Perched on the tufa cliffs above the Bay of Naples, on the ruins of a Roman villa once inhabited by the emperor Augustus's exiled nephew, Bellevue Syrene has been welcoming guests since 1820 — making it one of the oldest hotels in Sorrento. Now the only Relais & Châteaux property in the area, it is a place where classical elegance and contemporary design coexist in a way that feels less like a decorating scheme than an accumulation of two centuries of taste, art, and history.
