WHERE WE STAY IN SORRENTO -
The four-star Imperi al
Hotel Tramontano is a charming, seaside hotel located at the edge
of Sorrento directly on the Bay of Naples with a view of Mount
Vesuvius and the sparkling Mediterranean. Artists and great writers have long been at home in
the 16th century Tramontano that became a hotel in 1812 -
Milton, Byron, Shelley , Keats and Longfellow stayed here. The
recently restored building stands in a centuries-old park where
guests can inhale the fragrance of sweet-smelling
trees and walk down paths of oleander, hydrangea, acacia,
coconut palms, and geraniums. Elegant rooms have period furniture
with high ceilings and gilt-framed mirrors providing
a traditional look. Marble bathrooms are modern. Rooms offer
personal safes, minibar, satellite TV, hairdryer, bathrobe and
slippers. You can see more of the hotel on their
web-site:

Tramontano staff are warm and
gracious and go out of their way to make their guests' stay
enjoyable. Food here is excellent and there is always
plenty of choice on the menu. Some nights we have dinner
in the hotel in the formal dining room and on other nights we
sample the great restaurants of Sorrento with its marvelous
fresh seafood.
