Grand Hotel Capodimonte

We just finished an eight-day stay at GHC. We were in a Premire Room. We really enjoyed ourselves and highly recommend it to others. 1. The hotel is located at the southern end of town, about one kilometer up a slightly sloping hill.?? You can be in the center square of Sorrento in 15 minutes. 2.?? The Premier Rooms and those of a higher level come with a patio, table, and chairs that overlook the five cascading pools and have a beautiful view of the city and the coast. 3. There are two main restaurants in the hotel for dinner.?? Bellevue is outside and is only available by reservation.?? It is covered by a?? pergola and has a view of the city and Gulf of Naples.?? Le Ginestre is inside and has a 180??? view through huge windows. Breakfast is held in a third space, Le Querce.?? It is a covered patio, open in front with a gorgeous view of the town and water. Lunch at GHC can be found on a terrace?? overlooking the pools in the Grill Restaurant Bougainvillea.?? It is directly next to the Apertif Bar L'Agrumento. We enjoyed the breakfasts (open from 7-10 a.m.) each day.?? There are a number of different buffet stations available to get a continental breakfast.?? There is also an omelet and egg station with meat, potatoes, tomatoes, and beans.?? Bread table in the middle, with a toaster available along the side.?? Waiters will get you hot beverages. We did try lunch one day on the terrace.?? It was not very good. They messed up pizza (in Italy) and a vegetable/mussle soup. We just wanted to stay in one day while at the pool.?? Maybe other items are better. The service was excellent. We had dinner at Le Ginestre the first night when we arrived late.?? The menu was limited, but we tried a Gamberetti and a Ravioli for Primi and the Spigola alla Erbe Di Campo (sea bass) for Secondi.?? They were cooked perfectly. Service is excellent. 4. There are a lot of spaces to relax around the hotel.?? On the main level, there is a huge lounge off of the lobby.?? The Olive Trees Bar is inside the room and opens as the terrace bar is closing down, around 17:00.?? We loved this space and relaxed here in between our trips to town and other places, as well as for a Limoncello at the end of the night.?? We did round two of Limoncello on our bedroom terrace. Apparently, we have a Limoncello problem. There is a smaller TV lounge off the other side of the lobby, with a small station to access the internet and a laser printer. A few steps down from the lobby below the TV lounge is the entrance to an enormous , multi-level deck with couches, chairs, tables, and umbrellas.?? There are places to be social or nooks and crannies for more privacy.?? The deck also has more gorgeous views of the city and water. If you're sensing every place at GHC has a great view, you would be right.?? Only a few rooms on lower levels do not have views). 5. The Pools.?? There are five of them, as advertised.?? They are beautiful and there are chairs everywhere to get your tan on.?? Bar service is available and very efficient.?? The water is NOT heated. We were here in early May, and it was cold. Better in the afternoon, but not much (of course, we are from Texas USA, so we are spoiled with hotter water in the Gulf of whatever it is being called these days).?? 6.?? Parking is available on site just across the street.?? We did not have a car.?? The hotel is in excellent condition all around.?? It is well-appointed in every space, and it seems as if they are constantly cleaning.?? Very helpful front desk staff.?? They can arrange anything for you.?? We can't wait for our next trip to Sorrento. It is a fun town to visit and is also convenient as a jumping off spot for Amalfi Coast destinations.

This hotel is located just outside of the main part of Sorrento. It is about a 200 metre walk to get to where the town starts. So, actually quite a good location because it provides the views along with a nice walk to build the appetite and then to walk off the meal. It is a beautiful layout and has various areas that you can enjoy a drink either indoor or outdoor. The grounds are also beautiful including the many layered pool with landscaping all around. We had an issue with our room but it was resolved satisfactorily by Emanuela and Salvatore. Thank you. At this time of the year, the AC is not available so they provided a fan we could use in the room. The bathroom had good amenities. The bed was very good. Our only complaint is they did not provide water which I think is essential for a hotel to do. The breakfast area is beautiful but the selection is not that big. Service is very good. Probably could have reviewed it as 4.5 stars but the lack of water and small breakfast selection brought it down a bit. I can see myself back at this place. If you have mobility issues it may be a problem because of the location and the various levels.

We Stayed at the Grand Hotel Capodimonte for 3 nights from the 30th April with our friends and from the moment we was dropped off we knew we would love it and we was so not disappointed! We only had a basic room but it was lovely c/w a completely bottle of fizz as it was my wife???s 60th birthday which was a nice touch! Breakfast was lovely with plenty choice and the staff were smart polite and very organised! The Italian way it seems. Special mention to the front desk for sorting out a last minute taxi when ours failed to turn up.The hotel is beautiful and very grand with plenty of space. Last but not least the sea views from the terrace.. just wow! Will definitely be back and hopefully next time a sea view room..
