Read moreRelais le Rupe, is sublime. Imagine a truly stunning, heritage building, in the most outstanding part of town. Five minutes walk from the main square, with the serene and quiet ambience not usually possible with such a central location. This accommodation has it all. Old world charm, carefully restored to its former glory, furnished to a high standard throughout, with amazing history and all of the amenities you could possibly desire.
Whilst all of the above is especially desirable, the family that have taken such care to restore the property, offer the most warm and authentic welcome you could hope to receive, but it doesn't stop there!
Luca speaks perfect English, and delivered the most outstanding hospitality throughout. You will want for nothing, and I have high expectations! From recommending the best restaurants, to booking the most stunning tours and adventures, his passion for ensuring his guests have a truly authentic and memorable experience, is second to none.
There is no pretention. Complete humility, and a willingness to go the extra mile, for each and every request.
Handsome accommodation. Handsome, kind, and caring host - the full package. It was my first solo travel, and I was a little apprehensive. Well that soon evaporated with the Sorrento sun, and the local people in general. I couldn't have felt more safe, and well taken care of. There will be no hotel envy... of even the smartest hotels! Once you arrive at Relais le Rupe, you will have to try hard, not to smile too much, about the fact you definitely booked the right place!
The only downside to the trip, is leaving with a heavy heart, when you have to say goodbye to Luca and Relais le...
