Its just a ravine with a disused mill at the bottom. You can't get down there - you just stand on the side of the road and look down - you can see this sort of thing anywhere. Can't understand what these people are raving about. When you've seen it once that's about it! That is no doubt why no-one... More

If you don't look for it you won't find it! Our Italy book did not tell us about it and and the hotel when our host circled all the sights she did not mention it either! Which is astounding as the view is so surprising in the middle of this not so small town that it just blew us away.... More

Hey just ask at Piazza Tasso and most anyone will direct you to the Vallone dei Mulini right in the heart of the center of Sorrento. You will enjoy the magnificent look down, way down into history.

We were looking for some peace and quiet in this bustling town and found this beautiful spot. I had seen info on it in a guide book but once in Sorrento we were so overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle that we walked away from town and found it.

We happened upon this jewel while walking the streets of Sorrento. What a priceless view. On first glance you are taken aback by the distance to the floor below but once your eyes adjust it is captivating. I couldn't find a sign anywhere telling me what is was but found on internet. A must see.

Beautiful attraction, also lit up at night. No access to it, but lovely find - make sure you look out for it, as situated down from main walk way.

We've been to Sorrento several times and this is the first time we've walked the two blocks from Piazza Tasso to see this site. It is beautiful in the daytime and I can't wait to go back this evening and see it in the light of the floodlights.

Don't miss this incredible sight! You can only view it from the top as there is no access to the mill at the bottom. I knew it was there and set out to find it to surprise my husband. We were both amazed to find this deep ravine in the middle of town.
