The three-pearl, 71-room Europa Palace Grand Hotel is a historic hotel with stunning views over the Gulf of Naples and Mount Vesuvius. Located in the center of Sorrento close to dining, shopping, and the historic town center, the hotel's multiple terraces are ideal for taking in those views. Rooms are spacious and some offer amazing views of the sea from tiny balconies, but they are dated and some are housed in an uninspiring annex. The outdoor pool and pier offer still more spectacular views, and there's an on-site restaurant serving free breakfast. As an alternative, the Grand Hotel Royal next door has a more upscale atmosphere and is less expensive.
