Colorful and Captivating
Overlooking the Bay of Naples and mount Vesuvius, Sorrento is a colorful town in Campania. According to legend, it was the land of the sirens that had the power to enchant with their singing.
The town of Sorrento has gorgeous Renaissance and Baroque architecture, and a wide variety of restaurants, shops and cafés. Built around the 11th century, the Romanesque Cathedral of Sorrento is the city’s most important landmark. The charming Bell Tower with the beautiful majolica clock is the first thing you notice.
The picturesque harbor of Marina Grande has some of the best restaurants in the city. Wander around during sunset and you'll see fishermen cleaning their nets. Marina Piccola is the place to catch a ferry to Capri, Amalfi and Naples.
Born in a garden of lemon and oranges, the traditional yellow liquor limoncello is a unique aperitif or digestive drink. The mediterranean climate of Sorrento helps in the production of this famous refreshment.
Naples International Airport is located 3 miles from the Capodichino district of Naples and about 18 miles from Sorrento. You can stay in one of the Sorrento hotels, B&Bs and pensions with Booking.com.

Wonderful location overlooking the sea.
Wonderful location overlooking the sea. Very nice size town. Great for strolling and eating and people watching. A great place to stay while visiting the Amalfi Coast, Capri and Ischia. Definately hire Carmelo Moretti to drive you for a day on the Amalfi Coast to see the towns. He is wonderful and charming. Paid $280Euros for a full day. It was worth every dime. Hire him to pick you up or take you back to the Naples Central station to take the train to or from Rome. $110 Euros DO NOT take the Circumvisuviano if you value your life.

Lots to see and do - great base for Capri.
Lots to see and do - great base for Capri. Pompeii, Vesuvius and Naples.
If you are in any way nervous about traffic on narrow streets do not drive here. It is total chaos. Parking is scarce and expensive. Use taxis, trains and ferries to get around and you'll be fine.
Take this into account when choosing where to stay.

Sorrento is beautiful and a great spot from which to explore...
Sorrento is beautiful and a great spot from which to explore the Amalfi Coast. Transportation to Positano, Amalfi, Capri and Pompeii is very convenient. There are several restaurants that feature seafood that are quite good. You have to look hard to avoid the standard tourist menu of pasta and pizza. Don't assume the most expensive restaurant is the best restaurant.

I love Sorrento.
I love Sorrento... more so than Positano. It is easy to get around, comfortable, more real. The beach or pier is lovely. The harbor and variety of boats is nice. I love marina Grande and it's tiny restaurants... especially Ristorante Delfino. I return to Sorrento often.

Sorrento is a beautiful city and perfect base for your stay...
Sorrento is a beautiful city and perfect base for your stay if you want to visit the Amalfi Coast. Its affordable compared to all the cities along the Amalfi Coast, and close proximity to Naples and Amalfi Coast. It is easy to get to and from Sorrento through public transportation.
“Everything was just perfect. Staff very friendly. Breakfast as much as you could eat freshly topped up every few minutes. Amazing views from my balcony. Cool garden which was very colorful and sweetly scented.
Good parking at a reasonable cost for Sorrento if you dare to take a vehicle.
Beach area for swimming in the sea for older children and a pool in the hotel grounds for younger children.
You definitely get what you pay for. Quality, cleanliness, comfort, views, excellent staff and good food.
Loved it.”
“Fantastic hotel and staff were very friendly and helpful. Set just outside Sorrento up in the hills the hotel has a fantastic view across the bay and is quiet and peaceful.
I was upgraded to a suite which was spacious, comfortable and set in the gardens with its own terrace which was lovely. Pool is also fantastic and plenty of sun loungers.”
“The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The appearance of the hotel was very clean. The rooms are very clean. The breakfast was delicious, a lot choices, something for everyone! The wait staff were so very friendly. The pool and views of Vesuvio and Sorrento are spectacular! The susets are magical!”
“This wonderful, updated hotel sits perched overlooking central Sorrento, with fantastic views of the Bay of Naples. Our room design and room facilities were some of the best I have ever experienced. Pool is glorious, staff are A#1, a more wonderful hotel I've never experienced in over 40 years of travel!”
“The staff at LaBadia was delightful. They were helpful when planning activities and attentive to our needs. The view from the hotel was SPECTACULAR. There is quite a hike down/up hill from Sorrento, but the view from the top makes every step worthwhile. Just above the entrance to the hotel you will find a terraced olive grove interspersed with tables and chairs and hammocks hanging between the trees- a delightful place to relax after a day of sightseeing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at La Badia!”
