Il Chiostro

Il Chiostro, a former monastery is a 75 euro taxi ride outside Sorrento, at least that is what we were charged. Maria is very helpful and friendly but be aware, there is no bus service to the Relais and it is a 600 metre steep uphill walk from the main road. Impossible if you have luggage. The only practical way to get to Sorrento is by bus walking down and up the hill unless you rent a car or scooter. There are no restaurants in the vicinity although Maria can arrange a free ride to and from a restaurant in Annunziata, a village relatively close by. The rooms are small, the bathroom is good for one person at a time. It is peaceful and quiet, breakfast is adequate but think carefully if this is the right place for you. In the end we were ok but I can’t say this is what we expected.

María was just great

Scortesia e arroganza della signora alla reception senza eguali. Un mulo avrebbe fatto meglio al telefono...Chi ha a che fare con i clienti deve avere garbo e cortesia cosa purtroppo che non appartiene a questo posto dal titolare alla dipendente.

De película de terror, las habitaciones son celdas, esta sucio y huele a moho, las fotos de booking no se corresponden con la realidad, había pagado dos noches y me fui a los 5 minutos. Es una vergüenza que alquilen estas habitaciones. El comedor son unos pasillos, huele a moho, todo es viejo

How this got 4.5 stars is a mystery to me. Misleading photos, no food nearby, and not close to Sorrento to walk or drive. If you want to come live as the monks once did, this is your place. No one was physically present to greet us, the room was stark and guests are isolated in this monastery. Not what the photos indicate. Beware.
