Hotel Corallo, Sorrento

4.9 (16 reviews) · Comfort
Historic clifftop hotel with elegant rooms, an infinity pool, and a rooftop terrace

Overview

Hotel Corallo is perched on a cliff in Sant'Agnello just outside the center of Sorrento, overlooking the Gulf of Naples. Tasso Square, with its many restaurants and cafés, is a 5-minute drive or 25-minute walk. The hotel also offers shuttles to take guests to the center. This historic building dates back to the early 1900s, when it was opened as the Hotel Cappuccini, which served as a meeting place for artists and intellectuals like Nobel Prize-winning author Luigi Pirandello. Naples and Mount Vesuvius are an hour's drive away, and the ruins of Pompeii are 40.

Custom-made furnishings and majolica pottery add a feeling of historic elegance to the bright rooms. All except for Standard Rooms have partial or full sea views, and if you're looking to feel that sea breeze, book a Superior, Deluxe, or Executive Room or a Suite for balconies or terraces. Suites have large terraces with sun loungers, where you can book a candlelight dinner. Triples, Quadruples, and Two-Bedroom Apartments are ideal for larger parties of four or five. All bathrooms have rainfall showers and bidets, and the Suites come with a hydromassage bathtub overlooking the sea.

This hotel's standout feature is its view, which you can enjoy from your room or public areas like the infinity pool, breakfast area, or terrace. For this reason, it's quite popular as a location for weddings, which means you may be listening to a live band well into the night, so bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper.

Our stay at Hotel Corallo on the Amalfi Coast was also fantastic. The hotel had a beautiful view of the water and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Despite initially getting a room off the lobby without a balcony or terrace, we found our stay to be excellent. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the Amalfi Coast. Read more

Ver nice hotel with beautiful views. Food was very average. It is not easy to get from the hotel to the town of Sorrento - either a 30-min walk or a scheduled shuttle from the hotel. We would have preferred to be more centrally located in Sorrento since we were only there for two nights. Read more

Our stay at Hotel Corallo on the Amalfi Coast was a bit of a mixed experience. While the staff was attentive and the hotel was more polished and formal, our room was quite small and the towels looked old and thin. The breakfast selection was large and enjoyable, but we're not sure if we would return to this hotel in the future. Read more

Hotel is a bit far from city center but they do offer a shuttle.

Also, the AC won't work unless the key is inserted and the hallways and lobby were pretty hot. They did make sure to give us an additional key so we could keep the air on while we were away.
Be warned if you're staying here that this is a destination for weddings and we had a wedding party right outside our window with a band that played well into the night. If you have to have a quiet hotel, this may not be the place for you.
