Sorrento – A Perfect Tourist Spot Steeped in History and Natural Beauty
Sorrento is a beautiful and bustling resort town in Southern Italy. With a history going back 2000 years, Sorrento has attracted visitors from all over the world with its breathtaking sunsets, lemon gardens and its proximity to Vesuvius, Positano, Ravello, Amalfi and the Island of Capri.
If you want to enjoy authentic Italian family hospitality on your Sorrento vacation, stay in a family-run bed and breakfast facility. It’s the most “Italian” way to explore the city. You can spend your days at the beach, in the shops browsing Italian crafts, hike through the mountains or walk along the coastline and enjoy the delicacies of Italian cuisine.
The town of Sorrento is a veteran when it comes to dealing with tourism. Many tourists visit Sorrento in its own right, many more use the seaside town as a base for exploring the Naples area or the Amalfi Coast and Capri. Sorrento makes a good base, as it's well-connected by sea, road, bus and the Circumvesuviana metro train.
Time passes pleasantly in Sorrento; there are, of course, hundreds of tourist shops, but also relaxed cafes and restaurants where you can sit at pavement tables and watch the world go by. The tourist focal point is Piazza Tasso, where tables and chairs crowd the central square which is built over a gorge. As you look out to sea, the old, more attractive part of town is on your left, and the station on your right. The tourist information office is located just off Piazza San Antonino, in the old town. Take the Via dei Maio, the small road towards the sea, and the Tourist Office is on the right, through a gateway labelled 'Foreigners Club'. You can pick up free town maps, leaflets and timetables for local transport.
There aren't a great deal of actual 'sights' in the town, although there are plenty of panoramic views and pleasant spots. The fourteenth century Chiesa di San Francesco has a charming flowery cloister, and a small garden next to the church offers a spot of tranquillity with splendid views across the Bay of Naples. South of Corso Italia there is a medieval cathedral, and more of the town's history can be seen at Museo Correale, near the station.
Note that there aren't many actual beaches in Sorrento; sea access is generally via wooden or stone bathing platforms at the foot of the cliffs.
As well as independent travellers, the destination is also a popular one with tour operators and features in package holiday brochures. There are a very wide range of accommodation options in Sorrento, from luxury hotels above the sea to self-catering apartments ideal for families.
The town is used to the constant incursions of tourists and you hear the English language everywhere. The locals know their market; bars offer chips and hot dogs, and waiters coax tourists into cafes with promises of 'a nice cup of tea'. For the novice traveller, or the linguistically-cautious, Sorrento is reassuringly familiar and easy to deal with, while still oozing Italian charm.
You can stay in bed and breakfast in Sorrento. For the ultimate in genuine Italian hospitality, come to the Bed and Breakfast at Casa Mazzola in Sorrento. With its newly built rooms with magnificent panoramic sea views of the Bay of Naples, Casa Mazzola will surely make your trip memorable and exciting. Book your rooms in advance by calling us now.
