Perched on the side of a cliff and nestled into a rockface, Grand Hotel Capodimonte fuses so seamlessly with its surroundings we wouldn’t be surprised if you missed it the first time around! Put simply, this prestigious 4-star hotel is an architectural masterpiece. Built in the traditional Mediterranean style, the modern hotel is light, airy and decorated in an elegant classic-contemporary style.
Grand Hotel Capodimonte is a great escape for couples or families with older children. There are many quiet little corners to hide away in, as well as superb open spaces both in the lounges and on the terraces. As you can expect, the hotel enjoys gorgeous views of the Bay of Naples and Vesuvius, which are perhaps some of the best in Sorrento. But it is surely the hotel’s five cascading swimming pools that is its crowning glory. The pools all face that magnificent view, so you can cool off from the summer heat while admiring the sheer beauty before your eyes.
Despite its hidden, hillside location, Grand Hotel Capodimonte is less than 15-minutes’ walk away from Sorrento centro. The town is world-famous for ceramics so be sure to stroll the pretty streets looking for bargains. Food and wine plays a huge part in the way of life here and the little town has many wonderful options suitable for every taste and budget! The port, with direct links to the Amalfi coast and Capri is only 30 minutes away by foot.
The hotel has 184 rooms (official rating 4-star). Child prices apply to ages 2-12 years. Minimum stay 3 nights.
Grand Hotel Capodimonte’s three restaurants, two bars and snack bar make staying in to eat out a treat! Expect lots of Sorrentino traditional fare here, along with a few international dishes too. Guests can enjoy indoor and outdoor seating; we particularly enjoyed eating on the wisteria covered terrace next to the pool, while the lights of Sorrento twinkled away in the background. Buon appetito!

The hotel’s five pools cascade down the hillside and look out onto Sorrento’s incredible views. Each pool has a terrace beside it, which leaves plenty of space for relaxing. Sorrento’s beaches are quite small, so if you are looking for a swim in the sea away from the crowds you’ll find plenty of pristine coves further along the coast.
The hotel's cascading pools are normally open from April to October and offer a peaceful oasis in which to relax.
