La Tuja Relais du Parc

Style

Neapolitan pleaser

Setting

Giardini of Eden

It’s amore at first sight when it comes to La Tuja Relais du Parc, with a crowning ruby-red turret and befittingly storybook setting between Sorrento’s cypress trees and the Tyrrhenian Sea. Rooms and suites might look to Provence for their countrified Toile de Jouy trappings; but the terracotta façade and citrus-scented gardens of this former aristocrat’s residence remain firmly Mediterranean — as do the Gulf views towards Vesuvius.

Our Favourite Rooms

The glittering Tyrrenhian Sea can be spied from the balconies of the Deluxe Sea View rooms, as well as each and every one of the suites. Don’t discount the mountain view rooms, though, as bidding the Vico Equense’s rolling hills “buongiorno!” each morning has its own charms.

Poolside

Once an ornate 19th-century reservoir, the villa’s bio-pool has been reimagined as a crystalline natural lake — chlorine-free, eco-conscious and very much in tune with its Mediterranean garden setting.

Spa

Watch this space, there’s an in-the-works wellness centre in the works.

Packing Tips

Leave space in your bag for a hand-painted ceramic picked up in a cliffside village, or a linen shirt that feels even better after being sun-dried on a balcony rail. Pack shoes you can slip off quickly, too, for boating and beach days.

Children

All ages are welcome, and babysitting can be arranged with at least three days’ notice for €20 an hour. Suites Calla, Orchidea and Ortensia each sleep up to four, with two on a sofa-bed.

Food & Drink

Top Table

Any of the alfresco tables for lapping up those Vesuvius vistas.

Dress Code

La dolce vita, indeed — linen suits, silk dresses and citrus prints.

Hotel Restaurant

Tables at La Tuja spill out onto the terrace, where views of the parkland, Tyrrhenian Sea and Vesuvius set the stage for standout plates like truffle-infused risottos with red prawns and seaweed flour. Each Friday evening, live music drifts through the balmy air, and limoncello-laced cocktails are sipped late into the night.

Hotel Bar

Saunter between La Tuja bar and the gardens with the house signature in hand, a sparkling blend of Italicus botanical liqueur, limoncello, freshly squeezed Sorrento lemon juice and lavender syrup.

Planes

Trains

If you’re coming from Sorrento, take the Circumvesuviana train towards Naples, and hop off at Seiano’s Vico Equense stop. From there, it’s a six-minute walk to the hotel.

Automobiles

There are traffic-regulating measures in place throughout the summer in Sorrento, so unless you’re planning on a wider Amalfi Coast road trip, there’s little need for a car. If you do decide to drive, there’s free valet parking at the hotel.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

La Tuja Relais du Parc makes exploration effortless: take the hotel’s free shuttle into Vico Equense to stroll its cliff-top piazza, peek at the Gothic-Baroque cathedral of Santa Maria Annunziata for its frescoed alcoves and sea-facing terrace, and dip into the town’s Museo Mineralogico. Down at Marina di Seiano, you’ll find a quieter stretch of coast for swimming and bronzing, while nearby spots such as Marina Grande in Sorrento, or the hidden Bay of Ieranto, rewards the more adventurous. Up in the hills, the local lemon groves are ripe for alfresco dinners and limoncello tastings. For a change of perspective, set out by boat — Capri, Amalfi and Positano are all within a day’s sail, their shoreline villas and sea caves best admired from the water.
