About Hotel Bristol

Recently awarded a silver Travelife award in recognition of the hotel's commitment to the environment, Hotel Bristol is set on the cliff side of one of the most enchanting corners of the coast.

Typically Italian in style, the Hotel Bristol is furnished with local hand-painted ceramics and art. Light, airy lounges compliment the fresh and bright guestrooms with picture postcard views. Citalia has selected guestrooms with spectacular sea views and balcony for its guests.

An elegant restaurant occupies the 7th floor, where you can take breakfast with incomparable views over the bay, and in the evenings enjoy the excellent international cuisine. Guests have the choice of dinner here or an al fresco lunch at the rooftop Restaurant La Pergola (May-Oct, weather permitting).

The Hotel Bristol also has 2 bars, including a lively rooftop pool bar (day time) with and the elegant Bar Marina, decorated in a colonial style with a beautiful floor made up of herringbone parquet and local Vietri tiles. Three times a week, guests can enjoy the Piano Bar (May-Oct), and a disco by the swimming pool is held once a week (weather permitting).
