Hotels Sorrento, Guesthouses Sorrento and Residences Sorrento

Sorrento, a wonderful seaside resort situated in the province of Naples, is characterized by a charming old town which gazes across the countryside from the top of a high tuffaceous promontory overlooking the sea, and is backed by gentle hills carpeted with a lush vegetation.

Local accommodation facilities are distributed along the coast, in the heart of the ancient village and across the nearby hills. Both 3- and 4-star hotels are situated in a panoramic position and offer guests utmost comfort and high-quality services and facilities. Intimate inns overlooking the sea, charming vacation homes and holiday farms surrounded by a lush vegetation and small bed and breakfasts situated just in the heart of the old town complement the tourist offer of this enchanting resort overlooking the Gulf of Naples.

Those spending their summer holidays in Sorrento will have the possibility to enjoy some of the most compelling beaches in Italy while sunbathing, playing beach sports or swimming in the crystal-clear sea. The small resorts of Marina Grande and Marina di Puolo gather large public beaches, well-groomed bathing establishments, outdoor clubs and elegant restaurants overlooking the sea. Sailing along the sea from Marina Piccola tourists will enjoy breathtaking views over the sixteenth-century towers which surround the city and the ancient trees of the Municipal Villa, the latter gazing across the sea from on high. Another beach worthy of note is Capo Sorrento, whose promontory hosts the remains of an ancient Roman villa. This impressive building overlooks a small beach which nestles inside an hidden cove, the so-called “Bagni della Regina Giovanna” (“Beach of Queen Giovanna”).
The coastline which extends between Massa Lubrense and Punta Campanella is part of the protected area of Punta Campanella Reserve. The name Punta Campanella derives from Torre Minerva, an ancient tower erected in 1335 whose bell was used to signal the arrival of pirates. This is the ideal holiday destination for the lovers of diving, who will have the opportunity to explore marvellous shoal; proper equipments can be hired on the beach. Baia di Ieranto too is dominated by an imposing tower, the sixteenth-century Tower of Montalto.
Sorrento’s old town, which is fully encircled by sixteenth-century walls, is scattered with outstanding monuments and works of art. The most important sacred building is the Cathedral, which was realized in the XV century over the remains of a Roman building. The Baroque Church of Addolorata boasts outstanding outer decorations and its interior cherishes inestimable works of art. Both cultural tourists and holidaymakers won’t miss the opportunity to visit the historical nineteenth-century Vittoria Hotel, which welcomed Queen Victoria of Swabia and the Neapolitan tenor Enrico Caruso. Not to be missed are the rich artistic and archaeological collection of Museum Correale di Terranava, the native house of Cornelia Tasso, the sister of the famous poet from Sorrento, the medieval palaces of Via Pietà and Via delle Grazie and Via San Cesareo, the latter being scattered with plenty of shops where tourists can buy curious items and local handicrafts.
Those interested in exploring the surrounding area will have the possibility to take advantage of regular buses, trains and ferry boats, the latter connecting the small harbour of Marina Piccola di Sorrento with Naples, Amalfi Coast and the major islands of the Campanian Archipelago.
