Spend a traditional Easter at The Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria, Sorrento with Holy processions, Easter egg hunts & picnic on the beach

Positioned on the cliff tops on the Amalfi coastline, The Grand Hotel Excelsior is the ideal place to experience Easter the Mediterranean way. Take in the panoramic and breathtaking views over the Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius and join in on the local Italian Easter celebrations. Sorrento, full of natural beauty and tradition will be buzzing with ancient Easter traditions and fun filled festivities with a number of hooded processions on Holy Friday, which date back to the 1500’s, including the parade of ‘Our Lady of Sorrows’ when the ‘Madonna’ is carried high above the crowds through Piazza Tasso, visiting each of the numerous churches along the way. Take part in the Italian tradition of a relaxing day trip and Easter picnic on the beach on Easter Monday with a basket full of goodies, such as Sorrento’s typical Easter cakes: “casatiello” and the “pastiera”, which is tied to a legend: the myth of the mermaid Partenope. The children will then be entertained with an Easter egg hunt in the hotel’s beautiful gardens whilst you unwind with one of the invigorating treatments from La Serra Boutique Spa. Then retreat to one of the newly renovated deluxe premium rooms boasting a 30 sqm terrace overlooking the Gulf of Naples, which makes for a perfect spot to take in the sun and sea breeze whilst enjoying an aperitif - perhaps even some limoncello...
