The Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria enjoys an unprecedented location at the heart of Sorrento with breathtaking views over the Bay of Naples and the Mount Vesuvius. Founded in 1834 under the caring management of the Fiorentino family, the hotel charms visitors with its timeless elegance. Set in five-acres of beautiful gardens, the hotel is a Mediterranean gem built on the site of a splendid villa belonging to Roman Emperor Augustus. Over the years it has welcomed many of the world’s most famous royalties, artists, musicians and writers. The 79 rooms are still outfitted with period furniture, although offering the ultimate in luxury and comfort. Most have a balcony or terrace with unrivalled views over the Bay of Naples or the hotel’s lush garden.

To enjoy relaxing, healthy moments the Boutique Spa La Serra is the perfect location. Created in a converted 19th century greenhouse, next to the swimming pool, and surrounded by olive and orange trees, it is bathed in natural sunlight for most of the day.
