Hotel Continental in Sorrento, open May–August.
Perched on the Sorrentine Peninsula with sweeping views across the Bay of Naples and toward Mount Vesuvius, Hotel Continental commands one of Italy's most dramatic coastal positions.
The property sits directly above the Mediterranean, with terraced gardens descending toward the water and the historic town of Sorrento spreading across the cliffsides below.
Classical architecture frames panoramic vistas from multiple event spaces, creating a naturally stunning backdrop for ceremonies and receptions.
Just come back from this amazing hotel and can't wait to return! Impeccable service, the cleanest rooms and the most wonderful location. Lovely breakfast. Antonio made an effort to learn our names on the first day and greet us warmly every morning and have a chat. Great selection of food at breakfast and the waiters were very attentive. The location is perfect and the view from the terrace bar is stunning. The rooms are cleaned to a high standard and the hotel is spotless throughout. Felt more like a 5star hotel. Loved it!
