About the location
Holidays in Sorrento bring you the delights of small-town coastal Italy in close proximity to the bustling city of
Naples. Breathing in the lemon scented air in the cliff top surroundings of the town, you can gaze across the Bay of Naples to the city with Mount Vesuvius in the background. Couples can enjoy the small town feel of Sorrento, while getting lost in the backstreets, and trying out local specialities including pizza and limoncello in street side restaurants and cafés. Families can enjoy the beaches, ferry rides to Naples and explore the nearby Amalfi Coast. The more adventurous can hike up to the summit of Vesuvius or spend time in vibrant Naples.
Sorrento is a heady mix of tourist friendly resort and a still traditional Italian coastal town. It has all the amenities you could wish for, as well as catering for families, couples and the more adventurous. It retains its artisanal crafts, and is filled with small shops specialising in ceramics, limoncello and leather goods. The aromas of fresh pasta, pizza, lemons and tomatoes permeate the air as you stroll around the quaint streets filled with restaurants and cafés.

“ No Wedding flexibility and very much arrogance

The venue is stunning, but the knowledge and service of the wedding events team was poor and very arrogant. There was no clarity on several things vis email and no effort to explain when prompted. The email correspondence was pretty standard ( copy and paste for everybody), not 5 stars service as they claim to be.
They are not accommodating at all and not flexible on any wedding requests ( simple things ) . Also make you pay for everything, including flowers for a starting price of 200 euro per person for a very basic menu.
Also, none of the events managers speaks a fluent English which is an absolute shame. I have a feeling this is one of the place in Italian style: no competence but just work friend of friends.
I had 3 site visits and although the place is amazing, the arrogance of Miss C. made us decide to chose another location in Sorrento.

Excellent experience at Grand Hotel Cocumella where the definition of luxury is ???home away from home??? . The place has an antique and sophisticated interior design, recently renovated (I was at the room 101 amazing), botanical and vegetables garden, beautiful and cultured owners (the CEO is the young and talented Architect Luca lo Cicero) and the training of the employees is just perfect. All restaurants has perfect view and the little private beach are just unique in Sorrento or anywhere in the world. The food is biological and surely the best pizza in the world. I would recommend this place to families, couples or traveling single as I did.
I will come back soon as the veliero Vera 1880 was not available and just can't wait for that journey too. Grazie a tutti per il caloroso ed eccellente servizio.

After the frenzy of Florence this was a wonderful way to relax at the end of our trip. Outstanding customer service. Nice selections at breakfast buffet every morning. We ate dinner in hotel restaurant twice and all were very happy with choices. Rooms were beautiful and modern. Views were just beautiful. Sorrento center was a 20 minute walk. Special thanks to Gennaro at the bar!

We spent several nights at the Grand Hotel Cocumella and enjoyed it very much! Our room was very comfortable and it is a beautiful and historic building. The gardens are stunning and we also loved the pool. The hotel is located a few minutes from the center of Sorrento, and the hotel shuttle runs frequently- very convenient and we ended up being glad that we were not in the hub of very busy Sorrento! The staff is wonderful and they do everything they can to make you feel welcome and comfortable! The concierge, Giuseppe, sets the gold standard for hospitality- a truly wonderful man! Make sure you stop at the bar and have Gennaro make you an aperol spritz- his cocktails are outstanding, as is his sunshiny personality. This place was perfect for us!
