Hotel Metropole

If you like a relaxing sun holiday without the crowds, the pretty and quaint Hotel Metropole provides an idyllic little haven, close enough to the historical centre of Sorrento to enjoy its charms but far enough to ensure you can enjoy some real relaxation.

Based in a very peaceful and tranquil spot which provides exquisite panoramic views of the Gulf of Naples, this charming hotel is perfect for those who like to lounge by the pool, in the sun, read a book and generally take it easy. The swimming pool and it’s surrounding garden is equipped with sun loungers, tables and chairs so you can spend your day here, chilling out.

Rooms in the hotel are air-conditioned and decorated in a simple Mediterranean style and each comes with a balcony or a terrace for guests to enjoy their very own private slice of Italian sunshine. The hotels traditional restaurant offers classic delicious Italian dishes, which are served on the sunny terrace during lunch time. Ideal for enjoying the best of Italy, its fabulous food and it’s fabulous sunshine.

But if after a few days of relaxation and peace, you feel it’s time to explore the surrounding area, you are about a 20 minute walk to the bustling Corsa Italia which is Sorrento’s main street. Alternatively, a bus to the centre of the town stops in front of the hotel every 20 minutes. Cobblestoned streets give way to elegant piazzas where pretty little pavement cafés line the streets, calling out for you to sit down, relax and watch the world go by. You can elect to take a boat trip from the city’s port to the island of Capri, a very worthwhile trip to take and a trip to the spectacular ruins of Pompeii is recommended too.
