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 set to soothe from mid-2026.

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.

Sustainability efforts

La Tuja Relais du Parc treads lightly on its patch of Sorrentine paradise, with smart energy systems, LED lighting and water-saving touches that keep its footprint daintily small. Plastic-free and proudly local, the villa champions regional suppliers, and its Mediterranean gardens are planted with native species that frame a chlorine-free bio-pool.

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.

Italy

Tucked away in the sleepy seaside village of Seiano, La Tuja Relais du Parc sits on the quieter side of the Sorrento coast, in Vico Equense — the laidback gateway to the glittering Amalfi.

Planes

Naples-Capodichino Airport is 50 minutes away by car. Hotel transfers start from €120 one-way.

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.

Other

It's 10 minutes by train, or a 30-minute drive, to Sorrento’s ferry port for those looking to navigate the peninsula by boat. Ferries run between Naples and Sorrento every two hours.

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. 

Local restaurants

It’s unlikely that you’ll want to stray far from the villa’s inventive dining (accompanied by Vesuvius views, no less), but the pretty pergola and market-fresh produce at L’Antica Trattoria offer sufficient temptation to dine out. It doesn’t get much more Sorrentine than twirling homemade spaghetti surrounded by lemon trees at family-run Ristorante O'Parrucchiano La Favorita; and at Michelin-starred Nonna Rosa’s, ingredients mostly come from the chef’s farm in Montechiaro. 

Local cafés

For something sweet, stop by Antica Gelateria dell’Accademia (on the corner of Via Padre Reginaldo Giuliani and Via dell’Accademia in Sorrento). Flavours at this traditional gelateria range from classic limone to salted pistacchio, with a pastry section selling dunkable biscotti and brioche as well as tiramisù. 

Local bars

Brothers Luca and Luciano Galano cook family recipes in a citrus grove in the heart of Vico Equense at Osteria Il Barrio, but it’s the alfresco bar that draws an after-dark crowd for clever cocktails garnished with zest from the lemon trees you’ll sit (and sip) beneath.

Anonymous review

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this turreted villa in Seiano and unpacked their limoncello and yellow-coloured ceramics, a full account of their country-to-coast break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside La Tuja Relais du Parc in Sorrento… 

La Tuja Relais du Parc doesn’t just play at fairytales — it looks the part, too, with a Rapunzel-worthy tower that peeks above Seiano’s cypress trees. And thankfully, letting down your hair at this still-noble residence comes just as easy, starting with a prance down paths perfumed by citrus to the pool-like lake for a semi-wild swim.  

Return to your turret where Provençal fabrics are gently genteel, and not at all out of place with the verdant vistas that frame furnished balconies. Beyond the hotel’s enchanting park, royally relaxing duties extend to limoncello tastings on the embracing Vico Equense hills, sailing along the Amalfi Coast, and savouring truffle risotto at sunset. With Vesuvius smouldering on the horizon and Franciacorta blends sparkling in your glass, La Tuja is a chapter from a storybook you won't want to close.
