What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Housed in a 19th-century former private residence, this intimate boutique hotel sits hidden away in a lush, leafy garden seemingly far from the summer crowds.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Lido di Marinella beach is a short stroll away, and Sorrento's town center is ten minutes on foot.
The rooms
Bedrooms have parquet floors and antiques, and higher categories open onto private balconies over the garden.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The curved swimming pool sits in the private park, lined with sun loungers beneath palms and bougainvillea.
At the table
Breakfast brings Sorrentine pastries and produce from the organic garden to a bright salon with arched doorways.
How it began
The property began as a late nineteenth-century patrician residence on a street named for American novelist Francis Marion Crawford.
