Historic and utterly beautiful, with its clifftop position, extensive well-manicured gardens and grounds, and lavish public and private spaces. One of the world’s best.

As the name states, this is another fabulous property, built on top of a Roman villa and frequented by the great and regal. Guests have included Romantic poets Shelley and Byron and the German writer Goethe. A pool, gardens, and striking panoramas render it as unforgettable today as it was in Grand Tour times.

Built on the ruins of a 2nd-century BC Roman villa, this beautiful establishment carries the Roman theme forward with Pompeian decor in some rooms and even a Jacuzzi that has been made to resemble a Roman bath.

With its clifftop setting and elegant interiors, this is an amazing find; fills up very fast, so book in advance. Guests enjoy a pleasant private beach and a good restaurant in a wonderful glass-walled setting with panoramas of the bay.

Quaint and a real bargain along this pricey coast. You get the views, the elevator to the beach, and some great cooking all at pensione prices. Each room has a hair dryer, there are nonsmoking rooms upon request, free parking and good deals on half- or full-board plans.

Small, simply furnished, and centrally located, this modest hotel is just a few blocks from the main square of Sorrento.

Situated right on the seaside, in one of the most beautiful locations along the Sorrentine Coast, this lovely resort is hewn out of the living rock. There are only 18 guestrooms, each with a sea-view, and guests have access to sulphur baths, a private beach and a good restaurant.

This grand country villa has an array of elegant touches, from terracotta vases adorning the gate, to the busts of Roman emperors, gardens, fountains and pool. Rooms are spacious and the dining is superb.

This small restaurant-hotel, perched on a rocky spur, enjoys wonderful views and is surrounded by olive groves.

A simple yet well laid-out hotel with a lovely pool and views.
