Grand Hotel Capodimonte

Grand Hotel Capodimonte is a elegant and traditional hotel in the popular town of Sorrento, on the south west coast of Italy. Built into the side of cliffs, the hotel has panoramic views over Sorrento and out into the Bay of Naples. The town's main square, Piazza Tasso, is a short stroll from the hotel, and here you'll find a number of bars and nightclubs on cobbled streets and a bustling nightlife scene. The beaches on the Sorrento Peninsula are formed of shingle and rock and the closest one is a short walk from the hotel. Grand Hotel Capodimonte is built into a cliff side, with the reception being reached by a lift. It features a series of interconnecting pathways and tiered balconies, landscaped gardens, swimming pools and sun terraces. Renovated in 2015, the hotel's interior is traditional, with light walls offset by a subtle colour scheme. The hotel has five cascading outdoor pools. There are two bars that serve local and international drinks throughout the day, as well as a buffet restaurant and an a la carte restaurant. If you have a car, you can travel along the Amalfi Coast and explore the UNESCO-listed area with its winding roads, steep cliffs and sea views. If you fancy a day trip you can visit Pompeii or the city of Naples, at the base of Mount Vesuvius.

Grand Hotel Capodimonte is a 400m stroll from the start of Corso Italia, Sorrento's main shopping street, and 600m from the beach. In Sorrento you can dine at a seaside restaurant, explore the garden-filled depths of the Vallone dei Mulini in the heart of the town, or wander through the cloisters of the Church of San Francesco. You can take a day trip to the island of Capri, where you can walk through the cobbled streets lined with designer boutiques, or enjoy a spot of people watching in the main square. Or you could visit the ancient site of Pompeii and view the famous ruins caused by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

Grand Hotel Capodimonte's buffet restaurant offers a hot and cold breakfast, as well as lunch and dinner. You can also treat yourself in the a la carte restaurant for dinner. During the day you can get drinks and snacks from the snack bar, while at night you can visit the lobby bar, which stays open until late.

The quaint fishing village area of Marina Grand is within walking distance of the hotel and home to a pretty harbour area where you can admire the boats and enjoy a meal or drink during the day or in the evening time.

All rooms at the hotel are traditional in style and come with a balcony or terrace, Wi-Fi, flatscreen satellite TV and air conditioning (mid-May-mid-Oct).
