Holiday homes & rentals in Sorrento

Sorrento is an Italian city blessed with innumerable cultural delights. From the illustrious Isle of Capri, a star-studded hideaway tucked away just of the coastline near Naples, to the perfectly preserved ancient Roman city of Pompeii and the internationally renowned beauty of the Amalfi Coast, Sorrento is a stunning location.

Sorrento's welcoming climate

With its warm and welcoming weather and two popular processions through the city to mark Easter, Spring is a delightful time to visit Sorrento. Summer is of course hot and sunny and an ideal time to bring the kids for some frolics in the sea, although the city does get busy this time of year and autumn is also stunning. Cooling off in November, winters are mild.

Sneak a peek at illustrious Capri

Just along the coast is Capri, a rightfully legendary island with its own song. Capri has always been a retreat for artists and cultural bon vivants and was also the setting of 'The Lotus Eater', a short story by Somerset Maughan. You will also want to stay in the place that inspired Debussy's prelude, Les collines d'Anacapri. Take a boat to the Blue Grotto, a cavern lit by deep blue light due to a combination of the island's clear waters, stunning weather and unique rock formations.

Don't miss these regional highlights

Piazzo Tasso

The central square in Sorrento is fronted by the Baroque church Del Carmine which houses a spectacular painting by Onofrio Avellino near its altar. Look out for the statue of Antonino Abbate, a local saint who died in 625.

Amalfi Coast

Unesco and the world's honeymooners deem the Amalfi coast an ideal example of Mediterranean beauty and culture. Its glittering seas are matched in grandeur by shards of verdant mountain, which are the scene for some of the most charismatic culture in Europe.

Mount Vesuvius

The still smoking summit of this famous volcano remains a draw for nature and culture lovers alike. Sitting with deceptive benevolence over Sorrento, this once volatile volcano is responsible for preserving the ancient city of Pompeii with ash and providing a fascinating and unique time capsule for archaeologists.

Sorrento Peninsula

With its white sailed yachts and foam crested waves, this sunny peninsula is an ideal spot to try out water sports, from kayaking to windsurfing. The famous island of Capri, the holiday home of Mariah Carey and an almost endless list of celebrities, is also the location of the miraculous Blue Grotto cavern.

Vallone dei Mulini

Once a centre for grain grinding, this historic valley actually dates back to the eruption of Campi Flegrei over thirty seven thousand years ago. Today, a sawmill dating from the 10th Century can still be seen among the verdant growth of plants in this stunning and mysterious valley.
