Pool Areas and Beach
The hotel’s main outdoor freshwater pool is tucked into a pleasant sunbathing terrace edged with greenery, giving a surprisingly tranquil feel for such a central Sorrento location. Sunbeds and parasols are provided, with complimentary pool towels available for guests. The pool is typically open between April and October, weather and occupancy permitting.
Upstairs, a compact rooftop plunge pool offers a refreshing dip after a morning of sightseeing, paired perfectly with a drink from the Sky Bar. It’s more of a cool-down spot than a lane-swimming pool, but ideal for enjoying elevated views over Sorrento’s rooftops.
While Sorrento is better known for its bathing platforms and marinas than sandy beaches, you’re within easy reach of La Marinella beach and the old-fashioned lidos along the coastline, best accessed in beach shoes due to pebbles and rocks.
