It is a 15 minute, fairly level, walk from the train station to the convent and, yes, for the last 200 yards there is no pavement. Don't worry - it is nothing compared to walking around Naples itself or most of the other places where the traffic is chaotic! Just think of it as a good preparation for what is... More

Firstly... to get to this hotel, you need to get off at a train station called sant agnelo.. and mind you.. OFTEN there are no taxi.. so with all your luggage, you take a 2 km walk to this hotel. If there are taxis, they wont take you to such a close location. Secondly, its not a hotel. its clean-it-your-self... More

The Domus San Vicenzo is a convent perched atop the cliff. A similarly situated conventional hotel would cost you 5 times what the sisters charge. The only drawbacks: curfew is 11:00PM - not a big deal in a resort town. Breakfast is spare, but easy to overlook at the price. The sisters have to buzz you into the building, but... More

We travelled to Sorrento to see the Blanca and Nera Easter processions. Making the decision to stay in a convent was part of that experience. To our delight the sisters of the Domus San Vincenzo took us into their watchful care. What a wonderful time we had. And though Suor Shinty is the only sister who spoke English this did... More

We were at Domus San Vincenzo for only 3 days, and we left that place with regrets. This guest house is very clean, a little too basic, the breakfast too, but the surroundings are spectacular, it worth everything to have a vacation in this place. The way from train station is about 10 minutes, but you must know exactly the... More

If saving money is your primary objective then this may be for you but be forewarned this is bareboned minimalism.It is almost as if the nuns feel it would be sinful for you to enjoy yourself. Let me start with the positive. The views are spectacular,.The nuns are cute and try to be helpful. it is very quiet. Now the... More

This is wonderfull place located in the middle of happiness!! Come here if you want to get a peace and lightness - it works, really. I cannot say why, but it does - and also some other magical things will happen, you'll see, for sure) The only piccolo minus - you have to come back at 11PM. Well, FOR ME... More

The reviews to date are very accurate - the views are fantastic right across the Bay of Naples; even if not from the room, from the roof terrace and from the garden. The nuns were extremely helpful and pleasant. The coffee and breakfast isn't great but that's minor compared with the overall benefit of staying in a beautiful old building,... More

my daughter, 21, and son, 17, and I had a lovely stay here. We found it difficult to pull our bags on the narrow, winding road with a lot of traffic but the grounds were gorgeous, the room clean, breakfast adequate and the nuns delightful. Such a great base for visiting Pompeii, Vesuvius, Positano, and Amalfi. Plenty of good restaurants... More

Based on the reviews, I was quite looking forward to the experience of staying at a convent. When we finally arrived after walking for about 1 km from the train station in the hot sun with all our luggage, I was ready to be impressed... unfortunately after having specified a quiet room my sister and I had a room that...
