What travelers are saying
- travelgirl315Canton, GA1,636 contributionsGreat starting point for a walk around Sorrento. There are many shops and restaurants right near the square or a few steps away you can get lost in the alleyways of shops leading to the water. Be careful when crossing streets, even in crosswalks.Written September 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Marciana D2 contributionsAmazing experience- highly recommend.
Our children loved it and it was a highlight of our trip. Family owned and operated, and made for a great night.Written August 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We stayed in a villa in this village for 1 week and used it as our home base for touring the Amalfi. Walking to the village requires a lot of walking and climbing. You can very easily take a bus or taxi. The views are spectacular! The restaurants are great and extremely hospitable. There is a little store with basics and excellent sandwiches. Our family absolutely loved this area of Sorrento and we all recommend.Written October 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Marlon A2 contributionsI loved the street very much. I've been around here for years, this is the first time I came here. Try it you will agree with me.Written August 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- TimWandMelGAustin, TX301 contributionsThe cloister of San Francesco in Sorrento was built in the 14th-century style and incorporates ruins from prior pagan temples and other archaeological sites. Often described by visitors as an oasis offering tranquility away from the bustle of Sorrento, the quiet corridors, courtyard, columns and trees are all worth your time (you can see the whole site in under 15 mins) as the columns of the arches are all unique. Admission is free and there is sometimes an exhibition on the upper floors for which a fee is charged.Written August 22, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Aaron GLos Angeles, CA345 contributionsSadly, what you've read in the reviews is true: They've "cleaned" all of the foliage off of the ruins, basically laying them bare and eradicating all mystery and rustic atmosphere from the site. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it's still an impressive visit. Oh and it's FREE. How many awesome things in this world are free? Not many.
Simply park across the street (if you have a car), cross the street, and you're there. You won't need more than an hour, but don't rush your visit. There's a stillness and peacefulness to it that you won't want to miss.Written October 19, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

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.Written September 15, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Once inside you get to experience this magnificent place of worship. Dating from the 11th century the facade is Romanesque while the interior is constructed of re-used Roman columns to support the roof and to create the three naves that comprise the interior space. The interior is lavishly decorated throughout as should be expected. The crypt houses the remains of the Saint who was reported to have undertaken six miracles throughout his life.Written August 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Paul MakLondon, UK452 contributionsBeautifully Breathtaking is essentially all I can say to describe this one in a million site. Very fascinating and a very comfortable and inviting setting.

- 🌍Travel-Uwe🌎Cologne, Germany8,571 contributionsThis was the second time we visited Sorrento.
The first time we liked it a lot to walk and to eat in the evening in the old town.
Now, for the second time, we went in the late morning through the nice pedestrian zone,
visited some tourist shops in the narrow streets and enjoyed the stunning views from the park to the sea.Written September 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The church is near the main square so it's definitely worth a stop in.Written September 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CarolinaNurse323Kernersville, NC6,422 contributionsLocated 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.

Lovely outside garden space to sit and relax for free.
Our 5euro visit gave the opportunity to learn about the style of E Marinella ties which was fascinating and also on the top floor a wonderful exhibit of old beautifully made music boxes.Written July 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CarolsThoughtsElk Grove Village, IL21 contributionsWe walked to the garden behind the building with no entrance fee at all. Be sure to walk all the way back in the gardens to see the old time scenes. Great for photos. Peaceful.
