Grand Hotel Flora, Sorrento Italy
★ ★ ★ ★
A large, spacious, well-presented property which is not exactly oozing with style or quality and a touch dated in places. Pool is larger than average with plenty of sunbathing space. It has a top-floor restaurant and two bars, one poolside. Located on a very busy main through road, it is a trek to the historic town centre, with access to the seafront somewhat longer. Nothing onsite to occupy children.
