As an essential stop on the Grand Tour, Sorrento has always fascinated artists, poets and writers, who came to visit the place over the centuries, and let its beauties inspire their works. Located in the heart of the historic center, The Literary House is the perfect place for those who want to follow the trails left behind by famous authors such as Torquato Tasso, Ibsen, Lev Tolstoj, Shelley, in an evocative yet modern setting, luxuriously furnished and complete with every comfort. The newly renovated apartment is equipped with thermal and acoustic insulation, home automation system, air conditioning and free WiFi. The front door opens onto a spacious living room, which features a kitchen with induction cooker, coffee machine, SmartTV, and a wide, sunny terrace overlooking the historic alleys, the typical citrus grove and sea view. The two bedrooms - one of which with private bathroom and design day bed, the other one featured by a tailor-made wooden bookcase - have a terrace, too, with breathtaking views of the Gulf of Naples and Mount Vesuvius; both have king size beds, open wardrobe and SmartTV. Moreover, there are another bathroom and a utility room with washer/dryer.
