The
Grand Hotel EXCELSIOR VITTORIA is notable not least for its
private gardens, which lead from the main square of Sorrento
to the Hotel entrance. An immediate feeling of peace and tranquillity
is experienced as the town centre is left behind and the visitor
discovers a place unlike any other hotel.
Five acres of luxuriant grounds full of beautiful Mediterranean
plants and flowers, the gardens are an important part of Sorrento,
containing a number of very old specimens and magnificent
blooms. Guests can enjoy a stroll and admire the plants, or
simply relax in the shade of the trees and take in the unparalleled
beauty of the Bay of Naples. And with no shortage of different
paths to follow, this is also the ideal place to take a jog
or do a few keep-fit exercises in the open air.
A
number of original Roman columns were found at the time when
the Hotel was being built, and these can still be seen in
the gardens of the EXCELSIOR VITTORIA. Other items of interest
uncovered are exhibited in Sorrento’s Museo Correale.
The
gardens of the EXCELSIOR VITTORIA gratify not only the senses
of sight and smell, but of taste as well. The citrus groves
still provide most of the oranges and lemons consumed daily
in the Hotel, and the old olive trees are currently the source
of the fine extra virgin olive oil used in the two Hotel restaurants.
Also
situated in the gardens of the EXCELSIOR VITTORIA is the swimming
pool where guests can relax and bathe in the perfect setting,
and enjoy good food sitting in the orange grove nearby.
Dining
at the EXCELSIOR VITTORIA is an exciting experience. The Chef
offers a selection of delicious local dishes and Haute Cuisine,
with the emphasis always on fresh food in season. A vegetarian
menu is also available.
The
two Hotel restaurants are very different from one another. The
main restaurant is the imposing "Vittoria" dining
room with its original decorated ceilings of the early 19th
century (the restaurant is air-conditioned). The "Bosquet"
is a more intimate dining room, at its best in spring and summer
when diners can enjoy the view from the beautiful terrace overlooking
the Bay of Naples.
Once
a week during summer, a candle-lit buffet dinner is served to
all guests on the panoramic "Vittoria Terrace". After
dinner, with a live orchestra playing romantic melodies and
the lights of Naples twinkling across the Bay, even the most
reluctant dancer will surely take a turn on the floor.
The
unique and elegant dining rooms and terraces of the EXCELSIOR
VITTORIA can also be booked for banquets, private functions
and Gala Dinners.
Meetings
and conferences held at the EXCELSIOR VITTORIA are permeated
immediately with a sense of quality and exclusiveness that is
especially rewarding for delegates.
The meeting rooms are all tastefully decorated with frescoes
and paintings so that delegates feel at ease while working.
The Hotel offers six different theatre style meeting rooms seating
from 30 to 250. Audiovisual equipment of every kind can be supplied
on request.
