With their unfailing eye for beauty, the Romans were among the first to appreciate the temperate climate and the spectacular scenery of Surrentum, perched on the cliffs of the Sorrento Peninsula in an area that also lies along the famous coast road known as the "Amalfitana".Sorrento, sheltered by the surrounding hills, is a famous and splendid holiday resort. A plateau rising steeply above the deep blue Mediterranean sea is on one of the most picturesque points of the Campanian coast - and the location of Sorrento. Because of its mild climate and its enchanting position, Sorrento has been a favorite resort since the times of the Roman empire, and it became an exclusive tourist resort from the 18th century. Its position high above the sea and the consequent absence of a true sea promenade create its extremely original nature.
The first-class Grand Hotel Aminta is located at an outstanding position with enchanting views of the the Gulf of Naples surrounded by lemon and olive groves which are typical of the region. The Grand Hotel Aminta is 3km from the centre of Sorrento and offers a courtesy bus service. The pool area is rather special, it is kept cool by continuous breeze from the sea and it is quiet and away from the traffic of Sorrento. It has safe children's area, and sun terraces, which are the right place to relax with a drink or have a snack taken at the pool bar, which most nights offers live music and occasional dancing. The air-conditioned dining room is elegant, here excellent and varied menus are served. The Grand Hotel Aminta was built in 1961 and renovated in 2000.
