Sant'Agata sui Due Golfi · Sorrento Peninsula
An intimate garden retreat with eleven rooms, far-reaching views and a strong sense of privacy above the Sorrento Peninsula.
The ExpertoItaly view
Relais Oasi Olimpia occupies an 1892 villa within approximately 22,000 square metres of private gardens above Sant'Agata sui Due Golfi. The scale of the grounds and the small number of rooms create a genuine sense of retreat, while the ridge-top position opens views towards Vesuvius, the Bay of Naples and, from the highest outlooks, the Gulf of Salerno.
The hotel is particularly well suited to couples who value privacy, quiet mornings and the pleasure of returning to a settled base after exploring Sorrento, Capri or the Amalfi Coast. Its restaurant, organic garden and long-established cooking school also give food a more central role than it has at many small coastal hotels.
Sant'Agata's central square, restaurants and everyday shops are around 500 metres away. This makes it possible to enjoy the calm of the upper village without feeling entirely isolated, although planned transfers or a car remain useful for more ambitious days out.
Couples, honeymooners and food-minded travellers seeking a small, quietly run hotel with extensive gardens, panoramic views and a more composed alternative to staying in the busiest coastal centres.
Before choosing Relais Oasi Olimpia
The room category, dining plans and the way you intend to explore the peninsula have the greatest influence on the stay.
Superior rooms keep the emphasis on the hotel and its grounds. Junior Suites add a sitting area and a named panoramic outlook, while the Penthouse is the clear choice for a special stay, with 60 square metres and its own roof terrace.
Villa Oasi serves Mediterranean cooking shaped by seasonal produce, including ingredients from the organic garden. Summer meals beneath the pergola and an optional hands-on cooking class are part of the hotel's identity, not simply conveniences.
Free parking makes a car practical for independent exploration, but it is not essential for every stay. Private transfers, local taxis and pre-arranged touring work well for guests who prefer not to drive on the peninsula's busier roads.
Sorrento, Capri, Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast can all form part of the stay, but the pool, gardens and restaurant justify unhurried days too. A longer stay works better than trying to leave the hotel from morning to evening every day.
Rooms
The selection moves from the understated Superior rooms to panoramic Junior Suites and the hotel’s one 60-square-metre Penthouse.
One of two bright double rooms furnished in the villa's traditional style. This category suits guests who want the gardens, pool and dining to lead the stay, without requiring the extra living space of a suite.
Four 37-square-metre suites, each named for its outlook: Positano, Capri, Vesuvius or Sorrento. A bedroom area and lounge create more room to settle in; maximum occupancy is two.
A 60-square-metre suite with an ample bedroom, separate lounge and bathroom with experience shower. Its large panoramic terrace has a Jacuzzi and solarium, with views across the Gulfs of Naples and Salerno; maximum occupancy is two.
Life at Relais Oasi Olimpia
The hotel's small scale is balanced by unusually extensive outdoor space. Days can be active or entirely unhurried, with the restaurant and cooking school giving the stay a strong culinary thread.
The restored villa sits within approximately 22,000 square metres of Mediterranean gardens. Lawns, terraces, citrus and aromatic plants give guests space beyond the pool and bedroom.
Guests have complimentary use of the court behind the main villa. It adds an easy activity to a hotel otherwise designed around gardens, views and an unhurried rhythm.
The outdoor pool has loungers, towels and a pool bar, with the elevated setting keeping the surrounding landscape present throughout the day.
Seasonal Mediterranean cooking, a carefully chosen wine cellar and summer meals outdoors make dining an important part of the stay. The Olimpia Cooking School offers hands-on classes for guests who want to go further.
Location and logistics
Sant'Agata sui Due Golfi · ridge-top Sorrento Peninsula
Relais Oasi Olimpia stands on Via Deserto, above the centre of Sant'Agata sui Due Golfi. The village square, bars, restaurants and supermarket are approximately 500 metres away, as is the nearest bus stop. Sorrento is around 7 kilometres away, with its railway station and port providing onward connections.
The name Sant'Agata sui Due Golfi reflects the village's position on the ridge between the Gulf of Naples and the Gulf of Salerno. Nearby Il Deserto is one of the most rewarding viewpoints: from this high ground the geography of the peninsula becomes immediately clear.
Guests arriving without a car can use a private transfer from Naples and combine walking into the village with taxis, buses and arranged excursions. A car gives greater independence for Massa Lubrense, Nerano and quieter walking areas, and the hotel has complimentary parking; for the busiest Amalfi Coast days, a driver or boat can be the more relaxing solution.
Capri can be approached by ferry from Sorrento or as a privately arranged boat day. Sorrento, Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast are all realistic excursions, while walks around Il Deserto, Termini, Punta Campanella and the wider Massa Lubrense countryside offer a quieter counterpoint.
Plan the surrounding area
Use Massa Lubrense for walks, small towns, coves and a more local view of the peninsula beyond its busiest centres.
Read the guide
Plan the ferry, viewpoints and quieter intervals so that Capri works as an enjoyable day rather than a rushed checklist.
Read the guideHow to use Relais Oasi Olimpia in a wider journey
Relais Oasi Olimpia works best as the settled base for the Sorrento Peninsula, not as an overnight stop. Four nights is a sensible minimum; five to seven is more comfortable when Capri, Pompeii or the Amalfi Coast is included, because it protects time for the pool, gardens and food.
Begin in Naples for art, archaeology and street life, then move to Sant'Agata for open space and a slower pace. Ischia makes a logical final chapter, replacing sightseeing intensity with gardens, thermal bathing and island days.
For a shorter holiday, combine Naples and Relais Oasi Olimpia only. The three-stage route is better with eleven to fourteen nights, rather than compressing three distinct destinations into a rushed week.
Combine the creative character of Atelier Inès with the garden calm of Relais Oasi Olimpia, then finish at Botania Relais & Spa for thermal wellness and a gentler island rhythm.
