This is where the Titans fought the gods, where Mount Athos soars into the sky, and where the Virgin Mary, accompanied by John the Evangelist, came and blessed the mainisland’s shores, leading to the many monasteries scattered along its hillsides.

There is an eternal, timeless beauty to the Gulf of Naples, with its jagged coast and deep-blue sea, and the Vesuvius rising in the background. In the most picturesque corner of Sorrento, the Bellevue Syrene was opened in 1820, having been originally designed in 1750 as a private residence built on the foundations of a Roman villa. The location, decor, comfort and sense of history at this hotel make it an extraordinary place. The fishponds full of water lilies evoke the Roman times, while frescos painted as a tribute to famous guests adorn the walls.

The Cliff at Cap

On the southern Menorcan coast, high on a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean, Cap Menorca is surrounded by a 75-acre pine forest that has been transformed into grounds of lush tropical vegetation by more than 15,000 planted trees, shrubs, and flowers. Encircled by dry-stone walls, like the traditional Menorcan country homes called fincas, the suites are tucked away in gardens, each with a private swimming pool sheltered by century-old olive trees. The décor is elegant and simple: whitewashed walls, mahogany woodwork, verdigris tile in the bathrooms. A stay at Cap Menorca is made all the more memorable by the many experiences to choose from. The cuisine features Mediterranean flavors and is crafted with local, in-season ingredients. Meals are served in the hotel restaurant, but can be enjoyed beside your swimming pool for a tête-à-tête dinner. The spa offers relaxing massages either outside, where you can gaze upon the blue waters of the Mediterranean or in your suite. Yoga classes, as well, can be enjoyed outdoors. If you prefer to contemplate the coast from the open sea, set off on a sun-drenched cruise aboard one of the hotel yachts to discover secret coves and beaches of fine, soft sand.

The guest rooms open onto private gardens with vistas of palm trees swaying in the breeze against an ocean backdrop. Cape Weligama’s residences and villas sit atop a promontory overlooking the Indian Ocean and enjoy stunning views of idyllic landscapes on all sides. At the seafront, the crescent-shaped infinity pool seems to float above the waves; alongside stone pathways leading to secluded coves where turtles flap about in the crystal-clear shallows. The terracotta-tiled rooftops of the accommodations, designed by renowned architect Lek Bunnag, create the illusion of a traditional Sri Lankan village with generously sized, stylishly furnished interiors.

Simply adorned, each room opens onto a terrace facing the sea where the fascinating silhouettes of neighbouring Stromboli and Panarea take shape. The chef leads guests on a sun-filled gastronomic journey, infused with the salty and sweet flavours of the produce grown in the property's rich volcanic soil. Following the grand monsù tradition befitting this Sicilian land of aristocracy, he proposes pairings with the Malvasia wine produced in the family vineyard.
