Why visit Sorrento?
Perched on volcanic tuff cliffs overlooking the Bay of Naples, Sorrento serves as the tactile gateway to the Amalfi Coast. Start your morning in Piazza Tasso, watching the bustle from the terrace of Bar Fauno before descending to Marina Grande, a weathered fishing harbor where colorful wooden gozzi boats bob against a backdrop of pastel facades. Wander the narrow, labyrinthine alleys of the historic center to browse workshops producing inlaid wood marquetry, a craft that has defined the town for centuries. The air is perpetually perfumed by the groves of Sorrento IGP lemons, which find their way into every corner of the local culinary scene.
Dining here is an exercise in Mediterranean indulgence. Secure a table at Ristorante Bagni Delfino to taste scialatielli ai frutti di mare while the sun sets behind Mount Vesuvius. Follow the meal with a chilled glass of house-made limoncello, crafted from the thick-skinned Sfusato Amalfitano lemon. For those seeking coastal respite, the sun-drenched docks at Leonelli’s Beach offer direct access to the Tyrrhenian Sea. As night falls, explore the cloisters of the 14th-century Basilica di San Antonino or retreat to the lemon-scented gardens of Villa Comunale for an unobstructed view of the distant volcanic silhouette.
