Sorrento Peninsula — Boutique Hotels & Travel Guide
The Sorrento Peninsula juts into the Bay of Naples between the Amalfi Coast and the city, a ridge of limestone above terraced lemon groves and fishing villages that drop to the sea below. Sorrento itself is the most practical base on this stretch of coast — well connected by rail to Naples and by ferry to Capri and Amalfi, with a good concentration of hotels at every price point.
Warum Sorrento Peninsula besuchen
Sorrento's old town is genuinely charming — the Piazza Tasso, the views over the Marina Grande from the cliff walks, the limoncello producers who still make it by hand in back-street workshops. The peninsula's southern coast, reached by a winding road or by boat, is wilder and less visited than the Amalfi side — the villages of Nerano and Marina del Cantone are worth the effort.
Beste Reisezeit
April through October is excellent throughout. Sorrento functions year-round as a working town, making it one of the better off-season bases in the region — hotels stay open, restaurants keep their hours, and the Circumvesuviana train runs daily to Naples and Pompeii.
Nova Insider
The best swimming on the peninsula is not in Sorrento itself but at Marina del Cantone — a small beach at the end of the road on the southern coast, with water so clear it looks artificially coloured. The seafood restaurant Lo Scoglio, perched on the rocks at the edge of the beach, serves the best spaghetti alle vongole in Campania.
