Vesiuvius Views in a Central Location

Close to the Train Station and Harbour

Sorrento isn't short of hotels boasting all sorts of features, but the Grand Hotel De La Ville Sorrento is the real deal. In less than five minutes you can be basking on the glorious seaside, admiring the Bay of Naples and breathtaking views of Mount Vesuvius, or shopping in Sorrento's main square, Piazza Tasso. The direct train from Naples takes an hour, and the hotel is only 200 metres from the train station. Those with sea legs may prefer the 40-minute hydrofoil crossing, as the hotel is 500 metres from the harbour and port, next to Museo Correale di Terranova.

Shopaholic's Paradise

Venture out of your hotel and you'll find yourself in the heart of this lovely town. Explore the Baroque Church del Carmine in the Piazza Tasso, or simply sip locally produced limoncello and watch tourists and Sorrentines go about their daily business. Sorrento is only a nine kilometres (three miles) square, making it easy to explore in a short time. The open-topped bus is ideal if you don't feel like walking, or pick up a map from the friendly reception staff at the Grand Hotel De La Ville and see it on foot. If you are in Sorrento on a Tuesday check out the weekly market held on Via San Renato, otherwise browse the shops and stalls on Corso Italia and Via San Cesareo. It is common for shops and businesses to close between 1pm and 5pm, though they do stay open until around 8pm.

Comfortably Affordable

The Grand Hotel De La Ville is a large complex spread over six floors, yet it retains a personal charm. The rooftop terrace has incredible views towards Mount Vesuvius, as well as a bar and outdoor pool. Eating breakfast in the garden is a treat you can enjoy every day, and there are two restaurants serving lunch and dinner.

All guest rooms have a private terrace or balcony, and it is worth upgrading to a Premier Sea View room for the best views. The Grand Hotel De La Ville is affordable 4-star superior Sorrento accommodation without cutting corners. Rooms are spacious and include free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, a generous sized bathroom, a TV with English language satellite channels, and a minibar. 

The Bottom Line

Grand Hotel De La Ville Sorrento is family friendly accommodation in a wonderful location convenient for everything without needing a car.
