Palazzo Marizale by Joanna Monkhouse

The luxury hotel Palazzo Marizale, situated amidst the lavish backdrops of Sorrento, has been in the owner’s family for generations. The friendly Sorrentine couple who welcome guests into the palazzo in the centre of the town are only to pleased to arrange anything they might wish for.

The facilities

Each of the five rooms is known by the colour of the furnishings and the coordinating accents in the marble bathrooms - white, yellow, blue, green and red. White is the largest with a sauna/Jacuzzi unit in the bathroom. The shady terrace is a perfect place to enjoy a cool drink or afternoon tea. A lavish breakfast - with all ‘extras’ included - is served in a pretty room on round tables with slip-covered chairs. A personal touch is evident in the elegant public rooms - family photos, antiques and dramatic yet simple flower arrangements - staying at the luxury Palazzo Marizale is more intimate than staying at a hotel. Space does not permit a pool in Sorrento but guests are invited to use the family’s private villa on the coast with a swimming pool, exclusively for the use of Palazzo Marizale’s guests. Parties and weddings can be held in the extensive gardens on the roof. The rooms

Elegant rooms with antique furnishings and fine art, come complete with a full list of amenities: air conditioner, minibar, satellite tv, safe, direct phone, internet connection all present and correct. The unfaltering luxury of the hotel is reflected in each and every one of its rooms and this sense of opulence echoes outwards into the wider facilities and services of the Palazzo Marziale.
