SORRENTO
Italy |
The Excelsior Vittoria hotel in Sorrento Italy, established since 1834, is an unique hotel of world renown and great international prestige, located in the very heart of Sorrento, high on the cliff above the harbour and facing the Gulf of Naples and Mount Vesuvius. A private elevator gives immediate access to the port, where launches and hydrofoils await the guest in search of unforgettable gems of this coast and its islands, in particular the resort island of Capri, which is only a 30 minutes journey by hydrofoil or boat. Through gates and orange groves, up to the aristocratic residence with its great expanse of glass, and public rooms in the finest turn of the century style. In one of these hotel rooms lived the great tenor Caruso, captivated by the charm and the perfect seclusion of the hotel. The five acres of gardens seclude the Excelsior Vittoria hotel from Sorrento's main square, and provide the perfect setting for the hotel's large swimming pool.
