"The Fiorentino family might just have nabbed the finest corner of the Amalfi Coast when they built this grand-tour-era Grand Hotel, sequestered from Piazza Tasso by perfumed orange groves, in the 1830s. Today fifth-generation Fiorentinos have overseen renovations that restored the hotel’s shine with deference to its old-world elegance. Antique furniture and draping curtains secure a feeling of heritage. Some rooms have views over the lush gardens; the best have sunny terraces and boast a roll call of the hotel’s famous guests (Pavarotti, Caruso, Princess Margaret). Laid-back suppers at Terrazza Vittoria and all-night affairs at Michelin-starred Terrazza Bosquet make an art of Campanian produce; breakfast is taken under the frescoes at Ristorante Vittoria. From the pool, you can gaze at the classical buildings and daydream about the many lives the Vittoria has lived—although snoozing on the striped sun loungers is just as valid. Wherever you stand, this Amalfi landmark’s sense of occasion is as pertinent as ever. From $746. —Sarah James" - CNT Editors
