Hotel Mediterraneo Sorrento

There’s a plush feel and a sparkling atmosphere at this luxury Sorrento hotel, where the views across the Gulf of Naples are maximised at every opportunity. 

A spa hidden in tuff caves in the hotel’s foundations offers relaxing rituals. But if you’d rather be out and about in the Italian sunshine, hop on the hotel’s lift, which takes you directly to the beach, where loungers are provided in the summer. Back at the top, the Aqua Pool Lounge is on hand to serve refreshments beside a gorgeous swimming pool, where you can order a light lunch –  perhaps the freshly prepared Neapolitan pizza, wood-fired in front of you. 
 
The fine-dining Vesuvio Restaurant boasts a superb al fresco terrace with sensational views across the Gulf of Naples to Mount Vesuvius. After dinner, elevate your evening at the Vista Sky Bar, a rooftop oasis offering yet more gorgeous views and best enjoyed with a glass of bubbles. There’s another bar too – the Oltremare Lounge Bar, where you can order a glass of the region’s best wines, perhaps with some evening bar bites if you indulged in a long, relaxing lunch, Italian style.
 
However your days here unfold, they finish in rooms that are contemporary and swish. Some have parquet floors and sea views, and they’re all tastefully finished in a suitably nautical palette that suits their location in sun-splashed Sorrento down to the ground.
