The Britannia is a comfortable, professionally run 3 Star hotel that offers one of the best standards offered to student groups in this area. It is located on the coastal road close to Sorrento just 5 minutes by coach from Piazza Tasso and Sorrento's pedestrianised centre. There is a large breakfast room/restaurant as well as a lounge bar and a terrace. There are twin and triple rooms for students, many with panoramic views, and all come with en-suite facilities, TVs and air conditioning.

This unique 3 Star hotel is located just outside the village of Vico Equense. It was originally owned by a former merchant seaman and trader who decorated the whole building with antiquities from his beloved far east - the public areas are magnificent and there is also a panoramic restaurant. Student rooms sleep between 3-4 people and many have stunning views across the Bay of Naples. It is ideally located for explorations of Naples, Pompeii, the Sorrento peninsula and the Amalfi Coast and is just a short walk from the ocal train station.
