Imperial Hôtel Tramontano
Through its long history as a private mansion and as a hotel the Tramontano has
sheltered many great people of the literary world.
It is legendary that Milton visited this shrine during his travels; and it was graced by
Goethe, Byron, Scott, Shelley, Musset, Lamartine, Keats, Leopardi and Longfellow. James
Fenimore Cooper lived here while writing the "Water Witch" and Harriet Beecher
Stowe here found her inspiration to write "Agnes of Sorrento". Henrik Ibsen
lived at the Tramontano for six months and wrote his immortal "Ghost" during
that time.
"Turna a Surriento" - "Come back to Sorrento", by G. B. De Curtis was
composed on the terrace of the Hotel.
This house has been patronized by royalty, including Queen Wilhelmina of Holland, Empress
Maria Alexandrowna of Russia and Edward VII as Prince of Wales in 1862 and later as King
of Great Britain.
The west wing of this hosterly is the historical birthplace of the celebrated Italian poet
Torquato Tassso Author of "Jerusalem Delivered" and "Aminta" March
11th 1544

Client Comments: "The hotel was absolutely fabulous (probably the best in Sorrento). The view of Vesuvius and the beach and the exquisite tile floor and bathroom, our room was one of the best four in the whole building".
"The staff at the hotel treated us with great kindness and were extremely helpful. Just wanted to let you know how happy we were".
