Sorrento

Sorrento and its peninsula are a celebration of colour, taste, of magical inlets and breath-taking scenery. This is the area beloved by the Roman emperors, chosen as the site to build sumptuous villas in which to abandon themselves to the pleasure of doing nothing. Pleasures subsequently relived by Wagner, Nietzsche, Dickens and Goethe in their unforgettable 19th century Grand Tours of Italy, recorded for history in diaries that have become masterpieces of literature. The historic center of Sorrento is a maze of narrow streets lined with artisan shops, citrus gardens, and elegant piazzas overlooking the sea. The town’s vibrant atmosphere blends with the serenity of panoramic terraces, offering views that stretch across the Bay of Naples to Mount Vesuvius. Sorrento is also a paradise for food lovers. Its cuisine, rooted in the rich Mediterranean tradition, features handmade pasta with San Marzano tomatoes, fresh seafood, and local delicacies like ‘gnocchi alla sorrentina’ and mozzarella from nearby hills. To end the meal, nothing compares to the sweetness of local pastries or a glass of the famous limoncello, made from the lemons that grow abundantly in the area. Sorrento is not just a place — it’s a feeling. A perfect blend of elegance, history, and nature that leaves an indelible mark on every traveler.
