Grand Hotel Cesare Augusto

Grand Hotel Cesare Augusto is a four-star hotel at Via degli Aranci 108 in central Sorrento, in the Campania region of Italy. Via degli Aranci is a short walk from Piazza Tasso and Corso Italia, so the Circumvesuviana station, the old town and the many restaurants and shops of the centre are easily reached on foot, and the Marina Piccola ferry port, for hydrofoils to Capri, is a manageable walk or taxi ride downhill. The hotel is a mid-sized town hotel with a traditional Italian character, offering a rooftop terrace that overlooks the Gulf of Naples and a seasonal outdoor pool for guests who want to cool off after a day of sightseeing. Rooms are offered in a broad range of categories, from Basic and Classic rooms to Superior sea view rooms, Deluxe rooms, Junior Suites and Suites, which makes the property suitable for different budgets, while the sea view rooms and suites are the best choice for a memorable outlook. Amenities include two restaurants, a bar and lounge, room service, free Wi-Fi, 24-hour reception and a concierge desk. Dining covers Italian and Campanian dishes, such as seafood, gnocchi alla sorrentina and lemon-based desserts, and breakfast is served in a buffet. The staff are experienced in handling guests of many nationalities and can arrange excursions to Capri, Pompeii, Herculaneum and the Amalfi Coast, as well as taxi transfers to Naples. Rates start from about EUR 130 per night, one of the more affordable entry points among Sorrento's four-star hotels, and the rooftop terrace is a pleasant place for a drink in the evening. The hotel serves leisure travellers, couples and families alike, and its practical location and range of room types are its main strengths. As the pool is seasonal, visitors travelling outside summer should not expect to use it. The central position means some street noise is possible, particularly in the warm months, so light sleepers may prefer a higher floor or a room away from the road.
