Sorrento is one of those places that has a little bit of everything: beautiful views, history, excellent food, a lively atmosphere and an exceptional location for exploring some of the most iconic destinations in southern Italy.
What we love most is the combination of authentic local life and the energy of an international destination. Wander through the narrow streets of the historic centre, stop for an espresso in a local café, discover small shops and restaurants, enjoy an aperitivo as the sun goes down, or walk towards the coast to admire the views across the Bay of Naples.
Sorrento is also an extraordinary base for exploring the region. From here, you can take a boat or hydrofoil to Capri, travel along the Amalfi Coast to Positano, Amalfi and Ravello, or easily visit Pompeii, Herculaneum, Naples and Mount Vesuvius.
And then there is the food: fresh seafood, handmade pasta, local olive oil, mozzarella, traditional pastries and, of course, Sorrento's famous lemons and limoncello.
This particular area is especially convenient because it allows you to experience Sorrento on foot. Piazza Tasso is just steps away, with restaurants, cafés, boutiques and the historic centre all around you. The train station and port are also within walking distance, making day trips easy even without a car.
For us, this is the perfect balance: staying right in the heart of Sorrento while having the best of the Sorrento Peninsula, Capri, Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast within easy reach.
