Address
Via Cocumella 7 - Sorrento

The Grand Hotel Cocumella is considered one of the most prestigious hotels in Sorrento, Italy. Its long and illustrious history began in 1822, when the former Jesuit residence dating from the 16th century was transformed into a luxury hotel, which has only expanded and improved over the past two centuries. Famous guests including the Duke of Wellington, Goethe, Murat, and Hans Christian Andersen have stayed here over the years, and international artists and celebrities still continue to choose the Cocumella for their stay on Italy's Coast.

A Garden Overlooking the Bay of Naples

The garden at the Cocumella is the jewel in the hotel's crown, with its Mediterranean flora, citrus orchard, lush flowering plants, bright colors, and tropical scents. It is here where guests love to wander and relax in the soothing quiet until reaching the sweeping terrace over the sea, where they are treated to an unforgettable view of the Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius.

Relaxation Any Way You Like

Pool, sundeck, wellness, tennis, and a magnificent historic garden: at the Cocumella you can relax in any style you prefer. Take some time for sports, treat yourself to a beauty treatment or massage, or simply meander through the garden with its view over the Bay of Naples from the hotel terraces.

Hop on the historic sailboat from 1880 to explore the islands in the Bay of Naples and the Amalfi Coast! Grand Hotel Cocumella offers this unique and unforgettable experience to hotel guests.

Luxury Rooms

Guest rooms at the Grand Hotel Cocumella are perfect jewels, each unique and luxurious. The 60 rooms are carefully decorated and furnished with period pieces and, in some, marble fireplace. Suites include a living area and jetted tub in the bathroom.

Sorrento's Cuisine Served in Three Spots

Scintilla: the garden of Mediterranean flavors. L'agrumeto: from pizza to a light lunch served poolside. Coku: gourmet specialties by Robata with a view. Three unique restaurants with three different styles but a single level of excellence. Whichever you choose, the menu has been crafted to provide guests with the opportunity to sample authentic Italian cuisine.

The Grand Hotel Cocumella in Sorrento is also the perfect venue for weddings, receptions, banquets, and elegant events.

10/10 Perfection

La Cocumella is amazing! I can't say enough good things about it! The entire staff went above and beyond in all aspects. The location of Cocumella is a quick shuttle away from the main square/center. The shuttle is available during convenient hours, and when it is not available, the walk to the main square is quite enjoyable as well. The concierge is also very helpful at organizing a taxi if needed. The views at Cocumella are absolutely stunning and the grounds soooo beautiful. Our rooms were so unique and wonderful ( we stayed in Junior suite, & Junior suite duplex). The nightly turndown team also did a great job and was a nice touch! The food and service was impeccable. Each restaurant on premises was delicious and had wonderful service and ambiance. Make sure to stop by L'Argumeto for a poolside wood-fired pizza!! The service staff always had smiles and paid wonderful attention. The bartender, Genaro, is one of a kind! He is so much fun to hang out with at the bar and makes the most amazing cocktails. He truly added to an incredible experience during our stay. The concierge staff is so wonderful as well. The manager, Michele did everything in his power to accommodate our requests during our stay and truly went above and beyond to make our stay the most enjoyable! Giuseppe, from concierge was also wonderful and extremely helpful. We had left a valuable item in our hotel room and he graciously helped us get it back to the United States with ease. 10/10 would recommend. We look forward to future stays at La Cocumella!

For starters, the service at the Grand Hotel Cocumella is a 6+, the grounds are lovely at least a 5, but the room/sleeping experience was a 2, if I'm being generous. The room itself could use some sprucing up, but for a hotel that age it was forgivable. What was NOT OKAY was that we had a front facing room, the air conditioning did not work and it was pretty warm weather, so we had no choice but to leave the window open, and it was LOUD. Unbelievably loud. Jackhammer/leaf blower/Indy 500 loud. The road fronting the hotel is extremely busy all night long, with a preponderance of muffler-less scooters and trucks. Also, the location is somewhat inconvenient. It's a long walk from downtown and the shuttle ceases running at 9:00 p.m.. Huh??? Italians don't even sit down to dinner until then! Combine that with the mind-exploding costs of Sorrento taxis and it makes this hotel location less than ideal.

We used the hotel as a base to explore the area and it is well situated to reach all the big sites Vesuvio, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Capri, Ravello, Positano, Amalfi etc. Sorrento itself is also a lovely town. Two things are special about this hotel - firstly the staff. They couldn’t be friendlier, or more helpful, the service was simy excellent from every department. The second is the location - gardens are beautiful, views of the Bay are idyllic and the ability to sea swim was a delight. As to the food, the breakfasts were excellent with a wide range of produce and fresh food. The pool side restaurant served both salads and pizzas which were highly enjoyable. In the evening, we tried both main restaurants but Coku was the clear winner (recommend the tasting menu), whereas the main restaurant was good, rather than outstanding. As much as I loved this hotel and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it, I didn’t use 5 stars as the physical environment is a little tired and dated. If you want shiny and new, you will be disappointed, I would characterise the hotel as ‘fading elegance but full of charm’.
