Palazzo Marziale
Sorrento, Italy
Palazzo Marziale turns a fifteenth-century family residence into a small hotel beside San Francesco Square. Its Catalan-Durazzo architecture, antiques and contemporary details create a more domestic setting than Sorrento’s larger coastal hotels. The cloister and Villa Comunale are close by, making this a good base for walking through the historic centre. Choose it for architecture and location, and look closely at individual room photographs: the rooms and suites differ in layout, decoration and outlook.
