Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria

The property enjoys one of the best locations in Sorrento. You enter through meticulously maintained spectacular grounds that make every entry and departure a pleasure. The staff is exceptional and the hotel is beautiful and fascinating all at once. Dinner at Terraza Bosquet is a truly unforgettable experience. In short, a stay in the Hotel Vittoria is itself a memorable vacation.

Wow! As soon as you turn into the secure driveway from the hustle and bustle of Sorrento main drag, you enter absolute serenity. The staff are so polite and welcoming. This is a proper 5* hotel…. Traditional, comfortable and discrete. Can’t wait to go back!

Amazing location, really 5 stars and a magnificent customer service/concierge team. We got upgraded to a suite and the room was incredibly nice, comfortable and a breathtaking view.

We’ve stayed at beautiful hotels around the world, but the Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria in Sorrento is truly in a class of its own. From the moment you walk through the gates, the property feels like a private, elegant estate perched above the sea — lush gardens, citrus trees, manicured pathways, and a timeless sense of charm. Our room overlooked the Bay of Naples, and waking up to those views was unforgettable. The pool area is equally stunning — peaceful, spacious, and surrounded by greenery, with service that’s attentive without ever feeling intrusive. The breakfast buffet was another highlight. Fresh pastries, fruit, Italian specialties, and made-to-order options, all enjoyed on a terrace with sweeping views… the perfect start to each day. Evenings at the hotel feel like a scene from a classic Italian film. There’s live music drifting through the gardens, guests settling in with an aperitivo, and a warm, elegant energy that makes you want to linger. And the sunsets — especially from the rooftop — are something we’ll never forget. Watching the sky fade into soft pinks over the marina with a glass of wine in hand was truly magical. If you’re visiting Sorrento and want an experience that’s luxurious, romantic, and authentically Italian, this is the place. We can’t wait to return.

The building is the former summer palace of the queen of Sweden. The rooms are large, very well appointed, comfortable with beautiful views of the Ligurian Sea and Naples. Apart for the beauty of the hotel, the service is spectacular. We would stay here again on our next visit to Sorrento.
