Art Hotel Gran Paradiso

Prepare to be struck by some genuinely magnificent views at this gorgeous hotel in Sorrento, where the terrace offers panoramic vistas out over Mount Vesuvius and the Gulf of Naples. It’s a sight to behold, but the rich aesthetics aren’t confined to outside the hotel, as rooms contain works of modern art collected by the owner.

Making the most of that awe-inspiring view, the hotel has also put an impressive pool out on the terrace, meaning that you can enjoy gazing at the Sorrento coastline from the water, perhaps with a cocktail in hand from the poolside bar. You’ll doubtless be spending a lot of time outside, but indoors does have its advantages, primarily in the form of a well-equipped spa, featuring a range of massages and treatments, plus both Turkish and steam baths.
