Perched on a cliff’s edge in the refined town of Sant’Agnello, Hotel Mediterraneo Sorrento greets the Bay of Naples with quiet confidence. A family-owned five-star retreat, it offers more than just views; it delivers a masterclass in Mediterranean elegance, with a cosmopolitan pulse and a deep respect for its roots.

To understand Atelier Inès is to understand where it lives. Rione Sanità is built atop the ancient catacombs of San Gennaro and San Gaudioso, forming a sacred foundation, with spaces of quiet spirituality beneath the dizzying life above.

Set high above the Bay of San Montano, the five-star San Montano Resort & Spa is one of Ischia’s most treasured hideaways. Tucked into the cliffs of Lacco Ameno, this five-star boutique resort enjoys a vantage point that offers cinematic views over Procida, the Bay of Naples and the pastel-coloured harbour below. What sets this property apart is not only its location but its deep connection to the island’s thermal heritage and its sense of quiet, unfussy sophistication.
