… terrace overlooking the famous Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius. Sorrento, only 2.5 kilometers away from Sant' Agnello, is a town of legends and gardens. In the 16th century, not far from the town square, the Grand Hotel Cocumella was built as a Jesuit monastery and finally became a hotel in 1822. It stands in park land that stretches down to the sea with breathtaking views of the Gulf of Naples and of Mount Vesuvius behind it. Special features of Grand Hotel Cocumella range from a private chapel used for concerts to a seaside solarium. Also Grand Hotel Cocumella owns a tall ship named "Vera", which has been built in 1880 and is now used for day cruises to Capri island and alongside the coast between Sorrento and Amalfi. Scintilla Restaurant romantically situated in the hotel gardens serves Mediterranean cuisine complimented by many fine vintages. In summer times, the Agrumeto Restaurant by the pool serves a relaxed barbecue lunch under the shade of orange and lemon trees. As generations of travellers have discovered, this peaceful spot is the perfect seaside escape.
