Hillside location facing out over the Bay of Naples
- A stone’s throw from the beating heart of Sorrento
- Take a dip in the cascading swimming pool
- Dine with beautiful views on the hotel terrace
Perched on the side of a cliff and nestled into a rockface, Grand Hotel Capodimonte fuses so seamlessly with its surroundings we wouldn’t be surprised if you missed it the first time around! Put simply, this prestigious 4-star hotel is an architectural masterpiece. Built in the traditional Mediterranean style, the modern hotel is light, airy and decorated in an elegant classic-contemporary style.
Grand Hotel Capodimonte is a great escape for couples or families with older children. There are many quiet little corners to hide away in, as well as superb open spaces both in the lounges and on the terraces. As you can expect, the hotel enjoys gorgeous views of the Bay of Naples and Vesuvius, which are perhaps some of the best in Sorrento. But it is surely the hotel’s five cascading swimming pools that is its crowning glory. The pools all face that magnificent view, so you can cool off from the summer heat while admiring the sheer beauty before your eyes.
Despite its hidden, hillside location, Grand Hotel Capodimonte is less than 15-minutes’ walk away from Sorrento centro. The town is world-famous for ceramics so be sure to stroll the pretty streets looking for bargains. Food and wine plays a huge part in the way of life here and the little town has many wonderful options suitable for every taste and budget! The port, with direct links to the Amalfi coast and Capri is only 30 minutes away by foot.
The hotel has 184 rooms (official rating 4-star). Child prices apply to ages 2-12 years. Minimum stay 3 nights.
Facilities
Bars & Restaurants
Grand Hotel Capodimonte’s three restaurants, two bars and snack bar make staying in to eat out a treat! Expect lots of Sorrentino traditional fare here, along with a few international dishes too. Guests can enjoy indoor and outdoor seating; we particularly enjoyed eating on the wisteria covered terrace next to the pool, while the lights of Sorrento twinkled away in the background. Buon appetito!

About the location
Home to pedestrian streets lined with family-run gelaterias, souvenir shops selling wonderful ceramics and wonderful trattorias, Sorrento is a charming destination for all. After filling your Instagram feed with perfect pictures of Sorrento old town and pretty pastel houses tumbling into the sea, why not drink in a bit of culture? In just a short walk you’ll be at all the town’s sights, including the Museo Correale di Terranova, Sorrento’s art museum where you can see grand works from the 15-19th centuries.
Sorrento is built onto the side of a rocky mountain, which is covered in vines and olive and lemon groves. But if you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the town - it can get very busy during July and August - why not head up into the hills? Believe us, it’s worth the effort as spectacular views are guaranteed! For travellers who want to enjoy more urban charms, Naples and Pompeii are both about an hour’s drive or train ride away.
Sorrento excels in the Italian art of people watching, and time spent settled into a comfy chair, gazing at both the view and the passers by is time well spent. Order yourself a limoncello, grab yourself a prime spot on the Piazza Tasso and simply watch the world go by.

The Hotel Capodimonte is an excellent hotel in a great location, within easy walking distance to Sorrento town. We booked a sea view with a balcony, it was very clean spacious and views made the room worth paying the extra.
We stayed on a half board package, which allows it to be either dinner or lunch. The breakfasts were very good and the three course dinner and the main restaurant was ok, but if we visited again would book bed and breakfast an eat at one of many restaurants in Sorrento. The hotel staff were very helpful, they booked us a taxi back to the airport at €150. Be careful we took a white taxi (recommended in guide book) from the airport to the hotel and driver tried to charge us €250.
The port is a 20-30min walk away and from there you can take various boat trips. A trip by road to Amalfi coast is a must.
Overall this is hotel really is amazing and we would not hesitate to recommend

This is a fabulous hotel - great location and really beautiful inside, a real touch of Italian glamour. We had two rooms - a sea view prestige and a classic. Both were excellent but delighted I paid extra for the prestige room. That view is special. Housekeeping services were great and the rooms were spotless. Front desk was really helpful as were all staff. If I was being really picky it would be that the breakfast buffet needs some variation and maybe some evening entertainment in the bar would be good. There was a piano player one night who was excellent. Would definitely recommend and return. Grazie!

Capodimonte is a very good hotel. Immaculate inside and out. We originally booked a cheaper room without a view but with a balcony. It looked out onto the cliff behind the hotel. If we were only staying a day so, it would have done, however, as we were staying the whole week we upgraded to a room looking directly at Vesuvius and the city. It was expensive but definitely worth it.
We were on a half board package. The hotel allows it to be either dinner or lunch. The three course dinner and the main restaurant is pretty good. Efficient but slightly formal service with a wide menu choice which changed every two days. A previous reviewer commented that the lighting in the restaurant is over bright in the evening, so it loses what could be a more intimate ambiance.

We just got back from the Grand Hotel Capodimonte and we miss it already. From the minute I booked our rooms I was extremely satisfied with the responsiveness and the helpfulness of the hotel. I had questions about transfers to and from the hotel and train station and they helped me with all of it. I could have used other companies but knowing the hotel recommended and booked these services for me I felt secure knowing I was using reputable companies. They also helped me book a private boat for the day. Which as great. When we arrived at 9:30 AM, we were surprised to find out our rooms were ready and they upgraded my daughters room from a partial sea view to a full sea view at no charge. Thank you! The hotel itself is beautiful and located in the perfect area. You over look the ocean and Mt. Vesuvius as well as the hills and city of Sorrento. I don't know if there is a hotel with a better view. It is a very easy and quick walk to everything. The grounds have so many beautiful places to relax with beautiful views all around you. The pools were beautiful (although very cold :)). The pool area can fill up quickly but people come and go and there are plenty of places to enjoy the sun and views. We did have dinner in one of the dining rooms one night and I thought the food and selection was decent but nothing special but maybe it was a bad night! I would highly recommend this hotel for the views and location alone but having the added benefits of the concierge services and front desk employees who are so helpful makes this perfect place to stay.. I would go back in a heartbeat. We left a piece of our hearts in Sorrento. Thank you Hotel Capodimonte this was one of our best vacations ever!
