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.

Possibly the worst hotel I have ever stayed in, in Italy. We paid for half board, but the food was so bad we ended up eating out which significantly cost us more. The staff were rude, surly and unpleasant. This hotel looks good on paper but avoid. If you try to complain you get slammed back by the unpleasant staff. DO NOT STAY HERE, IT IS SO BAD

This is a beautiful hotel and the staff are helpful and kind. The views are extraordinary of the Bay of Naples and of Vesuvius and it is a short walk to the City Center where we had excellent meals and lots of Gelato. The live music on our last night, the views of Sorrento, and the wine, made for an excellent end to a wonderful stay.

This hotel is amazing not just because of its cleanliness and beautiful layout, and amazing breakfast each morning. But the view from the pool area and, some, of the rooms are just to do for. If I came again, I would get an even nicer room with a nicer view!

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
