I have been to this hotel twice, at Christmas time both times but I am thinking about going at Easter this year.
This is a lovely old building with every room different, it is not the usual 'hotel room anywhere". The rooms vary in size and outlook, obviously but both times I went the rooms were spacious with tiled floors and comfortable furnishing. The second time I was in one of the older rooms and was thrown a bit by the bath taps labelled F and C! The dining room has large windows overlooking the Bay of Naples with Vesuvius across the water so you would get early warning:)
The staff are friendly and very helpful. I loved it.
PS for anyone who does not know Italian Fis cold C is hot, confusingly.

We stayed at the Hotel in August for our honeymoon. I really cant think of a bad word to say about it. The location is very central however the place feels like a real oasis with lush tropical gardens out front. If you are luicky enough to have a balcony facing the Bay of Naples its even better! The hotel is clean and well decorated. The staff were absolutley lovely so I do not understand the previous comment. They all wear very smart uniforms, provide a high quality of service and really went the extra mile I felt. I cannot recommend it highly enough!

This hotel has great potential but is let down by bad management. Restaurant staff looked as if they had been hand picked off a building site and you quickly learn to keep you knife and fork in your hands, if you don't your plate is in danger of being taken away before you finish. Staff at reception found it difficult to smile. Considering this is an important hotel I was surprised by poor food and general service. If you are travelling as a single person they put you in a small room which is really difficult to move around in.
The positive side is that you are centrally located and there is easy acces to Marina Piccolo which is the ferry station to Capri, Naples and Ischia. Probably better just to take bed and breakfast and eat dinner in the town.
Good hotel if you are looking for an expensive sleep in the centre of Sorrento in a room which is so so, of course if you are an important Italian the red carpet I am sure will be rolled out!

We travelled with Citalia In September. La Tramontana is in a perfect location (although the transfer from Naples is nausea inducing) a few minutes walk from the town centre, overlooking the Bay of Naples. Pay for the sea view or live to regret it. Breakfast lovely, evening meal - give it a miss. Spend a day on the sea front decking; pay for an umbrella and sun-beds and watch the Italians at play – priceless. Give Capri a miss as it is crowded and expensive.
