Cocumella
Sorrento, ItalyIn the early 18th century, Fr. Nicola Giannettasio added one of the most beautiful churches on the Sorrento coastline, transforming it into an important cultural center. By 1777, the building had evolved into an inn and later a hotel, becoming a notable destination during the Grand Tour era.
Accommodations
The hotel boasts 46 elegantly furnished rooms and suites, each a testament to the seamless blend of classical Mediterranean style and contemporary comfort. In 1978, architect Nino del Papa meticulously restored the hotel, preserving unique features like vaulted ceilings, old majolica tiles, marble bathrooms, and inlaid Sorrento-style furniture.
