Sensimar Nastro Azzurro, Sorrento

Italy

The Nastro Azzurro is set high above Sorrento, with views over the bays of Naples and Salerno. Getting out and about is easy, too, thanks to a free shuttle bus that whisks you to the town centre in 15 minutes. The hotel has bagged a TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Award – and it’s easy to see why people rate it so highly. As well as a smart pool scene, there’s a couple of sleek restaurants and a rooftop cocktail bar.
