Sorrento

Sorrento is a super destination for an interesting holiday as there is plenty to do however it is alsoa great place to relax. Sorrento is located about a 90 minutes from Naples and is lcated on the beautiful Amalfi coastline. It is a good launching point to explore Pompeii, Vesucvious and the upmarket island of Capri. It is a bustling tourist dominated Italian town and it gets very busy in the summer months with both international and domestic visitors as it is a popular destination with Italian families. I would say it is more of a family hoiday destination, we found the nightlife a bit limited however we were looking for a relaxing break and for that it was ...  Read the complete review

I went to sorrento just after my 17th birthday and it was one of the nicest place ive been to. We landed at the airport in napels which was just like an over sized aeroplane hanger and not very nice. To get to sorrent (with stopping off at quiet a few hotels on the way ) took us 2 hours on a coach. We stayed at the hotel capodimente which was very nice. a beautiful stone drive way going up to the hotel entrance. Inside was very cool and the staff was extremly friendly. The view from whereevr you are stood is beautiful. The drains (im not been rude thats what they call there back streets ) where overly busy but enjoyalble. Plenty of shops all selling different ...  Read the complete review

Honeymooned here with Mrs Bajiya a couple of years ago and we both thought it was a beautiful location with breath taking scenery. Sorrento itself overlooks the Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius gives the view a stunning backdrop. From Naples Airport a cab will cost you 100 Euros the train is direct into the centre and will cost approx 10 Euros, so take your pick. However, a luxury car on the way back will only set you back 70 Euros. The town is set around a busy main square with hotels stretching along the cliff top and up the hillside. Plenty of city tour buses and a dotto train can give you a decent look around the main parts of the town and is a useful ...  Read the complete review

We were pleasantly surprised with Sorrento. It was a first stop on a 15-day vacation to Italy that my wife and I took to celebrate our 25th Anniversary. Our 25-year-old son, 21-year-old daughter and their respective boyfriend and girlfriend accompanied us. We spent 5 days here. Subsequently we visited Rome, Venice, and Lake Como. Reports that Sorrento would be overcrowded and overpriced seemed to be exaggerated. Perhaps our visit in late May helped us enjoy great weather, while still avoiding the summer crowds. Sorrento is a very tidy, beautiful, and friendly place. They have been welcoming European tourists for over 200 years, and are ...  Read the complete review

When it comes to travel I have permanently itchy feet. Even when I'm on holiday I just can't satisfy that itch and so when I get back home I often feel that I haven't done justice to a particular destination. My holidays lately have been based around touring an area or making my base in a good central location and taking day trips to nearby places. Sorrento was one of my must-visits when in Naples for a week in 2004. An easy to negotiate hour or so train journey from Naples (only 25KM but stops everywhere), Sorrento offers a very pleasant alternative to the hustle and bustle of southern Italy's largest city. The train journey itself is integral to ...  Read the complete review
