Overview
High in the winding hills above Sorrento, Annabelle Elegance Resort is a boutique hideaway with just 14 rooms, sweeping views over the Bay of Naples and the kind of personal service that comes with staying somewhere truly small and special. Think lemon‑scented gardens, an inviting pool, and a kitchen that showcases homegrown olives, citrus and seasonal vegetables straight from the grounds.

Map & location
Sorrento (Centre), Sorrento Area, Italy
Perched in the verdant hills above Sorrento, Annabelle Elegance Resort feels wonderfully secluded yet remains close to the action. Lemon trees, olive groves and bougainvillea frame wide‑angle views over the coastline, while Sorrento’s elegant Piazza Tasso, cobbled lanes and buzzing café terraces sit just a short drive away.
Head downhill to discover Marina Grande – a traditional fishing harbour where colourful boats bob below family‑run trattorias and classic bathing platforms. Back at the hotel, the quiet setting and generous gardens make it easy to escape the crowds between explorations of the Amalfi Coast, Capri and Pompeii.
- Piazza Tasso (Sorrento centre) 2.5km
- Marina Grande 3km
- Approx. transfer time from Naples International Airport (NAP) 1 hour 45 minutes
Facilities
Pool & outdoors
Days drift by around the outdoor freshwater pool, framed by sunbathing terraces, lawns and views across the surrounding hillsides. Sunbeds and parasols are provided, and complimentary pool towels mean you can travel light.
The main pool is usually open from early April to the end of October, weather and occupancy permitting. While the hotel isn’t beachfront, Sorrento’s bathing platforms and coastal lidos are easily reached by shuttle or taxi – perfect for a dip in the Bay of Naples followed by a seafood lunch at Marina Grande.
Spa, sports & wellness
Annabelle Elegance Resort is all about slow days and scenic spaces rather than a long list of activities, making it ideal for unwinding between Amalfi Coast adventures.
On site you’ll find:
• Outdoor freshwater pool with sunbathing area
• Tranquil gardens planted with citrus, olives, herbs and seasonal vegetables
• Intimate lounges and terraces for reading and aperitivi
For anything else, the concierge team can assist with restaurant reservations, local taxis and suggestions for exploring Sorrento, Capri, Pompeii and the wider Campania region. Facilities and services may change by season.
Activities
Annabelle Elegance Resort is designed as a calm escape, so structured activities are intentionally limited. Most guests spend their time:
• Relaxing by the pool or in the gardens
• Enjoying long breakfasts and leisurely aperitivi on the terrace
• Using the hotel as a restful base between day trips along the Amalfi Coast, Capri or Pompeii
For curated experiences such as private boat trips, wine tastings or guided excursions, the team will be happy to recommend trusted local providers and help you plan your days.

Food & drink
Food here leans into the region’s flavours, enhanced by the hotel’s own gardens. Expect citrus, herbs and olive oil picked on site, turned into refined local dishes and seasonal specials.
The main restaurant combines buffet and à la carte service, with freshly prepared local cuisine at breakfast, lunch and dinner and live show cooking at breakfast. A bar keeps classic Italian aperitivi flowing, while the garden snack bar (typically open 27 Mar–31 Oct, 09:00–23:00) offers light bites and drinks steps from the pool.
Smart casual dress may apply in the evenings. Opening hours, menus and reservation policies can vary by season and board basis; please check locally for the latest details.

Sorrento itself centres around elegant Piazza Tasso, backed by narrow historic lanes, churches and leafy parks. Down at Marina Grande, life feels wonderfully traditional with fishermen’s boats, pebble shores and old‑school bathing platforms – beach shoes are recommended for the pebbly sections.
