The 7 Best Family Hotels in Sorrento (2025)

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 properties close to the beach, with swimming pools and with spacious family suites.

For proximity to a beach

• 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. 
• 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 parents, plus light and airy, uncluttered rooms.
• 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.

For a pool

• Villa Manning Relais is a stuccoed 19th-century villa with a pretty leafy garden and pool. Interiors are elegant, featuring fine tiling, craft Italian furniture and artisan ceramics. Rooms are fresh and airy with arched windows and garden views. With rooms sleeping up to three, boats for hire, and the outdoor space, this is a good family option.
• Anna Belle Elegant Resort is a sumptuous resort with magnificent sea views, set in expansive gardens with a pool. Refined interiors feature elaborate floor tiles, classically elegant furniture and fine Persian rugs. A sophisticated stay but family-friendly too (cots and family suites are available).

For good value

• Close to Sorrento’s main square, Palazzo Abagnale & Tritone is a chic guesthouse that 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 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.
