Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria in Sorrento, Naples, Italy | Hotel

The Romans, with their unfailing eye for beauty, were among the first to appreciate the spectacular scenery and temperate climate of Surrentum, perched on the cliffs of the Sorrento Peninsula in an area that also lies along the famous coast road known as the â??Amalfitanaâ?.
The long history of the Excelsior Vittoria is reflected in the unique fin-de-siècle style of the building, which still retains its period of splendour. The interiors are tastefully decorated and contain original antique furniture including beautiful pieces, crafted locally, with inlaid decoration.
The Hotel and its terraces, famous for their breathtaking views over the Bay of Naples, have played host to many celebrities and discerning travellers including Kings and Queens, Artists (Richard Wagner, Enrico Caruso, Jack Lemmon, Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren) and other notable personalities attracted to Sorrento and the surrounding area.
Five acres of private garden with citrus and olive trees also contribute to make the Excelsior Vittoria a unique Hotel. There is a a large swimming pool in the grounds, with an orange grove nearby, where guests can bathe and relax in the Mediterranean sun.
From the main terrace, a private lift descends directly to the pier in the harbour below, where sight-seers can easily hire a motor boat for an excursion along the beautiful coastline of the peninsula, or take a trip to Capri, Naples and Ischia on one of the many jet boat and hydrofoil services, which operate daily.
With its unique charm and history, and excellent meeting facilities (capacity up to 250) the Excelsior Vittoria offers a perfect venue for guests looking to combine work and leisure.
