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.

Fabulous Hotel and staff

My daughter and I stayed at Grand Hotel Cocumella in August this year and it was as fabulous as ever. It was our 4th stay at this hotel from over the years and the location and hotel are fantastic. We particularly want to mention the wonderful friendly staff who add to the whole experience. Particular thanks to Giusepe, the chief Concierge, who continues to be as helpful, professional and as friendly as on our first visit. Also we have to mention the wonderful bartender Gennaro who is so much fun and made us laugh so much. Thank you to all at Columella and we hope to visit again

We have been loyal guests of this enchanting property for over three years; we chose it to celebrate our wedding and since then we have always reserved a few days at the end of summer to spend in the little paradise of Cocumella. Every year the level of hospitality is always excellent, but this year the staff truly outdid themselves. We enjoyed the services of the wonderful sea-view suite, surrounded by the care and attention of the staff who ensured we had priceless serenity and relaxation. Everything, from the breakfast (always unparalleled in the quality and variety of products) to the dining room staff (kind and discreet), to the housekeeper (always ready to step in to satisfy every need), to the beach assistance service (efficient and very friendly), contributed to making our stay a daydream. We will return, obviously, as we do every year. Thank you

This hotel is pure luxury. It’s authentic and soaked in history and tradition. The grounds are stunning, beautiful gardens and stunning views. Great breakfast and wonderful staff. Loved that fact you don’t need to fuss around with towels and sun-beds - all done for you on demand. The shuttle service in and out of central Sorento is an added bonus, it saves a 20 minute walk which is intense in August heat. My only constructive criticism is that there is no coffee machine in the room, which in my experience is unusual for a 5 star hotel.

My husband booked this historic hotel and it is a gem. The property is stunning with an amazing beach club and access to the sea. The pool is a quiet oasis surrounded by lush gardens where a refreshing breeze helps heat the heat. The staff is kind and genuine - the bartender Massimo shared enthusiastic tips for travel and lots of facts about the history of the region. Every person who works here seems genuinely happy to assist. Our room was comfortable and large with a little veranda and all the best modern conveniences. We will definitely be back - we fell in love with Sorrento and this world class experience.
