Monastery of Deserto Tours

Visit the defensive stronghold that kept pirates and invading armies from entering Sorrento since pre-Roman times.

Attend cultural events and browse an exhibition of Sorrento music boxes in a city center villa from the early 20th century.

Wander through the salons of an 18th-century home to see wonderful examples of Sorrentine artisanship and to learn about the city’s past.

Decorative chapels and a dazzling collection of frescoes by notable Italian artists beautify the interior of this 15th-century religious monument.

In the heart of Sorrento, behind central Tasso Square, lies an almost hidden treasure: an ancient and overgrown ruin in a lush ravine.

This charming port has served as Sorrento’s connection to the sea for almost 2,000 years and is still in use by local fishermen.
