Sorrento has many luxurious hotels and beautiful cliff-side resorts and is an ideal base from which to visit Pompeii, Capri and the Amalfi Coast. Although its history dates back ancient times, there are no must-see historical sights in town and this is the place to just chill out and enjoy the sun, sea and magnificent scenery.
