Map & location


Meta di Sorrento, Sorrento Area, Italy

Meta di Sorrento is one of the Sorrentine Peninsula’s best-kept secrets: a sweeping crescent of dark, volcanic sand framed by dramatic cliffs and the shimmering Bay of Naples. Hotel Giosue A Mare sits right on this arc of beach, so you can wander from breakfast to sunbed in moments.

The low-key seafront promenade brings you to local cafés, gelaterias and casual trattorie within minutes, while nearby Piano di Sorrento and Vico Equense are easy to reach for a change of scene. When you want the full Sorrento buzz – think designer boutiques, historic churches and lively piazzas – simply jump on the hotel’s complimentary shuttle into the resort centre. From Sorrento, ferries put Capri, Naples and the Amalfi Coast within day-trip reach.
