Relais Regina Giovanna Rooms & Apartments (Sorrento)
Amalfi Coast - Sorrento - Positano, Italy
The Regina Giovanna country guesthouse is set on 50 acres, with its own small private beach, in the vicinity of Capo di Sorrento, in the province of Salerno. An exclusive and privileged location, far from the rest of the world, but within easy reach. An old farmhouse that fits in perfectly with the countryside of the Sorrento Peninsula, a pearl in the Gulf of Naples in front of the islands of Capri, Ischia and Procida. A welcoming resort set among olive groves and citrus orchards, renovated with finesse to satisfy even the most demanding guests. Situated just 3 km away from the centre of Sorrento, the resort has every comfort for a holiday away from the rest of the world. Go for a walk around the 50 acres of grounds, and sunbathe on the small private beach close to the remains of the Roman Villa of Pollio Felice, or discover a myriad of bike trails, or better still, explore the coast and the Mythical islands by boat or canoe.The distance from the Relais to Sorrento city center is 10 minutes driving and 40 minutes walking. Just out of the Relais' entrance there is a bus city stop. Every 20 minutes there is a scheduled departure.
Fourteen rooms and 5 apartments. A warm and welcoming place, where every detail has been thoroughly thought out with the care and attention that stem from a passion. The passion of a land where hospitality is an art form. Spacious and bright rooms, with every comfort to make our Guests feel completely at ease. Stone, old terracotta tiles, wooden furniture and wooden beams are signs of a tradition that refuses to neglect comfort. You will be surprised by the elegance the guesthouse conceals, like a precious jewel in an ancient safe, behind the walls of a former Farmhouse.
From Farm to Fork
Taste with your eyes, love with your palate. At Regina Giovanna, we like to take things slow. And not just because of the nature we live in. Food is another element that needs time. Time to grow, time to cook, and yes, time to eat. It’s an ancient lesson that we still regard as sacred in our restaurant, where each ingredient is unique in its simplicity. Our olive oil is made right here, fruit and vegetables are picked and plucked every day, our bread is cooked in a wood oven, the pasta is homemade, fish and meat are locally sourced, and wines and spirits are carefully paired with each dish according to local traditions. These are all small, passionate rituals that make your meal truly special. We always advise guests to try our restaurant PANE & OLIO at least once, so that they can personally sample the marvels of our kitchen. In order to ensure the highest quality standards, we can seat only a limited number of guests and the menu changes daily based on the best ingredients available.

The awakening of the senses at the Regina Giovanna starts with our breakfast. We serve it from 7.30am to 10.30am, welcoming our guests with a rich selection of fresh specialties: homemade bread and pastry, squeezes and juices, salads, local cheese and sliced meat, plus of course your favorite choice of beverages like tea, milk, coffee, cappuccino and hot chocolate.
