The pristine limestone facade of Carmel at Sorrento was built over a hundred years ago, but the interiors of its luxury lodgings are anything but dated. Carmel at Sorrento, in the heart of the Sorrento village, offers six boutique apartments and one penthouse, all fully equipped with modern appliances and thoughtfully designed. Its location is unbeatable, but what really sets Carmel at Sorrento apart are the little touches; from the chic furnishings to the hidden smart TV and the dedicated tea brewing station, the owners have thought of every convenience to make your stay a happy one.
