| HOTEL AMENITIES & SERVICES: |
| Hotel Parco dei Principi offers its guests both the peace and tranquility of a totally relaxing holiday and also the entertaining and electrifying atmosphere of the Sorrentine resorts for those who prefer a more lively vacation. The garden is beautifully laid out and lovingly tended, which preserves its original Bourbon appearance. The large swimming pool is filled with sea water. But there is an alternative to the swimming pool: the private beach. The sandy shore or the rocks, the concrete solarium or a relaxing interlude at the seaside restaurant, with its seafood specialties, its continental cuisine or truly excellent pizzas. All you have to do is choose! |
