Came here as a member of singles group. Bedroom was abysmal. One small window overlooking rear road. Double bed (quite comfortable) however only single wardrobe which unable to open door as opened on to small bedside shelf therefore unable to use two drawers in wardrobe. Safe in wardrobe ok. Bathroom and shower ok. No dressing table and limited storage space.View over rear of property. I feel this was quite unacceptable bearing in mind holiday booked in Jan 04.

The Hotel was well presented, in reception and dining room, but our room was very small and claustrophobic. Some areas in the bathroom were not cleaned properly. We went half broad and I wish we had not, the breakfast was boring e.g. bread with jam but no hot food like bacon and eggs. The evening meal was a disappointment as we were sat with other people we did not know. A waiter seaved us most nights and he was rude, igoring us and I did not see him smile once. The menu was unsatisfactory. There was limited choice and when you go to Italy you would think their would have been a wider choice of Italian food than was available. This was very disappointing. The menu had only some sort of meat with vegetables and potatoes, and the vegetarian option was omlette every night. One night which was my birthday night, we had to leave our meal as it tasted awful. I feel that food is a big part of a holiday, so I feel a part of my holiday was ruined.

We stayed in the Jaccarino after being moved from the dreadful Hotel Club. The hotel is perched on the cliffs a couple of kilometres above Sorrento in the town of S'

We loved this hotel, but it may not be for everyone!
It is quite old- fashioned with regard to decor, furnishings and style, but not shabby! It was very well cleaned and maintained, and staff were unobtrusive but helpful, especially in the restaurant.
The pool is lovely, and the outside restaurant serves excellent lunches, reasonably priced. A terrace outside the bar takes advantage of the views, although bar staff can be hard to find in the daytime.
It's biggest asset is the view- set high on the hillside above Sorrento in the village of Sant' Agata. There are several hotels in this area, but the Jaccarino is not isolated like some, as it is only 100 yards from the village which has shops, cafes, bars, taxis and buses, and lovely walks. The walk down to Sorrento is picturesque but not for the faint hearted or less mobile holiday maker, and you'd have to be mad to walk back up!
Fortunately the hotel has a minibus service- best booked the night before, and there are frequent buses both from outside the hotel and from the village centre.
The food on the half board option was good and varied- one night a week is "banquet buffet" night, other nights waiter service from 3 options on menu. Table sharing is the norm- there are very few tables for 2, and you share with different people each night. There was no entertainment at all, but some of the bars in the village have things going on. It is definitely worth having a room with a balcony and sea view, although these do not get much sun.
