Hotel La Vue D'or

Hotel La Vue D'or details

Cupped into Sorrento’s cushiony-green hills, the Vue d’Or couldn’t be in a better spot. It looks over age-old olive groves and sapphire seas, across the Sorrentine Peninsula. Although it sits in a secluded setting, you’re not totally off the beaten track. Catch the courtesy shuttle bus down to Sorrento. Take a stroll up to the hilltop village of St Agata. Or visit local historical sites such as Pompeii and Herculaneum.

From the moment you step into the Vue d’Or though, you may well put a halt on any gallivanting. First to impress is the lobby. With friendly staff on standby, the lounge area is a sight for sore eyes with its warm-orange sofas and stone archways. And then there’s the restaurant which looks out over the Bay of Naples.

When you really want to relax, make a beeline for the oval-shaped pool. Sunk into a pretty terrace, it’s flanked by sunbeds and parasols. The real pièce de résistance is the view. There’s also a bar serving cocktails, fresh juices and other specialities, so you won’t have to move from the spot. And if the sunshine gets too hot, sneak off to your room for a siesta. Restful and refined, rooms have satellite television and air-conditioning. A modern hotel with bags of Italian charm, the family-run Vue d’Or is sure to impress.
