Sorrento   Walking through the historic center of Sorrento, on the seaside, it joins Piazza Vittoria, where the Hotel Bellevue Syrene is. The current Hotel Bellevue Syrene, which rises on the foundations of a Roman Villa of the 2nd century BC, was born in 1750 as a private villa. In 1820 the residence was transformed into a small hotel. The restorations done through the years did not damage the original style and, often, they have emphasized the antique eighteenth century frescos. All of which have brought the Bellevue Syrene to be included in Italy’s historic places.          The current structure – open all the year – is provided with 73 rooms, divided into a central body placed on a cliff overlooking the sea and a small house in the green pathway of the hotel.   The 19 Junior Suites are instead characterized for being disposed on two levels that divide the day zone from the drawing room of the night zone. The 66 standard rooms, divided in several floors linked by two lifts, can have either a sea view or a green view.   In the central body of the villa there is also a common welcoming meeting place. In the covered bar of “The Winter Garden” , a veranda facing the hotel pathway, the atmosphere is warmed up every evening with a piano bar. The intimate “Dalì Hall” is equipped with a fireplace.  The spacious restaurant “Lord Astor” on the sea peak offers a variety of rich choices of dishes, particularly typical dishes of the local traditional cuisine, as well as a great selection of wines.    The terraces of the hotel, facing the Gulf of Naples, offer breathless views. “The Pergola”, located at the entrance of the structure, functions as a snack bar and as a restaurant in the open during the day and as a piano bar during the summer. The “Villa Pompeiana” is made up of a spacious terrace with a colonnade and of two internal halls, built at the beginning of the century in perfect Pompeii style. These environments are particularly suitable for wedding ceremonies and galas, as well as intimate candle light dinners.
