Description
Booking a spontaneous long weekend or longer stay in this beautiful part of Italy will be one of the best holiday decisions you’ll ever make. Sorrento is a romantic destination, so it’s a popular choice with couples of all ages who want to spend some precious time together. Picture yourself walking hand-in-hand in the warming Sorrento sunshine without a care in the world.
The cuisine served in and around Sorrento will be a real highlight of your stay. Did you know the popular pasta dish cannelloni was invented here? The local lemon liqueur known as ‘limoncello’ is another must-try on your break to Italy’s Campania region.
The Sorrento Cathedral is a majestic and fascinating structure that dates back to the 11th century and was transformed four centuries later. With easy access to the island of Capri and one of the world’s most incredible drives along the Amalfi Coast, there’s more than enough to whet your appetite for a return visit to Sorrento. You don’t need to spend much time in this Southern Italian town to fall head over heels in love with it. Sorrento is one of those magical places that’s impossible to forget.
There aren’t many more stunning holidays than taking a trip to Sorrento, but our multi-centre deals certainly fit the bill. Spending two days in Naples at the start of your Italian escape will satisfy all of your senses.
With so much incredible food, you’ll be spoilt for choice. And when you combine those mouthwatering options with history, architecture, shopping and nearby Mount Vesuvius and the ruins of Pompeii, you’ve got the perfect recipe for a short break that will live long in your heart. We’d recommend an underground cave tour or a leisurely boat ride for a fresh perspective on Naples.
And if you’d like an even larger slice of Italian life, you can start in Rome before visiting Naples and Sorrento by train and bus. ‘The Eternal City’, as it’s often called, is the country’s capital with an astonishing history that shines brightly to this day.
With an abundance of attractions, including the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain, the Roman Forum and Vatican City, your two days here will provide a one-of-a-kind sightseeing experience. You might prefer to spend your time shopping and savouring as much of the high-quality local cuisine as possible.
Rome is a wonderful city whatever you decide to do on your short break here. It’s also an exciting way to begin your Italian holiday with the many delights of Naples and Sorrento still waiting to be explored.
