Description:
Location. Set in a five-acre garden of orange and lemon groves, Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria is a luxurious 19th-century hotel which is centrally situated off Sorrento's main Piazza, in a cliff-top position overlooking the Bay or Naples. Built at the site of the Roman Emperor August's villa, the hotel consists of three connecting buildings featuring ornate frescos, marble and trompe-l'oeil murals. Pompeii is 30 kilometres away, and Naples International Airport is 50 kilometres distance, an approximate driving of 75 minutes. Hotel Features. Grand Hotel Excelsior' orange and lemon groves surround an outdoor marble freshwater pool with complimentary sunbeds, parasols and towels. The holistic centre, set in a converted greenhouse, offers treatments including Japanese water therapy and algae wraps. Dining options at the hotel include formal dining in the elegantly decorated restaurant with marble walls, bas relief carvings and trompe l'oeil frescoes, and al fresco dining on the summer terrace with panoramic views of the Gulf of Naples. The hotel has a private lift down the 50 metre-high cliff to the Sorrento waterfront where boating is available. Guestrooms. The 98 guestrooms, over three adjoining buildings, feature elegant decor with floral frescoes, trompe-l'oeil murals, restored 19th-century ornate antique furnishings and marble bathrooms. All offer balconies or terraces with views over the bay of Naples or the gardens and orange groves. Amenities include air conditioning, satellite television, dial-up Internet connections (surcharge), direct-dial phones and minibars. Expert Tip. Many of Sorrento's cultural attractions are within walking distance of the hotel, including the church and cloister of San Francesco, the Church of Sant Antonino and Correale di Terranova Museum.
