Start the day with breakfast overlooking the bay at the hotel’s art-filled restaurant, where buffet and à la carte options showcase Italian and local flavours. Later, linger over fresh seafood, homemade pasta and regional Campanian dishes, paired with a well-curated wine list.

The chic bar and pool bar keep you refreshed with Italian coffees, aperitivi and cocktails throughout the day. Expect a relaxed, smart-casual dress code in the evenings (long trousers are usually requested for gentlemen), and note that opening times, reservations and any supplements can vary by season and board.

The outdoor freshwater pool is the hotel’s focal point, with a generous sunbathing terrace, loungers and parasols all angled towards the Gulf of Naples. It’s open seasonally (typically mid-March to the end of October) and feels wonderfully tranquil, especially at sunset.

Pool towels are available with a refundable deposit, so you can travel lighter. When you’re ready for the sea, head down to La Marinella where classic Sorrento bathing platforms, sunbeds and pebble coves await (local charges may apply).

Unwind in the small but soothing spa area, which offers a sauna, steam room, Turkish bath and whirlpool, plus massages and beauty treatments for guests 18+. Facilities are usually open during the main season and operate on set hours; treatments and access may carry an extra charge.

Active guests can keep up their routine in the gym, equipped with cardio machines and free weights (generally open from morning to early evening, minimum age 16). Occasional evening entertainment, often live music, brings a gentle buzz to the bar on certain nights, with programmes varying by season and hotel occupancy.
