendly. The hotel's pool and beach are beautiful. I had lunch with my wife at the pool and the food was very tasty and delicious. The breakfast is also very rich with tasty food. The hotel secures a shuttle that took us every day to the downtown. I need to send a big "Thank you" to Mr. Giuseppe Di Pietro the hotel's chef concierge who did his best to make our experience a great one

We loved it! An absolutely breathtaking property with lovely staff that will treat you like family. Giuseppe is a masterful concierge who takes pride in his work. We had been hoping to utilize their exclusive yacht, The Vera, for a day trip to Capri. It’s available to rent privately or, if enough hotel guests are willing to split it, an individual rate. We had been messaging the hotel well in advance hoping to find a share group as the private rate was more than we wanted to spend. Unfortunately, when we checked in, no other guests had inquired for our dates. Giuseppe said “let me work on this” and sent us off to dinner. Around 8pm (working late!) he calls to let us know he hustled up a big enough group to make it happen. Amazing! And his restaurant recommendations were spot on - he read us perfectly. As for the Vera, what a once in a lifetime experience. The crew is amazing, the lunch spread was incredible, and I mean - cmon' we swam off the coast of Capri on “our own” 1880 sailing yacht for a shockingly reasonable price. The grounds are nothing short of enchanting as you walk through a citrus grove to a breathtaking plaza cliff overlooking the sun deck and Vera below. The pool is stunning. It’s our favorite ever. Lunch surrounded by orange and lemon trees is a must. The food is excellent. Breakfast spread is great. The breakfast and lunch manager is a total pro (I’m sorry I forgot his name!). The late night bar staff are familial and lovely. The room was cozy and unique (remember this is a former monastery and the property remains much of that charm). Shower was good. Location is excellent, a short 10-20 minute walk to Sorrento and the hotel shuttle is also speedy and comfortable and drops you just outside the main square. Given the beauty and sprawling space of the property, I’d prefer this location over one in town.

The hotel is simply beautiful and the staff made our stay an amazing experience. The food, service and facilities were more than 5* We get engaged whilst we were here and we couldn’t be happier to have shared it with the Cocumella. We will be back.
