Address
Via Bernardino Rota, 44, - Sorrento

Perched directly above the sea and featuring a series of tunnels excavated directly though the stone cliff leading from the hotel above to the private beach below, the Hotel Parco dei Principi is a masterpiece of Italian architecture and ingenuity. Designed by the architect Giò Ponti, the complex blends perfectly with the stunning beauty of Sorrento and the breathtaking surrounding land and seascapes.

Three Centuries of Beauty

The Parco dei Principi has a long history, first as a residence for noble dames and barons in the 1700's, and then as a venue for exclusive and luxurious parties and events in the following century. In the mid-1900's, the architect Giò Ponti was commissioned to transform the historic villa into a luxury hotel while maintaining an aesthetic harmony with the surrounding coastline.

Here, the azure tones of the sky, sea, and traditional majolica tiles blend together, and are echoed in the decor of the bright rooms with views over the garden and sea. This triumph of Italian style and design honors the Mediterranean water and land in its balance of modernity and tradition.

The Family Room, completely surrounded by the lush grounds, is the perfect solution for those travelling with family due to its ample indoor space including a double room and separate living area with sofabed, both of which have their own TV.

Luxury by the Sea or the Pool

The private beach at Hotel Parco dei Principi is particularly unique, formed from two rocky cliffs supporting a sundeck perched over the clear turquoise waters of Sorrento. Guests reach the beach through a series of tunnels dug through the cliffside beneath the hotel, and exit directly onto a private seaside paradise. The saltwater outdoor pool was also designed by Giò Ponti and is completely surrounded by the shady grounds of the hotel. The diving board in the center of the pool seems to float on the water's surface (pool's use is seasonal, limited to the summer months).

The Sea at Your Table

Both in the summer when guests can dine on the dock at the beach directly on the water with the cool sea breeze and sound of the waves acting as dinner companions at the Ristorante Poggio Siracusa, or in the Sala Giò Ponti dining room with views over the water from the picture windows, guests can sample the most traditional dishes from Sorrento, featuring the bounty of the land and sea.

Want to stay fit on vacation? At the Parco dei Principi, the gym is open 24 hours a day.

Worth the Hype

I was a little worried given the mixed reviews here but was pleasantly surprised. It is a beautiful property. The rooms were a decent size, clean, and with a great beach vibe. The breakfast had a great variety of fresh fruits, savory items, and sweets- with a nice view of the Sorrento coast. What a great way to start the day! The diving board in the pool was fun and the beach offered different swimming / tanning options. The best part was the attentive staff who made sure our stay was exceptional. It is a bit of a walk to the main square and they do have a shuttle service. I just wish they offered more space or more vans given the number of guests during this time.

Très bel hôtel avec vue magique

Nous avons passé 8 jours dans ce magnifique hôtel dans une chambre vue jardin au 4e étage. La chambre était spacieuse, propre avec un joli balcon et tout le confort nécessaire en plus de petites attentions. Très bien insonorisée nous avons bien dormi. Le personnel de chambre est très gentil et toujours souriant. L'accueil et la conciergerie sont constamment disponibles et nous ont aidés à organiser excursions et autres demandes. Maintenant, passons à la vue mer : magique ! La plage est bien gérée et peu encombrée. Les plagistes sont aux petits soins et font les meilleurs expresso macchiato au monde (spéciale dédicace 😉). L'eau était claire et à 27°C. Il faut juste se méfier des goélands : voleurs en tous genres. Le restaurant de la plage offre une vue sur mer à 180°...baie de Naples, Vesuve, Ischia...et les couchers de soleil sont à tomber. Le personnel est charmant, de bons conseils et attentionné. La carte offre des choix divers, traditionnels mais travaillés. Nous en avons bien profité. Dommage que cette carte ne change pas d'une semaine à l'autre. Seul petit bémol : l'hôtel est assez loin du centre de Sorrento, malgré un système de navettes avec des horaires trop réduits. Le début d'après-midi n'est pas couvert. Les taxis sont chers et le prix est dépendant du bon vouloir du chauffeur. Merci pour ce beau séjour qui restera dans nos mémoires.

Beautiful but not 5 star

Stunning iconic building and location, with amazing gardens and a view to die for. They had a wedding here while we stayed and were considerate with the music, but overall the experience is far from 5 star. The food is OK, breakfast on par with a basic 3 star equivalent, omelettes are an extra €15 and rubbery. The cafe by the beach is tasty and authentic, though our moules tasted like they were boiled in dishwater. Room service food is virtually inedible and they charged €15 just for the delivery to the room. The shampoo and conditioner were nailed to the wall and not refilled and the towels by the pool were threadbare and are guarded and rationed like we were about to steal them! For a 500 euro a night hotel, little touches of generosity are expected but sadly very absent here.

Esperienza fantastica al Parco dei Principi! Panorama da togliere il fiato, giardini curatissimi e interni pieni di charme. Piscina salata e spiaggia privata stupende. Personale sempre sorridente e cucina deliziosa. Cucina squisita e colazione ottima con varietà di scelta. Un soggiorno che resta nel cuore!
