About the location
From its prime clifftop position, Sorrento has wide-angle views across the Bay of Naples to Mount Vesuvius. Palms and citrus groves cluster around grand villas and elegant hotels, and along the spaghetti-thin lanes of the old town you’ll find tiny trattorias and a generous helping of shops (bottles of limoncello, brightly painted ceramics and bespoke sandals are all must-buys). The main square, Piazza Tasso, is the place to head for a morning espresso, while the waterfront Marina Grande is the ideal spot for a dinner of freshly netted seafood. Sorrento’s location also makes it the perfect springboard for exploring more of the Neapolitan Riviera. Amalfi Coast towns like Positano and Ravello are in easy reach, as are the ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Hop on a boat, meanwhile, and you can skim over to the islands of Capri and Ischia.

We stayed in the Pavarotti Suite. The room and the view from the balcony will rank as one of the best for us. This hotel is right on the Plaza Tasso where all the tourist, like us, flock to, but once you pass through the gate of the hotel property you feel like you are out in the country. The staff all speak English and are extremely helpful. The breakfast buffet is expansive and what one would expect at a "Grand" hotel.Top it off with a Michelin rated dinning experience and this place is truly special.

I sadly couldn???t afford to stay in this splendid hotel but we did enjoy a wonderful coffee there, elegantly served - and spent a fascinating half hour finding the exact spot on the terrace where the great tenor, Enrico Caruso, was photographed only a week before he died. A memorable morning.

Agree entirely with earlier positive reviews - hotel not the cheapest around but facilities, food, staff demeanour and views all out of this world. Sorrento itself is nothing special and very busy but trips around are numerous and rewarding.
