A wonderful place to stay and you can’t get a better location to view Sorrento from your room. The staff were lovely and kind. I was told by the head sister that the hotel was the summer home of a countess of the region and later converted to a hotel. Parking is on site which is a real bonus in the Sorento area. There is no air conditioning but if you enjoy cool ocean breezes from your balcony to sleep with, this is the place.

Endroit typique, religeux et charmant coté paysage. Un panorama spectaculaire, juste pour le décor extérieur, je ne regrette pas d'y avoir été, surtout pour la terrasse au 3e étage. Il faut cependant savoir que sans air climatisé, la chambre peut être un véritable sauna.

This was one of my favorite stays! The building was beautiful and had amazing views from the roof, patio, and room balcony. They had a pretty good spread for breakfast every morning so that was a nice touch. The nuns that run the place were very nice and helpful when I needed transportation into Sorrento. It's a quick walk into the main square for Sant'Angelo where it's easier to get public transportation. Be warned that taxis are about 30 euros one way to get to and from Sorrento but sometimes worth it for the convenience. Didn't bother me because I liked being away from the business of the main city center. I would highly recommend staying here, I loved the peaceful energy of the place!

I couldn’t have felt safer as a solo female traveler than I did at Domus San Vincenzo. The building is secure, quiet, and spotless, which immediately put me at ease. One of my favorite parts was the beautiful garden with seating overlooking the port below—it was the perfect spot to relax and take in the view.

This was my very first trip to Italy, and the views from the terrace honestly took my breath away. Some may say the rooms are outdated but I found them simple and cute. The bed was a bit firm for my taste, but by the time 9 p.m. rolled around, I was so tired from exploring that I slept soundly anyway. The temperature in the room was comfortable at night, and I never had any issues with hot water.

Breakfast was a lovely spread of deli meats, cheese, fresh bread, pastries, coffee, and juice. There’s also a fridge available if you’d like to store your own food, which was really convenient. Do note there’s a curfew at 11:30 p.m.

It took me about 40 minutes to walk into Sorrento, though the bus is an easy alternative. You can grab tickets from any Tabacchi shop. There’s one about a 5 minute walk away. There’s also a grocery store about 15 minutes away. The port just below also offers ferries to Capri, which makes exploring even easier.

Overall, the location was wonderful and the atmosphere felt so peaceful. Staying here truly made my first trip to Italy unforgettable, and I’d happily go back again.

Our stay was lovely, and we booked the room with an ocean view. However, depending on the site you book this hotel you might not get all the details. They do have a curfew of 23:30 and no air conditioning. Luckily booking the ocean view we had plenty of breeze and cooler evenings (September).

Great experience, good customer service from the sisters at this monestary. Breathtaking views from our balcony. Only complaint is that taxis don’t stop in front of the property. You have to walk about 500 metres on a narrow road with little to no sidewalk. It’s a perilous journey with luggage. It’s also a little far to walk to Sorrento, especially when it’s hot. There is a train that goes to Sorrento but it’s a 20 minute walk to there. Still overall, it’s a unique experience staying in a monestary and it’s a beautiful spot away from the noise and buzz of Sorrento.

Omg the views are to die for, especially on floor 3, rooftop terrace. The room was quite big as was the bathroom. The nuns are lovely. You get breakfast included and there is a lift to every floor. Breakfast is a buffet and so much choice, as much as you want. Its a different kind of hotel maybe because its run by nuns but its so tranquil and we actually loved it. We went to the roof to have a wine and cigarette and just gaze at the view. We loved it and spent 4 nights there. Highly recommend.

On our trip to Italy we primarily came south for the coastal views. It was the more relaxing part of the trip. This provided that in abundance. Lovely views from the hotel window and terrace, small walk to the beach, boat tours available. Small walk to view a beautiful sunset.

The staff was extremely lovely, polite, and caring. Can't say enough nice things.

As vegetarians, we thought there were limited dining options. Otherwise the location was close to two subway lines to get to sorrento, Pompeii, or Naples.

Overall great stay.

We were so happy with the property and the value for money it provides. The nuns were wonderful and allowed you to stay in a clean, safe and welcoming environment.
We loved the daily breakfast of cereal, rolls, pastries, juices and coffee/ hot drinks.
The beds were really good quality, the shower had terrific pressure, and the view was fantastic.
It was a relatively easy walk from Sant’Agnello train station, and Sorrento town centre. We also had access to the bus stop for the ride to Positano. It takes 15 minutes to walk to the station with a few narrow paths in case you have a younger family.
Loved our stay and would return.

This property is located in pretty Sant Agnello, which is outside of Sorrento; it is a taxi or bus ride to Sorrento, I would not say walkable, as there are no sidewalks connecting the streets. It is a pretty small town, high up on the hill, with amazing views of the surrounding area.
We found the elevator down to the beach (couple of euros) and there are some places to eat and lounge and enjoy the sunset. The park was a pleasant surprise, just across from Domus.

The residence itself with beautiful grounds, is run by nuns, we were lucky one younger one spoke English and was helpful. The older ones are your typical nun, regimented and it is not a typical hotel exerience you will get here, more like a hostel. Breakfast was ok. only seved from 8-9 am.
The room is basic; did not have air conditioning, but did have a fan, was still warm in September. Shower was hot and good water pressure. Our view was out back to the mountains and had small balcony you could step out on.
Taxis are not allowed to come down to the Domus, you need to walk to the Church to the right when you step out. I was able to have her call me one, as my phone would not connect. I dont know if I would stay here again, for the price we paid taxi back and forth to Sorrento, I would rather have stayed in Sorrento.

Domus, a home for travelers.

Sant Agnello, where the Domus is situated is one stop away from awesome Sorrento. When you book, be sure to print yourself a map to go get to the residence, which is about a 25 minute walk from the Circumvesuviana train which takes you there from the Napoli train station. The view of Mount Vesuvius is awesome, as is the garden overlooking the cliffs of the Mediterannean, and the surrounding mountain views.

Stunning location, unique experience

An ideal base to discover the Sorrento area and Amalfi coast, this is an amazingly good value guest with the added unique experience of being run by a small group of warm and friendly nuns. A 10-min walk from either Sant'Agnello or Piano stations (recommend consulting map/street view beforehand), the hotel is a pleasant 20-30 min walk to Sorrento or one stop on the Circumvesuviana line.

There was a little confusion upon my arrival as the only English-speaking sister was not present, but I was warmly received. My single room was in the extension and overlooked the gardens with a fantastic view of Vesuvius from my window. Room and bathroom clean and well-equipped, but bed small. The gardens have table and chairs, and there is a fantastic sunroof with stunning harbour views, and sunset view of Bay of Naples and Ischia. Breakfast between 8 and 9am only - the usual very unhealthy Italian start of pastries/cakes! But there is juice, bread and cereals. There is a coffee machine.

Only issue is that it's meant to be a peaceful retreat, but I had more peace and quiet in my room in the centre of Naples. The venue is obviously used for band practice and parties, so there was loud music every evening. A child's party went on until 11pm with the kids running around the gardens. Luckily I had the wonderful roof to retreat to. Not a major issue, but not quite the advertised spiritual atmosphere I was expecting. Also, having to be out of your room at 9am doesn't help with the relaxation.

Lovely setting/scary walk to get there!

First of all, we thought the hostel was in Sorrento, not in faraway suburb, Sant'Agnello. We had to take another train to get there. Then the fun began. I knew from other reviews that there was a 15 minute walk. With luggage that is a disaster. The road in front of the convent/hostel is very, very narrow and we truly have to cling to buildings when cars came by. It was dark and very dangerous. Had to call out for pizza because we did not want to try the road again.
The hostel is very nice, run by wonderful nuns who were very kind. However, we decided to get another place in actual downtown Sorrento for the next night, paying for the second night because it was too late to cancel. If the hostel had been in Sorrento, on a road that was walkable, we would have loved to have stayed another night. If a guest has a car it is perfect, although a little out of the way. Hated to fork out more money, but it was worth it.

An amazing location and peaceful atmosphere

We had a very pleasant stay Domus San Vincenzo. The location has an amazing view from a cliff across the sea and there is a sandy beach just 10 minutes away. The nuns are very clear on what they expect from their guests, but they are all very lovely. Note: they only accept cash payments, and the cash point is in the village (about 10 minute walk away). Also, we needed to look direction on google maps to find it.

Amazing Amalfi

Once I found Domus, I was relieved...it can be difficult to find, because it is not close to the train station. I stopped by a local food store, and the owner there told me how to find it. Also, it is not presently a \"hostel\". The nun who speaks English, Sister Clara, explained that it once was a \"hostel\", and is now a \"pensione\" managed by missionary nuns. Once you check in, walk out the back door, and gaze at Mount Vesuvius, which is across the bay, and peer down into the gorgeous water more than a hundred feet below...truly majestic and breath taking....It is quiet and peaceful...and a very short train ride to beautiful Sorrento, which should not be missed...actually ANY town on the Amalfi Coast is nothing short of spectacular !!!

Absolute Bliss

This is the most beautiful place to stay. the views were absolutely spectacular as this convent is on a cliff edge easily accessible by road, every morning I could take my coffee out to one of the the terraces and enjoy the spectacular views,the convent itself is beautiful and also a great place that cater for families so you don't need to worry about being quiet, the nuns are lovely and and keep to themselves and their duties, its a short train ride (1 stop) or 25 minute walk to Sorrento and I much preferred to stay here, a 5 minute walk to Piano with lovely restaurants and views, if youre a party animal maybe Sorrento is for you as there is a 11.30 pm curfew but if you let the nuns know you will be late they are pretty good about it, great place for families as they also provide gated parking, also wifi at 2 euros for1 hour, cash only no credit card facilities which was not a problem for me, I would come back and stay here in a heart beat, there was nothing I could fault about this place or its amazing location.

El lugar es maravilloso con una vista increíble hacia el muelle y la playa,las monjas muy buenas personas, el desayuno muy básico café,jugo Te,pan dulce y salado, fruta, queso y peperoni la mesa es asignada con base a tu número de habitación, no puedes llegar después de 11:30 , porque ellas te abren incluso la llave de tu cuarto se deja en recepción, en el tercer piso hay una terraza increíble para ver el atardecer o disfrutar la noche, es la mejor opción para disfrutar de la costa tomandolo como base la terminal del tren te queda a 15- 20 minutos caminando, a sorrento llegas desde ahí en 10 minutos es la siguiente parada desde Sain Angnello, y pues desde sorrento puedes ir a positano o Amalfi en ferry $49 euros redondo, cerca del hotel en el centro, pasa también camión a Positano, Amalfi y lo mejor uno directo al aeropuerto de Nápoles, que llegas en 1 hora y media máximo dependiendo el tráfico, por solo $14 euros y puedes llevar 1 maleta Grande de 23 kgs, pero cuidado debes comprar todos con anticipación el su sitio web para asegurar tu lugar...muy recomendable y excelente precio

are you in a monastery sometime?

The explanation before book the hotel was very clear as regards is a Monastery. A great view from the cliff, a good price and some kind of mystery move me ahead. Altought the hotel was empty , the sisteres asigned us a room with view to the street and not to the sea. There were fixed hours to take a shower, not at the time you want. The wonderful view is from the terrace, not from the breakfast room (located in a basement). In summary: the nice view is if you decide be outside. The sistes are very educated and polite , but are not the same than an hotel employee. I think the place is very good for a lot for people , not for me.
