01 · In a sentence

Hotel Palazzo Guardati in Sorrento, open MayAugust.

Perched on the Sorrentine Peninsula's dramatic coastline, Hotel Palazzo Guardati commands sweeping views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Bay of Naples from its clifftop position.

The 19th-century palazzo preserves period architectural details while offering modern event spaces, with terraces overlooking vertical limestone cliffs and Mediterranean gardens.

Natural light floods reception areas, framing Capri and the Amalfi Coast as your ceremony backdrop.

If I could give this more than 5 stars I would. This was my first trip to the charming country of Italy and words cannot begin to describe the immense pleasure I had visiting such an endearing paradise on Earth. My sister and I spent 10 incredible days in Sorrento and explored the incredible areas from there. The island of Capri was quaint and Pompei was a hauntingly fascinating place trapped forever in a moment in time. But, the place that holds my heart forever more is the town of Sorrento. I came to that charming village in desperate need of a break from life and it not only filled my cup with peace, joy and happiness but has given me memories I shall carry with me forevermore. We stayed at the delightful Hotel Palazzo Guardati located in the heart of the town square. The staff at this charming hotel were kind, courteous, and always willing to help their guests out. They helped us arrange for a private driver to/from the airport and eagerly offered up recommendations for local restaurants and activities. In addition, we had the absolute pleasure of spending time with their accomplished bartender, Pepe, who takes the time to get to know the guests, understand what their tastes are and to offer up treats and drinks that makes their stay a true enjoyment. I shall return again to this hotel in the future and to spend time in my new home away from home, Sorrento. Until then, nonostante la distanza, sei sempre nel mio cuore.
