The staff were absolutely wonderful! So very friendly!! Also had the best shower we had in 3 1/2 weeks of traveling! We would definitely recommend this hotel! We were on the 4th floor and had a huge terrace with an amazing view! They also had an elevator which was also the first we had in Italy!

This hotel has the most beautiful view imaginable. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was delicious. The beds are not the most comfortable things we've ever slept on, but all of the other advantages by far outweighed this issue. We would definitely stay there again.

The hotel is gorgeous and the staff were amazing. There is free shuttle service to the train station, downtown, and marina. The breakfast is out of this world with freshly pulled espressos or any coffees you want, there are chef created pastries and tarts as well as traditional breakfast foods. I highly recommend the location. The scenery is beautiful and the town is not too crowded. Once again the staff are amazing at reception, cleaners, and everyone in the restaurant. AA

Beautiful hotel with lovely, friendly and extremely helpful members of staff. View from the hotel was amazing! Our room was modern and clean and the breakfast was fantastic. Lovely garden area and pool which was good for relaxing days, in between sightseeing. Only slight issue was hotel is about 20mins to walk to nearest train station, Seiano and is on a very busy road which doesn’t have a pavement in some parts so feels a bit dangerous. There was a free shuttle bus to Vico Equense station but not as frequent as we would have liked so we resorted to walking every day. Taxis are about 25 euros from Vico station so we only did this once.

This hotel is AMAZING! The staff was very welcoming. Parking was easy. Breakfast is big and has many options. The rooms were beautiful but the beds are typical European firm beds. The pool was a little too cold but it was a beautiful area. The bartenders and restaurant staff were friendly and kind. Thank you Maria for being so friendly.

Pros: - Felt looked after by the restaurant manager at breakfast and dinner. Complimentary breakfast buffet did the job. - Air conditioning was great, room was kept cool during the hot summer temperatures. - The nearby town of Vico Equense was lovely and a great place to stop off before getting the train into Sorrento / Pompeii. - Amazing views over towards Mount Vesuvius - both from the room and the restaurant area. Cons: - The Wi-fi in our room (202) was dreadful. It kept dropping in and out and rarely got above two bars of signal. I found myself having to sit in the reception to download shows if we wanted to watch something in bed or on the bus/train/ferry. - Some of the bed sheets were marked and the bathroom fixtures were a little moldy. - The pool isn't much of a pool per say, merely a box of water to stand in which quickly collects drowned insects. - There is a free shuttle bus available (which would normally be a pro), however it does not look like the vehicle shown on the hotel's website and the driver does not announce he has arrived to those waiting at the pickup points. We later found out that it serves multiple hotels in the area. It came and went the first time we wanted to catch it, leaving us to use a much longer and less comfortable local bus back to the hotel.

5-star plus experience! We arrived about an hour late, due to construction near the Naples airport. The hotel's restaurant had just closed, but without us asking, they said they would seat us and put a meal together for us, and it was delicious! On that note, we ended up eating at the hotel restaurant three of the four nights because it was so good, we each got something different every night, and every night it was amazing. The hotel staff was just as impressive, they helped us coordinate transit wherever we needed to go, as well as a boat trip down the coast, tour of Pompeii, and more. Lastly, the room was clean and spacious, with the views over the sea. Thumbs up all around, I'd stay here again and confidently recommend it to anyone

Loved this gem and the staff
Very special little place with excellent service (rooms and bar/food). Our private terrace looking out at Vesuvius was a highlight of our trip. The pool is lovely and perfect to relax between tours. All of the staff were kind and attentive. They greeted us by our names when they saw us at the pool and dining. Only regret is not staying longer!!

Wonderful views from restaurant, not great service
Stay was horrible, personnel ( ladies at the front desk) were rude and condescending.F desk ladies called our room to ask why I had left negative comments on the Hotel.com app after check in.Shuttle is either late or way too early, even when we called to schedule it 30 min before each time. Check-in was supposed to be at 2pm but lady at front desk argued that I was wrong. After waiting until 2:30 beds were not made, as I had requested 2 separate beds for me and my friend ahead of my stay. Internet is a hit or miss on the 1st floor rooms, of course rooms on the 1st floor do not have a view. I left 2 days ahead of my booking and didn’t even ask for a refund, I just wanted to leave. Did not feel welcomed or safe at the hotel, specially after the front desk called my room or every time I walked around they pointed at me ( I fully understand Italian). When talked to the front desk to express my concerns the lady said it was probably me because the other guests/reviews were happy/positive.Female server at the breakfast area yelled at me asking for my room #, but my friend and other guests were never asked for their room number. No one apologized or asked why we left ahead of time( 2 full nights). I have to recognize that I forgot a poster at the hotel and they were kind enough to mail it to the US, also offered a free taxi ride when the hotel shuttle did not show up and I needed to get to the train station for a tour.Those were nice gestures, still they kept 2 full nights.

Torre Barbara is a Hidden Gem for sure! The views are just amazing, and they have a nice pool and friendly staff. We only stayed one night on our way back to Naples but would definitely stay again. The only thing was that our AC was not cooling as well because it was just so hot outside. Overall we had a great stay!

There are no words to express the beauty of the place, location decoration, space, and comfortable beds and pillows. The views are breathtaking. It’s an undercover place. What made the best experience was the attention of the people in the hotel, EVERYONE was just dedicated to give the best service to us. We are a family of 4 and it was just amazing. My only complaint is that I didn’t stay longer. I traveled for 10 days in Italy and it’s the best place I stayed. Forget the busy Almaffi or Positano, there is no comparison with this hotel.

It exceeded my expectations, the property is quaint with personality and amazing staff! The view was spectacular, only 18 mins to Pompeii and an hour from Amalfi coast. The Manager was super friendly, offered above and beyond service, including having the chef make our teenage son Caccio Pepe (spaghetti with cheese and pepper) on our last night - double portion to boot!
