Sorrento: The Grand Beauty Among Enchanting Coasts and Timeless Culture

Sorrento is a jewel of Campania, a perfect combination of unique views and timeless ancient charm.

Situated at a vantage point on the coast, this enchanting town is nestled between the deep blue of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the green of its lush gardens. Those arriving by train pass through lemon groves at one point before reaching the station, a dream for many guests from around the world.

The large local lemons make a fine display in the old town market whose fragrance permeates the air, and you may happen to taste a limoncello for free in one of the many taste boutiques, where every sip tells the story of this land.

Here its artisan traditions are alive, such as wood inlay work, which has enchanted visitors from all over the world for centuries.

Sorrento also delights the palate with its delicacies. Sorrento's cuisine is a riot of Mediterranean flavors: from fresh seafood to Neapolitan pizza to pasta specialties such as “Gnocchi alla Sorrentina” to be enjoyed perhaps in one of the historic trattorias in Marina Grande, Sorrento's old fishermen's port, formerly the set of the film “Bread, Love and...” starring Sophia Loren and Vittorio De Sica.

Sorrento enchants the senses, enraptures the heart and gives experiences that remain etched in the memory such as looking out from the Villa Comunale and admiring the sunset over the Gulf. To discover this wonderful city is to immerse oneself in a unique atmosphere of history, art, flavors and unparalleled scents. Its great beauty never ceases to fascinate, making every visit an unforgettable journey, and a visit to the Correale Museum, recently reopened to the public with new exhibits dedicated to Roman-era Sorrento, is not to be missed.
