One of Sorrento's most exclusive luxury hotels, Bellevue Syrene is located in the most scenic spot along the coastal cliffs directly above the Mediterranean. An elegant historic villa, this iconic hotel has welcomed a number of celebrity and noble guests over the past two centuries, inlcluding the Empress Eugenie of France and Marguerite Yourcenar, who it is said penned Coup de Grâce during one of her stays.

Bellevue Syrene's sumptuous halls are breathtaking, decorated with ornate frescoes and antique furnishings; the elegant Villa Pompeiana is one of the most sought after venues for gala dinners and wedding receptions along the Italian coast, with its two ornate halls and Pompeii-inspired colonnaded terrace.

The original rooms and suites are continually upgraded and refurbished, maintaining their historic elegance while offering the best in modern comfort with their sophisticated blend of classic and contemporary decor. All Hotel Bellevue Syrene's rooms have their own private balcony with sea views, while the luxurious suites feature large private terraces looking out over the Bay of Naples.

Guests of the Bellevue Syrene can dine in any one of the hotel's restaurants featuring the iconic cuisine of southern Italy. From the bright conservatory of the fine-dining Don Giovanni Restaurant or the welcomingly intimate Gli Archi restaurant indoors, to the Pergola snack and cocktail bar or the romantic Il Pino restaurant on the outdoor terraces facing the Mediterranean, guests can find everything from multi-course meals to light snacks.

Historic hotel overlooking the Gulf of Naples

The Bellevue is a historical hotel perched above the Gulf of Naples yet still in the center of Sorrento. The common areas are architecturally stunning particularly their restaurants. Go for a drink in the afternoon supremely made by a skilled bartender or dinner and you'll be rewarded with a direct view of the sunset. Breakfast however was our favorite. Located on a stone veranda with sea views, a piano player, and incredible buffet including a full frame of honeycomb. The rooms have similar views of the sea. We were upgraded to a gorgeous suite with two balconies that was difficult to leave. Good news is you don't have to. Watch the sunset from the balcony, order room service, and have a private dinner with a view. There are random works of art that the hotel has accumulated over decades, possibly longer considering it was built in 1820. Everywhere you go, there's some sort of art piece which makes the hotel fell like staying in a museum. There's the requisite beach club and other amenities, however, the staff is what I remember most. Not only did they upgrade us and walk us through the features of our room, but they researched and presented several options for a private boat tour of the Amalfi coast. They booked it, gave us directions on meeting the boat, and followed up on our experience afterwards. They really cared that we enjoyed ourselves. From the front desk, concierge, porters, restaurant hostess, waiter, etc..the staff was attentive and accommodating. We had relatives join us for breakfast after we already sat down and they put together a larger table and made our relatives feel like guests. That service permeated the hotel and a big reason we would go back. The Bellevue Syrene is a historical hotel with a story, beautiful common areas, overflowing with Italian art, run by a fantastic staff that is only a few blocks from the center of town. The only drawback is it's difficult to leave!

Hotel Bellevue Syrene is a stunning, clean, and perfectly serene property. The views of the water and garden in front of the hotel are spectacular, the staff is super friendly. A special, heartfelt thank you goes to Rosa! She is a very sweet young lady who went completely above and beyond for my daughter and I! Rosa arranged a wonderful room upgrade for us and was incredibly generous in helping us celebrate my daughter's birthday. Everything about this hotel is great, but Rosa’s exceptional hospitality truly stole our hearts. We cannot wait to return!

This is the type of place I dream of going back to. Not only were the views amazing but the staff went above and beyond to make sure we didn't lift a finger. Rooms were cleaned twice a day with tons of amenities (little snacks, multiple bottles of water, fully stocked fridge, and more). We called the front desk about several things we feel like a hotel normally wouldn't fix and they had a solution right away. They brought us a mattress pad, there was a pillow menu, room service food was actually some of the best that we had on our trip, they ordered takeout for us and brought it back to the hotel with their porter. Their breakfast room overlooking the sea was the most serene place out of our whole two weeks in Italy. They have someone playing classical music on a grand piano every day at breakfast as well. All staff are incredibly polite. Can't emphasize all the amenities and included snacks, drinks, and food enough. The views from the beach club were also to die for. Worth the money!

Map

Hotel Bellevue Syrene is located just a few steps away from the center of Sorrento. The Cloisters of San Francesco and the picturesque roads of the historic center are within easy walking distance.

In addition to being a historic seaside resort, Sorrento is an excellent base from where to explore the Campania region too. From Sorrento, the city of Naples, the archaeological sites of Pompei and Herculaneum, the Amalfi Coast and the towns of Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello, are all no more than an hour away.

The port of Sorrento, from where ferry boats and hydrofoils regularly depart for the islands of Capri and Ischia, is a mere 5 minute walk from the hotel.
