Marina Piccola 73 – A Favorite for Families in Sorrento

Marina Piccola 73 offers a one-of-a-kind Tower Room with panoramic views and a private terrace access, alongside Superior and Deluxe rooms that overlook the harbour or the Bay of Naples. The Maison Alice apartment provides self-catering space with a kitchen and washing machine, ideal for families seeking independence during longer stays. Each room is decorated with pastel colours and vintage furnishings, while bathrooms carved from the cliff rock add an unexpected architectural detail.

Breakfast is served daily on the large sea-view terrace, where Donatella presents handmade pastries, cakes, frittatas, and bruschetta in a sit-down format rather than a buffet. In the evening, the same terrace becomes a rooftop bar managed by Vincenzo, who creates custom cocktails based on each guest's taste preferences using no fixed menu. Coffee house on site is available downstairs, and the hotel also offers breakfast in the room or packed breakfasts for early departures.

Located 400 metres from Piazza Tasso and 600 metres from Sorrento Train Station, the hotel sits directly on the harbour where ferries to Capri, Amalfi, and Positano depart from the adjacent dock. Public lift access to the town centre costs €1.20 per journey and is a 5-minute walk along the beachfront, while guests with small cars can request free on-site parking. The steps to the main square are about 200 feet, offering an alternative route for those who prefer exercise over the lift.

Families can book the self-catering Maison Alice apartment, which includes a separate kitchen and washing machine for longer stays, with the hotel able to add an extra bed to certain double rooms at €30 per night. The hotel welcomes small pets, allowing guests to travel with their companions without leaving them behind. A resident cat named Joe Black adds to the friendly, home-like atmosphere and often mingles with guests on the terrace.

Concierge services including tour desk, luggage storage, and car hire are managed by Mariarita and Alice, who also arrange private taxis and boat charters for Amalfi Coast day trips. Daily housekeeping, fax/photocopying, and laundry services keep operations smooth, while the hotel's CCTV and safety deposit box provide security for guests. Air conditioning and heating are present in all rooms, and the lift makes upper floors accessible despite the historic building's layout.
