If you are going to Naples, head south to the beautiful towns of Sorrento and Positano perched on steep rocky hillsides with stunning views of the sea. Sorrento has been a favorite among travelers and Italians for more than a century. You can swim in the warm waters, explore the old town and take a boat to the mythical island of Capri.
An excellent hotel with sea views in Sorrento is the Hotel Parco dei Principi, whose interiors were designed by Gio Ponti, one of the most important Italian architects of the 20th century.

The hotel is set in a beautiful garden, and has a restaurant, swimming pool and spa. It’s a good base to start your exploration of the Amalfi Coast.
