With its sweeping views and classic Italian interiors, the Grand Hotel Ambasciatori offers up a taste of la dolce vita.
The Grand Hotel Ambasciatori is set on the edge of a cliff that nosedives into the Mediterranean Sea, which means you can look forward to sweeping panoramas of the Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius. The property is also well-placed for exploring Sorrento – it’s just a ten-minute walk into the heart of town from here.

The hotel was built back in the Fifties, so it’s got a vintage Italian feel. The lobby, for example, is styled with polished marble floors, grand chandeliers and antiques. And, over in Le Muse restaurant, pristine white table linen sits alongside gold gilt-framed mirrors. The restaurant’s al fresco terrace is also the best place in town for a sunset meal.

Outside, leafy gardens give way to a good-sized swimming pool. There’s a bar out here, too, that doubles as a barbecue grill come lunchtime. And, in the summer months, there’s an elevator that’ll whisk you down to a private bathing platform.

Your guide to Sorrento, Neapolitan Riviera

“With buzzing Vespas winding through narrow backstreets and red chillies hanging from shop doorways, Sorrento offers up an authentic slice of Italy.”

One of the first things you’ll notice about Sorrento is its location. Sitting on a cliff that drops sheer into the sea, the town overlooks the Bay of Naples and has a view of Mount Vesuvius to boot. The dramatic coastline gives way to sunbathing platforms and the occasional small pebbly beach where you can soak up the sun. Sorrento life revolves around Piazza Tasso, where tables and chairs spill out of coffee shops onto the cobbles. Here, take your seat to watch the street theatre that is Neapolitan life unfold. By day, nonnas sit crocheting while old men put the world to rights in a flurry of animated hand gestures. By night, the square comes to life with trendy twenty-somethings en route to the late night bars. Away from this lively meeting place, hop on a tour bus to nearby Pompeii or take a stroll down to Marina Piccola and set sail for chic Capri. Closer to home, saunter along the exclusive Corso Italia in search for that all-important pair of designer shoes. And don’t miss the old town where you’ll find a rabbit’s warren of alleyways laced with old-world antique shops and trattorias serving regional specialities. Talking of food, eating out in Sorrento is a delight. From pizzas cooked in wood-fire ovens to heaped platters of seafood linguine along the harbourfront, there’s plenty to tempt you out for an al fresco meal under the stars.
