Sorrento has for many centuries fascinated visitors of every nationality with its colours, sounds and perfumes, with its food and culture. Apart from its treasures, Sorrento is the best location from which to explore all the surrounding interesting places of the Naples area. Capri, famous for its jet set patronage and chic boutiques, is a short boat trip away, Naples, Mount Vesuvius, the cliff towns of Amalfi, Ravello and Positano, the archaeological sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum are all within easy reach. The Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria dates back to the early 1800s and offers the perfect blend of a deluxe five star hotel hospitality with the warmth and intimacy of southern Italy. The property has been owned by the Fiorentino family for sixth generations and has been lovingly restored and refurbished with modern comforts whilst maintaining the charm and elegance of the original Victorian style. The Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria occupies a spectacular cliff top position, some 50 metres above the sea, with views across the Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius. It is situated in the heart of Sorrento with its entrance off the main piazza, yet is undisturbed by the activity of the town centre, due to the surrounding five-acre garden with orange and lemon groves. The 92 rooms are located in the three adjoining buildings of La Vittoria, La Favorita and La Rivale, which form the hotel complex. All rooms are en suite and have satellite television, direct telephone, mini-bar, air conditioning and safe box. Most rooms have a balcony or terrace with unrivalled views over the Bay of Naples or the hotel’s lush garden. Staying in one of the Excelsior Vittoria’s 21 suites, guests experience the maximum in luxury and comfort.
