Sorrento occupies a dramatic position above the Bay of Naples with views towards Vesuvius. Its historic centre, citrus gardens and transport connections have long made it a natural base for the surrounding region.
Experiencing the region
Private boats can reach Capri and the Amalfi Coast, while Pompeii and Naples are accessible inland. Sorrento itself rewards evening walks and relaxed meals once day excursions are complete.
Planning your stay
It is an especially practical choice for travellers wanting several iconic destinations without changing hotels repeatedly, provided transfers and boat days are planned carefully.
