Sorrento

The town of Sorrento is a gem along the Amalfi coast, only 50 minutes away from the international airport of Naples. After living in Sorrento for six months and traveling across Europe in that time, I was always excited that “home” was Sorrento. There are endless places to eat and drink accompanied by views and sunsets. Sorrento also has many incredible hotels to choose from that we are partnered with that give wonderful perks.

Italy is a vast country with various regions, each with its own flavors and landscapes. This ten-day itinerary (including one day allotted for travel to and from) is perfect for the first timer to Italy. The trip is equally suitable for couples, families, solo travelers and groups. The three main destinations (Rome, Florence and Sorrento) will serve as your home base hub from which to explore the classic historical landmarks and natural beauty of the areas.

Designed to condense several key highlights into a short time span, this itinerary will have you touring at a moderate pace, but never so fast that you can't absorb Italy's cultural splendor and natural beauty.

In August 2023, I had the delightful opportunity to experience this charming boutique hotel nestled along the captivating Sorrento coastline. This hidden gem captivated me with its attentive staff, delightful complimentary breakfast, and breathtaking views from the property. For anyone seeking Sorrento's essence, I highly recommend this remarkable destination.

Italy holds a special place in my heart. Being there allows me to connect with my ancestral roots and truly be myself. I've been fortunate enough to visit my great-grandfather's birthplace and meet distant relatives who still reside in Italy. From the moment I set foot in the country many years ago, I fell in love! I have a mission to explore every corner of it. Learning the language is also on my agenda, although I must admit I am a beginner, at best. Recently, I embarked on a remarkable journey titled "Wonders of Rome and Sorrento". I designed this itinerary for my friends and family who were visiting for the first time and asked me to show them some of my favorite places! Below is a brief overview along with some of our photos.

The Amalfi Coast and the surrounding area is what so many think of when they think “European Summer”- probably because the entire summer it seems as though everyone on your social media feed is vacationing there! This area of Italy is one of Europe’s most popular and sought out travel destinations for great reason- from its breathtaking coastal beauty, dramatic cliffside villages and amazing cuisine. However, it is also well known for being massively over-crowded in the summer months. If you’re looking to experience this wonderful corner of Italy without having to deal with the masses in the sweltering summer heat, I am going to tell you exactly how to do that. Visiting in the springtime may not offer you a total beach-bum experience, but the balmy weather typically ranging from mid 50s to low 70s still allows you to be outside and experience the beauty, culture and cuisine. In this guide, I’ll tell you things to do so you can fully embrace the “off-season” and have a perfect springtime visit in one of the most beautiful destinations- including pleasant weather, sans thousands of other people.

To me, Sorrento is a place of enchantment for many reasons.
