"This sea-facing landmark has, remarkably, been in the hands of the founding Fiorentino family since 1834 and seen a cavalcade of famous guests rest their heads on its high-thread-count pillows: Richard Wagner, Marilyn Monroe, Luciano Pavarotti, and Sophia Loren, to name a few"
Top choice
"A hotel for over 170 years, the grand old dame of Sorrento oozes belle-epoque elegance. Huge potted palms adorn gilded public rooms awash with sunlight and antique furniture."
