What is the Grand Hotel Cocumella?

Originally a residence for Jesuit priests as early as 1637, this historic retreat is still a haven on the Sorrento peninsula, complete with meditative gardens, citrus groves for quiet afternoon strolls and a serene spa. Each of the 46 Mediterranean-style guest rooms is unique. Some have garden vistas, others boast views of the Amalfi Coast. The Historical Suite has hosted famous travelers like Mary Shelley and Sigmund Freud, who stayed at the hotel on their Grand Tour of Europe. Architectural details like marble bathrooms and painted ceilings elevate the traditional, understated interiors to modern, five-star standards.
