Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria

If you have been dreaming of a destination wedding, dream no more; we are here to make it a reality. Planning a wedding abroad can be a headache with all the extra logistics and other stresses it involves if you try to do it all on your own, but with us you can rest easy while we do all the heavy lifting. Italy is a fabulous choice for anyone looking to get married abroad, and the coastal town of Sorrento, to the south of Naples and Rome, is the perfect location in which to tie the knot.

Sorrento has been a popular choice for holiday goers since the 18th century, when it transformed into a glamourous escape for the Italian elite, but its dates back to Romans times as a destination for relaxation. There are any number of fascinating day trips to be had from well-placed Sorrento, including the ancient city of Pompeii, famously buried in ash by Mount Vesuvius, and the stunning beaches of the islands Ischia, Procida and Capri. Sorrento itself is perched atop cliffs overlooking the Bay of Naples, and is renowned for its typically Italian café-lined main square.

The Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria has been in the hospitality business for almost 200 years, making it a historical landmark in its own right. A stunning Italianate villa, this mid-sized hotel is the epitome of classic Italian glamour. Decorated in a traditional style, with hints of contemporary design throughout, you can choose between dining at a Michelin-starred restaurant with sea views, or in the more modern Orangerie restaurant, which looks out over the outdoor swimming pool and serves tapas in the evening.

As well as a swimming pool, the hotel has large private grounds, which make for the perfect place to sit and read, whether under an citrus or olive tree or a canopy of oleander. The hotel is set in five acres of grounds, in which the executive chef grows ingredients. There is also a children’s play area, complete with children’s pool, basketball area and football pitch, as well as a spa and wellness centre.

Rooms at the Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria are classically decorated in the traditional Italian style, with a choice of garden and sea views, and there are also separate apartments and a number of different suites. All are spacious, meticulously maintained and comfortable.
