Between the wars, Francesco Saverio Nitti, prime minister of
the Kingdom of Italy, often used to come down with his family
and soon became a good friend of the owners. This was a hotel
for the aristocracy, who flocked from all over Europe to enjoy
grand gala evenings on the terrace high above the sea, with
the Gulf of Naples stretched out before them. Requisitioned
during the war, like all the hotels in Sorrento, it was fixed up
again after the 1980 earthquake. The interiors have twentiethcentury lines and period furniture, but the buildings have lost none of their nineteenth-century charm.
