    Great place to people watch
    This is indeed the place to start great to stop, have coffee before you wander down the dozens of little side streets full of great shops, if you want leather goods well take your pick. I would like to give a word of warning if you intend to walk to the port, from the piazza it's an OK walk till you come to a great view over the port then there is however around 200 very uneven,steep steps cut into the rocks which are extremely tricky, you can also walk a steep hill. With hind sight we discovered there is a lift how we wished we had found that, our legs are still aching 😫

    Absolutely ideal farm/pizza making/wine experience. Charming host with heartfelt story behind the creation of this farm. This farm was this family’s dream and it shows!

    Wonderful genuine Fishing Village hidden way down from the city of Sorrento easily accessible by stairs and road! Still a LONG WAY DOWN! Worth the effort as it is a different world from the hustle and bustle of the city!
    Many restaurants and cafes are here and there are buses and taxis to take if you are too full to walk up to the top again!

    A must see for historians visiting Sorrento.
    This ancient cloister offers tranquillity away from the hustle and bustle of manic Sorrento. The corridors, courtyard, columns and infamous trees are all worth spending a bit of time studying.
    For those willing there is often an exhibition on the upper floors.
    In summary, breathe in the antiquity away from the majority of tourists.

    Nice and vibrant shopping street with lots of people. We walked along the street slowly and looked into some of all the shops.

    A beautiful church
    We visited this church during Easter 2023. It is breathtaking and above everything it has a lovely atmosphere. There is an area below the main altar, which is beautiful. Would recommend for everyone to visit to escape the hustle and bustle of Sorrento ...

    Worth viewing as you go past
    We walked past the valley on our way into the centre of Sorrento from the train station. It's worth stopping for a moment because it's so different from anything else in the area.

    Exquisite
    This Catholic cathedral is dedicated to St James & St. Philip & is located just off the Corso Italia.
    Although it is more of a church than a cathedral, it is nonetheless very beautiful and very spiritual. Rebuilt in the Romanesque style, you can admire the exquisite paintings and architecture in relative peace and quiet. If you like this sort of experience I recommend a visit.

    Busy, but a lovely little beach
    We walked to the beach from Sorrento using a route in the Sunflower book. The walk took about an hour each way.
    Access to the beach is down a steep slope (which you will also need to climb back up again when you leave).

    The beach is very busy, so you will need to turn up early to claim your spot. On the sandy part of the beach there are sun loungers and umbrellas which can be hired out. On the rocky part of the beach, no payment is required and there is still easy access to the sea.

    When the tide is going out, the beach is very clean. We even had a quick chat to a local who was picking up litter. They really seem to have respect for the area. However, incoming tide also brings in litter from the sea.

    There are also plenty of restaurants and hotels on the beach, although we didn't get around to trying any of them.

    "ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!"
    Located on the corner of a busy alley near the clock tower and Piazzo Tasso sits this gorgeous building with it breath-taking colorful frescoes. On certain days you will find some elderly gentlemen sitting at the various tables playing cards.
    A MUST SEE!

    Super Mario
    Visit this lovely house and go down to the basement where you will meet the charming Mario. He will amaze and entertain you with his marvellous collection of antique musical boxes. He made the cabinets of many of them himself! Simply the most memorable experience you will have in Sorrento.

    Beautiful Cathedral
    This cathedral can be easily found whilst walking around the quaint town of Sorrento. The architecture is stunning and the painted ceiling is beautiful. The inlaid marquetry door is lovely. So much character and the atmosphere is so peaceful and tranquil. It really is a beautiful special place. There is no admission charge

    Beautiful house- changing exhibitions
    Superb range of Impressionism in a beautiful setting plus Sophia Loren photos and 150 Italian photos....
    Melody on the desk was amazingly helpful and really went out of her way....
    On returning to purchase a print 48 hours later her colleague left a lotto be desired and was extremely rude and unhelpful despite our politeness and pleading.
    Melody helped resolve our issues magnificently and we couldn't recommend her abilities any higher

    Relaxing square with great views over the Bay of Naples.
    Pizza della Vittoria is situated between the two main marinas in Sorrento, Marina Grande and Marina Piccola and a short distance from the more well known Villa Comunale di Sorrento.
    In the middle of the square there's a very pleasant garden which provides a respite from the sun with plenty of benches to sit on in the shade of the trees of the square. And then the terrace provides great views over the Bay of Naples and of the Beach clubs in the harbour below.

    Beautiful lemon trees and free samples
    We visited the Lemon Gardens on a beautiful cool day. The area is known for their lemons and it did not disappoint. You can walk throughout the gardens, relax and take pictures. They also have free samples and a little shop to buy some lemon products. It's worth a stop if you are in the area. It's also free to tour the gardens.
