Boutique Hotel Ristorante Don Alfonso 1890

The Don Alfonso is one of the most incredible properties I have stayed at. We felt like part of the family the entire time and the customer service is the best I have ever experienced. The food is incredible, the staff is amazing and the location is perfect. The “breakfast” that comes with your room is a 5 star full spread of pastries, breads, and whatever you want to order. My wife and I stayed to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary and will come back as soon as we can. Thank you to the entire family and staff for sharing your paradise with us, we loved every second.

From top to bottom , this hotel and restaurant scores 100 on my list. A total pleasure…. They make you feel at home, and yet pampered enormously. A wonderful experience.

Il posto del cuore. Location rilassante in giardini fioriti, comfort assoluto, cura dei dettagli commovente, cucina di altissimo livello ("pluristellata"), eppure ti senti a casa (anzi molto meglio!) grazie all'empatia totale della famiglia proprietaria, per la quale non sei mai un "numero". What else?

This hotel exceeded all of our expectations! We wish we had booked it for more nights. Unfortunately, they had no openings. Can’t say enough about the service and the gorgeous property. The breakfast was one of the best we’ve had in any hotel.

Unbelievable service at all times. The exceptionally high level of service is not quite for me personally, but a great experience overall.

Siamo arrivati da Don Alfonso alla fine di un tour di una settimana in costiera abbinando la bellezza dei luoghi a una offerta gastronomica di livello. Ovviamente il motivo principale per cui si soggiorna in questo hotel è per abbinarlo alla cena nell'omonimo ristorante, un'istituzione nel gotha della ristorazione italiana (attualmente 2 stelle Michelin ma in passato ne ha avute anche 3) ma devo dire che è stata una piacevolissima sorpresa, sia per il gusto con cui sono arredate le camere che per la gentilezza sia del personale che di tutti i membri famiglia Iaccarino che, ognuno con il suo ruolo, fanno in modo che durante un soggiorno in questa struttura ci si senta "a casa". La colazione non è niente di meno di quanto ci si possa aspettare da una cucina di questo livello (non credo di aver assaggiato mai delle ciambelle buone come da Don Alfonso). Ci ritorneremo senz'altro.

Esperienza fantastica. Struttura elegante. Camere spaziose e raffinate. Colazione di altissimo livello. Professionalità altissima, accompagnata da un’ospitalità impeccabile. Indimenticabile esperienza presso il ristorante stellato Don Alfonso, in cui abbiamo cenato.

very nice hotel. Not cheap but quality has its price. We also had dinner in the restaurant. It was expensive in comparison with other "gourmet" restaurant. If you have the possibility ask to visit the wine cellar.

Nowhere better to stay in town; elegant rooms. Very convenient for the ** restaurant, too!

The welcoming hospitality and true passion of the owners - incredible and inspirational.

We received a warm welcome at this family owned hotel and restaurant. They did everything to make our stay very special in arranging for transportation to Sorrento and a visit to Positano. The breakfast is amazing and the cooking class was fun. Make sure you dine in their restaurant and ask to see the amazing wine cellar.

This family owned boutique hotel which is part of the Relais et Chateaux group is a MUST! The complex is a quad surrounded by 'typical' Italian Villas, anchored by their Michelin rated restaurant (had 3 stars in the 2000s, now has 2 stars) which had an amazing price/experience value and was nearly full every night. In the large courtyard annexed by the various villas there is a small-ish pool (which has a couple of spa-like water jets on each side) with a relaxing deck. Proprietor Mario and family/team make a point to see each of their guest every day to say hello and make sure their stay is going well (their motto actually is: "guest services as a vocation" and it shows!). Since the property only has a few rooms, it never felt crowded (we spent 4 days there and only saw ~5 other couples) and the rooms themselves are very well insulated with good central air. After 11 days in Italy and having stayed at 4 different hotel - this was by far the best price/quality/value and really the only place where they seemed to really care about their craft! Not to be missed: -> they have their own farm 5km from the hotel where they grow fruits/vegetable for the restaurants (guests are welcomed to visit, sadly we were not able to make it) AND have an amazing basement crypt/wine cellar. Tip 1: They make an amazing lemon liquor in house that is not to be missed Tip 2: Breakfast IS A MUST / an experience on its own - plan to spend at least 45 mins - 1 hour to enjoy in the courtyard.

An outstanding boutique hotel and restaurant. It would have been nice to have a room with a view but the room itself was beautiful. The "backyard" of the hotel was a gorgeous area for breakfast, swimming or sunning and simple relaxing.

部屋は大きくカラフルで、大変満足しました。夕食は少し高いですが大変美味しかったです。美食家の人には大変お勧めです。

We checked into the hotel, it only has 8 rooms, ours was gorgeous, large with a fabulous bathroom, loads of soft towels, the bed was amazing - a beautiful terrace with views of Mount Vesuvius- our friends were given the cottage which was a divine house, bathroom and lounge downstairs with the bedroom upstairs and a gorgeous garden. Pool area small but sufficient as we had driven from the south and just wanted to chill for the afternoon. Dinner was an experience in itself, it’s all organic and mostly home grown, there were about 25 chefs all working extremely hard to produce a culinary experience which you won’t forget. Obviously, it’s pricey but you get what you pay for and it’s a fabulous experience not to be missed. Service is superb even breakfast was delicious and we would definitely go back one day and they are very proud of what their family has produced.

Fantastisk sted med veldig hyggelig vertskap, store rom med deilige senger stille, nydelig mat i restauranten fantastisk service du blir tatt godt vare på som gjest. Skal du slappe av og bli oppvartet er dette stedet.

レンタカーでのアクセスに苦労しましたが、のんびり滞在できる方には絶好のホテルです。

Reviewing this hotel, and its 2 Michelin starred restaurant, seems the inadequate thing to do. Words cannot describe our experience at Don Alfonso 1890. The reception and service is second-to-none. The room was huge and gorgeous. The grounds were lovely. But best of all is the attention and care received from the sibling owners of this wonderful establishment, Livia, Mario and Ernesto. No stone was left unturned to assure our wonderful stay. And, of course, you cannot stay there without eating in the wonderful restaurant. Again, praise seems inadequate, but having eaten in many Michelin starred restaurants in Europe, this is on a whole different level. I booked this hotel thinking it was rather expensive, and left feeling like I hadn't paid enough!

This wonderful restaurant/rooms is located in the hills above Sorrento. I am now a regular visitor having been back 4 times. Service is exceptional and the pool and rooms magnificent. The village is far from the mass tourist crowd of Sorrento. Great walk up to the nearby Monastery too. Food in the restaurant is truly wonderful and creative. Well worth the money. I love this place.

Wow. This is something. We was here for two days during our 25 year wedding anniversary. We had booked a junior suite, but was upgraded. The suite was really nice with a huge terrace. The breakfast very good with excellent service and choices. It`s sorrounding is a sleepy small town, but the experience is about the hotel and the restaurant. However, don`t miss the opportunity to take the walk to Don Alfonsos farm, and the sorrounding, Punta della Campanella. Its beautiful and with a spectacular view to Capri island. The restaurant experience was amazing. It has to be experienced! And thanks to the family that owns and are running this place. They are all very dedicated and know what they`re doing.
