Grand Hotel Flora

in Sorrento , Neapolitan Riviera T rating: 4

 
  • Central location
  • Large pool
  • Great dining
Right in the centre of Sorrento, the Grand Hotel Flora offers up sea views and great dining.
In the heart of Sorrento, this laid-back hotel is an ideal base for exploring the town. It’s just a five-minute walk from shops, restaurants and bars. Plus all the main sights like Piazza Tasso and the Chiesa di San Francesco are on the doorstep.

The hotel itself is renowned for its fantastic views of the Bay of Naples. The best place to see them is from the elegant fifth-floor restaurant. Time your evening meal for sunset, and they’re all the more spectacular.

Talking of which, the restaurant offers a three-course waiter service menu in the evenings, and you can try something different every night. As for breakfast, it’s your typical Continental affair, with plenty of fresh bread, ham and cheese on offer.

Elsewhere, the bedrooms are light and airy. Cue comfy beds, satellite TVs and air-conditioning in the summer. Most rooms have balconies, too, and some even look out towards the sea.

Finally, when you’re not out and about, the hotel’s swimming pool is a great spot to unwind. There’s also a poolside bar, serving up snacks like pizza and pasta.

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.

Hotel in good location although about 10 minutes walk from the centre. Good choice of food available and the waiters were very friendly. The reception staff were efficient but not overly friendly. Accommodation was fine, although probably a bit noisy... more on this review
