Ara Maris

The hotel is located half way between the station and the harbour. From the top floor there are beautiful views and very relaxing. The hotel is new and everything looks nice and clean, rooms are decorated in blue and white with nice furniture and a comfortable bed. Nice pool and plenty of food places around, although it is classed as a 4* it could easily be a 5*. Look forward to returning.

As soon as we arrived, it was clear this was somewhere special. Having opened earlier this year, the hotel is pristine and modern but with a very comfortable and friendly feel. Enrico made us feel like long lost friends, and ensured we fully settled in our spectacular room before leaving us to the welcome fruit platter and prosecco on arrival. The room was spacious and tastefully decorated with balcony views over the hotels delightful gardens and pool. The bathroom was large, with robes, slippers and toiletries and a fantastic shower. The main bedroom has a huge bed, Nespresso coffee machine, complimentary bottles of water, replaced daily, and good wardrobe space. The underfloor heating was very welcomed on the slightly chilly evenings, but the room was warm and controlled. The room controls were operated with a wave of the hand, which was a nice touch. Breakfast was fantastic, a great variety of pastries, local produce, eggs to order, and delicious coffee, with an option to eat outside by the pool. The Lumi rooftop bar is wonderful and a great place to relax with spectacular views of the bay of Naples and Vesuvius on a clear day. Antonio and Martina were always there with a smile and keen to hear of our experiences. The hotel is located a few hundred metres from Piazza Tasso, one of the main squares, and a good reference point for exploring Sorrento. Just off the Piazza are the main shopping, restaurant and tourist areas and the narrow winding streets are delightful. Guilia, one of the concierge, is a mine of local information and gave us some great options to enjoy during our stay. The main port is only a 5-10 minutes walk away from where we got the ferry to Capri. For the time of year, Capri was almost deserted, and many of the boutique shops closed, but so much easier to walk around, have a bite to eat and the mandatory limoncello spritz! Sorrento train station is also a few minutes walk from where the express train takes around an hour to get to Pompeii, stopping a hundred metres from the entrance to the site. We had the most wonderful 5 days in Sorrento, made all the more special by the Ara Maris and is fantastic staff. We couldn't recommend this hotel highly enough.

Our stay at the hotel was beyond surpassed our expectation. The property and surrounding area was BEAUTIFUL!!!  Concierge staff was great with setting up our roundtrip transportation to/from airport, dinner reservations, and tours. All of the  other staff were just as amazing, especially the bartenders at Lumi Sky.  We spent our evenings at Lumi Sky watching the sunset drinking limoncello spritz and lemon drop martinis. The breakfast options were also great, but Lumi Sky in the evening was our favorite. I wish I could upload videos to show our room and how beautiful the garden and surrounding area is.

Ara Maris Hotel was an absolute gem! From the moment we arrived, Giulia at the concierge desk went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. Her food and activity recommendations were spot-on, and she worked magic to secure us last-minute massages—a lifesaver after a long day of travel. The hotel itself was spotless, perfectly located nearby downtown and the train station, and felt incredibly safe, which only added to the comfort of our stay. We can’t wait to return on our next trip to Sorrento. Highly recommend!

The Ara Maris was excellent! We had some traveling difficulties before arriving but the hotel staff were very accommodating and understanding, making things less stressful for us. Our suite was pristine with a beautiful view of the sea. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was modern and well stocked. Breakfast was also wonderful , with a wide variety of delicious food and coffee. We were here in the winter so we did not eat outside, but the patio looked beautiful! The spa was a lovely addition. There is no charge to just use the sauna, steam room, and plunge pool, and it was a nice way to end the day. The location is also perfect. It is set just off of the main street so it is close to everything but also very quiet. Additionally, the balcony doors were soundproof so, even if there was street noise, we couldn't hear it! I highly recommend this relatively new hotel and hope to visit again!
