Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria

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…

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.
