Hotel Bellevue Syrene**** - Sorrento

Where the historic center of Sorrento on the seaside joins the Piazza Vittoria is where the Hotel Bellevue Syrene Sorrento located. This very prestigious hotel of Sorrento rises on the foundations of a Roman Villa of the 2nd century BC. It became a private villa in 1750 and has been newly renovated.
The restorations done through the years did not damage the original style and the antique eighteenth century frescos, all  of which have brought the Bellevue Syrene to be included in Italy’s historic places. The current structure – open year around – is equipped with 73 rooms, subdivided in a central body located on the sea peak and a small house in the green part of the hotel.

 All of the rooms have a small balcony, for the most part with sea view, carefully selected furniture which is sober and elegant, equipped with every modern comfort:  satellite television, a fridge – bar and a safe, air-conditioning and hairdryer. The 5 suites available for the guests are different from each other and are equipped with a big terrace with a view on the Gulf of Naples. The terraces of the Hotel Bellevue Syrene Sorrento, facing the Gulf of Naples, offer breathless views. 

The spacious restaurant “Lord Astor” on the sea peak (open for breakfast and dinner), offers a variety of rich choices of dishes, particularly typical dishes of the local traditional cuisine, as well as a great selection of wines. 

The terraces of the hotel, facing the Gulf of Naples, offer breathless views.  “The Pergola”, located at the entrance of the structure, functions as a snack bar and as a restaurant in the open during the day and as a piano bar during the summer.  The “Villa Pompeiana”  is made up of a spacious terrace with a colonnade and of two internal halls, built at the beginning of the century in perfect Pompeii style.  These environments are particularly suitable for wedding ceremonies and galas, as well as intimate candle light dinners.

Writers and artists, politicians and poets loved it already in the nineteenth century.  But more than anyone France’s Empress, Eugenia, Napoleon the 3rd’s wife, and Luis of Bavaria.
