The 5 Best Family Hotels in Sorrento

Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria

The long season of warm, sunny weather, the little beaches, the boat trips, the spectacular views and the charming alleys of pretty shops – Sorrento has all the ingredients for a family holiday. There are museums and ancient sites – including nearby Pompeii and Herculaneum – for little historians, craft shops for souvenir-hunters, and walks and watery activities for burning off energy. Our pick of the best family hotels in Sorrento include those close to the beach, those with swimming pools and those with big family suites.

Family hotels close to a beach

Relais Regina Giovanna

  • For a touch of luxury for all the family, it has to be the Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria, a magnificent villa with commanding clifftop views, yet only minutes from Sorrento’s main square. A private lift whisks guests down to the beach while there’s also a large outdoor pool, children’s playground, gardens and bicycles to hire. Bedrooms are large, airy and classically elegant.
  • If you prefer a peaceful spot on the edge of town, take a look at Relais Regina Giovanna, a large villa set amongst olive and fruit groves and with access to an idyllic private beach. There’s plenty of space for children to run around, a shady terrace for Mum and Dad, plus light and airy, uncluttered rooms.
  • Also on the edge of town, and also with a private beach, Hotel Meditteraneo is a large and lively hotel – 70 rooms – with outdoor pool, gardens, large terrace, modern rooms (many with sea-views) and a choice of two restaurants.

Family friendly guest houses

Palazzo Jannuzzi Relais

  • Close to Sorrento’s main square, Palazzo Abagnale & Tritone is a modern, chic guest house which offers excellent value. Rooms – including spacious family suites – are designer-crisp, there’s a small garden and it’s strolling distance from the cliffs, with their stunning views, as well as plenty of restaurants and cafes.
  • Also good value for money is the family-friendly 12-room Palazzo Jannuzzi Relais. Sitting on the famous Piazza Tasso, it couldn’t be more central. Rooms are bright, modern and airy – especially the family suites – with bold splashes of sunny yellow. Several rooms have balconies, plus there’s a small terrace.
