Scene
Tiny, modern property with mostly white decor and relaxed atmosphere
Occupying a small building in central Sorrento, Magi House Relais is a charming property with just 10 rooms. A full renovation was completed in 2017, giving the space a fresh, modern feel with lots of white furnishings, potted plants, and classical artwork. There's no elevator here, so guests will have to use the marble staircase, leading to hallways with beautiful original blue patterned tiling. Rooms follow a similar design. Common areas are limited to a rooftop terrace with shaded seating, and an indoor tea and reading room. Overall, this is a lovely property for guests wanting easy access to all that Sorrento has to offer, but the lack of features may be a downside for some. For those people, the Hotel Continental has a large outdoor pool, Italian restaurant, and a rooftop terrace.
