Hotel designed by Gio Ponti 💙 Must-see if you appreciate design, architecture, or the sea. The hotel isn’t just accommodation—it’s a preserved masterpiece, often described as a “living museum” of mid-century modern design. Just a few steps from Sorrento’s centre!

We had a wonderful time at Parco dei Principi with our family of four. We stayed in the apartment cedro which was perfect for us. The grounds are beautiful, the pool is great. The staff is attentive and highly responsive. We had many meals on property at the beach restaurant, main restaurant and the pool area and everything was really delicious— the hotel is about 25 minutes walk from the heart of Sorrento which in some ways is really nice to walk off heavy meals and enjoy peace and quiet. No complaints!

beach only rooms bad not clean with ants

Great hotel, great service.

This is an amazing hotel and a cool alternative option to the rest of the accommodation in the area. Design classic and you can tell. Staff were really friendly, always helpful and make fantastic dirty vodka martini at night. The room with a sea view was beautiful with the bed being perfect size and super comfortable. I highly recommend.

The staff is incredibly rude. For starters, they don’t provide irons, and when I called to request one, they said they couldn’t give me one because it might damage their property—even though they already had my card on file for any incidentals. The shuttle service is a complete joke. They don’t give you any information about it at check-in, and it turns out you need a voucher to use it, which they never mentioned. On top of that, my room key stopped working on the last day, and they tried to charge me an extra €250—even though I was told I could check out late at no extra cost. The air conditioning barely works; it’s basically just a weak fan. Save yourself the stress and your money. This place is not worth it.

We had an excellent stay and I would recommend the hotel to anyone who wants to relax by the water. I am glad that we selected the hotel because the pool and beach access were excellent and the views were amazing. The gardens on the grounds are lovely and unexpected. The staff was helpful. The breakfast was very good. My only complaint is that the property is a bit run down. The rooms definitely need updating. The furniture looks like it is cheap and from Ikea. The rooms don't feel 5 star, but it was clean and we got daily cleaning and turndown service. The carpets in the hallway need to be replaced and everything needs a refresh. The hotel is about a 15 minute walk from the heart of Sorrento and limited shuttle service is available. If a nice pool and really convenient beach access that you don't pay extra for are important to you, I'd definitely recommend the hotel.

Exceptional service and staff. Gorgeous view. Our stay was perfection. Will definitely return. 10/10 recommend!

The staff, food, views were all amazing. This was the best stay we had in Italy. We loved the breakfast and dinner. We will be back next year.

Special property

Views and area amazing. Staff right on point, friendly, respectful, and helpful. Toom great. Expensive but worth it. One negative is that the shower/tub is very narrow. Felt like you could fall every time you stepped in.

We enjoyed a brilliant stay, with only two things that let the hotel down. The staff were very helpful, the rooms clean and well presented and the location is just stunning. However, we were greeted upon arrival and shown to our room. At this point there was a single bottle of water pointed out as being complimentary and the only water that would be complimentary for the entire week. Whilst I understand that there are limits on everything, we did think that a five-star hotel should provide a bottle of water each day, especially through the summer months. Secondly there is a shuttle service that operates between the hotel and town centre. Unfortunately there is only one run (departing at 6.30pm) that will get you into town before 8pm and the shuttle is a 7-seat vehicle. For a hotel with nearly 100 rooms this simply isn’t enough capacity and should be increased by either increasing the number of departures or the vehicle capacity (or both!). Both of these points are minor but were disappointing and we expected better from them for a five-star hotel. A couple of minor tweaks and this really would compete with some of the super expensive five-star hotels in the town.

This hotel was fabulous! Stayed here with our 2 adult children on holiday from the U.S. It was a perfect place to relax!

Beautiful hotel with stunning view

Wonderful location, staff, and amenities. The views are spectacular and the grounds are gorgeous. All of the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. There were no communication issues and everyone was multilingual. We would certainly stay again. The food was excellent with significant portions. We also had options to dine by the water or above overlooking the water and the boats. The sunset at dinner was magnificent. I would suggest that the hotel give guests a way to express their appreciation via tips on the actual food and beverage bills. I tried to add that on to several bills only to later learn they could not do that. It made tipping the staff for their extraordinary service difficult as I don’t always have cash on hand while on vacation.

Amazing hotel and the most beautiful setting.

Everything was excellent, the only small constructive criticism was the standard of breakfast eg just ordering a simple omelette or pancakes was an additional cost. For a five star hotel would have expected this as a standard option.

Not good

Our stay at Parco dei Principi was absolutely incredible. The customer service was truly exceptional—every morning we were greeted by name, which made the experience feel so personal and warm. On our first night, we arrived late due to a traffic incident, and the staff went above and beyond by offering food and drinks from the bar even after the kitchen had closed. They also arranged all our taxi needs and, impressively, noticed us arriving via the security cameras and immediately came out with a cart to help with our luggage. Every detail of our stay exceeded our expectations. I would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Sorrento.

We enjoyed every minute of our day at this beautiful property on the water, five star all the way
