Imperial Hotel Tramontano in Sorrento, open May–August.
Built in 1902, Imperial Hotel Tramontano originated as a private villa before transformation into one of Sorrento's most prestigious coastal hotels.
The property maintains its Belle Époque architecture while offering modern wedding facilities overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Housed on the cliffs of Via Vittorio Veneto, it serves as both ceremony venue and guest accommodation.
This hotel is well known for its view as it's right on the cliff edge and in the centre of Sorrento. The views from the bar terrace, particularly at sunset, are amazing as you see the sea and Naples without any obstruction. However rooms are over priced and hotel is overrated. For example price you pay per night £500 is too expensive for this hotel. Rooms are quite old and not soundproof. I wasn't happy with breakfast at all. Very basic breakfast and you need to pay for something decent including fresh juice. For the first time I have seen a 4 star hotel where they charge you for a fresh juice in breakfast. Overall, it's a good hotel in terms of view and location but definitely overpriced. Pros: - Amazing panoramic views of the coast - Good location for ferries and walking distance to the town - ‘Tony’ the bell man was very helpful especially changing our room since it was very small and always spoke to us and make sure our stay was enjoyable. He was amazing! - Beach access Cons: - Breakfast was limited and was the same each morning. Not much hot food selection and disliked having to pay extra from a menu for hot food when paying a lot of money - No kettle or cups in room, 4 star hotels shoud have this in rooms. I personally like to have a cup of tea in my room at my leisure than depending on room service incurring extra costs - Quite an old hotel that would benefit from refurbishment it looks tired, scary and had an odour. - Not pram or wheelchair friendly lots of steps especially getting to the outdoor restaurant - No heating in room only air conditioning room was rather cold having to use blankets on bed to keep warm - Paying to use beach considering we were guests at hotel
