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.

Amazing hotel

The most amazing hotel. We had a villa type room to accommodate my husband, I and 2 children. The villa had a kitchen with dishwasher, microwave, fridge and dishes. Even though we weren't cooking we were able to heat up leftover takeway. We are all vegetarian and my son has a gluten allergy - the kitchen made up gluten free pasta dishes for him on request and they provided a gluten free basket at breakfast which contained a variety of prepackaged gluten free products which they heated. At dinner they prepared 2 types of amuse bouche gluten free for all of us so my son didn't feel left out. The villa had a jacuzzi which my kids loved and we were given complimentary a bottle of Limonecello and 3 different types of olive oil. The hotel has a complimentary shuttle into the village center however we used it once and walked the rest of the time as its a 20 min walk from the hotel. Staff were friendly and very accommodating. Would definitely stay here again.

Elegance and comfort at every turn

My wife and I stayed at Parco dei Principi Sorrento for a week on our honeymoon. The hotel accommodations and service exceeded our already high expectations. Upon arriving we were taken care immediately. Staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. We arrived early in the morning (9am) well before check-in time. We had a rental car that staff valet parked for us (and had ready for our use at any moment during our stay) and our luggage was stored for us until checking. My wife and I relaxed in the bar area with an early cocktail while we decompressed from traveling from the US. The hotel is short walk to the center of Sorrento so we made our way into town on foot till kill time before checking in. After returning to the hotel for check-in, our luggage was awaiting in our beautiful room overlooking the sea. The room was elegant and timeless with all of the comforts of home. The room was serviced twice a day (if you wish) and every time we returned from an excursion it was as if we had first arrived. Breakfast every morning was wonderful and the staff took care of us at every turn. We dined in the restaurant at the hotel only once (so many wonderful restaurants in the area) but the food and service was amazing. Every evening we would start with a cocktail in the Blu Bar before heading out to dinner or to explore the town. This is where we had our best experiences. The bartenders would engage in conversation and provide helpful insight on activities and tips for around town, it made us feel as if we were in our neighborhood bar back home, only much nicer! Even though it was April and cooler temperatures, we relaxed by the beautiful sea water pool multiple times. Again, enjoying delicious food and wonderful staff. Any time you sit, they greet you with your drinks and a tray of light snacks. From top to bottom for the entirety of our stay, the experience was outstanding. Restaurant and bar staff, valet, concierge 10/10! We would love to come back in the future when it is warmer to take full advantage of everything Parco dei Principi has to offer!

Major mold = dealbreaker

It breaks my heart to write this review which is why it's taken me a long time to actually write it because the staff was nothing but sweet and did their best to help (my only reason for giving 2 stars instead of one). But I hate to think others will pay quite a bit for this place without first knowing what to expect. You are definitely paying for the gorgeous view with this hotel. We were given an upgraded room with a balcony but I'd be even more disappointed if we weren't. The pros… *Welcoming and kind staff. They did their best to accommodate. *Gorgeous view *Our room had a patio with peaceful ocean sounds and beautiful sunset views *Easy to get to quaint beach downstairs with staff that were super helpful The not so great parts… *The hotel itself is a bit dated and run down. **The biggest issue was the major black mold in the shower which was quite concerning and unacceptable. They came in and tried to clean it but you can tell it's been there for a really long time. I hated taking a shower, in the tiny space, trying to avoid touching anything. After visiting around and talking to some friends, there are way better places to stay in Amalfi.

Beautiful Hotel overlooking the coast

We stayed in one of the newly renovated apartments set in the gardens. It was genuinely wonderful with a huge walk down jacuzzi bath inside. This hotel is beautiful. Overlooking the sea and mount Vesuvius. The grounds are filled with botanical plants and lemon trees. Hotel staff lovely and very helpful. We had dinner in the hotel which was delicious, with two fussy children who were both happy. The location is 5 mins drive into Sorrento. Walkable but we had a car so drove for shopping. It was my birthday and my husband arranged a cake that was absolutely the best cake I have ever had, Strawberry Chantilly Cream. Hints and Tips: The pool gets sunshine throughout the day, but in November was shaded by 1500hrs. The beach gets sunshine until sunset and is a volcanic beach accessed by lift with beds on the decking. For travel, Pompeii was a 45 minute drive, but driving is not for the feint hearted! Breakfast was great, scrambled eggs and fruits, pastries, meats, cheeses, fresh tea and coffee. Car parking is 15 euros a day and valet service. Staff are all absolutely lovely!
