History
Roman history and more in Sorrento
Once known as Surrentum, the resort that today clings to the Campanian coast has been entertaining people for millennia. The remains of Roman villas – like the Villa Pollio on the Sorrento cape – indicate that it was a popular getaway for luminaries of the Republic, while finds of Spanish vases and other coins reveal that ancient seafarers and merchants came here from right across the Mediterranean. The medieval ages saw Sorrento flit between allegiances with different Italian factions, eventually becoming its own city state and then a vassal of the Kingdom of Sicily. From the 1800s onwards, it seduced artists and writers. Keats and Byron made stopovers here and the Norwegian playwright, Henrik Ibsen, even crafted some of his iconic and brooding works in the Hotel Tramontano.

How to get around
Ways to travel when staying in Sorrento holiday homes
Your mode of transport in the Sorrento area will depend on what sort of Sorrento villa rental you've gone for. If you've been taken by the luxury of a private pad on the edges of the Lattari Mountains, with sea views and gardens of lemon groves, you might need to rent a car to get back and forth from the beaches and pizzerias. If you're staying in the heart of the town, then it's possible to arrive on the regular bus transfers from Naples Airport and make use of the local bus network. In fact, you might not even need that – Sorrento is largely walkable and there's even a lift to help you scale the high cliffs between the beaches and the town.
Food & drink
The culinary delights around Sorrento villa rentals
Sorrento sits in one of the most iconic culinary corners of Italy. Fertile soils and the bounty of the sea make it a chart-topping spot for foodies. The trademark DOC pizzas of Naples are still available on this edge of the great bay – look for the trattorias with real, wood-fired ovens and buffalo mozzarella on the menu if you want to try the most authentic style. Drinks-wise, Limoncello is the town's favourite tipple. It gleams a daffodil yellow from shop windows right throughout the centre, offering a sweet-sharp hit of citrus fruits. Then there are the olives – fresh, tasty, juicy – and the famous Ravello wines of Amalfi to sample.
