The region of Campania curves around the bays of Naples and Sorrento, with towering Vesuvius and mountain ranges and massifs looming above. Ancient classical ruins are scattered throughout the region, from the ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum to the Greek temples in Paestum. Popular resort towns include charming Sorrento and Amalfi, upscale Positano and haven for the elite, Ravello. For even more memorable sights, catch a ferry from Sorrento or Naples to the isle of Capri, home of the magical Blue Grotto.

The NH Collection Grand Hotel Convento di Amalfi has been and continues to be one of the most significant monuments of the entire Amalfi Coast.
Amazing hotel right in Amalfi with incredible views in every direction. We booked this hotel and we couldn't have been happier. The hotel staff is so friendly no matter who you encounter, they're very helpful and run an extremely professional hotel. The breakfast area is pleasantly located on the outside balcony and overlooks the ocean, the port, etc. Incredible views and great size too - lots of tables so you never felt cramped. Our room was amazing, extremely clean and neat, with perfect views - we felt like true VIP the entire time. There is an employee named Vinchenzo who was the absolute best. Always positive, smiling, laughing and makes incredible espresso martini! He was the star of the week and we highly recommend you find & interact with him!

An elegant and essential accommodation, refined and with all the comfort and welcoming of an exclusive retreat. Villa Oriana Relais is located in Sorrento, only 5 minutes by car from Tasso Square, the main square of the town and has a breathtaking view of the bay of Naples. The d'Esposito family, has managed this wonderful Relais with passion for years, welcomes the guests like friends.
This hotel should be 5 star - from the moment we walked in to the moment we left we felt special. We were greeted with fresh cakes (which the owner Maria and her sister make at 4am every morning) and fresh lemonade from the orchard. Our room was bright, clean, and had a stocked fridge, we felt at home away from home. In the mornings, we would be served fresh orange juice along with the cakes I mentioned earlier. Everything was so fresh and tasty and it felt like Mum's cooking (but better)! The terrace on the top had a beautiful view along with a jacuzzi. The villa was perfectly private, intimate and a lovely distance away from Sorrento - we didn't want to be right in the centre as we like things quiet. Next time I come back to Sorrento I'll be staying here. The staff were fantastic, friendly, helpful and nothing was too much to ask, and they were willing to help with absolutely anything you needed. This hotel made our trip. Thank you to all the staff!

Photos didn’t do Villa Piedimonte justice. We stayed in the Junior Suite and the room was beautiful and spacious, with a huge bathroom - massive bath and walk in shower. Our balcony had a stunning Amalfi sea view as did the pool area. Hotel staff were very friendly and so helpful and the secure car park is free - which is a bonus! The hotel is super close to Ravello Town centre, we took the free shuttle offered by the hotel there and walked back - just 10 minutes. We loved our stay in the Ravello Hills, a delightful escape.

We stayed here in April 2022 and it’s absolutely a breathtaking place to stay! Fell in love with this beautiful hotel in the heart of Sorrento overlooking the Gulf of Naples and Mount Vesuvius. This is where your base should be if you want to visit Amalfi Coast, Positano, Naples and other places around. We’ll definitely come back here. Additionally, if you are in search of transportation services, we have encountered a great professional driver name Umberto Izzo with a business company under the name of Italy Driver. He does private tours and transfers around Pompeii, Sorrento, Amalfi, Positano, the Vesuvius, Ravello, etc. You can definitely trust this guy. Check him out at TripAdvisor.

The Hotel Corallo, located in the town of Sant'Agnello, is a hotel situated on a clifftop with panoramic terraces and views of the Gulf of Naples, Vesuvius and the Sorrentine peninsula. The centre of Sorrento and Tasso Square with its characteristic alleys, is just 2 km away and can be reached on foot or by public transport. In 1910 this elegant patrician house became "Hotel Cappuccini", a meeting point for artists and intellectuals such as the great Luigi Pirandello, who stayed here in the 1930's. The recent renovations have enhanced an exclusive blend of past and present ensuring the hotel provides a beautiful backdrop for a relaxing holiday - an ideal place for visiting Naples, Amalfi, Positano, Ravello, the islands of Capri, Ischia and Procida, the archaeological excavations of Pompeii and Herculaneum and Vesuvius.
My family and I stayed here while in Sorrento. Magnificent water views. We had a fabulous time. The staff were amazing but a special shout out goes to Alessandro, Monica, Concetta, Maria and last but not least Raffaella! Raffaella you made our stay so enjoyable. You worked so hard to make everyone so happy. Hope one day to return. This hotel is special. I highly recommend.

Ravello Art Hotel Marmorata is a 4 stars hotel situated in Ravello on a wonderful cliff in a lovely, quiet and small bay, in the heart of the divine Amalfi Coast.The Hotel was an ancient paper-mill dating from the 15th century and thanks to the clever renovation and the antique marine style furnishing, it is unique in this enchanting inlet of the coast.Comfortable rooms with sea view, hydro-massage swimming-pool with landing stage, fitness-room and free parking are available to guests.From "L'Antica Cartiera", the inside hotel restaurant, our guests could enjoy a wonderful sea view
I stayed here on my own on a solo vacation. The staff were lovely and the hotel was clean, but it is quite dated in terms of decor. It has a beautiful swimming area and the breakfast is very nice (though unfortunately the view from the breakfast/dinner area on the terrace is obstructed by a window sill when you sit down that is right at eye level for most people). The room was fine, though my mattress was a bit lumpy and it was difficult to keep the room cool at times. The shower was also so small I could barely turn around in it and I’m not a big person (5’4 and 130lbs) and it was quite slippery to stand in and always leaked water all over the floor. Though the hotel may technically be in Ravello, is not in Ravello proper as the name would suggest. Ravello center is actually quite hard to get to from the hotel - it is either a gruelling 30 min uphill walk (1500 steps) to the town or a 40 euro taxi. The buss does not go from the area directly to Ravello you would have to transfer in Amalfi and back track. Your choices for dinner are then limited to the hotel restaurant (which is good but pricy and would lack of variety after sometime) or a 15 minute walk to Minori along the highway or a 30-40 min walk to Amalfi the other direction. Taxis here are extremely over priced (a taxi to the hotel from Amalfi will cost 30 euros even though it’s a 10 min drive). The hotel does have shuttles but they are limited in space and the times available and don’t run in the evening. If you stay here you are better off having your own car to get around.

The Hotel Tramonto D'Oro offers to their guests roof swimming-pool with wonderful view of Positano, Capri's Faraglioni and De Li Galli's Island. Gym with Techno gym equipment, Steamed Bath and Sauna. The restaurant offers excellent regional fish dishes. Private parking, Free shuttle to the beach.
Unbelievable views with unbelievable service in perfect English where they made taxi and restaurant reservations for us! Superbly clean, one of the few places with a spectacular pool and rooftop with views of Capri and Positano and the ocean and great food and wine. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious each morning. Praiano was perfectly located with smaller town charms but easy access to Positano and Amalfi with the bus stops for Sita and the local bus outside the hotel. The path up for Path of the Gods is within one block as well. Cannot say enough good things about this hotel and their amazingly helpful staff!

We cannot say enough about this hotel. The location and views were perfect and spectacular, and the architecture, decor and spaces were like nothing we have seen before. Attention has been paid to every detail, from the wonderful breakfast, beautiful veranda, large and wonderfully decorated rooms and bathrooms, to the beautiful walk down to Marina Grande along the hotel’s own outdoor staircase, beautifully landscaped and lit. Paulo and everyone greeted us each time we returned, to hear what we had done, and helped plan fantastic outings, including the best table every time it seemed. We could not have been happier.

This property is 2 minutes walk from the beach. Set on the cliff tops and a 15-minute walk from the centre of Sorrento, Hotel Belair offers an outdoor pool, à la carte restaurant and elegant-style accommodation with a sea-view balcony. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout.
Exceptional hotel - views are unbelievable. Walk to town is easy. Food is incredible. Highly recommend a walk west to the Bagnio as well. My only complaint, as others have mentioned: the tile and marble throughout the building carry sound, and therefore we heard low, rumbling noises (water pipes? Elevator? Staff moving around?) throughout the entirety of our stay. If your neighbors are up and moving around, it is very loud. We were unable to nap during the day and didn’t sleep well at night either because of constant noises (even playing white noise on our phone + sleeping with a pillow over our heads.)
