If you're seeking an elegant escape with an abundance of Italian chic, the Guardati is the excellent getaway. Housed in a beautiful old palace in the heart of timeless Sorrento, it's run by the welcoming Cuomo family and is as exquisite as they come. We're talking marble floors and staircases. Striking antique furnishings. And radiant Murano glass chandeliers. What's more, it's just steps away from the town's main square, Piazza Tasso. Once you step into the graceful lobby with its polished floors and leather armchairs though, you'll probably decide to make the most of staying here, too. One of the best places to unwind is on the spacious roof terrace. With a pretty tiled patio, you can recline back on one of the cushioned sun loungers under a fluttering parasol and soak up the sights. And what a view you get from here – not only over the rooftops of Sorrento, but of the twinkling Gulf of Naples and the mighty Mount Vesuvius, too. There's also a smart buffet breakfast room on the ground floor. On the first floor there is a pretty sheltered patio area with tables and chairs where you can chill out. And you'll be just as impressed with your spacious room. Not only have they got sleek parquet floors, hand-painted Florentine furniture and marble bathrooms, but they also benefit from mod cons like plasma televisions. You can also upgrade to a deluxe room with a French balcony. A stunningly converted palazzo – the Guardati is a true Italian gem.
