The breathtaking views and sheer allure of Southern Italy’s Coast is unmatched. It has been home to some of history’s most prolific writers, artists, and celebrities and was once the stomping grounds for Roman Emperors and later Jesuit missionaries. It is safe to say the Southern Coast of Italy is a place of legend, awe, and wonder.

Near the Amalfi Coast rests the gateway city of Sorrento, wedged between mountains and the Mediterranean this city is as gorgeous as it is tranquil. Luxuriant groves create a garden of Eden like experience while the ocean breeze fills the air, I think God rested in Sorrento on the 7th day.

Beyond Sorrento’s natural beauty, the city holds rich history, festive culture, and modern stays in its arsenal. Among its many accommodations is the gem of the Grand Hotel Cocumella, a blend of history and timeless design, this is at the top of the list.

Grand Hotel Cocumella

The most classic and elegant hotel in the Sorrento Peninsula, the Grand Hotel Cocumella. The Grand Hotel Cocumella has stood the test of time and has established itself as one of the best hotels in perhaps the most peaceful and beautiful places on the planet. Every corner of the hotel holds a special story. The olympic pool and tennis area are perched between a citrus grove and are the perfect place to relax and unwind, think Russell Crowe in ‘A Good Year’. Each of the 48 suites create a uniquely discreet and genuine experience with contemporary hospitality prepared to exceed one’s needs. Enjoy dinner at Coku, a Mediterranean – Japanese fusion, while overlooking the Gulf of Naples and basking in the Italian sunset.
