Hillside location facing out over the Bay of Naples
- A stone’s throw from the beating heart of Sorrento
- Take a dip in the cascading swimming pool
- Dine with beautiful views on the hotel terrace
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.
Facilities
Bars & Restaurants
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!

About the location
Home to pedestrian streets lined with family-run gelaterias, souvenir shops selling wonderful ceramics and wonderful trattorias, Sorrento is a charming destination for all. After filling your Instagram feed with perfect pictures of Sorrento old town and pretty pastel houses tumbling into the sea, why not drink in a bit of culture? In just a short walk you’ll be at all the town’s sights, including the Museo Correale di Terranova, Sorrento’s art museum where you can see grand works from the 15-19th centuries.
Sorrento is built onto the side of a rocky mountain, which is covered in vines and olive and lemon groves. But if you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the town - it can get very busy during July and August - why not head up into the hills? Believe us, it’s worth the effort as spectacular views are guaranteed! For travellers who want to enjoy more urban charms, Naples and Pompeii are both about an hour’s drive or train ride away.
Sorrento excels in the Italian art of people watching, and time spent settled into a comfy chair, gazing at both the view and the passers by is time well spent. Order yourself a limoncello, grab yourself a prime spot on the Piazza Tasso and simply watch the world go by.

This hotel is well placed for Sorrento. Easy access to the town and has probably the best swimming pool set up I have seen in a hotel complex. The hotel is built I to the rock and has many stairs and lifts but works well.
The restaurant food is typical of a hotel like this and the piano player at the bar late at night is perfect.

Had a fabulous week at this excellent hotel. The staff are super friendly and helpful and it is in a great location with just a 10 minute walk into Sorrento town. The views of Mount Vesuvius & the Bay of Naples are breathtaking. You couldn’t ask for a better view when sitting in the restaurant for breakfast or dinner. The food at the two restaurants is top notch with a good choice of breakfast buffet and excellent a la carte choices. The restaurant by the swimming pool is very romantic in the evening with spectacular views of Sorrento and the bay at night. The food was so good we rarely ate out in town although there are lots of restaurants there. The cascading swimming pools set this hotel apart & they do not disappoint with the pool restaurant open for drinks/snacks/lunch during the day. The hotel is clean, comfortable and stylishly decorated with a super main terrace with fabulous views across the bay. My partner commented that this is the first time he has stayed in an hotel where the photographs on the website do not do it justice. We enjoyed our stay so much we wished we had booked longer than 7 nights and will definitely return.

Capodimonte offers a grand and memorable experience with a few minor drawbacks. The service at reception is excellent, making for a warm and welcoming start to your stay. The hotel's cleanliness is impeccable, contributing to an overall sense of luxury. The pools are stunning, and the views of the Naples coastline are simply breathtaking, providing a perfect backdrop for relaxation.
Dining at Capodimonte is a highlight, with both of the on-site restaurants offering amazing dinner options that are sure to impress. Breakfast is good, though the busy atmosphere can make it feel a bit like a canteen at times. The service around the pool is generally good, though it can be a little challenging to get the staff's attention, sometimes requiring a walk to the bar.
The hotel has a noticeable number of American guests, some of whom were quite loud. It would be beneficial for the hotel to manage this better to maintain the serene atmosphere.
It would also be beneficial for the hotel to manage the bed situation around the swimming pool - a lot of people reserving beds early in the morning.
Parking is good - feel charge to park is premium perhaps not so good.
Gym is really new and well equipped.
Great amount of lifts to access everywhere.
Overall, Capodimonte is a solid choice for a luxurious stay. However, it's worth noting that some rooms, like 402, might not meet expectations, as it lacks natural light and a view, feeling more cave-like. It’s not an ideal choice for an extended stay, but for a couple of nights, it’s manageable.

Returning to the GHC for the 10th time (regrettably the Covid years stopped our unbroken run)
We think the above says it all.
It is difficult to single out any particular aspect of this oasis of perfection, for indeed the GHC is much greater than the sum of its parts.
For example the staff are without exception kind, friendly and genuinely helpful, there are amazing meals to be taken in the restaurant, with its breathtaking views over the bay of Naples. And the list goes on…….
We would recommend this hotel in a heartbeat, indeed we have already booked for 2025, and for longer to try and make up that missing time.
This is 5 star and then some !

This hotel is an old hotel with every amenity known to man! From the front desk to bell man - A+. The cleanliness and decor of the room was above expectations. The view was second to none, and the swimming pools an service were gorgeous. For the price paid - this experience was a steal!
The food, the location, the ambiance was a true win!
