Family hotels close to a beach

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.

Family friendly guest houses

Palazzo Jannuzzi Relais
