History
The Romans, with their unfailing eye for beauty, were among the first to appreciate the spectacular scenery and temperate climate 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".One of Italy’s leading Grand Hotels, the EXCELSIOR VITTORIA is located in Sorrento, the place where it is said that the Roman Emperor Augustus had a beautiful villa with magnificent views of Mount Vesuvius and the Bay of Naples.The Hotel dates back to 1834, a time when Italy was not yet a unified country. From the day it opened the establishment has been owned and run by the Fiorentino family, one of the few founding hotelier families remaining in Italy today.

Rooms, N.98
The EXCELSIOR VITTORIA is a historic Grand Hotel made up of three different buildings built between 1834 and 1880. Thanks to this unique location, the hotel offers a variety of different room types.
Nearly all the rooms have a veranda or terrace overlooking either the Gulf of Naples or the orange orchard surrounding the hotel.
All rooms are ensuite with air-conditioning, satellite TV, minibar, safety deposit box and direct dial telephone, free internet connection (free Wi-Fi).
The suites at Excelsior Vittoria are the ultimate in luxury and comfort: Margaret, Caruso, Aurora, Antique, Royal,  Pompei, Imperial, Aranci and Vittoria to name but a few of the most famous ones. Each has its own history, often made by the passing of the many celebrities who have stayed here in the romatic backdrop of the Sorrento peninsula. Some have sweeping terraces overlooking the sea, whilst others offer the tranquillity of the large garden and the fragrances gently wafting up from its plants.

Restaurants
The cuisine at Vittoria is an expert blend of seasonal flavours and fragrances. The many tempting dishes, ranging from local Campania specialities to haute cuisine prepared by the skilled hands of the multiple award-winning chef Vincenzo Galano, can be relished in either the monumental "Vittoria" dining room where you can enjoy a delightful lunch under the vaults of a majestic frescoed ceiling, or in the summer, on the open-air "Bosquet" terrace, overlooking the Gulf where you can glimpse the mauve shades of Vesuvius through the baluster.
Its exquisite, distinctive rooms and terraces make EXCELSIOR VITTORIA a superior choice for successful banquets and gala dinners.

Sorrento: a city of infinite charm
Romantic Sorrento, the elan vitale of the peninsula it takes its name from, stands on the grey tufa rock on the southern side of the Gulf of Naples, enjoying a splendid, panoramic location.
Birthplace of the poet Torquato Tasso born there in 1544 and intextricably linked to Homer's legendary sirens who, thwarted by Odysseus, turned into the Li Galli rocks, over the years Sorrento has been ruled by the Byzantine, Normans and Aragonese, and invaded by the Turks before it went through a period of cultural, economic and social regeneration in the 18th and 19th centuries, becoming also a de rigeur stop in the Grand Tour.
