We stayed three nights in a small suite. We didn't have a bay view, but our rooms were huge and very well appointed, and the views of the gardens and the town center from our rooms were very pleasant. This is a very grand hotel and we had a lovely time. The location could not have been more perfect. I... more

This stately and historic old hotel looks fantastic when you check in. But if you don't get a room overlooking the bay, you'll be stuck in a closet-style room with lousy amenities. I got one of the lousy rooms. Small, ill-lighted, cramped bathroom. This is one of those old "grand luxe" hotels which are no longer up to modern standards,... more

Beautiful old hotel built into the hillside overlooking the water. Our balcony had an amazing view - turned into this year's Christmas card. Take a moment to enjoy a glass of wine on the hotel's outdoor patio at sunset - amazing. more

We had the privilege of spending six nights at the Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria in November 2007. The hotel is, in a word, Grand. Not the glitz and glass type of grand that chain hotels provide, but grand in terms of history, style and charm. The hotel was, I believe, built in the 1830’s. Much of it has been very... more

We absolutely loved this hotel! We booked two "double classic rooms with a sea view" and what a view it was! Both rooms and bathrooms were a nice size. The bathroom had a separate shower and tub. Each room had a small balcony and a nice terrace to sit and enjoy the view. We had a great view of Mt.... more

We made the Excelsior Vittoria our home during our 4 fabulous days in Sorrento, staying in the impressive 'Royal Suite' featuring a magnificent 185 sq.m private panoramic terrace with sweeping views over the Bay of Naples and the mysterious Mt. Vesuvius. Arriving at the hotel feels like you are entering a private villa and not really a typical hotel. The... more

I have somewhat mixed feelings about our stay in the EV, which was at the start of our honeymoon. There are a number of positives; the location is fantastic, with amazing views on one side, and Sorrento’s main square on the other (buffered by the hotel’s private park). The majority of the staff were very friendly and efficient - both... more

We were celebrating my husbands birthday so chose this location as a special treat and were not disappointed. We were placed at a table with a spectacular view most morings at breakfast, which was a great start to the day. Most of the staff were extremely helpful and friendly, however, I feel there were one or two on the front... more
