The interior designer here had a
serious fit of the blues. From the striking dark-blue-and-white floor tiles, to the pale-blue
walls and bedcovers, this is the predominant colour throughout. Contemporary artwork
and black-and-white historic photos of Sorrento complete the decor theme. The rooms are
spacious and there is a rooftop solarium for catching the rays.

A splendid choice - but
not for minimalists - La Tonnarella is a dazzling canvas of blue-and-yellow majolica tiles,
antiques, chandeliers and statues. Rooms, most of which have their own balcony or small
terrace, continue the sumptuous classical theme with traditional furniture and discreet
mod cons. The hotel also has its own private beach, accessible by lift, and a highly re-
garded terrace restaurant.

laundry. The rooms are contemporarily furnished and spacious.
