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.

We have visited The Grand Hotel Rivi??ra at least 4 or even 5 times in the passing years already??? always a great joy and something to look out for??? also this year coming August we will enjoy the beautifull setting of the hotel with its stunning views and impeccable service from the staff???half board dinner is average,though tasty,no French or Italian haut cuisine but we always found something in the menu we liked, so absolutely no complaints there???. Plenty of nooks to relax and read the provided morning paper or a book in the beautifully decorated salon???an ideal retreat after a few horrific years of Covid-19 confinement ?????? we will keep on returning ??? let there be no doubt about it???.

Great building with marvelleous breathtaking views WOW WOW WOW
Room was enough to sleep and relax with patio and spotless open space. Food and bar in Italian classical mood. Brilliant staff polite & kind. The hotel manager Armando made our stay , he handled our Reservation in a perfect savoir faire and top service fixing all incoveniences;
He is the Leonardo Di Caprio doppelganger at the Titanic period :-)
Hope to come back to Riviera Grand Hotel maybe on September or Spring 2022 :-)

Fantastic hotel with beautiful interior design, excellent staff and food. Breakfast on the terrace was fantastic and half board dinner was served indoors, but with a beautiful view. Pool was nice with bubble section but would have preferred jacuzzi. There were 3 weddings on during our stay which added to the wonderful ambience with live music. Views are breathtaking and location is 10 minutes walk to main square with no hills. Lift down to beach area we didn't use but looked lovely.

During these difficult times we were delighted to get any holiday, especially in our favourite destination, Sorrento is magical.
The hotel was suffering like everywhere else, probably at around 50% capacity, not good for business but delightful when you have the poolside virtually to yourself. We had chosen half-board and enjoyed excellent service as the restaurant operated well below capacity. Wearing a mask when moving around isn???t ideal but was a small price to pay yo enjoy this lovely venue.
