Palazzo Marziale – A Favorite for Families in Sorrento

The hotel is set in a restored 15th-century building with 14 individually themed rooms, each named rather than numbered. All rooms include parquet floors, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, and a minibar. Guests staying in the Junior Suite or rooms with a view can see the Bay of Naples across the Cloister of St. Francis.

The hotel offers 2 on-site restaurants serving local cuisine and a daily breakfast buffet with homemade pastries, freshly baked bread, and a changing selection of cakes such as orange, carrot, and almond cake. A complimentary happy hour with prosecco is served on the outdoor terrace surrounded by lemon trees and wisteria. The terrace also functions as a bar where guests can order wine and cocktails in the evening.

Palazzo Marziale is located opposite the Cloister of St. Francis, 300 metres from Piazza Tasso, the main square of Sorrento. The beach area is within a 5-minute walk, and the ferry pier for excursions to Capri and the Amalfi Coast is a 10-minute walk away. A public elevator near the hotel provides direct access down to the port and beach clubs.

The hotel provides valet parking at €23 per night, a 24-hour front desk, concierge service, luggage storage, and tour desk. Airport shuttle and car hire can be arranged upon request, and a lift is available for guests with limited mobility. Additional amenities include meeting and banquet facilities, laundry and dry cleaning, babysitting and child services, and fax/photocopying.

The hotel caters to celebrations such as weddings and honeymoons, with staff coordinating ceremonies and special touches like turn-down service with a weather report and cookie. Complimentary cultural experiences include a walking tour or a class about local culture, provided by the hotel. The aristocratic family that owns the property has resided here for centuries, and guests can explore the historical building's multiple sitting rooms and salons.
