Where to stay

The Sorrento Historical Centre is the perfect place to stay for history lovers, as it's filled with mansions, villas, and fascinating museums. Stroll through the lively alleys to admire the town's rich architectural heritage, including Basilica di Sant'Antonio, Chiesa di San Francesco, and Sorrento Cathedral. Find a room near the Museo Correale di Terranova to explore a vast collection of paintings and portraits, precious porcelains, and the colorful gardens surrounding the museum. Accommodations near Piazza Tasso are steps from the Deep Valley of the Mills, an old abandoned flour mill in a deep ravine, where nature blends with crumbling ruins.

Beautiful benches cover the Sorrentine Peninsula. No matter where visitors stay, the mild, sunny climate puts outdoor activities at the top of the list of things to do. Marina Piccola, home to the Port of Sorrento, is a popular place to stay for sunbathing on the volcanic sand. Swim in calm waters, surrounded by colorful umbrellas and people-watching opportunities. One way to access the port is via the Sorrento Lift in Villa Comunale Park. Find a room near here to enjoy spectacular sunsets every day, accompanied by sweeping views over manicured gardens across the Gulf of Naples to the looming Mount Vesuvius.

Piazza Tasso, located in the historic Sorrento City Centre, is the place to stay for dining in atmospheric cafés and restaurants, day or night. From here, head to the Via San Cesareo, the town's main shopping street. Visit artisan stores, leathercraft shops, and vegetable stands, stopping at wine bars along the way. For a more relaxed shopping and dining experience, choose hotels around the nearby Piazza Sant'Antonio. Seafood is on the menu at Marina Grande, so stay nearby to dine at family-run restaurants serving fresh fish. Sip Italian wine and watch bright fishing boats bobbing on the water.
