It's hard not to be impressed by the lavishness on display at the Antiche Mura Hotel -- even if it might go a little overboard at times. The setting overlooking the Valley of the Mills in the heart of Sorrento is superb, but don't expect sea views. The fragrant citrus garden surrounding the central pool is a wonderful retreat, and there's plenty of patio seating to relax with a drink. It's not cheap, but it is a real peaceful oasis in the center of this bustling town.

Guests rave about the helpfulness of the staff at the 58-room Best Western Hotel La Solara. Proof of the chain hotel’s happy customers is in the pictures of returning guests featured on a wall in the restaurant. The hotel is a 15-minute drive from the center of Sorrento, but a free shuttle is available. There is an inviting restaurant serving Campania cuisine and a breakfast buffet, a big outdoor pool with deck facing the Bay of Naples, and an outdoor garden with lemon trees and a foosball table. One alternative closer to the city center is Antiche Mura Hotel.

This large, grand hotel is located just outside Sorrento’s city center on a medium-size road that leads out of town. The property was built in the late 20th century, but has adopted the decor of earlier eras, which makes for a look of classic opulence from a bygone time. The lobby is outfitted in chandeliers and decorative tiles characteristic of late 19th-century Italian decor. The restaurants and bars take full advantage of a fantastic view offered by the hotel’s location perched on a cliff above the Bay of Naples. A network of five cascading pools (with sea views) completes the grandeur. The design aesthetic carries over to the guest rooms; some guests have noted that rooms are pleasant, though not quite as fantastic as the common areas.

The mid-range Carlton International Hotel is ideally situated in Sorrento -- just a one-minute walk from a large piazza -- and acts as a great base for exploring the larger Amalfi Coast and Bay of Naples regions. It's not a super kid-friendly hotel, but there are a good-sized outdoor pool and triple rooms available upon request. The 76 rooms aren't meant for lingering: Though clean and comfortable, they're dated and have tiny bathrooms. Additionally, many guests have complained of noise issues and fees for use of pool towels. On the plus side, rooms on higher levels offer excellent views of the bay, and all rates include a continental breakfast spread. Guests who'd like more romantic quarters should check out the stylish boutique, Maison La Minervetta, though it's located just outside the town.

Hotel Admiral is in a quiet, relatively secluded spot on the Bay of Naples in the Marina Grande. It's one of the few hotels in Sorrento to offer a genuine seaside location. While not as upscale and amenities-filled as some similar hotels, the hotel does have a waterfront pool, a restaurant and bar, and modern rooms, many with sea views. A public beach is a short stroll away, and Sorrento's main attractions –- the Piazza Tasso, Cathedral of Sorrento, and ferries to Capri and the Amalfi coast –- are within a 10-minute walk of the hotel.

The 12-room Maison La Minervetta is the kind of design-focused boutique that honeymoon dreams are made of. The family-owned four-pearl property is built on a rock overlooking the Bay of Naples; steep steps lead down to the beach and picturesque Marina Grande. Views of the deep blue water are center stage in every colorful room and from many of the public spaces, including a gorgeous terrace and Mediterranean garden. A quality breakfast is included with the price of the room, though there isn't an on-site restaurant or bar.

The 85-room Grand Hotel La Favorita combines gorgeous Renaissance beauty with contemporary comforts and decor. The property's central location in Sorrento makes it ideal for those wishing to explore the town on foot, take a boat tour to islands, or grab public transport. (With fee parking and high pedestrian traffic, the locale is less ideal for those with cars.) Lemon tree gardens are beautiful and relaxing, while the rooftop deck, complete with sparkling pool and bar, have a more lively and modern feel. Clientele tends to be mostly couples taking advantage of the romantic atmosphere. One downside is the lack of fitness facilities or spa services one would expect at a hotel of this category.

The 12-room Maison Tofani is an intimate four-pearl boutique in the historic center of Sorrento. There aren't any sea views from rooms, but surrounding cobblestone streets lead to nearby restaurants, shops, museums, and cathedrals. Past guests rave about excellent service and the free daily breakfast. There isn't an on-site restaurant though the wine cave offers tastings with cheese and charcuterie. Rooms are spotlessly clean and stylish; some have balconies and whirlpool tubs, though views can vary. If water views and access to the Mediterranean Sea are must haves, check out Maison La Minervetta but prepare for substantially higher prices.

Few if any hotels in Sorrento offer more spectacular views of the Gulf of Naples than the Belair, which is built right into the side of a cliff about a half-mile from the Cathedral of Sorrento and was recently recognized as a 5-star hotel. Hotel Belair is not especially upscale, but it does have the elegant feel of an Italian property of yesteryear. Rooms have all been renovated, but nearly all have balconies with gulf views. Surrounded by landscaped gardens, the outdoor infinity pool and sun terrace offer up more gulf views. The restaurant serves fairly typical Mediterranean and Sorrentine cuisine and offers outdoor dining. Guests can enjoy traditional dishes creatively revised by our Chef at the Calypso à la carte Restaurant, a unique location for its romantic terrace and refined interiors. To start the evening with an aperitivo with a view there is the wonderful Roof Bar Oblivion with cocktails and finger food selections. The offer of services is enriched by a small gym with a view of Vesuvius and a private promenade to access the beaches of the old fishing village of Marina Grande. Guests also have access to the spa facilities (hot tub, steam bath, massage services, and beauty treatments) at a nearby sister hotel.

The 64-room Minerva Hotel is a four-pearl property and one of the oldest hotels in Sorrento with incredible views of the Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius in the distance. Rooms are cheery and the majority have stunning water views, as do the rooftop pool and terraces. Though some of the furnishings and bathrooms look a bit tired, the hotel is very clean. Breakfast is included with the price of the room and there's an on-site fitness center. However, most guests get their exercise walking uphill from the city's center. For a chic boutique experience with the same views, compare prices at Maison La Minervetta.
