Rialto Score 9.5+

A Leading Hotels Of The World hotel. Rialto is a Virtuoso agency: book this hotel direct at the VIP rate for benefits that can include priority room upgrades, hotel credits, and more.

The historic Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria’s most popular accommodation is the One-of-a-kind Suite Caruso, which retains much of the same decor and furnishings (including the piano) from when the famous Italian tenor called it home in 1921. Garden-view junior suites overlook the beautiful orange grove, while sea-view junior suites and sea-view deluxe suites have amazing views of the Mediterranean Sea and Mount Vesuvius. Relax in the tranquil garden, swim in the pool, or take the lift down to the pier. It’s the perfect base from which to explore the area, which includes Capri, Positano, Ravello, Pompeii, and Naples.

In the hotel’s own words

Perched on the cliff edge of Sorrento, the largest city of the Amalfi Coast, the inimitable Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria has a history full of superlatives. Owned and operated by the Fiorentino family since 1834, the property has hosted Richard Wagner and Oscar Wilde, who enjoyed the same breath-taking views of the Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius as today's guests. Ruins of Roman Emperor Augustus’ villa are said to lay beneath the property, and the past is also alive in such details as the 18th-century columns, frescoed ceilings and antiques displayed throughout. Set in five-acres of beautiful gardens, the property is a Mediterranean gem built on the site of a splendid villa belonging to Roman Emperor Augustus. 80 elegantly appointed rooms and suites evoke a welcoming, residential ambience while offering the conveniences of today. Away from the hustle and bustle of the town, The Bosquet Terrace restaurant is a timeless oasis of elegance and charm. Dine al fresco on five-star gourmet cuisine, against a backdrop of the iconic Mt Vesuvius and stunning sunsets over the Gulf of Naples and the Coast of Sorrento – it really is the most romantic place to eat in Sorrento. Michelin-starred Executive Chef, Antonino Montefusco, artfully reinterprets the hotel’s renowned gastronomic tradition with his acclaimed culinary creativity. L'Orangerie poolside bar & restaurant offers delicious favourites in a relaxed and comfortable setting. Located in the orange grove by the pool area, L’orangerie is open every day for lunch and dinner during the summer season. At night, the restaurant’s bar transforms into a glamourous lounge area serving late-night tapas-style, delicious small plates and local and international wines and exotic speciality cocktails. Come and experience great food, funky music and fun times. Terrazza Vittoria is a superb bar and restaurant set on Sorrento’s most iconic terrace, facing the sea, the coast and Mount Vesuvius. It is the perfect place to go for lunch in Sorrento and serves a selection of our Chef's exquisite Neapolitan specialities.For those who wish to enjoy a drink, the choice is among 3 bars: the Vittoria bar, offering the most breath-taking views on its terrace; the Pergola Champagne bar, under the wisteria pergola facing Sorrento main square; or the Orangerie Pool bar, a relaxing and glamorous lounge with summer live music.To enjoy relaxing, healthy moments the Boutique Spa La Serra is the perfect location. Created in a converted 19th century greenhouse, next to the swimming pool, and surrounded by olive and orange trees, it is bathed in natural sunlight for most of the day.
