Grand Hotel la Pace is fairly new (opened in 2001) but has the classical, distinctly European flavor of the Continent's older grand hotels, with extravagant chandeliers and heavy drapes. It features an expansive marble lobby, a formal restaurant and two bars, a large fitness center, and spa. An expansive circular pool offers sweeping views of the sea, Mt. Vesuvius, and Naples. Rooms are pleasingly decorated, and many have balconies and sea views. Although the hotel has a wide array of amenities and an elegant feel, it's not in the league of genuine luxury hotels like the similarly rated Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria in Sorrento proper. A stay here is for those who want an upscale, amenities-filled experience in a quieter setting, not far from Sorrento and its attractions.

Hotel Corallo Sorrento is an historic property that's heavy on romance, with spectacular views spanning the Gulf of Naples extending to Mount Vesuvius, and a dreamy infinity pool. However, it lacks some amenities that can make a stay feel pampered. The three-and-a-half pearl hotel's 50 guest rooms are serene, with clean lines and tasteful, beach-inspired decor. Balconies that face gardens or the water are a major perk, and there's free Wi-Fi and breakfast. But the hotel skimps on minibars and bath products, skips coffeemakers and kettles, and has only a few high-end rooms. For more upscale rooms with the same prime location, check out Grand Hotel Ambasciatori, about a mile south down the coast.

In a building dating back to 1597, the historic Grand Hotel Cocumella is a luxury property with extensive grounds, a private beach, and peaceful atmosphere. It's along the coast in Sant'Agnello, a 20-minute walk from the main square in Sorrento. All of the 45 rooms are classically elegant and equipped with minibars, flat-screen TVs, and marble bathrooms. Some have terraces and separate sitting areas. Leisure facilities include a large pool, a spa offering treatments, a sauna, and hot tub, a gym, and tennis court. Excellent dining encompasses a seasonal Japanese eatery, Mediterranean spot, casual poolside restaurant, and breakfast space where free spreads are served. Pretty vegetable gardens and a massive sea-view terrace add allure, as does free Wi-Fi. For something a bit cheaper, consider the nearby Villa Garden Hotel, also with lovely sea views.

This mid-range property is set a 20-minute walk from Sorrento, offering a comfortable base for exploring the surrounding area. Pleasant grounds include a decent-sized pool, solarium, and gardens, plus all rates include a well-reviewed breakfast in the all-day restaurant. Rooms and common areas are a mix of dated and contemporary furnishings, but they're well-maintained. The 90 air-conditioned rooms have minibars, safes, and flat-screen TVs, while some add furnished balconies with lovely views of the sea or Mount Vesuvius. The quiet setting is particularly suited to couples, though Sant'Agnello itself doesn't offer much besides a convenient railway and some restaurants. It's worth comparing rates with Grand Hotel la Pace, which has a spa, fitness center with sauna, and pool bar, but no free breakfast.
