Sorrento Area holidays
It’s all glitz and glam around sun-kissed Sorrento and its famous cliff-lined coastline. This is where charming hillside towns ooze seaside chic and life revolves around long lunches of seafood spaghetti and limoncello as you people-watch behind designer shades. Timeless Sorrento takes centre stage thanks to its buzzy piazzas and vintage bathing platforms, but rural charm and sunshine days in the slow lane await in neighbours like Massa Lubrense. Further south, pastel-coloured lookers Positano and Ravello pull in the A-list crowds for their stylish shopping and sky-high gardens. And if you can tear yourself away from village-hopping, vineyard visits, jet-setter islands and the archaeological phenomenon of Pompeii are all on the menu too.Popular holiday resorts in Sorrento

Picture-perfect towns
The Riviera's star of the show is Sorrento. Home to two lovely marinas and a maze of cute, cobbled streets, its understated elegance is nothing short of charming. On the Amalfi Coast, Positano is a vision of pastel-coloured villas with the most superb sea views, while dreamy Ravello boasts sweeping vistas, polished piazzas and sculpted gardens.
Buon appetito
When it comes to food and drink, this part of Italy is star-spangled – yup, there are lots of Michelin restaurants to try. And you can stir your senses with a taste of Sorrento’s famous lemon liquor, limoncello. The sun-soaked lemons here are so sweet and for the best buffalo mozzarella, you’re in the right place. Try some on a Pizza Margherita, another local creation. Grab a harbourside table for sparkling sea views or head to Piazza Tasso for a buzzy square setting.
More to explore
The archaeological phenomenon of Pompeii is an absolute must-see on every Sorrento holiday. At this ancient city frozen in time, you’ll be amazed by the well-preserved artefacts on show – plus it’s just a train ride away. Favoured by the rich and famous, the island of Capri oozes glitz and glam. Make like the jet-setters and sail across to this exclusive sun-drenched retreat.
