Why we’d goA Sorrento base near the village and Continental dining precinct, with space for a slow morning before heading home.
InterContinental Sorrento is the hotel within the wider Continental precinct. The operator lists rooms in its Heritage Wing, Main Wing and Riley Lane, along with a guest pool deck. The precinct's restaurants and bars and Aurora Spa have their own bookings; check what your room includes before adding either.
For a one-night stay, arrive with time to enjoy Sorrento without another drive. Reserve dinner separately and leave the next morning loose for breakfast and a walk. Hotel address, contact and accommodation details checked online against the operator site on 30 September 2026. Confirm availability and inclusions for your dates.
