Grand Hotel Vesuvio Sorrento
Grand Hotel Vesuvio Sorennto is located on top of the hill which makes for a breathtaking view. It is positioned perfectly for a vista across the bay. And in the other direction, olive and lemon groves on the hillside.
Set about ten minutes drive from the center of charming Sorrento. A little out of the way, but that just means the surroundings are quiet and peaceful. It is about one mile from town. The distance to the town should not be an issue due to the hotel offers a free shuttle bus. Very regular and reliable, starts at 9 a.m. and runs to 11 p.m. with a four hour break during the afternoon. Walking down would be easy enough. However at night it can be a bit difficult, with minimal street lighting and the uphill journey.

The breakfast provided is a well stocked buffet with plenty of choices of everything you could wish for. Cereals, yogurts and fresh fruit. Assorted breads, cheeses and cold cuts. As well as decadent pastries and cakes. Cooked breakfasts, but you would need to ask the waiter for these. There is a juice machine that has four choices. Waiters serve coffee, tea or hot chocolate.
