Italian riviera hotels, Sorrento, Amalfi coast, Italy

Hotel Corallo, Sant'Agnello

This Sant'Agnello hotel sits atop a beautiful headland, just minutes from the popular tourist resort of Sorrento. From the hotel's stunning, red-tiled terrace, there is an impressive view of Sant'Agnello harbour, and the modest beach of Marinella is very close by.

The hotel has 55 immaculately presented rooms, each with en-suite bathroom, satellite TV, minibar, air conditioning and tea and coffee-making facilities; tasty fresh fruit and Italian biscuits are provided to greet you on your arrival. The staff at this Sant'Agnello hotel are on hand 24 hours a day to change currency, help you with your luggage, or assist in the arranging of sightseeing excursions. The Hotel Carollo is extremely welcoming of children, and offers high-chairs, children's menus and a babysitting service. Business guests are also well provided for: a special business support service with secretarial services and even computer rental means all possible needs are met.

Traditional shows of tarantella dancing can be seen in Sant'Agnello itself, and Sorrento is only a few minutes walk away. Sorrento has several lovely churches, and a splendid local museum which houses a little-known Reubens painting. The area is famous for its distinctive lemon aperitif, and no trip to Sorrento is complete without a leisurely dinner in the lively Piazza Tasso, washed down with a glass of tangy limoncello. When Sorrento's charms have been exhausted, the historic volcano of Vesuvius, and the city of Pompeii (destroyed by the eruption of 79AD), are nearby. Naples (Napoli) the capital of this beautiful Campania region, is also tantalisingly close.
