Location
Perched in the verdant hills above Sorrento, Annabelle Elegance Resort feels wonderfully secluded yet remains close to the action. Lemon trees, olive groves and bougainvillea frame wide‑angle views over the coastline, while Sorrento’s elegant Piazza Tasso, cobbled lanes and buzzing café terraces sit just a short drive away.
Head downhill to discover Marina Grande – a traditional fishing harbour where colourful boats bob below family‑run trattorias and classic bathing platforms. Back at the hotel, the quiet setting and generous gardens make it easy to escape the crowds between explorations of the Amalfi Coast, Capri and Pompeii.

Restaurants and Bars
Food here leans into the region’s flavours, enhanced by the hotel’s own gardens. Expect citrus, herbs and olive oil picked on site, turned into refined local dishes and seasonal specials.
The main restaurant combines buffet and à la carte service, with freshly prepared local cuisine at breakfast, lunch and dinner and live show cooking at breakfast. A bar keeps classic Italian aperitivi flowing, while the garden snack bar (typically open 27 Mar–31 Oct, 09:00–23:00) offers light bites and drinks steps from the pool.
Smart casual dress may apply in the evenings. Opening hours, menus and reservation policies can vary by season and board basis; please check locally for the latest details.
Pool Areas and Beach
Days drift by around the outdoor freshwater pool, framed by sunbathing terraces, lawns and views across the surrounding hillsides. Sunbeds and parasols are provided, and complimentary pool towels mean you can travel light.
The main pool is usually open from early April to the end of October, weather and occupancy permitting. While the hotel isn’t beachfront, Sorrento’s bathing platforms and coastal lidos are easily reached by shuttle or taxi – perfect for a dip in the Bay of Naples followed by a seafood lunch at Marina Grande.
