- For a touch of luxury for all the family, it has to be the Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria, a magnificent villa with commanding clifftop views, yet only minutes from Sorrento’s main square. A private lift whisks guests down to the beach while there’s also a large outdoor pool, children’s playground, gardens and bicycles to hire. Bedrooms are large, airy and classically elegant.
- If you prefer a peaceful spot on the edge of town, take a look at Relais Regina Giovanna, a large villa set amongst olive and fruit groves and with access to an idyllic private beach. There’s plenty of space for children to run around, a shady terrace for Mum and Dad, plus light and airy, uncluttered rooms.
- Also on the edge of town, and also with a private beach, Hotel Meditteraneo is a large and lively hotel – 70 rooms – with outdoor pool, gardens, large terrace, modern rooms (many with sea-views) and a choice of two restaurants.

- Close to Sorrento’s main square, Palazzo Abagnale & Tritone is a modern, chic guest house which offers excellent value. Rooms – including spacious family suites – are designer-crisp, there’s a small garden and it’s strolling distance from the cliffs, with their stunning views, as well as plenty of restaurants and cafes.
- Also good value for money is the family-friendly 12-room Palazzo Jannuzzi Relais. Sitting on the famous Piazza Tasso, it couldn’t be more central. Rooms are bright, modern and airy – especially the family suites – with bold splashes of sunny yellow. Several rooms have balconies, plus there’s a small terrace.
