Scene
Striking all-white look, garden and swimming pool, sea views
The Hotel Mediterraneo is housed in a 19th-century building that's been modernized for style-conscious travelers. The exterior and many of the interior spaces are done in a striking, all-white color palette. Due to the hotel's slightly hip feel and contemporary White Bar cocktail lounge (a local hotspot), the crowd here skews younger than at other Sorrento-area hotels. Guests gather in and around the hotel's large freshwater pool, with adjacent poolside bar and inviting sun terrace, lawn, trees, and garden. The hotel takes advantage of its sea-ready location, with panoramic Mediterranean views from the restaurant and bar and many of the rooms.
Location
Quiet Sant'Agnello location a short walk from the sea, near central Sorrento
The Mediterraneo Sorrento offers a quiet location in Sant'Agnello, a short stroll up the hillside from the Mediterranean Sea, with direct access to La Marinella beach. The center of Sorrento is about a 15-minute walk (1.25 miles) southwest of the hotel, and includes attractions such as the Piazza Tasso, Basilica di Sant'Antonino, Cathedral of Sorrento and hydrofoil ferries to Naples, Capri, and the Amalfi Coast. The Sant'Agnello train station is about a half-mile southeast of the hotel. Further afield, Pompei is about a 40-minute drive north, while Naples and Naples International Airport are about an hour's drive north of the hotel.
Rooms
Simple, minimalist rooms, some with balconies and sea views
Arrayed on six floors, the Hotel Mediterraneo Sorrento's 70 rooms are minimalist with a pleasant beach vibe -- simply decorated with light-blond wood and pale-blue or white walls. The white cotton bedding has beige or blue throw pillows and coverlets. Rooms are quiet and have no street noise, and some rooms have balconies with sea views. Bathrooms are basic but charming, decorated in blue and white tile, with walk-in showers and modern fixtures. Amenities include flat-screen TVs and mini-bars. Rooms do not have internet, but public spaces have free Wi-Fi.
Features
Restaurant with panoramic sea views, freshwater pool, direct beach access
The Mediterraneo is a relaxing haven, complete with private access to La Marinella, one of Sorrento's most famous beaches. On-site, there's a large, freshwater swimming pool with fountain, adjoining hydro-massage tub, and sun terrace -- the surrounding lawn has a pretty Sorrentine garden of citrus and palm trees, gazebos, and wicker seating. A poolside bar serves cocktails made in the hip White Bar, a minimalist, all-white space with sweeping sea views from the patio. Panoramic Mediterranean and Mt. Vesuvius views are also accessible from the fine-dining Vesuvio restaurant on the top floor -- with outdoor seating and fresh seafood. The free breakfast buffet has hot and cold options, including fresh fruit. A free local shuttle runs within one kilometer of the hotel. For a fee, guests may charter the hotel's 14-meter yacht for guided tours of the Mediterranean, Punta Campanella Marine Park, the Amalfi Coast, Capri, and Ischia.
