“This elegant clifftop retreat comes with attentive service and amazing views.”
It’s as if this hotel has a private box to take in Sorrento’s views. From its clifftop position, it looks right out over the Bay of Naples, with Vesuvius on the horizon. And when you look down, you’ll see the Marina Piccolo - the departure point for the tour boats that sail along the Riviera. On the subject of sightseeing, you’re also pretty close to Sorrento’s old centre. Its main piazza and the train station are just a five-minute walk from the door.
Looks-wise, the hotel is coolly classical. Fine antiques, oil paintings and period furnishings dominate in the foyer, with the rooms continuing in the same elegant vein. Expect Louis XV-style chairs, inlaid furniture and marbled bathrooms. And the colour palette is all soft aquas or rich yellows. Most come with balconies overlooking the gardens or sea, plus satellite TVs and air-conditioning.
Outside, you’ve got an oval pool surrounded by palms, orange trees and terraces peppered with canopied sunloungers. Alongside, there’s an al fresco restaurant serving authentic Neapolitan pizzas and ice- creams with a side order of sea views. A lift also runs down to the beach, where you’ll find sunbathing decks and steps down into the water.
There’s the cuisine to consider as well. Cue buffet breakfasts with generous hot and cold selections. Dinner is served in the same restaurant. The bow-tied waiters here synchronise the lifting of your silver service cover in time with your fellow diners. Nearby, meanwhile, there’s the Caprice - a balustraded drinks terrace where a pianist plays on high summer evenings.

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.
