Sorrento
The irregular and indented coastline seems to protect the little coloured houses and the characteristic streets of the internal areas. Sorrento coast will welcome you in its territory: a real Eden. The scent of lemons, the fragrances of flowers and fruits and the group of towns that star this coast are the real richness of this part of Campania. The best painters tried to reproduce the colour of this beautiful place, and sure it is going to charm you too, the summer and winter. Its beauty is so evident that every year Sorrento and its surroundings are assaulted by numerous tourists.
If a great part of the most known writers of the XX century like Goethe, Dickens, Nietzsche and D’Annunzio, chose Sorrento as destination for their holidays or to spent there part of the year, there must be a reason: this town owns all that nature can offers: green hills filled of scented flowers near a stupendous sea. Sorrento is the pearl of the Sorrento Coast. The Vesuvius seems to protect and to watch over its calm and beauty. The centro storico with its workshops and its monuments: The Cathedral, the Basilica of San Francesco and the Sedile Dominova. The fulcrum of Sorrento is Piazza Tasso, dedicated to the writer who was born in this area. Not very far from the place there’s the Villa Comunale, often subject of the picture postcard, from which you can admire a breath-taking view.
