An intimate boutique retreat in the hills above Sorrento, combining the personal atmosphere of a small hotel with the service and amenities you would expect from a five-star stay — exceptional food, a beautiful pool, panoramic views, an on-site cooking school and a complimentary shuttle into town.
Palazzo del Barone feels like a little piece of heaven to retreat to after a busy day exploring Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast — although, once you arrive, you may find you don't actually want to leave.
This is a small boutique property, but the experience feels much closer to that of a five-star hotel: beautifully kept gardens, a panoramic pool, attentive and highly personal service, excellent food and thoughtfully designed rooms overlooking either the Bay of Naples or the peaceful lemon garden. Breakfast is a particular highlight and goes well beyond the standard Italian hotel offering, with freshly prepared options such as avocado toast, French toast and pancakes alongside detox drinks, fruit and more traditional sweet and savoury choices.
The food is reason enough to spend an evening at the property rather than automatically heading back into Sorrento for dinner. And one of the real highlights is Chez Barone, the cooking school located directly on the grounds, where guests can learn to prepare traditional Sorrento and Neapolitan dishes before sitting down to enjoy what they have made. Recent guests consistently describe the cooking class as one of the highlights of their trip.
For us, Palazzo del Barone offers the best of both worlds: the peace and space of the Sorrento hills, with the centre still easily accessible thanks to the hotel's complimentary shuttle.
