Where to Stay in Sorrento

Sorrento is the Peninsula's cleanest answer for readers who want atmosphere, walkability, and a weekend that does not require constant re-driving. It gives you both sides of the place, bay calm on one side, back-beach energy on the other, plus a village core that actually carries a dinner-and-morning-coffee rhythm properly.

The strongest Sorrento stays differ less by star rating than by how they shape the weekend. Hotel Sorrento is the classic hilltop answer. The Continental is the stronger choice if you want the centre of town with the full hotel service experience.
