The Best Luxury Hotels
Grand Hotel Parker's (tel. 081-7612474): This is Naples's most romantic luxury hotel, competing with the Vesuvio for the title of best hotel in town. Housed in a magnificent Liberty-style building, it offers superb service, classy accommodations, and one of the best restaurants in the country.
Grand Hotel Vesuvio (tel. 081-7640044): This is generally considered the best hotel in Naples, offering palatial accommodations and exquisite service. You will be pampered the moment you step through the doors. The turndown service includes fine small-batch signature chocolates, the linens are royalty class, and the sumptuous breakfast is served in the most panoramic room you can imagine, with views over the picturesque Castel dell'Ovo. The gourmet roof-restaurant is another plus. Every detail here is truly first-class.
Hotel San Pietro Positano (tel. 800-7352478): A member of the Relais & Châteaux group, this elegant hotel tops our list of favorite places to stay in the whole of Italy. You'll understand why as soon as you step inside. The kind and attentive service, the tastefully colorful furnishing details, the romantic views from their terraces -- we love everything about this place.
Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria (tel. 081-8071044): This gorgeous hotel is the best in Sorrento, housed in what once was a palatial residence overlooking the sea. The antiques in the guest rooms, the picturesque terraces, and the service make this an ideal hotel, right in the center of town (with its own elevator down to a private beach).
Hotel Santa Caterina (tel. 089-871012): Amalfi's most luxurious hotel, on a cliff just out of town, this is where you'll want to come to be pampered away from the crowds -- and to enjoy the hotel's beautiful private beach, swimming pool, and lush gardens.
Hotel Le Sirenuse (tel. 089-875066): Competing for the title of best hotel in Positano with the San Pietro above, this gorgeous hotel is housed in a beautiful 18th-century villa overlooking the sea. It offers palatial accommodations and fine service.
Grand Hotel Quisisana (tel. 081-8370788): The glitziest resort on Capri, this luxury hotel provides its guests with splendid accommodations and exquisite service. The hotel's bar and restaurant are popular spots for visiting socialites, so it's worth stopping by just to enjoy the atmosphere.
Capri Palace (tel. 081-9780111): This is the best hotel on Capri, which naturally means elegance, breathtaking views, and deluxe furnishings in rooms decorated with artwork and antiques. The service is impeccable.
Mezzatorre Resort & Spa (tel. 081-986111): Taking its name from the 15th-century watchtower that houses part of the hotel, the Mezzatorre is the most splendid accommodation in Ischia. On its own secluded promontory off the exclusive town of Lacco Ameno and not far from Forio, it pampers its guests in perfect elegance and style. The views from the park and the swimming pool are breathtaking.
