Bellevue Syrene

The Bellevue Syrene, a spectacular view

Overlooking the eternal and timeless beauty of the Gulf of Naples, with its indented coastline against an azure sea and Mount Vesuvius as a backdrop, the Bellevue Syrene has stood since 1820 in the most picturesque district of Sorrento. Originally a private residence, it was built in 1750 on the foundations of an ancient Roman villa. The location, the decoration, the comfort and the presence of history make this hotel an extraordinary place: the water lily ponds evoke the Roman era, and the walls are adorned with frescoes depicting its famous guests. Like a home, each of the hotel's 50 suites is unique, and all enjoy a spectacular view of the Gulf of Naples. The property's recent refurbishment has struck a balance between its glorious original character and contemporary comfort, highlighting the warm, refined atmosphere that prevails at the Bellevue Syrene. Among the house's exclusive services, you will find an outdoor swimming pool; access to a private rocky beach equipped with parasols; a spa with massages, a hammam and a fitness room; a buffet breakfast served on the terrace of the Villa Pompeiana; the Mediterranean cuisine of La Pergola restaurant; and the Club Lounge, offering complimentary aperitifs and drinks to all guests.

ETHICS

The Bellevue Syrene prioritises products from sustainable fisheries and, in particular, helps to protect tuna, a species threatened by human activity. The hotel also produces its own olive oil and spirits; and favours food sourced from organic, local and artisanal farms for its catering. The hotel minimises its waste as much as possible and currently achieves an 85% recycling rate. Finally, the Bellevue has installed a heat pump to optimise its energy consumption and reduce its carbon footprint.
