Holidays in Sorrento

An introduction to Sorrento

Sunshine, views and top-notch food, holidays to Sorrento tick all the right boxes. Teetering on the edge of a cliff- top that drops sheer into the sea, this enchanting town enjoys a superb location looking out over the Bay of Naples towards Mount Vesuvius. No wonder it's the most popular summer holiday haunt on the Neapolitan Riviera.

Daily life is based around the main square, Piazza Tasso. Fringed with cafes and restaurants, it's the perfect spot for a morning cappuccino or a plate of spaghetti come lunchtime. Once the sun sets, the square transforms somewhat with immaculately coiffed young Italians pulling up on their Vespas to hit the late night bars. Not far from here you'll find a part of town called the 'Drains'. Don't be put off by the name. It's actually a maze of Medieval alleyways laced with tempting trattorias and artisan shops selling things like bottles of limoncello and inlaid wood.

Of course, if you want to get out and about, Sorrento's a great base. Places like Pompeii, Capri and the Amalfi Coast are all within easy striking distance. Travel to Sorrento, and you're in for a treat.

And what about accommodation? There's so much to choose from. If it's a luxury break in Sorrento that you're after, book the Grand Hotel Ambasciatori from the Thomson A la Carte portfolio. Another popular property is the Grand Hotel Capodimonte, known for its breathtaking views. And then there's the Grand Hotel Flora, the Hotel La Solara, the Hotel Bristol…to name but a few.

So, whether you fancy indulging in some serious 5 star treatment or are just looking to bag last minute holidays to Sorrento, this gem of a resort is sure to enchant you.
