La Badia
La Badia wraps guests in the warmth of a family-run operation, staff like Maria and Don Riccardo remembered fondly across years, with breakfast on sun-drenched terraces overlooking the Bay of Naples, hammocks slung between ancient olive trees, and the unhurried rhythm of a traditional Sorrentine retreat, though some rooms show their age and the steep walk into town keeps it from feeling entirely intimate.
