About Bellevue Syrene
Bellevue Syrene is a historic hotel on the cliffs above the Bay of Naples in Sorrento, set in an 18th-century villa that has welcomed guests since 1820. It has about 50 rooms and suites, many with balconies facing Mount Vesuvius.
What sets it apart is its setting and history, a short walk from Sorrento’s center, with a private beach below. The Michelin Guide gives it two Keys. It is open all year, which makes it a good base when many Amalfi Coast hotels close for winter. It suits couples, honeymooners and travelers who want classic style.
